April 26, 201313 yr Author majesticsoftware.com/mjc8q400 go to RESOURCES section, then TUTORIALS sub-section. The new tutorial is written by a real world Q400 pilot Brendan Ratchford, from Majestic Alpha Team. Many thanks to Brendan for it! Thank you and Brendan so much! Now let's dig in deep in that tutorial since i have a lot to learn! Alexis Mefano
April 26, 201313 yr Thank You Majestic! This is great news! Just downloaded it and now - ... reading and enjoying! Super! Cheers, Christoph Enjoy flying and happy landings.
April 26, 201313 yr I don't think this "bird" too complicated. It's pretty automated. Condition Levers and Power Levers have detents, it's all FADEC. There is a very good post about VNAV in another thread, but I personally fly without it. B) YES! FADEC is everything. Start the engine by pushing start, leaving for a cup of coffee. FADEC takes care of everything!

April 26, 201313 yr Great tutorial! Thank you Majestic and thank you Brendan, really good piece of info about this nice "bird"! Well done mate! Mauricio Brentano
April 27, 201313 yr The zip file is missing the FLT file, or is there another way to load the fssave and weather files?
April 27, 201313 yr Yes flt fille is missing choose Toronto downswiew gate 3 for starting place. Weather won t be the same but it should not be a problem
April 28, 201313 yr Sorry guys- I must have deleted it somewhere down the line between PC/Mac. If you'd like I can recreate the WX from March 20th in activesky and save that, along with the flt file and put it in my dropbox.

April 28, 201313 yr Well, that wasn't too hard... This flight file is from my original "picture taking" setting back in March. I downloaded the ActiveSky weather for that date, 0500Z report (but the sim is set to daytime, as I live in another part of the world). It is snowing in CYZD, which is pretty much the weather I had back then. Just assume your aircraft has been deiced with super-awesome Type IV fluid, your holdover time is until they make FSXI. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91923326/MJCQ400%20Delivery%20FLT%20files.rar Brendan R, KDXR PHNL KJFK Type rated: SF34 / DH8 (Q400) / DC9 717 MD-88/ B767 (CFI/II/MEI/ATP) Majestic Software Q400 Beta Team / Pilot Consultant / Twitter @violinvelocity
April 28, 201313 yr thanks a lot brendan, it's easier to work with the FLT files as then i'm starting exactly the same place as you are! thank you so much on your great work on the advanced tutorial.
April 28, 201313 yr Anyone interested in learning the technical aspects of the Q400, see here: http://www.smartcockpit.com/plane/BOMBARDIER/DASH-8-400.html Unfortunately there are no normal procedures, but at least you'll know what every button does. Jordan Forrest
