This time from the Orbx site.
A huge concern I have for P3D V3
"We are testing V3 at present and have yet to make any formal announcement about whether we'll charge for V3 installers. My original comments were made well before V3 went to beta and was mostly based on the new version being a major architectural change. It's not, being more like a v2.6 truth be told."
Interesting times.

We're an important part of their development program. WE are the beta testers.
Oh yeah. We also pay them to be permitted to do it.
Imagine if they sent Prepar3d V2.1.9 off to one of the armies or navies? That one was pure doggy poop.
Peace is fine, but it doesn't stop someone like North Korea's Kim Jong Un from going into South Korea.
ISIS is a local Mid East problem, for now.
The list can go on, but hopefully I won't have to.
So, no. I have no problem with Lockheed Martin per se.
That's not to say that I don't have specific problems with certain LM individuals.
If LM comes up with a good enough reason to buy Prepar3d V3, I would. But not on a long list of bug fixes.

Just a small update. John Venema now thinks that Prepar3d V3 is a great piece of software.

As for income - the entire income from P3D must be totally irrelevant for LM. It's just an entry ticket system.
But beta testing -- I agree with that. It is a (hopefully) never ending quest to achieve a realistic portable computer flight simulation ...
