UPDATED!! Majestic Software Q400 Ver 1.025 Released for Prepar3D

[VNC101]

Majestic Homepage

We have released an updated version (1.025) for Prepar3D v5.x & in development v6. There are some interaction issues on the P3D v4.x platform that are not correctable so our support will be primarily for v5.x and v6.x when it becomes an active version by LM, this however does not prevent one from using ver 4.x, as it is still considered to be backwards compatible.

There have been users providing misleading information among various user groups speaking to LM's newer P3D v6 which is currently in development. Yes, our new installer does show an option for the new version but this was merely for our in-house testing purposes. Majestic does not have any information or knowledge as to when LM plans on releasing the newer version, nor would we share/hint any info even if we knew as it is not information for us to share.

The updated version can be obtained from your User Area on the official Majestic Software website.
