We will, for those who wish it, have new installers (these will cost) that will include PBR, RL and TG...

For now, this is the plan. We will be releasing the KA first, then the 737 and then, with luck, the rest, in short order.

Thanks.
That sounds great!
Very happy with such an upgrade path : bare compatibility upgrade fro free with the choice to pay for extra features or not.
Thanks.

Cheers

I'm simply curious where the T-38C might fit into that timeline. I noticed that it has already received an update for the latest version of P3D 4.5. It's pretty much the only sim aircraft I care to fly these days.

That sounds like a great compromise. Now I've switched most of my P3D flying to V5, I'm really missing using the MD530 & B407. If you produce an upgraded PBR version of them later down the road. I'll certainly be interested.

In my opinion the Weather Radar has to get the highest priority,due to the fact many planes from many developers use it.
Thanks, David

We are looking at between 10 and 15 bucks...
So, reading that I'm totally disappointed. That is not the way to bind customers. I have a fleet of 9 aircraft from MilViz, that is a total of90 to 135 bucks. I would perhaps accept 10...15 bucks for an update of all of them.
The more products I buy, the more I have to pay? So I get punished for being a loyal customer? Are you kidding?
You are free to buy or not to buy. It's your money.
This is a VERY cynical statement. If I don't want to trash my investment, I have NO choice, other than to pay and you know that.

My plan was to buy to buy two more planes from MilViz during the next few weeks.

I will cancel that plan for the following reasons:
* I need the money to buy updates for my MilViz fleet
* I am annoyed about the fact I have to pay for the P3dv5 updates
* I am annoyed about your cynical statement

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Rainero, fortunately for me I've not invested as much of my hard earned as you in this company who "stand by their products". I've expunged anything to do with Milviz from my system. They are the most arrogant collection of people I've ever had to deal with in all my years of flight simming, and I certainly will not be waisting any more time or money on this mob, as I would suggest the same for you. Milviz "we stand by our products" I'd like to know what they actually mean by that statement, because they certainly don't stand by their customers, and in your case, faithful regular customers.

I'm looking at three myself. Just waiting to see what it will cost to update the five I have and which ones will be updated :o . Good news is I saw a couple of post where they are trying to make it where it's not so bad on the ones that have purchased aircraft :). What that means we will have to wait and see. ;)

These are fantastic! Would you be interested in attempting N435B from Key West Seaplan Adventures?

It's seems, Milviz is focusing only in the new shiny toy and letting down their existing P3Dv5 clients

V5 is terribly broken. Light effects and material texturing does not look as nice as in V4.

You do realize that we have more than 1 developer, right? Work on 1 platform does not mean that all work on everything else ceased. :roll:

Any updates at all please?
I expect everyone's waiting on 5.1 to ensure there are no.problems for further releases?
