I don't know what you all are dealing with in terms of difficulties, but I have ADE working fine for editing sceneries for P3Dv6? Maybe the difference is I also have v5 installed and thus I just load ADE in "v5 mode" and edit v6 sceneries. Never had an issue. ADE V01.79.7475 Dev

Definitely looks like a non-publlic release, oh well, back to v6.

Very true, but to be clear: this doesn't mean this won't be available to port into P3D or as a new "version" available to consumers. We know LMs simulators are geared towards this audience, but that doesn't mean we can't reap the benefits as we always have 🙂

....its 12:30pm EST. Patience. From their website it seems they are revealing it at I/ITSEC which is going on as we speak. So that would indicate this is of course meant for their commercial customers but we will see how it can maybe link to us lowly consumers. "4. New Simulation for All Environments We’ve quietly developed a state-of-the-art simulation engine that will serve as the backbone for all of our training solutions. It will also be available for integration into training solutions currently in the field. See it first at I/ITSEC."

Even if we assume this is v7 or something replacing P3D that is available to the consumer community... I'm not sure what to make of this. v6 was a huge step forward from v5 IMHO just for the Lighting / Atmospherics improvement...but not a big enough step forward to bring developers back to P3D. I use v6 and I already have to spend a lot of time tweaking to install things and make them work properly, so the idea of another version removed from the latest supported version of P3D would only make that work (if it's even possible at all to make old versions work). Still excited to see what this will bring, though.

Thankfully I was wrong too. I do hope the developer looks in to removing the server necessity for the tool to run (after it’s been activated, of course) in case for some reason we no longer have access one day.

Still down for P3Dv6.

Huge shame that we are about to lose such a pivotal tool just because it has no online access.

Just checked, still down. Have raised a ticket. A quick search shows this has happened before, and was a more widespread .Net problem...so hopefully that's what this is and it will be back up soon. We'll see.

When starting FFTF this weekend, I'm getting the following message: “Offline usage limit reached: Application cannot connect with FSPS servers. Please get online or allow traffic for FSPS applications through your firewall”. Seems like it's happened before based on a quick search. Anyone else having this issue? On a side note, I absolutely cannot stand how I've paid money for these products that absolutely have no reason to be connected to the servers at all, and my continued usage of them all depends on whether or not the company keeps their servers online.

A few things have changed (some gates / jetways in the C/D complex, but i would say its 99% accurate to today's standards). The one thing it doesn't have it (obviously) the new concourse under construction which is expected to be operational some time in 2026.

What version did you roll back to and how did you do it?

Pretty scummy of them to sell this product and say it is Legacy with no support. If you look at the sales page for P3Dv6, is does not list it as a legacy product nor include a "no support" disclaimer: https://parallel42.com/products/chaseplane-professional Compared to the P3dv5 and below version that clearly has the disclaimer: This product is sold in its current state. It will not receive further updates or active support from //42. Please ensure compatibility with your sim and note all requirements before purchasing. https://parallel42.com/products/chaseplane-legacy

Thanks Ray. Ill give this a try when I get off work this afternoon and report back.

I honestly think this is better world coverage for photorealistic than MSFS simply because it’s not streamed. No matter what happens it will always live on my ssd. I don’t have to worry about server access.
