Q400 Documentation
Sounds good thanks Ben, I'll probably be getting those courses too so that would be great. I do use your hard copy checklist and I haven't found any better, there is no better Cheers

OPTIMIZE_DENSE_CLOUDS=1
Interesting and you've got a pretty powerful system too. For me it hasn't made much difference but maybe I need to push into heavier clouds and test again..
-
OPTIMIZE_DENSE_CLOUDS=1
This tweak kind of got lost inside the massive OPTIMIZE_PARTS thread. But I'd like to try this on its own especially as most of my performance issues are when flying into heavy cloud from ASN. What results are people getting with this during dense cloud flights?

Q400 Documentation
Hi, One thing the Q400 from Majestic is lacking is quality documentation. I loved going through the videos and finding where I am wrong and correcting myself, but it's hard as a reference source to refer to in flight etc after the fact. Unfortunately Majestic didn't get real aircraft manuals to publish the way PMDG have done, I'm not sure if it's due to licensing or what the reason is. They have published a manual on Systems which is the equivalent of FCOM volume 2. But we don't have documentation on full expanded normal procedures and flows, or QRH equivalent, or FCTM equivalent for flight patterns etc. Would Airline2Sim consider producing a product such as Q400 simulation documentation? It could fit in well with Aurasim EFB as an additional tab on the EFB with online documentation. AngleOfAttack 737 training did this as downloadable PDFs (but part of a more expensive training package), and their flow documentation is excellent, including colour flight deck diagrams, with arrow paths of the flows and descriptions. The alternative is for us to buy real aircraft documentation, however that is made for multipilot operations and not ideal for us simmers.. Thanks

OPTIMIZE_PARTS=1
Works great on my gaming laptop, huge jump with the 777. Glad it works best on the most hardcore complex models since they need it the most. Haven't tested for blurred yet but there is no reason this should cause them from optimising the model. If anything blurring would only be caused by higher frame rate or incorrect fibre frame fraction tweak that doesn't match your new.performance.

Qantas retires first (and last) Boeing 747-438ER Longreach
After retirements are done throughout 2015 I heard there should still remain 9 reconfigured 747s in the Qantas fleet but not sure how long. Anyone know if Qantas plans to keep the 9 reconfigured 747s indefinitely or are there medium term plans to retire those 9 as well?

Adjusting Course with VRInsight MCP
Great, thanks Scott! Sorry I was a bit careless making my post in the root forum

Adjusting Course with VRInsight MCP
Hi All, I just got the VRInsight MCP II and it's going well with programming via LINDA. However I was wondering what you guys do to adjust the course for ILS/VOR etc? The NGX has a course control on it's MCP, but the VRInsight does not. What way do you guys do it? Thanks

QANTAS 747-400 Last Flight
We were down runway 26, unfortunately the approach was so low we never saw it until it was on the ground! Was a bit disappointed the internet cut out just before takeoff I was listening to liveatc app and missed the departure. I guess social media was using all the Telstra bandwidth.. Glad all went well, look forward to seeing it when it's open. HARS are having an airshow on the 2nd May will be good to see.

Thanks for the US Navy P-8a Poseidon. :)
Australia will get our first of 8 aircraft in 2-3 years time. Maybe someone can do the RAAF repaint??

PMDG 737 NGX Released for P3D
Wanted to be first hey I like what the site says "When it is finished. (And not one moment before! Which makes sense when you stop to think about it...)"

Finally, the PMDG DC-6...
I can't believe the top Facebook comment on that DC6 link is to ask for an Airbus!

Prepar3D v2 Hotfix (2.5.12944.0) Released
Great thanks!

Prepar3D v2 Hotfix (2.5.12944.0) Released
Thanks. What about the old 1.17 prepar3d version does it work? I could never get 1.18 working on any version so I stuck with the 1.17 update plus the prepar3d beta of 1.17 exe file copied over. Maybe that will still work?

Traffic Addon for P3D
I use WOAI for international and FTX (ORBX) for Australia new Zealand. They work well together. I hear MyTraffic 6 for Prepar3d is being developed but like most addons no one knows how long it will be

P3D 2.5 CTD - MCE.dll
I'm having similar problems with 2.5. I can't load the MCE dll anymore it crashes on start. With other addons about 1 in 4 loads will crash. Once it's running is ok. I think they changed the way dll linking works or the compiler libraries, and windows 8.1 doesn't like it. I have to do some more testing to isolate the addons and maybe try one of the P3D hotfixes, but in general 2.5 has been a step backwards for me. I get slightly more VAS but an addon I can't use and instability with other addons at start up :(

Turbine Duke v2 P3D out
Remember it's the B60 - not the Turbine! Performance will be way different, but you can edit it. Right save as then put it in your aircraft types folder. Then create an aircraft registration from it, then you need to adjust the performance. I'm not sure how much performance information there is out there on the net for the Turbine.. you might need trial and error.

Turbine Duke v2 P3D out
Only for the B60. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/2428-aircraft-template-beech-b60-duke/
