The Majestic is a joke, fidelity to some abstract concepts, amateur hour when it comes tothe actual graphics you have to operate with...pfffft. Not to mention that there's been noactivity on the web site for something like a year, I would put no big hope in that.The best thing to do right now is get XP10, the Q400 available there is just great, I've been flyingit and am very happy with it.

None of that is sound advice. None of it. In fact, the whole post of yours is so inaccurate I find it dizzying.

Have to agree (happily) with Zach on this. As one example of Majestic's commitment to their products, the Q300 was patched to version 2.006 in September 2011, less than a year ago indeed. Granted, its graphics can't compare to PMDG standards, but its systems and flight fidelity are impressive and can be compared favorably with anyone's. Their upcoming Q400 looks fantastic, and a video of it on approach and landing was recently posted...proof indeed that the project is alive and well.Now...where is that long-awaited-for PMDG Dash8??

You have to go to the forums to see the activity. They have been posting updates quite regularly. The pictures they have posted look amazing so far.

As always, full of sound and fury....I've owned the Majestic since 2008, do any of you own the FlyJSim Dash 8?Dizzying, ya right... why do I bother...

Not to fan any flames (as I've never used the product), but from all indications the FlyJSim Dash 8 is not a systems simulation to the level being discussed here.

"Sound and fury?" So you're referring to yourself, right? This speaks for itself. :(

I've never owned or used xplane, but from what I have read or heard, its not very in depth. A lot of people complain about the FMC's in the various addon aircraft. Not sure if this is the sim or just the addons. (I read this in the Mcphat ATR-72 forum)I give it to the end of the day for this thread to be locked. Seems to always happen with the Dash 8 threads.

As a RW Dash 8-200/300 pilot, I have found that the Majestic Dash is VERY detailed in terms of systems and it is 100% spot on. Visually, it is not as pleasing as the NGX.My hope is that with the PMDG Dash, we will get the best of both worlds in terms of visuals and systems.

Thanks for confirming Dan.I especially enjoyed playing with different failures via the instructor control panel, and I am very much looking forward to the Q400. As much as I did not like the 300s and prefered ATRs over them greatly, I was really captivated by the Q400 first time I got up close to it when Tyrolean started sending them to us in place of 300s.Those props, those nice, long fuselage lines... yep, working the OS rotation was highlight of the day, airplanewise. It only could have gotten better if they sent a Fokker (much so for the benefit of variety, admitedly)

This is why I love forums, they can be soooo entertaining, especially from folks who rather jump into the pool before checking to see if there is any water in it.While the topic is relating to PMDG's Dash 8 (which in time I am sure PMDG will inform us accordingly), the Majestic project is very much alive based on the updated info by the developer on the website, however if there is a gripe regarding Majestic, please do so in their forums. I think that we show a level of dis-respect to PMDG by discussing another project in this forum, and could likely see a locked post.Anyway while we twiddle our thumbs patiently on the Dash, I think RSR addressed this very topic a few weeks aback by stating (something to the effect) that when and if there is information it would be revealed. I think that is sufficient enough, as no further explanation is really needed.

You have a point. I shall refrain now...

Peter,My statement was not directed towards you. I am sure that worthwhile discussions are permitted, but bashing I am sure is not tolerated. This is how good things are quickly put to rest.

Agreed.Then when an admin eventually locks a post, a new one pops up claiming that PMDG doesn't like their customers, it is quite pathetic.

lol all i asked was a simple question! i do have the majestic q300 its rubbish i have flown the real thing and it is nothing like it, the q400 they are making doesn;t look very flash either! pmdg did say they will make one! Andrew
