Well, on the requirements they say this:

Windows 10

Use of this product in any other version of Windows is not supported at this time.

There seems to be a conflict here from Milviz.  On page 3-1 of the downloaded owner's manual (supplied by the Beta 41, Dec 16) , Milviz states Supported Operating Systems Windows 7 and Windows 10.  This may need correction from the developer.

We have not yet released it because it's not fully ready.  We ran into some bugs that need fixing.

The manual will be changed.  We do not support Win 7.  That said, we do have testers who have said that it works fine. That means if you have an issue and it's not replicated on Win 10, you're out of luck.  Sorry but we cannot provide support for an outdated operating system.  Other devs are allowed to do as they wish.  So are we.

P3D4.5 Hot Fix 2 is where we are right now in terms of sim level.

It normally means for the asking price you cannot get any better...is he saying its better than  the Q400?

I believe I paid more than 80 bucks for the Q400 Pro, so no not quite.

It's probably a very American term.  Imagine a range from Carenado up to the most expensive addon (FSL Airbus??)....  I think for what the features of the KA are compared to the price...it's really good.

Are you guys still aiming for today? or the release has been moved to a later date?

It's got the most bang for the buck of any flightsim addon (but I'm biased as a tester and a lover or GA bizjets/props etc)

I thoroughly agree with Ryan😀. But I am also a Beta tester and an earlier purchaser. There no comparison between the original version and this one it is light years ahead.

I’m really excited about this release. Honestly I didn’t think it would ever come out, especially with the potential market shift on the horizon. 
 

The King Air has always been one of my favorite planes. On my discovery flight way back in 1999, we taxied out behind a B200. It was the first time I had gotten a nose full of that sweet smelling Jet-A. The whine of those PT6 engines and sound of the props spooling up was amazing. 
 

Fast forward a couple of years after I had earned my private certificate, the company my dad worked for owned and operated a B200. There was an opportunity for me to work my way into the right seat of that plane if I could knock out my instrument and commercial ratings.   ....Unfortunately 9/11 followed and that opportunity quickly evaporated. 
 

So yeah, I’m REALLY excited for such a high quality King Air to be available! ...but with so much effort going into the development, take the time you need to squash those last minute bugs.  I mean I’ve only waited 20 years for this plane...what’s a few more days 😂

@ryanbatcund or maybe @gregmorin can answer this:

How complete is the pro line implementation? Is there anything missing? If so, what?

[Milviz 919]

SVS, WAAS, LPV and SBAS.  We might put the last three in later.  Might.  SVS... hard maybe.  Other than that, I don't think there's much missing...

Wow, sounds really good! Those arent deal breakers at all.

Btw, why is that you guys didnt implement FOD damage? You already modelled engine damage. it seems rather simple to calculate a chance of FOD damage on the engines if the ice vanes arent extended.

[Milviz 919]

in the 350i, the ice vanes extend internally.  They do not show outside.

We're not doing a full fails package... yet.  You can absolutely blow your engines...

I believe that we have a popup for all of the glass that's actionable.  if that's what you mean... then yes.  If you mean something that resides on an ipad... then no
