FG 2016.4.4 or fg2016.3.1?

Postby Pputtock » Wed Mar 08, 2017 5:56 pm

Hi!
I bought FG 2016.3.1 last year, and then I have recent;y downloaded FG 2016.4.4. Which should I be using? I am not a developer but a casual user.

Sometimes it is better to stay with the older version because it is more stable.

But, I would presume that development on V3 will stop now.... so should I be using V4?

I welcome everyone's comments and advice! I have had a few problems with V4 so it might be a "nicer user experiience" to stay with V3!

I would recommend stepping to 2017.1.2, which is out since a few weeks. FlightGear is a continuously evolving project. Every three months a new - most of the time stable - version is released. Sticking with an older version of FlightGear is no problem, only if you want to use the most recent version of the airplanes you like you might get into trouble.

Thanks for the heads up on 2017.1.2. In a way it makes sense to stay with the latest version because that will embody improvements.
