Seems like my kinda plane. May have to invest. Like a challenging plane to fly..

Boy oh boy is the Pro version worth getting. Just took it for its first spin. A real hassle to enable the higher-precision controls--involved figuring out my joystick number and editing the ini file.

 

Worth the trouble, though. Controls are much more linear. Less twitchy. A real peach to hand-fly.

 

Best,

Very true, took a good few hours of frustration (found out the hard way that the interface doesn't always start properly if you re-load to refresh config changes without shutting down P3D), but now it's an absolute joy to hand fly, on par with my other hand flying favourite, the LES Saab 340A (albeit in XP10).

I found this video of Dash 8 although 100. Pretty stabilized approach, not much trim action it seems. Does 400 fly different?

 

Most definitely different; the 100 series is 30% shorter (this has big implications for pitch moments etc), a third of the power and nearly half the weight! Like comparing apples and oranges.
