November 23, 20214 yr Fellow Aviators, The year is closing in to an end, and we would like to share some exciting news from the MJC development team. Upcoming TRAINING Edition Release & Virtual Cockpit Re-Design for Prepar3D v4.5 and v5.2 — MJC Support Forum (majesticsoftware.com)

November 23, 20214 yr Quote we know that many folks were not pleased with the level of detail provided in the Visual Extension Package, so we are implementing a significant re-design of the Virtual Cockpit of the Q400 for the P3D platform. Changes to be expected will for done on the 3D objects and cockpit structural elements (roof, walls and so on) including the instruments. Both the instrument texts and the EFIS screens resolution will be improved. Completion of this phase of the VEP upgrade will be released for free to the owners of the Visual Extension package, as well as the Training edition of the Q400. It's great when a developer listens to feedback and does something about it. This is an unexpected and very welcome piece of news. Thanks @Tokitaumelie for continuing your work on the fabulous Q400.

November 23, 20214 yr It's too bad they're locking compatibility for sloped surfaces to the Training version. I'll probably end up upgrading just for that + the VC update, but it should be standard IMO.

Ground physics probably has to be adapted because as far as I recall the Majestic Q-400 uses JSBSim externally as the simulation engine.

November 23, 20214 yr Will this version finally include a single-cue flight director (as used by some of the biggest Q400 operators, including Horizon and Wideroe)? Edit: Just checked the features this list and it seems to be case (WING TYPE FLIGHT DIRECTOR). Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this one -- definite day 1 purchase for me.

November 26, 20214 yr The Training Edition has been released. Can't wait to take the Q400 to the virtual skies again...

How many airports in p3d feature sloped runways?

It's overall available besides Justflight... Thanks, André
