AH Hurricane PBR

Work involved in updating products to V5 is huge. Many developers will consider charging for upgrades because of this. LM , in my opinion, has rushed the HotFix release, probably due to Microsoft Flight Simulator expectations. The result is a mess, requiring significant changes to models, code and materials. Not impressed.:engel016:

It was never intended for P3Dv5, as clearly stated on the AH site.
"The Hawker Hurricane MK1 is compatible with FSX , FSX steam edition and Prepar3d Version 4.4 +
FSX : Please note some functions require the acceleration pack and will not work as intended in SP2.

P3D : Please note that the dedicated P3dV4 is PBR only. If you wish to run the Hurricane as non-pbr you will need to purchase the FSX version and install that instead."

You're not completely wrong. It's a tough situation.

At the time of the hurricane being released, V5.0 was unknown. No information whatsoever. A betting man would have put money on a version 4.6 or 4.7 but not a complete rewrite of the rendering engine , a new sky system and other "enhancements". Example on future products ( like the one coming ) we say v4.5 and V5.0 that though doesnt mean 5.1 though. interesting times!

It is compatible. It does run in V5.0 . It doesnt look like what it looks like in 4.5 and to that end we suggest that you run it in the simulator it was designed for. I will ask for the source files for this graphic and change this graphic to say 4.5 , and will look into adding a compatibility note.

Also havent received a single email on the hurricane for sometime. We have an FAQ with email addresses that consider us spam if you want to check there. I check my spam folder only once a week and other than a surprisingly large amount of russian women wanting to meet with me there's nothing in there.
 
To put this into context I bought the hurricane PBR for v4.5 and I'm delighted with it.
Then having upgraded P3D to V5 I reinstalled the Hurricane into V5 and discovered it didn't work. For some time I assumed the fault was mine but obviously found no solution but moreover mislead myself into believing that V4.5+ meant it was compatible but I was doing something wrong.
Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding, nothing's lost I'll just wait until it all gets sorted out.
Keep safe and well
Mike
