How not to mess up v4 - By Robert Randazzo

Post by MarcE »

hi all,

I just want to share a long statement from Robert Randazzo (CEO of PMDG) with you. He explaines how and why people in fact have CTDs with their v4 installation or have other incompatibilities.. I find it very informative and a very good warning to people using P3Dv3/FSX products in their new 64bit sim.

And this also explaines why we have to wait that long for the addon aircrafts to be recompiled for 64bits.

Cheers,
Marc

Cracking post! Unfortunately it wont stop people shoehorning stuff in. I tried to make the point (In another place)that when someone says 'I installed XYZ aircraft into V4 and it works perfectly....except I can't hear various sounds. To me, that means IT DOESN'T WORK!
That didn't go down well. :D

Is there an easy way to review a model file to confirm its 64 bit credentials?

So many sites say compatible when all they really mean is that it will run when installed in the v4 sim.
