Decision time

Recommended Posts

Gentlemen, please help me make a decision.  I would like to purchase either the Flight1 Super Kingair B200 or the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Pilot Edition.  I realize that they have different roles, but which do you think I would enjoy more as far as all around joy of operation?  Thanks

Regards,

Redeye

The Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Professional.  I was part of the inner team with Majestic and know the Dash 8 and many other airliners pretty darned well, and the Dash i amazing in every respect.  I own just about every airliner for FSX/P3Dv4.

Not too many knowledgeable people would care to argue that the two most completely modeled / best aircraft ever developed for Desktop Flight Simulation are the Leonardo Maddog and the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Professional (I'm on the inner teams for both projects).  That's not a word not allowed type statement, and you'll notice that I didn't include our Aircraft

Something else that people sometimes overlook... the Dash 8 Q400 Professional version not only has Shared Cockpit, but the Shared Cockpit is the best in all of flight simulation.  This not only adds an exceptional, fun, and even exciting element to your flights, but also there is just no better way to learn a new aircraft or most everything else in flight sim than sharing the aircraft with a friend and/or someone who is experienced with the aircraft.  I've used CFD/Shared Cockpit to train people up on aircraft and VATSIM too many times to count, and each experience was tremendously rewarding for me and them! 

If you get the Dash 8 Q400 Professional, you will thank yourself and never, ever regret it!

 

Best wishes my friend!

Do not make a too fast decision, before I also have thrown my two cents in :

 

Go for the Q400! 

 

Hope it's not too difficult to decide, now

Heh, I don't think there's anybody to be found who would say that this is a bad decision 😉

I'll add my vote for it... It's not a plane I fly often as I don't find it particularly relaxing, but getting it up in the air and down again in one piece is a pretty rewarding experience. One of my favorite aspects of it is actually the sound environment. The engine sounds are really phenomenal!

FYI -- the milviz King Air might actually be out soon (tm) :)   and "if" and "when" that happens, I'd take it over the JustFlight KingAir.

But yes, Q400 for things that are available right now.
