There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

- Thread starter falcon409
- Start date
. I read somewhere that this may be a full install due to the number of updates... time will tell. Haven't had P3D since V2 so I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.https://fselite.net/originals/setting-expectations-prepar3d-v4-1/

That said, I know I'll do it, so what I just said is Bollocks.
I have located all of my third party assets to add-ons folders outside the main sim, so the re-installs are actually relatively painless at this stage of the game. Still..I always hold my breath a bit.

If those two are read to go, I'll pull the trigger.
as the update is available and you start the sim), or will the update be selectable at my convenience?
I came directly to v4 from FSX, so I don't know how LM has done these in the past.
Thanks - Rob

P3D doesn't auto update. The new version will be available via your downloads links.
The scope of the update dictates whether you can update modules or do an complete re-install.
Thanks for the reply. I will probably do then just like I do with new Nvidia drivers: let the more knowledgeable and
adventurous have first crack at the update and see what their experiences are.
So far this initial version of v4 has been working very well for me, much better than FSX. I will be interested in
seeing what the update brings.
Thanks again - Rob

The jump to a 64bit platform is a big commitment, and is definitely worth approaching with due diligence. That said, for those coming directly in from FSX, V4 does offer a very stable and well organized platform that accommodates updates without the headaches associated with earlier simulations.
Rob, a quote from the link delmos posted above

Matt has made it very clear that it doesn’t require a full install and confirms that you’ll have to update the individual components (client, content and scenery). He is creating a video to help make the process as easy as possible to update, which when released, we’ll share as well to support you with the process.

I'm sure the video mentioned will help newcomers, and we at SOH are also a helpful bunch

In the past changes in the scenery part often meant the fixing of some anomalies in some places, which were superfluous if you used another product in that area anyhow. You could might as well skip that or postpone it to a later major release.
We'll know, soon!

Fixes and Improvements
- Fixed missing textures in St. Louis Adams Mark
- Removed invisible objects that could cause vehicle to crash at KBWI
--> only needed when you fly there, have crash detection on, have a problem with it, and no third party add on that covers it already.
Most interesting to me is:
Added support for 4k Virtual Cockpit (VC) textures
I say wow! I think I have to remap my VC building efforts
