News from Leonardo SH - News and updates - Fly the Maddog X Support & Community Forums

Since we are a small team and in order to optimize future development, we have reluctantly decided, like other developers, to stop updates for Prepar3D. Therefore, it will no longer be sold for P3D 4/5, and support will no longer be provided; however, the forum and related resources will of course remain available.

Sad news but lets be honest there are just not enough of us P3D users left and my guess would be sales have pretty much flatlined for a while now...

I guess anyone that hasn't bought this lovely but obsolete aircraft might want to make use of the current Black Friday discount, which runs for 5 more days (at the time of writing). After which the aircraft will likely not be available for purchase anymore.

Sad news but not totally unexpected! 

Very sad news... 😠

Interestingly, they are still charging 72 Euros (even with Black Friday discount) for an "obsolete aircraft".

Well, in my system, it will continue to live on.

 

One of the best/most complete addons for any sim, ever.  Leonardo did a great job adding new features to this plane over the years. 
 

what this is telling me is they aren’t selling enough copies to pay the fees to an online retailer like simmarket, but I could be wrong.

 

Either way, thanks Leonardo for producing such an exceptional aircraft and wish them the best on their future.
