Majestic Dash 8 for MSFS?

Featured Replies

Has anyone know or heard anything about the Majestic Dash 8 being developed for MSFS in the future? I still fly it in PD3v5, but I was wondering if it will ever get developed for MSFS.

  • Compared to Majestic Dash 8 in P3D, The ATR in MSFS is horrible/joke. Several systems are either broken or don't work as intended. Developers are not bothered to fix it, every time they release an upd

    I would take a majestic systems level q400 even if only at p3d visual model quality.  

  • How’d you read that and get that interpretation? It works in 2020 and they’re of the same thinking as a lot of devs when it comes to 2024, new features that they’ll need to delve into. 

I've been patiently waiting for the return of the Majestic Q400...such a remarkable simulation.

The updates on their forum are few and far between with the odd mention of staff changes over time.

I suspect their commercial interests (training software) are a much larger proportion of their operating income (with "entertainment" flight sim being a much smaller focus, given their resources).

Majestic has not yet cancelled their plans to migrate their product to MSFS...the good news, they are still active developers...unlike the old Level-D guys...(yeah...remember them???)

It's in development for MSFS. I think they said they are part time developers and they have other jobs, so the progress is slow. You can Google their last update.

Also waiting patiently for this. Posted today on their forum:

Additional Information regarding MSFS 2020/2024:

Development on the Q400 is on going but we are still in the process of working to source a modeler to begin on the tasks that need to be done, which will be very time consuming. as progress on this becomes available we will share more information when we deem it necessary to do so.

The aircraft on the back end works very well with MSFS2020 although there will need to be some additional work for MSFS2024 as it is fairly new to us as it has new technologies that will certainly provide new opportunities for development.

Thanks guys, I miss the Q400. Yes, I remember Level D. They all much disappeared. I still have their B767, one of the best AC released for flight sim. You're making me show my age..lol

Doesn't sound very promising, sounds like they have no idea.

One of the best ever hands down...  I remember holding out hope for years they were going to do the 757 😞

Such a great plane. With FS2Crew added to the mix.

Same here.  I guess the bluebird sim one looks pretty good.  I think that's the dev name.

Easy, I read this sentence, I'm not sure how there can really be another conclusion:

"we are still in the process of working to source a modeler to begin on the tasks that need to be done, which will be very time consuming"

Yeah, that was another one that took so long to develop they missed 2020 altogether 😂  It does look pretty good though but to be fair, CaptainSim always looked good LOL Ironically, I used their 757 more than I would like to admit despite it's flaws.  It looked and sounded great for the time.

Yeah that's true.  I've used a CS plane here and there in the last 2 decades.

What gave you the idea they had “no idea” though? They need a modeller, they still have a functional plane with which they can test in the sim. It’s pretty fair to assume they just need a modeller to bring the aircraft’s modelling to a more modern spec, which is quite time consuming.
