Howdy,

Just got a mail in from Just Flight, the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Pilot and Pro edition has been updated. Pilot edition to v1.0119b, and Pro edition to v1.018e.

This and the iFly B747 v2 are my favorite planes for P3D.

The Airline2Sim Q400 Cadet trannig course which I also have is great I think it´s about 4hrs long.  Now that the first officer course is out I will be getting that too sometime.

You did just fine!

I never got this plane. It does look like an awesome AC though!

I wasn't big on the mid sized TPs & then the PMDG J41 I always had a hard time with so to be honest I avoided the Q400.

The approach to LEBB from the south is quite tricky as you have some moutains around the flight path and I wasen´t that well trainned at the time, I think I could do it better now that I have a bit more knowledge in flight, but still who know´s.  What I like the most of the Majestic Q400 is that you really have to know what your doing and need´s some hand flying, specially on approaches. You have to manage well your engine power.  That´s another reason why I like turbo prop´s, you have to be on top of them and keep a constant eye on what your doing.  The autopilot will follow you flight path but will not manage your engines, to me that´s the fun part.

The Majestic Q400 is a great add-on, I would dare to say it´s one of the best. Apart from being well modeled and faithful to the real thing, it uses it´s own external module for all it´s flight dynamics and systems that works outside of the sim.  In other words it only uses FSX/P3D´s externals (map, weather engine).  Sort like what DCS dose but the modules are within DCS all though exclusive to each.
