Flew this for a couple circuits around EGLL and all I can say is wow.

I must agree, was testing out some resolved sounds issues in the 64bit Q400 and selected EGLL with DL since I know that's a FPS "hot spot" for just about anything that visits the EU triangle.  Performance is excellent:

And Kudos to Aerosoft for bringing an FPS friendly version of EGLL with Dynamic Lights.

Cheers, Rob.

On your bike mate!!! :( I downloaded from JF when posted above. I logged in to my account and got the voucher for the 64 bit version. Fake news, yeah right.

At that time when he posted (8 hours ago), it was definitely not out. But right now it is.

For pity sake, one more time...When I posted it was out. 9 Hours ago I repeat, I logged in, and I was able to purchase via discount voucher. How hard is it to understand.

Might be a server update problems then for different locations. As a lot seem to not have been able to get it that early from justflight. Anyway its out now so all is good.

 

On another note, Has anyone tried if the Immersive Audio Soundpack works in the 64bit version?

I can only get the voucher code on my justflight acct but there doesnt seem to be a download or purchase page for the Q for V4 yet. Perhaps it was up for a time and taken down.   (09:12Z)

Even if you use search? I found it under latest releases tab.

ah cool. I did a search at top and it only came up with the V3 stuff. Indeed your right. its under latest releases.  Perhaps its not search indexed yet or whatever. 

Thanks

I just got mine but: I AM IN THE OFFICE FOR THE NEXT6 hours.

Is it illegal to ask for somebody to give me the manual/tutorial or something to live until tonight :)

I would sooner thank Simwings myself 

You PC is amazing Rob, good for you Rob. 

I bought he Q400 on release then the Pro on release but I just for the life of me cannot fall in love with it. I hate that. Its right up there, but simply after trying a few times in the past don't enjoy it. 

Its a great shame as its will be wonderful in 4.1, but I think I will pass on the upgrade sadly. 

Or less someone can change my mind?

Feel the same about the PMDG 747  Installed it yesterday did one flight and thought DOH! in the hanger it went. 

There is a good reason I only list 3 aircraft in my sig

The performance of this aircraft is amazing. I get a maximum of 40 fps in the FSlabs a320 in best case scenario, usually 30fps below. But on this q400 I get minimum 60 fps. usually 70-80. Amazing. I understand it still doesn't have Dynamic Lights implemented though.

Pretty sure this is dependent on the amount and complexity of the simulated systems of the aircraft. AFAIK the Q400 is there not so demanding like the FSL bus or PMDG NGX.

He's in the UK and Just Flight are in the UK - that could be a factor.   I went to JF when he posted and was able to find it and download it (it was via a link to the news page). Just installed it this morning.  No problems.

Think we should give @Travelling_Wilbury a break here!

Probably i will not chage your mind, but i will tell you that i hated it also. I felt an "anxiety" on the flights. It must be because of the different systems and FMC that i was used to in the 737. I am feeling like my mind slows down when things are demanding with the Q400. The same i felt in the ATR back in FS2004 days.

BUT, as soon as i started using it regularly i had time to hand fly it and learn from her. She is different in landing in taking off e.t.c from what i was used. Also she can go to challenging airports where my 737 cant....

And last but not least, shared cockpit. I like to get into that also...

That's the reasons that i upgraded.

I’m wondering the same, it’s a must have soundpack IMHO.
