Majestic Dash 8 Q-400 (module 2.6)

Majestic Dash 8 Q-400

Module version 2.6

Majestic Dash 8 LINDA module version 2.6

This update adds a specific preprogrammed configuration default file for the VRInsight Original MCP (config-mcp.default).

Installation Notes:

• Download and unzip it and place the two folders into: */Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Modules or similar for P3D
• Say "yes" if he'd like to overwrite anything
• In the folder Modules\linda-cfg\aircrafts\Majestic Dash 8 Q-400 you'll find 3 files. They contain MCP Combo default assignments for the Dash8. If you want to use them rename them from *.default to *.LUA

I will update this files from time to time and will make a little note in this thread about the changes.
Users, who also made changes to this codes could post it in this thread or drop me a PM and we will update the module.
 

Features:

• All switches are working (most on/off/toggle) except Fire and FDR and all FO-side functions
• "semi-intelligent" MCP Combo displays: dependend on importance the display will show APU state, GPU state, Conditions Lever, Flaps state, Cabin Temp (Cabin Temp only for MCP Combo2)
• "switch bundles" for several functions: e.g. all panel lights with one button
• cold and dark function (from default loading state)
