Prepar3D v2.0 Released!

Think I will wait for a while to let the servers calm down. By now they are probably getting hammered :).

Looks like the server is pretty busy Pat.
I'm making 100k and looking at 10 hours.
It'll be an all nighter, assuming they can handle the bandwidth.

If I wake up to three zip files I'll be pleasantly surprised.
 
Apparently I was one of the lucky ones . I started the download around 2350 EST and finished at 0120 . A friend of mine suggested I try Internet Download Manager so I did 3 months or so ago and it turned out to be a good investment . I haven't installed 2.0 yet . Between watching Denver losing to The Patriots and the download , it's time for some shut eye .

Some screenshots..

Iris F22 Raptor.

Note how all the shading and HDR effects are working on the surface of this jet. (Well done aircraft by the way). All the details glisten, bright sunlit panels are really bright, and shaded zones are very darkened as like in the real world.

Downloading! I'm going to install it this evening to test some of the features. I threw Win 8.1 with clean install few weeks ago and haven't installed older P3D yet, mainly because knowing the new version is just about due and didn't want to do all that installing twice during just few weeks. It's been a nice break from simming, other games have gotten pretty good time after that, but my stick fingers are already itching :wiggle:

I'm getting nice 2,9MB/s download speed and I'm here behind the pond (Finland).
 
Farewell FSX

Farewell Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and thank you for the outstanding service for all these years!

(...well, actually I will be using it also in future for the Tacpack...but still...)
 
Downloaded the full version in about 6 minutes, not too shabby........ now I'll need 15 minutes to unpack it? *gg*
 
OK dumb noobie question, can you still have both FSX and Prepar3D installed albeit on separate drives and REX and Orbx on both as well?

Yes, if installer have two options for FSX and P3Dv2 (like FTX addons).
 
For the moment, the V2 SDK is only available through the Learning Center UI. A separately available download for the SDK v2 will be online sometime in the hopefully near future.
 
Downloading now at 3.56 Mb/sec, from Portugal, no problems here...

PS: Done....took about 20-25 minutes, unzip whel, going to install
