I installed the new dash 8 files (1.004b) on my FS2002 and the initial appearance is that it works, but the FMS seems to be dead. The readme is silent on whether or not this update is 2k2 compatible. Anyone know?scott s..

dh8-1.004b is to make the original Dash 8 package FS2004 compatible. If you're using FS2002, you don't need this update; instead, you should be just using the original edition which is dh8-1004. BTW, it is a healthy download!

That's what I would have thought, but the readme indicates some bug fixes and a new feature, the FMS. So it appears to me anyway as more than just compatibility.scott s..

For *FS2002* first you need the original main file.Then you need the 1004b update to fix a few bugs.The FMS does NOT work in the 2002 version. It has been updated to work in the COF version.Check out the web site by clicking on my signature bar below. There you will find the files you need. Also a link to the official forum for 'fanda'.Hope this helps.

Thanks. Had some time to do some testing, and it does appear the update is working properly, except for FMS :(BTW, the update has new aircraft.cfg, which changes the aircraft title. As a result, the sample flight provided with the original no longer works until the aircraft line in the .flt file is edited to the new one. Assume most folks able to install addons will figure that out though.scott s..

Scott, FMS is working just with the limited futures, to open (Shift+9).

Thanks. I missed that -- trying to click on the one on the center console! Completed my first dash 8 flight with FMS. Worked nice. I was playing around and somehow got a page which allowed me to select the runway, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what I did to get it. So as far as I can tell, everything on the new dash 8 Ver 2 is working in fs2k2.scott s..
