If there are still people pondering over whether or not to purchase the Q400 First Officer training let there be no doubt it is quality, quality, quality! Thanks to Ben & Josh for a most enjoyable experience. I've still got a lot to learn but thanks to Josh I'm getting there slowly but surely. Thanks again

It's been a while now any chance of a progress report (without committing yourself to a date)

works for me

"It does seem to me that a future "Airline2Sim Flying Club" would fit nicely into the mix especially as the founder of DigitalThemePark DTP is a beta tester for the Majestic Q400" Another thought is that having a common place for A2S Q400 cadets to gravitate towards, to fly together, talk to each other on line & feed of each others experiences etc would definitely be beneficial. I know, from experience, as I was stuck on an aspect of VNAV & a guy from Australia who I was flying the Birmingham to Guernsey leg with helped me out in no time at all. As I said previously the founder of DTP has close links with the aircraft as you can see from this informative video, "Majestic Q400 Post Release Party" was hosted by DTP with speakers from Horizon Airlines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5eJXY1WhwM

Ben, great idea, I know a lot of people are looking forward to Q400 Pro & the shared cockpit facility, not least because when it all goes wrong you can blame the guy in the right hand seat Would you expand a bit more on this ".......we'll look at setting up an Airline2Sim shared cockpit flying club......." I ask because a lot of fsx pilots, worldwide, already fly online with DigitalThemePark (DTP) using their two servers, one set to UTC & the other UTC-8 achieving daylight pretty much wherever you may want to fly. DTP also provide there own Teamspeak facility with dedicated channels for numerous flying clubs. It does seem to me that a future "Airline2Sim Flying Club" would fit nicely into the mix especially as the founder of DTP is a beta tester for the Majestic Q400. Further information available if required

I don't think anyone has mentioned TCAS. Some in depth input would be nice, both for people new to TCAS [me] & for the more experienced.

I know it must be there somewhere. :( Where do I find the OAT reading? Thanks in advance

Nice tip Trev. I subscribe to the "keep it simple stupid" school of thought.

JP, thanks for a full explanation & yes it does help a lot. Cheers

Thanks Lee

My target is to soon start flying online using PilotEdge in the Socal area of the states. Anything for a challenge! I would like to use the Flybe livery & was wondering if Josh could throw any light on Flybe callsigns, do they have a generic prefix such as BA with Speedbird etc For those not familiar with PilotEdge it is often described as Vatsim with brass knobs ie all positions in the Socal area manned so no gaps in the radio coverage & very professional.

Thanks Eric that gives me something that I can work with. I'll refer to it as "Eric's SOP" :lol:

Cheers, not watched last flight yet, will watch tomorrow.

Really stuck on VNAV, tried every way but which & can't get anything to work. eg Trying to set up a descent from VNY to FIM ie one vor to another. Need an idiots guide that this idiot can understand. Any help appreciated.
