Wow.... Q400 fans... take a look at this!

Recommended Posts

Bit of an update for you chaps, we've released a short teaser of the kind of thing we cover in the training - this one is about the importance of setting the seat height correctly and getting the perspective out the window to look like that of a real Q400. Enjoy.

Very cool!! I always seemed to get "bored" during AoA training, this seems to add a little more of a "real" training to it with things being explained along the way. I will certainly be interested in this!

Not trying to stray away from this most interesting topic at hand, but I have to ask. In the first video, the q400 is on final and the view out the cockpit window is blurry at a distance and sharp within the cabin. Is this some kind of video editing. No way can this be done in fsx natively, correct?

 

Edit:  Or wait, is that scene at the end actual video of a real q400 on approach? Really confused by this eye candy!

Marc, the first video uses a bit of real world Q400 footage in the trailer to emphasise the 'real world' aspect although there are no plans to include it in the actual training, which is all based inside FSX, as per the second film.

 

A few people have asked about ENB settings etc, none was used for filming as it can be easily added post production to give more of a 'cinematic' look.

 

HTH.

Well made videos, and the way the seat position one was presented was really entertaining, and the brittish accents are just perfect for training videos. Definitely getting this if it is priced reasonably!

If FSX actually looked like that...I think we would all have died and gone to heaven...lol.

You should, cause the Q400 is ridiculously good. It's one of, if not the best plane for FSX

Plus one!

Ridiculous Good!!!

 

The Q400 is taking us into NEW territory! Hopefully others will follow!

 

Works outside of FSX and now the shared cockpit feature in the upcoming PRO version.

 

Imagine flying the Q400 for a virtual airline on Vatsim, WITH, someone else as the copilot!!! How crazy is that!

 

This training looks great!
