UPDATED!! Majestic Software Q400 Ver 1.025 Released for Prepar3D
This post is not an update regarding progress of the MJC Q400 for MSFS 2020, but work still is on-going and we will share info when it is time to do so.
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.

Great news, many thanks!! The usual question. Do we do a complete uninstall/reinstall or install 'over the top?" And if you have the Visual Extension package?
Kind regards,
Keith

As with any install or re-install, it is vital that one backs up any pertinent files before proceeding with the installation process.

Thanks for the update. Does V1025 include the Visual Enhancement or do I still need to install that separately?

It depends on which version of the Editions you have. The Pilot and the PRO Editions will require the Visual Enhancement, while the TRAINING and COCKPIT Editions have it included.
Cheers
I have the Pro edition and Vis Ext version is mjc8-400-VisExt21-1.024-inst, Is this still valid for 1.025 or will there be an updated installer?
Thanks
Ken
Ignore me, just found the Vis Ext updated installed in my Simmarket account - thanks.
