Hi everyone. About 6 months back I wrote a lengthy post on this thread stating that I had the manufacturing ability and knowhow to build highly accurate and detailed custom aircraft panels but I lacked the coding ability to make them work with advanced payware (like the MJC Q400). A few of you answered the call and six months later I am happy to report that we have completed a phase 1 prototype of the MJC Q400 Overhead panel. Aside from the highly detailed and accurate panels, every light, button, switch, and gauge works exactly as it does in the sim. This work has been so successful, my partner Randy and I are ready to take it to the next level and we are looking for some other individuals to join our team. Our ultimate goal is to make full size cockpits of the Q400 (Dash 8). I am a mechanical engineer and Randy is a highly skilled coder. Our immediate needs are to find someone who can take our circuitry from breadboards and wires to PCBs. If you have such a skill and are interested in joining our project please get in touch. Here is a sample of what that would look like for one of the panels. Additionally, there may be other people out there that can help us. Naturally, all members of the team will be able to receive aircraft panels including an overhead panel, forward panel, glare shield, FMS, Center console, and throttle quadrant. If you have skills that you think will be valuable to us please get in touch. Needed skills include but are not limited to: Project Management – (experience taking projects from prototype to market ready) Marketing (including web design and social media management) Legal The MJC Q400 payware aircraft is the ideal airplane for this project because the developers have put huge amounts of detail in the airplane. Every light, switch, and system have variables that can be accessed via coding hardware. Our goal is to eliminate the use of the mouse and keyboard during flight simulation while keeping all of the functionality of the airplane. That means that there are no switches, buttons or systems that don’t work in the sim. TLDR We need someone with PCB skills to join our team. If that’s you and you would like to be part of this project get in touch. Fly Safe Everyone, Eli There is some more information about our project at www.theq400project.com

I make high quality custom panels using a laser cutter. Look up/ google the warthog project. That is not me but I make panels the same way. It has taken many many years of practice and tools. (Like a 2500 laser cutter). Once you have equipment like this you can make panels for real cheap. I am willing to make some high quality custom panels and send them to anyone who can help me with some advanced programming. In particular I am flying the MJC Q400. - If you have experience programming for this plane please contact me. If you can teach me or code for me I can make custom panels for you. Aside from the typical bolean values that get programmed via the joystick connector (i can do those) I am looking for someone that can link hardware to variables (in the variables list) via the XML and UDP connectors.

Problem solved. I loaded up a different flight with different controller settings and it worked. must have been a settings thing.

I am having a similar issue. Everything was working fine. No big changes but all of a sudden the ailerons are not responsive in the q400. My ailerons and all other controls work fine in all other airplanes just not q400. The movement is captured by the mjc control panel. In the sim the yoke moves with my movements but not for the ailerons. I checked and none of my other controllers are mapped to the ailerons axis except for my Saitek pro flight yoke.
