FSX Majestic Dash 8 Q400
NOTE: Purchase with confidence. Our addon is the only one available on the market, which includes a built-in Flight Dynamics Engine completely independent from the default FSX FDE.
The consequence of this is a much more realistic aerodynamics behavior of the aircraft, in particular the realistic wind simulation, enhahced propeller physics including the propeller discing and auto rotation, effects of the propeller airstream on the wing lift and the icing effects on the propeller, wings and the flight surfaces.WEATHER RADAR.TCAS. The dual Flight Management System, included in the package is built after the Universal ™ 1E FMS, and is developed with a high degree of detalization. The FMS system is capable of navigation in 3 dimensions (LNAV+VNAV), the RNP based navigation, the Fuel and Performance Management. The up to date navigation database, provided by our navigation data supplier Navigraph (subject to the additional charges, please see the for details), can be used to obtain the latest procedures. In addition, there is a custom provisions to control the availability of the ground services and the flow of the passenger announcements.USER DOCUMENTATION.VIRTUAL COCKPIT AND EXTERNAL MODELS.ADDITIONAL LIVERIES AND PAINTKIT. I purchased this airplane more than six months ago. Since then my first choice of flying in FSX/VATSIM is DH8D by Majestic Software.
Of course there took place some technical problems, especially with losing of LOC/GS and the lack of turbulence, but all major bugs seem to be fixed by the last update to the version 1.008.Of course it's not the plane for someone who does not want to learn it. It's also not for those who want to fly in semi or long distances, because Dash is not a demon of cruise speed. But if you give enough time and attention to this airplane, it will reward you a very real representation of the real turboprop.I can only say: Majestic Software - very well done! A truly magnificent aircraft addon for home simulation. In my opinion Majestic Software are, aside Leonardo (Maddog), absolute top quality. I have known it since I got their Dash 8-300 long time ago. I was awaiting this addon with my breath held.
And I was not disappointed.First of all it is an unprecedented MS aircraft as the software was built outside of FS. As a result, its FDE overcomes FSX limitations making it a truly realistic simulation. What is more, its performance (CPU load/FPS) is comparable to default aircraft! Virtually all systems are simulated plus lots of eye-candy and animations (who said you can't have both?).There are some glitches (no stopovers!), as it usually is with new products, but they are being systematically ironed out by the very professional team (they have RW Dash pilots on board).Once you get hooked, it is hard to fly anything else.What else to add? This is THE addon which made me switch from FS9 to FSX after seven years of resistance. I purchased this airplane more than six months ago.

Anone has an answer for this?Its not sending Attitude indicator numbers. Pitch and Bank information is not being sent out of the FSX.So if you havea second PC with the 6 pack on it, your attitude indicator and your TC may not workMy FI Gauge Attitude indicator is not working.
When I load the aircraft again. It works for a bit and then stops. FSX is not sending the Pitch and Bank numbers out with this aircraft.Anyone with Saitek )Pro Flight Insrument Panel. Does your attitude indicator work with this aircraft?

Please send an e-mail to support@majesticsoftware.com, and please give additional info regarding your system's O/S and what type of configuration are you attempting to operate the Dash with (I noticed you've made mention of a second PC)ThanksI am using Flight Illusion Gauges, that picks up all the basic aircraft position like IAS, Heading,VSpeed, Pitch and Bank (it takes it from FSUIPC). I don;t have a second PC.The bank goes to 29degree Left bank (even I bank right) and stops/freezes. The Pitch goes to negative -020 and freezes. The display within the VC is fine. I am talking about the values sent out of FSX via FSUIPC.This is basic info, almost all aircrafts putout within FSX.I have Win 7 64bit.
FSX GoldI would think any gauges or tools like Saitek Panels uses this info to display their gauges. I got a prompt response from Support.Too bad, the FSUIPC numbers put out of FSX is not right for this aircraft. Not sure if Pete can take the numbers of Q400 and put it out via FSUIPC.I may have to return this aircraft since I use FSUIPC a lot. And use it for my hardware. The bank pitch, Turn and ball positions put out by FSUIPC (only for this aircraft) is not correct.Hmmmm.I checked SAITK Panel attitude as well.
So people owning SAITEK PAnel would not be able to use this aircraft either.Quote'. Did you turn on the APU? The ground power doesn't generate enough power to start the engines, therefor you need to start the APU in order to start the engines.As tumtiddle has said above.it started fine for me a couple times now without touching the APU.just from the default loaded state with external power on. I havent plowed into the manual yet, just following the steps in the 'quick start', so maybe i missed something there and got lucky.

Do turbo props even need bleed air to start? I figured it was just an electric starter or something. Anyway i'll dig into the manual later after another flight.cheers,-andy crosby. But how can I see if APU is on or off. And where (how) do I switch it on or off.There is an APU panel on the overhead labeled 'APU Control' with four black switches.
You can see whether the APU is running or not by determining whether the first black switch the (the 'PWR' switch) says 'Run' in green letters on it or not.To switch on the APU, first press the PWR button. Then press the BL AIR button, which stands for bleed air. After this, you start the APU by pressing the black START button (second button.) Once started, turn on the APU GEN (third button) and you will be set to go. If there is a red WARN light illuminated on the APU GEN button, then this means that you are probably connected to the external power. The external power switch is located directly below DC CONTROL in the upper left corner of the overhead panel. Push the power button first- let it run through its self-test (lights cycle). Then push and hold the starter.
It is very quiet, so you probably won't hear it. In the real aircraft, you'd notice in an empty plane with the doors open.At a certain RPM, the starter light will go out. About 30 seconds later you'll see the GEN WARN light on, and the RUN light on the power switch. That's how you know it's running. You can connect the GEN now to power the aircraft- but only if there is no external power on.I'm gonna see if Oleksiy will upload my tutorial- it goes through all the systems tests and takes you really into depth about what this aircraft is capable of simulating. Start APU, turn on bleed air.Select starter and ignition, press starter.
When the turbine reaches max motoring speed (just less than 20%) move condition lever from cutoff to start/feather. Repeat for second engine.When both started, move condition levers all the way forward. Make sure bleed air/gens on both engines. APU off, move throttles to 'rating' when on runway: happy flying.You can actually just move the condition lever to start feather as soon as you see an Nh indication. This airplane has FADEC and doesn't need the 'max motoring' that most conventional turboprops need. Push the power button first- let it run through its self-test (lights cycle). Then push and hold the starter.
