Decided to spend the 20 euros and dusted off the q400 again. I am still amazed how Majestic manage to do what they did. I am getting 3.6/7.1 VRAM (I cannot justify spending that much money on a new RTX card) with setting quite high at a fairly demanding airport. The PC6 maxed out the VRAM immediately at this airport.

The only reason you are going to part with 20 euros here is if you feel like supporting the developer. To be fair I did so I bought the pack but it is poor value.

Support them to keep on putting out low quality upgrades? Isn't it sending the wrong signal?
You would be better donating the money to Chewy for highlighting the poor quality and value for money of this upgrade.

your point is valid.  However, majestic has put out the most realistic turboprop in all of flight simulation.  Also at a performance that's WAY BETTER than any other payware aircraft I own.  So yeah I give them a pat on the back for that.  

Obviously the PBR can be seen on the external model and TG is a nice addition but is there any noticeable improvement in the VC??

Sorry, I am a total fan of Majestic and their Q400 (have been flying it enthusiastically for years),

but what this "upgrade" is supposed to represent sounds more like a joke (if not a hoax) to me !!!! 😞
This "update" really brings no added value at all, and that for 24 € !!!!
As a longtime customer and fan of Majestic, I feel a bit taken for a ride....

I will pass on this one.

I enjoy the Q400 as much as everyone here. But steep price tag for cosmetics (mostly, IIRC)

All working here now.  £17 is worth it for the TrueGlass windshield effects alone for me.  Much more immersive in inclement weather 🙂

There is more than meets the eye with this update but unfortunately I think the developer did not include it in the expansion description.

I fly the Q400 solely in shared cockpit and we were surprised how the plane was more stable! In the past we did experience lag and bugs but it seems Majestic injected a lot of bug fixes with this expansion as well.

Also I don't understand these complaints about paying $20 for an expansion. For christ sake PMDG charges $70 for their expansions! If you are going to be flying study level airplanes and not spending more than $20, Idk what to tell you.

And people will spend $3000.00 plus on a GFX card and not blink an eye, yet moan about $20.00.

I say if you want it for free go and make it for free yourself, then release it as freeware to the world.

PS. just getting lunch with my work colleagues cost me $34.00, 30 litres of fuel was $58.00 and road tolls are around $40.00 a week.

"Buy this expansion because it includes bug fixes they aren't giving to non-paying customers" isn't the great argument you think it is

When I posted that I won't be buying this, all sorts of Avsim people jumped on me. And now it turns out that this add-on is a terrible value for quite a few people, I feel more than justified in not supporting this product. I love the aircraft, but this product was not a good idea, especially not at that price. Good luck to Majestic.

Hahaha, can't believe you guys are still complaining about not enough value for $20!
