carsson2 0 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hello aviators. Is this Wilco PIC 737 compatible with p3dv4: https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/prepar3d/aircraft/584/wilco-737-pilot-in-command-evolution There it says that is p3d compatible but it doesn't specify what versions of p3d. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted November 19, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted November 19, 2018 It's not compatible as far as we know. If only P3D is mentioned you have to assume it is the originally released version that was called like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickZ 300 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 It doesn't work in P3D v4, it's too old for that. It was an FS2004 product to begin with. It worked in FSX, but wasn't FSX native and therefor never offered the quality and features a native FSX product was able to offer. Given that P3D versions 1 to 3 aren't that different from FSX they got it to work in those as well, but P3D v4 is something else. The difference between 32-bit sims like FSX and old P3D versions and 64-bit P3D v4 is big already, the difference between FS2004 and P3D v4 is just too big to overcome. Several FS2004 (and possibly FS2002 working in FS2004 and FSX) techniques the Wilco 737 made use of are no longer supported in P3D v4, they're too outdated. For this reason you'll never see a P3D v4 version of this product. It would mean all FS2004 code not supported anymore would need to be rewritten. Then the rest of the code would need to be rewritten as well to match the parts of the code that have changed. And for what? To get a very outdated product to work? It's just not worth it.
