February 20, 20197 yr Glad to hear it, this is the best way forward and hopefully will lead to the full capabilities of v4 being exploited not to mention faster development. Hopefully oher developers follow suit.

February 20, 20197 yr Good news. Logical move - efficient use of their resources focusing on platforms that currently make sense will allow them to produce high quality material and remain competitive. I hope other developers take heed. regards, Andy MSFS/P3Dv4.5/| i7 9700K @5.0 | ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F |32GB3200C16 | ASUS 2080Ti OC connected to 3 x LG 27" monitors 5780x1080 | EVO 970 2TB M2 for sim, EVO PLUS 970 500GB M2 for W10pro64bit | VirtualFly YOKO & TQ6 | MFG crosswinds | T16000M |
February 20, 20197 yr Not surprised at this at all. If devs are going to take advantage of P3D advances, they're left with the choice of dual builds (and increased development costs) or simply choosing to focus on the current platform. Time moves on. Scott
February 21, 20197 yr Yep, great move. Time to go forward not backward... For all peoples still running FSX, you are still able to fly in FSX, but month after month, the new stuffs offer will decrease for that old version.

February 21, 20197 yr Commercial Member Eventually PMDG, ORBX, and other major developers will move off of FS2006. My hope is P3D v5 will break a lot of backwards compatibility with FSX and third party developers will take advantage of new tech that should be available with v5. It is a real shame that third party development has been stunted because so many developers straddle the fence between creating much better products with new technology, but having to be held back by catering to FSX users that will continue to use FSX for the rest of their lives.

Held back? how naive. When the pendulum stops swinging only then will they stop producing for older platforms. They are business people and not a charity. When the devs that really count such as pmdg and A2A make the announcement then we will no for sure the game is over for all platforms except the latest P3D platform but that could be years away if ever Milviz? ...not even in the ball park ZORAN
February 21, 20197 yr Wonder what that means for their KA350i, I suspect because they sold early copies when they supported earlier P3D version they may be boxed in a bit? Edited February 21, 20197 yr by MartinRex007

PMDG already announced that you will need the newest P3D Version if you want to get future updates. Of course this is only the first step. And I don't see the NG3 coming out for FSX, given that they already have a great 737 for that platform. Georgian Virtual Airports (UGMS Mestia / UGGT Telavi / UGAM Ambrolauri)
February 21, 20197 yr Completely agree with that decision. Backward compatibility and support hinders progress.
