Majestic Q400 in P3d v3

[Charlatan 68]

After all the reviews, I took the plunge and ordered v3 yesterday.

 

Managed to get my orbx scenery installed and working using the folder renaming method, and just seen the info for installing the Aerosoft A320 bundle.

 

Tried to install the Q400, and while appeared to install ok, was running in jerk-o-vision and just wasnt right.

 

Anybody else tried to install the Q400?

This addon is listed as being released for v3 by the developer?

This is from their official forum in answer to installing in V3 -

 

"Or you can simply install the Q400 into an arbitrary location, and move the file structure into the Prepar3D root folder"

 

They are looking into a dedicated installer.

I've got it installed in v3, I haven't seen the instructions mentioned above on their forum (which forum is this, on the Majestic one I haven't noticed anything). EDIT: Found the post over at Majestic

 

I just installed it like I previously did to V2.5

 

I initially thought everything was fine, but noticed I too get a weird "jerky-ness" while flying and switching to external spot view.  Also, the interior cabin views aren't quite aligned properly like I seem to remember them being in 2.5.  Definitely a few oddities that need to be addressed.  Haven't spent a whole lot of time with it to see if anything else is off.

 

It's possible I simply didn't install it properly as I haven't actually seen their instructions, but am seeing similar jerky movement (framerate is steady, just the plane jerks).

  By default, in P3Dv3, the Q400 will use the regular "spot" view for outside. Where it should actually be using the "locked spot" view. Hope this helps.

Hi.

 

Yes I installed the version 1.16 (I think), in P3D v3 and it works perfectly. FS2Crew does not work though.

I installed mjc8-400-Pilot-1_016-inst.exe to a folder of my choice , then  left in it only the mjc8q400 and the effects folders in it and used this command from a command prompt to install it i P3D V3... 

 

Folder Q400 subfolders effects and mjc8Q400 (the actual AC.)

 

Prepar3d.exe "-Configure: File=SimObjects, Operation=add, TITLE=MjcQ400, Path=D:\Q400" "-Configure: File=Effects, Operation=add, Path=D:\Q400\effects"

 

This makes this plane fully COMPLIANT with LM Add-On requirements.  Flown it for a while and seemed OK everything was working.

 

Brilliant!!!!

Works fine with the new Beta installer, but FS 2 Crew isn't ready for it yet.

aeronauta / Jorge...  Olá de Portugal!

 

You mentioned using the command line to properly install the Q400 in P3D3. Please just clarify to me one thing..

 

- You originally installed to folder D:\Q400, and then run that command line to properly configure P3D3 for it, but the D:\Q400 has to remain there as the install folder for the aircraft, right ?

 

- The only subfolders you left, after running the nstaller, under Q400 were that of the aircraft ittself ( mjc8Q400 ) and an effects folder, right ?

I used the pilot version for quite some time with my P3Dv3 and had no problems after I replaced the mjc84_main.dll with the new beta version for P3Dv3. The only difference I noticed was that the Q400 must be the first aircraft loaded by P3D (this was not the case in version 2.5) otherwise a number of switches and buttons did not work.

 

Now I use the Pro version also with the beta .dll and I did not notice any problems.
