    Lockheed Martin has released a new major version of its flight simulation and training platform--Prepar3D v6.  With the new release, some of the licensing conditions have changed--a new Personal Edition license has replaced the former Academic Edition license, which now explicitly permits home use by anyone as well as K-12 educational use.  The Personal Edition requires internet connectivity during use, and LM have removed the watermark that was displayed on the former Academic versions.  Pricing for the Professional version for v6 and new Pro licenses for P3D versions 3, 4, and 5 have increased to $350.  License details and purchasing information are available at https://www.prepar3d.com/  Early reports suggest add-on compatibility for products developed for P3D v5 and earlier is not a given--for more in-depth discussions visit the AVSIM P3D forum.
