Majestic Dash 8 Q400 - Release Thread

[Hangman 10]

All fine here. LOVE IT. Excellent... amazing that this is the most basic package too  B)

[747-fan 19]

If you're annoyed at the default VC placement (right seat instead of left seat), here's how to fix it:

 

1: Make a backup of the aircraft.cfg file in the mjc8q400 folder.

 

2: Open the aircraft.cfg (right click+ open with notepad)

 

3: Scroll down to the [CameraDefinition.6] entry.

 

4: Find  the line called Hotkeyselect=1

 

5: Comment it out by writing "//" in front so that it looks like this:

 

//Hotkeyselect=1

 

6: Save the file.

 

Hey presto. If you press F9 you'll now be in the left seat by default. All the other views work like before.

I found the reason for the aircraft turning to the left beyond 40KNOTS. My tiller is locked to the left and I can't bring it back to neutral. How do I control the tiller?

 

Graham,

 

Do you have you tiller assigned to a joystick, or do you have it linked via your yoke? One of the final checks that myth want to make a habit is to check that the NWS tiller is centered.

After a while, it stops 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 indocator may not work

 

My FI Gauge Attitude indicator and TC is not working. When I load the aircraft again. It works for a bit and then stops. I checked. FSX is not sending the Pitch and Bank numbers out with this aircraft

 

Any ideas?

I'm loving this, already have 3 sectors under my belt and halfway through my 4th, ^_^  B)  but does anyone have an accurate fuel planner? I know the manual says X many KG per hour, but if anyone knows of one that takes into account cruise altitudes / temps and winds that'd be great. FSBuild only has data for the DCH8-3 and I've no real world source for the data...

 

Regards,

Ró.

Not happy with JF just now. Bought this aircraft and tried to install. Got an "No order found" error when attempting to install. Out a good bit of money until they get this sorted out.  Ok, got to change my opinion of JF. Have to assume that it was some type of order verification delay. Waited two hours and reattempted an install. Installed without any difficulty. Happy camper now.  Off to see if I can get this bird in the air.

Since at least two of the sellers have stated the upgrade cost will simply be the price difference, seems little reason TO wait.

 

I've not decided yet, but will hold off at least until the mad rush settles and their support forum returns.

Just got it from JF... downloaded in 15 mins... installed in 2 mins...

 

10 mins to figure out how to start the engines :blush:

 

First flight successful..

 

Great airplane!   Nice visuals, good fps, looks very complete and "professional".

 

I'm getting the 126 page manual printed so I can read up on how to program the FMS and

properly fly this airplane...

Anyone found a turnaround for the annoying 'spot' camera issue?

[lodestar 186]

Richard - thank you. Can't wait to try it

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Welcome  :smile:

[William J.S.S 173]

First flight/ pattern work complete.

 

Sound = Best out there.

 

FDE = Out of this world smooth and nice.

 

FPS = How is the world is this plane pegging out at 30FPS in Orbx land!!!!

 

Visuals = Step up from current best. This is a new benchmark on addons.

 

Config Manager = Little confusing but will have to play with it more. I only have a Saitek x52 so I am limited.

 

Throttle = Anyone know how to get full throttle without blowing engines on takeoff!?! Lol. Took me 3 tries.

 

Price = 100% worth every penny.
