Where is the Dash 8?

[Guest cobra64]

Hello allI was browsing through my install files and a folder for the Dehavilland Dash 8C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XSimObjectsAirplanesDH_Dash8_100But in the game when I go to select an airplane, the Dash8 is nowhere to be found and I really want to fly it! what can/should I do?

It is an AI aircraft, as is the MD-80 and Cherokee. That means not flyable by default.It is possible to add a panel and make it flyable, but I dont have all the details so I will let the better informed about that particular process weigh in.

[Guest cobra64]

ok that makes sense.Is it hard to get it flyable, or is there a 3rd party Dash8 available?

Premier Aircraft Design is working on a Dash-8 release.http://www.premaircraft.com/index.html

[Guest BOPrey]

No. This one is better.http://www.majesticsoftware.com/c/portal_p...yout?p_l_id=1.1

Bo,Is the one from Majestic for FSX? It looks great! Do you have it?

[Guest BOPrey]

Yes. They are coming out with a patch for FSX. Their FS9 version of the plane is unbelievable. My friend was running the control module on a different computer setting creating failure conditions while I was flying. It even has an inflight entertainment system.

[Guest bjablonka]

Can't wait to get it. Flight 1's ATR for FS9 was great, but this one seems to be the best you can get. Any idea about the FSX ETA?

PSS do one for FS9 but the VC is not clickable.

[Guest SimDog]

There is one in the file library. A -400 for FSX called Red Mountain Airways.SD
