Tip on setting MDL "bugged altitude" on the Q400 for takeoff

Featured Replies

The FS2 Crew FO announces "acceleration" when passing the 1,000 foot mark when you set the 1,000 feet on the MDL.  I noticed the last couple of takeoffs that I did from high altitude airports that I didn't get the  acceleration callout. I then checked the Q400 user manual and found out that the MDL is not using radar above ground altitude, but is using pressure altitude, so you have to set that at 1,000 feet above the altitude at the takeoff runway. So if the takeoff runway is 2350 feet, you would set MDL at 3350 ft to get the callout at 1,000 ft AGL.
