Upgrade 4.1 - 5.0 I am disappointed

At first:

I don’t need free software for all cases. I will pay for professional software.
If I pay for software, I don’t need free upgrades for all following versions.

An upgrade price of 60$ is okay for me, but…

But in this case I am disappointed.


I want to remember you:

20.12.2019
“Preparing for Our Biggest Release Yet
Earlier this year, we announced our plans for a major Version 5.0 update to Simplify3D. We’ve made tremendous progress working towards this goal, so we wanted to share a quick update.
…”


This in mind:

On the one hand someone waiting over two years for your release of the Version 5.0 and buying 4.1 because they think they get the free Upgrade.

On the other hand now i will get a better software version but a weaker license…

Also disappointed.
They have removed features.

Speed and Flow control have been removed from the Machine Control Panel.
I used these quite often and to find them missing is regrettable.

I am sure there will be other disappointments as I use this more.
Glad I still have the option of using the 4.x version as well.

Re: Upgrade 4.1 - 5.0 I am disappointed

I fully agree with you.
I have 3 printers, all with different settings (different extruder holes etc), so I used to play a lot with speed and flow settings. Not happy with the new V5. It is not nice (never remove existing feature) to remove any existing feature, as you don't know how important they are to customers. I hope this will come back on the next update.
