Do we have to redownload the whole package? Or is there just an updater available?

The installer is a complete replacement for previous versions, existing customers just need to remove the old version and install the new one.

I downloaded the new version 1.007 3 hours ago and made 3 short flights tonight (RNAV, VORDME and ILS). The routes were completed without dropping the IAF and VNAV brought me down nicely following the altitude restrictions. (PAWG-PAJN) (PASI-PAJN) (PAJN-PAYA). So for very good, in fact excellent!

All this time and the thing STILL shows up with a G-Force violation in the ACARS for my VA, before its even left the ground... sigh. Until this is fixed I just don't want to fly it, I had high hopes for this new version too...

[WR269 367]

Have all vendors updated to the patch? I still can't see it on Just Flight?

They've just e-mailed me informing it's now available from their site:

"To download the new installer please go to www.justflight.com and click on My Account at the top right of the page. Once you have logged in, go to the Purchase Details page to view your existing orders. The update can be installed over the existing installation of the Majestic Software Dash 8 Q400 Pilot Edition."

You have to consider that this amazing custom simulation is not built to fit within the constraints of your VA's ACARS system.  Majestic have made it perfectly clear that this simulation is using a lot of activity and processing completely outside of the FSX environment and constarints.              Your VAs ACARS system will be wanting plain old standard outout values from FS, of which this simulation goes way beyond.    Perhaps your VA needs to look at how it interfaces with more complex products, rather than your expectation that Majestic have to fit around you, and your VA.   Bear in mind that the Majestic is sold to a small audience, of which people who use your VA and it's ACARS are a further exponentially tiny percentage.
