FlyJSim Q-400

[jcomm 5,939]

SATA Air Azores has it, and I did have it for fsx and p3d, and am really tempted to hit the Buy button, but it's a bit expensive @ 70+ bucks, so... I went searching for old memmories of when I used the Majestic SW Q-400, and found this rather well written mix of explanation and critic about how sometimes engineers design their aircraft :-):

This FlyJSim model looks really cool and now it has it's own FMS - not XP's default...

Must download from the store.  Skunkcraft updater won't work. 

 

Version 1.35   (March 27th 2024)

 

- for XP12 only - XP11 remains 1.34

- Doors will definitly open now.

- Fixed FPS on M1 mac, you know have a LuaJit toggle in the options menu of the JPad.

- Adjusted engine idle speeds. 

 

Version 1.34   (March 22nd 2024)

 

- Fixed Pressurization limiting doors operation.

 

## UNS:

- Fix crash caused by terrain display database at high latitudes (ENSB).

- Fix crash due to bad input validation on HOLD FIX page (when entering 0 instead of 

    a valid leg item number).

- Fix crash when deleting flight plan FMS heading mode was on.

- Fix once-a-second stutter due to wrong OpenGL texture transfer format for EGPWS 

    display.

 

- Change LNAV tracking algorithm to match the one used by the real FMS.

- Fix incorrect overfly turns when sequencing to a CF leg.

- Fix truncated procedure names in clearance-format flight plan (FPL > MENU > 

    CLEARANCE).

- Fix non-IFR airport not shown in database.

- Fix incorrect COM-radio frequency validation in FMS TUNE page (frequencies 

    above 135 MHz were incorrectly rejected).

- Fix some conditional legs not being parsed correctly (altitude legs with Flight 

    Level values).

- Change texture transfer format for EGPWS terrain display to minimise stutter.

- Improve direct-to roll out computation to avoid S-turns where possible.

- Fix holds not computed properly if inserted at the current TO leg with less than 

    15 seconds left before sequencing (plane was steering for 360° and never 

    turning back inbound).

- If "DISABLE M/APPR" is selected in the NAV MENU, show the missed approach regardless 

    once navigating to the last approach leg.

- Fix HSI/FMS desired track display. The FMS was flying great circle paths correctly, 

    but the HSI desired track was not updating along the (changing) great circle 

    heading.

- Improve display of DF (Direct-to-Fix) procedural legs with roll-out/PPOS point on MFD.

Well curious to see how it goes. Not such a big fan of the Dash8 Q400 either. Still waiting for promised XP12 updates for some of their other wares - so till they are done it is a hold for me! That's all I can about support!

Dont really have any issues with it.
