Hello everyone,
Please give us news of the helicopters. Without these models, P3D no longer has any interest for me. I do not use it for several months waiting for the B407 and MD530 ...
Thank you for keeping us informed of the progress of the work

Nav units? I thought you said the MD530 was with the installer guy, who said, somewhere else on the forum, the problem is with the configurator having too many choices which weren't 'playing nicely with each other'. :?

Sounds like a case of left hand/right hand...

More a case of removing one roadblock to release only to find another roadblock around the bend.

I decided to wait till the new nav unit selection system was done so that it could be included in the 530/407.

Sorry for the delay but that’s what happens when you do quality stuff

Thought you'd been banned from the forum ;)

Yeah 100% agree with you, meant no offence, just as impatient as everyone else. I would rather have it working then go through a lengthy public "beta" as many developers seem to try and get away with :)

Thank you for reporting the news regarding the 407 and 530. I love these two birds and I‘m really looking forward flying them in P3dv4.1!
I still hope we will some day see a Bell407gx or Bell407gxp variant.....My biggest dream would be a Milviz Bell412EPI in P3d. I must be beautiful flying these modern version of Bell‘s workhorse with a synthetic vision flightdeck with my VR headset in the sim.....

Hello Milviz developers, It's really not my habit to insist on this, but still nothing in sight regarding the B407 and MD530 helicopters!
Apart from the answers: "nearly there" or "Working on it", Still nothing for several months!
Will these models come into being ? we are entitled to ask.
Our patience is really hurt by this behavior not very responsible ! not worthy of professionals for whom we have not hesitated to invest with confidence in their products!

Delays on the level of years are not uncommon in aviation giants like Boeing and Lockheed. We are taking the time to do things right rather than release a shoddy piece of work. And that means dealing with issues when they come up instead of ignoring them and releasing.

I fully understand what you are saying. Even if my English is not perfect. What I mean is that with the means that are available to us nowadays, a way for you to keep our trust would be to publish (by opening a permanent discussion thread on Facebook for example), to publish photos, articles reporting the progress of the work, the new features envisaged by your teams, etc. ... without that we have these long periods without news of your work ... a way for us simple users (but customers), we feel involved in these phases of work.

That takes time and effort (and money) away from the actual work. Sorry. We do try to keep you all informed but right now, that’s not possible.


We’re looking at a newsletter. We shall see
