PMDG have today released a statement detailing when each of their product lines will be updated to Version 4 of Prepar3D!
In a post to AVSIM, PMDG CEO Robert Randazzo wrote: “Please note that testing for market suitability has only just begun, since our beta tester and technical tester teams only gained access to Prepar3D v4 today at the same time you gained access… ”
As listed below, the first product to be released for P3D V4 is the 747-400 Queen of the Skies II, which we can expect before the weekend. The rest of the products are expected in mid and late June.
He then went on to talk about how and when: “We are putting a tremendous amount of effort into making the transition between Prepar3D v3 and Prepar3D v4 as simple and effortless as possible. When the product is ready for release, we will simply instruct you to re-download it from your account at our eCommerce site. (Aerosoft customers will get their copy from Aerosoft… but it will lag a day or two…)
The Prepar3D v3 and Prepar3D v4 will be contained within the same installer, similarly to how we deliver FSX/FSX-SE in the same installer. There is no free transition/upgrade pricing between FSX and Prepar3D as these are different product lines.”
