Lockheed Martin is proud to announce that the next generation of simulation and training will start on May 30, 2017 with the public release of Prepar3D v4. The release culminates over eight years of Lockheed Martin development and welcomes major enhancements and new capabilities.
Prepar3D v4 completely changes the simulation landscape with a comprehensive baseline update to a 64-bit architecture. Higher resolution visuals, more objects, increased data precision, larger scenarios, and improved performance are now all possible at levels never seen before in the product’s history. The sky’s not the limit!
Additionally, the release brings dynamic lighting, rain/snow particles, global 3D trees, a fully reworked software development kit (SDK), new default vehicles, and countless improvements.
More details will be released over the next week with Prepar3D v4 being directly available from Prepar3D.com on May 30, 2017 at 2:00pm EST.

As a v2 and 3.4 owner I wasnt impressed from the early access videos i've seen, nothing compared to DCS 2.0 to 2.1 difference, and was going to stick to 3.4 but if its a free update, count me in "More details will be released over the next week with Prepar3D v4 being directly available from Prepar3D.com on May 30, 2017 at 2:00pm EST."

it is free for those that recently purchased v3 ( up to 60 days ago ) - I had to buy it today. I bought v3 in August 2016 and I have (when I log in to my customer page) download links for v4? Jens

You can only request a free update if you bought it 60 days ago, otherwise you have to buy v4. Yep, you're right (and I was wrong). I just read it on the LM Frontpage. But what makes me wonder, is the fact that I have the download links for v4 on my customer page. Did you take a look at ypur download section before you bought again Tom? Jens
