ImagineSim has today released the Shanghai (ZSPD) update, which brings official compatibility with Prepar3D V4. This update also ensures that it brings big improvements in performance, high definition building textures and detailed ground polygons. As a Prepar3D V4 product, ImagineSim’s Shanghai (ZSPD) comes with dynamic lighting, SODE jetways and seasonal textures. All of these options can be adjusted via the included configuration tool.
The update itself will be free for existing customers. It’s available now from The Flight Sim Store. The V4 version will appear in your Flightsim Store account (click your existing Prepar3D V4 download link to obtain the new file), or inside the Flight 1 wrapper downloaded from our website. If you have purchased it from SimMarket, you will have to wait to be able to upgrade. More details will be given by ImagineSim in due course.
If you don’t already own Shanghai then you can buy it now for $29.99.
