Prices
A clarification is needed: today we spoke with simMarket and the prices we told you yesterday were considering the included 22% italian VAT. So the prices you'll see on simMarket are:

- 64bit: the equivalent of 70€ + your country's VAT;
- 32bit: the equivalent of 57€ + your country's VAT.
The 5€ discount will apply for all February on the retail price without VAT.

Thanks.

[Asid]

Fly the Maddog X will be available in two versions via simMarket:

64bit edition (P3Dv4.1-v4.2)

32 bit edition (FSX/FSX:SE/P3Dv3.4)

There will be a 5€ discount for both versions during the first week upon release. News for the customers of the legacy version shortly.

Thanks for your patience and your warm interest in Fly the Maddog X.

Fly the Maddog X version 1.1.0
10/04/18
 

Leonardo SH is glad to announce the availability of Fly the Maddog X version 1.1.0. All customers should have already received the notification email from simMarket. You will have to download and reinstall the whole package from simMarket (login -> your account -> your orders). Check the KB to see the correct procedure for upgrading: http://www.flythemaddog.com/hesk/knowledgebase.php?article=2

Keep in mind that additional liveries must be installed again.

We are also proud to announce that Fly the Maddog X is now supported by Mark Foti's 'SimServer - Remote CDU' version 4.0: https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=204106

We think this is a great addition (thanks Mark) and a great companion to be used with Fly the Maddog X!

We want to thank you all, expecially those which has supported us since first release and believed in us. Development is not over, and we will continue bringing new features and improvements in the future.

Yes, we are a small devteam, but this doesn't mean we lack the skills or the knowledge to improve further, or listen to our customers. More news soon.

From the developers
"We have released a new official version in our forum: you can download either the 'incremental' update, that will upgrade your Fly the Maddog X from 1.1.0 to 1.2b265 without the need of uninstall and reinstall (addon textures must be reinstalled after the upgrade); or you can download the 'full' installers, that requires you to uninstall/reinstall the product again.
