PACKAGE INSTALLATION: Extract ALL (Repeat.ALL.) the files into the.FSX MAIN. Folder using WINZIP. in Classic Mode.Do not use the Wizard.Make sure the 'Use Folder names' BOX is checked in WINZIP. DO NOT INSTALL TO SIMOBJECTS FOLDER, AIRPLANES FOLDER OR ANY OTHER FOLDER!
New folders will be created and all files automatically installed. Other unzip utilities may work as well, we have only tested WinZip. Vista/Win7 users may need to temporarily disable the UAC (User Account Control) to enable automatic creation of new folders. Here's how by the numbers. Navigate to where you downloaded the zip file.
Double click with your mouse on the zip file. WINZIP should open and show all the files inside the zip. Use keyboard shortcut 'CTRL-A' and this will select ALL the files. Click on upper 'Extract' Button in the Main Tool Bar above. Type in your path in the dialog box, the default location is C: program files microsoft games microsoft flight simulator X. Or Browse to your FSX Location.Open the FSX main folder.
Now Click on the 'Extract' button in the upper right.you're done.go flying. KNOWN ISSUE, VC GAUGE LIGHTING AT NIGHT. For some unknown reason the VC gauges sometimes remain dark at night.
We have not found the reason for this (yet) but there is a workaround: On the Vc panel, located just left of the battery switch, we have installed a panel light switch. Click on this switch once or twice and the VC gauges lights will be restored. OPERATING TIPS & KEYBOARD COMMANDS.Check list and reference list available from the cockpit kneeboard command.Essential reading. Manual repair toyota corona st engine 1s.

File Contents This list displays the first 500 files in the package. If the package has more, you will need to download it to view them. Editorial This awesome remake of the Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 is one of the most impressive out there in that it manages to follow the same upward curve of the real thing. As a hugely popular part of the Bombardier list of aircraft, this aircraft is well-loved by pilots and passengers alike.
By managing to find a way of making the flight comfortable and fast yet equally economic, this manages to be the best of both worlds in many ways. Now, with this package, you can easily take things to the next level and give yourself something a bit easier to use than ever before. With 75 seats, you’ll be flying with a significant amount of depth and detail in there as well as a lot of responsivity for getting those passengers from A to B!
The aircraft, though, has been created to capture the mood and style of the real thing almost perfectly. The detail in capturing the flight style and the dynamics has been widely praised across the board, making it an easy and effective solution for those who are desperate for a spot of realism to be included in there.
However, this also comes with a range of documentation that you can use to your benefit to help you understand the aircraft and its processes much more clearly than before. The interior itself has been deeply remodeled and changed to ensure that it manages to capture the feeling and the style of the real thing just right. It also comes with animated pilots and air stairs, to make sure the whole thing can really take inspiration from its real-life counterpart and look outstanding. This model can easily be operated by using the manual that is provided, as it gives you all of the various hotkeys and tips that you need to get down and understand if you want to take this as far as possible. The various controls will help you do things such as;.
Turn on the tool tips so that you can see more information and details about specific parts of the aircraft and the flight so far. Look at passenger doors and airstairs, which can be opened prior to and after flying. Close other doors, ensuring that views into passenger cabin can be made clearer. Deal with opening and closing of cargo doors. Raise your seat and have a more comfortable position in the cockpit!. Turn yokes on or off depending on what you prefer.
Get access to radio panel displays as well as PDF, MFD and EICAS Known Issues There is a known issue, though, with the way that virtual cockpit gauges work at night. Sometimes, the lighting will not turn on whatsoever and there seems to be no legitimate reason for this to occur. However, a simple workaround is to click the panel light switch to the left of the battery switch. Click on this a couple of times and panel switching should turn back on, giving you the light that you need!

Installation of Add-on Aircraft/Scenery Most of the freeware add-on aircraft and scenery packages in our file library come with easy installation instructions which you can read above in the file description.
For further installation help, please see our for our full range of tutorials or view the README file contained within the download. Jack Vic Vie Fri, 06 Jul 2018 21:06:46 GMT Everything is really nice, but where is the autothrottle for this thing? Dan Harvell Sat, 09 Sep 2017 17:49:30 GMT Looks and works great, except the VC controls look a bit flat, but that's just cosmetic. The real concerns are the ILS landing doesn't work well and the fuel truck can't seem to find the plane.
Also, should we be concerned about the security warnings when opening the plane in the simulator? Ray Sun, 30 Jul 2017 04:36:19 GMT Very simple install without using any WinZip or other program. Just move the dhc8-q400x file from the Simobj/airplanes folder to the FSX/Simobj/Airplanes folder and the contents of the sound folder to the FSX/sound folder and voila. Flies like a dream and everything works. Tyson Wed, 12 Apr 2017 03:32:18 GMT i Love it But i don't want WINZIP on my PC it's not that hard to make it user friendly. Harold Thu, 19 Jan 2017 21:27:06 GMT The cockpit controls need reworking.maybe layout needs some work too.
ShftKey 2 for Radio, ShftKey 3 for GPS etc Pop-ups inoperable. Time for major update? Nicholas Freeman Wed, 14 Dec 2016 02:48:48 GMT Hey I have downloaded it and I LOVE IT! It's a very good freeware AC. I was wondering if I could make a repaint of this for FSXCC.
You might have heard of it. It's a online landing competition hosted by KiloCharlie1.
I will give all original credits to you. Carlos edison dos santos Wed, 13 Jul 2016 22:15:13 GMT Where is located the speed marker (+ -) no panel? Mike Fri, 06 May 2016 20:34:05 GMT It's ok but for me, the gauges are almost unreadable, even in pop-up mode. I can read them on my 22' screen only in pop-up mode AND with a magnifying glass whilst leaning closer to the screen. Not the most comfy way to be sat whilst flying. I also have to press 'W' to get the cockpit out of the way for landing.
I am not overly impressed. Jeff Carpenter Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:06:58 GMT Would like to try this appealing download, but WinZip on my PC will not process the files as it deems them 'corrupt'. Any suggestions how to overcome this problem please? Paddy92 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:51:48 GMT hi, Like for the Dornier, it's a wonderfull job. But like the Dornier, unable to start the engines.
When I press the start button, the button and the light corresponding starts to flicker and engine does not start. Don't tell me, as someone did, to load another plane, start it and then load Dash8 from Premier Aircraft:-(. Looking forward for your answer.

. SHARED COCKPIT FEATURE. COMPLETELY CUSTOMISABLE FAILURE SYSTEM.
HEAD-UP GUIDANCE SYSTEM. 4x SMOOTHER CONTROLS. SOUND SYSTEM ADVANCED MODE. AUTOPILOT TCS MODE. FMS ETP/PNR FUNCTIONALITY. 2D PANELS.
WORKING CIRCUIT BREAKERS SIMULATION. ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION. SYSTEM CONTROL APPLICATION See the Detailed Description below for more information on these new features. This highly realistic and ground-breaking rendition of Bombardier's twin-engined turboprop regional airliner features a flight dynamics engine that operates independently from FSX, providing you with incredibly realistic performance and behaviour, as well as accurate icing effects. The systems and functionality in the virtual cockpit all closely match those of the real aircraft, making this the most immersive airliner to date! FEATURES - PRO EDITION SHARED COCKPIT FEATURE - The Shared Cockpit is the way for two users to share the same cockpit over a network.
The Shared Cockpit synchronises two instances of the add-on over a home network or the internet. It is also possible to invite a third person to the cockpit as observer. COMPLETELY CUSTOMISABLE FAILURE SYSTEM - This sophisticated scripting system can be used to set the scenarios for any failures in the aircraft. The scenario can be random as well as triggered by the predefined conditions (engine failure on V1, for example). The scenarios can also be written by the user and include the scenario flow logic as well as the custom sound playback. HEAD UP GUIDANCE SYSTEM - The HGS allows for operation of the aircraft under weather minimums up to CAT IIIa.
The HGS includes a system control panel and the Head-Up Display. The HGS system also accounts for the pilot's head position and view angle in a Virtual Cockpit. 4x SMOOTHER CONTROLS - Configurable direct link to the joystick axis, allowing for 125Hz frequency of controlling the Flight Dynamics (as opposed to the 30Hz frequency of FSX) as well as bypassing the extensive filtering of flight controls by FSX. SOUND SYSTEM ADVANCED MODE - In the PRO edition of the Dash 8 the Sound System can, in addition to the 3D mode, be configured to reproduce particular sound groups via the dedicated speaker(s), such as enabling sophisticated home simulation set-ups. In addition, the sound system supports a second sound device (including USB headsets) which can be used to separately output the headphone sounds. AUTOPILOT TCS MODE - Touch Control Steering mode allows the pilot to use the control column movements to command the autopilot mode parameters such as altitude, vertical speed and indicated airspeed adjustments, without having to disengage the autopilot.
FMS ETP/PNR FUNCTIONALITY - The Equal Time Point (ETP) and Point of No Return (PNR) calculations are advanced functions of Performance management (PERF), used during navigation in deserted areas (oceanic navigation, deserts etc.) in order to verify that the aircraft has sufficient fuel to proceed to the selected destination in normal and/or abnormal conditions. 2D PANELS - Full set of 2D panels, which can be used to fly the aircraft in the 'traditional' way, or build a multiscreen cockpit by moving the panels onto multiple monitors. WORKING CIRCUIT BREAKERS SIMULATION - Simulation for all circuit breakers in the cockpit with the correct mapping between the circuit breakers and the electrical equipment. The circuit breakers pop-up on short circuit is also simulated. ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION - In the case of main gear retraction/extension system failure, the gear can be manually extended by using the alternate gear extension mechanism, which includes a manual hydraulic pump and a nose gear release assembly SYSTEM CONTROL APPLICATION - This external application can be used to monitor the status of the aircraft systems and apply the selected system failures over the network. In the PRO edition all the systems can be monitored, but only Electrical and Hydraulical failures can be triggered. (In the forthcoming TRAINING edition all the system failures can be freely triggered.).
OTHER FEATURES (Please note that the following features are also all included in the ) CUSTOM FLIGHT DYNAMICS ENGINE - This Dash 8 add-on is the only aircraft available which includes a built-in Flight Dynamics Engine which is completely independent from the default FSX FDE. The consequence of this is much more realistic aerodynamic behaviour of the aircraft, in particular realistic wind simulation, enhanced propeller physics including propeller discing and autorotation, effects of the propeller airstream on wing lift and icing effects on the propeller, wings and the flight surfaces. WEATHER RADAR - The Weather Radar is capable of interpolating weather returns, based on the actual FSX weather, using the FSX Weather Stations reports. The Weather Radar can work with both FSX Real Weather and Weather Environment add-ons capable of setting the per-station weather. Beam geometry is also simulated in order to depict the weather based on aircraft altitude, antenna tilt and the altitude of the weather itself. There is ground clutter and weather shadow effects as well as a ground mapping mode simulation capable of showing the surrounding terrain. Weather clutter in ground mode is also simulated.
TCAS - The Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) simulates most of the ICAO defined CASII functions, and provides traffic indication as well as traffic and resolution advisories. The TCAS works with both AI traffic and virtual ATC network traffic (VATSIM/IVAO etc.) FMS NAVIGATION, FUEL MANAGEMENT AND BASIC PERFORMANCE - The dual Flight Management System included in the package is built after the Universal 1E FMS, and is developed with a high degree of detalization. The FMS system is capable of navigation in three dimensions (LNAV+VNAV), RNP based navigation, Fuel and Performance Management. The up-to-date navigation database, provided by Navigraph (subject to additional charges (see the website for details), can be used to obtain the latest procedures. There is also custom provision to control the availability of the ground services and the flow of the passenger announcements. USER DOCUMENTATION - Documentation includes a systems tutorial, sample flight guide, Control Panel application tutorial, and checklists and performance tables. The PRO edition also includes items pertaining to the abnormal operations (checklists and the system tutorial).
VIRTUAL COCKPIT AND EXTERNAL MODELS - Highly detailed external and cockpit models with HD textures and special effects. Hundreds of animations, all of them are custom and controlled by the aircraft systems. World's first realistic 3D propellers simulation featuring variable disc thickness. Smooth gradual lighting both in the 2D and the 3D cockpit. Complete custom lighting system with proper light splashes on the exterior model and ground.
All lights are functional in the cockpit. 'Intelligent' pilots with a sensed behaviour in different situations (exterior model).
Complete muli-stage icing visualisation. Windows mist/demist simulation. Little impact on frame rates, much smaller than comparable models ADDITIONAL LIVERIES AND PAINTKIT - Detailed layered paintkit in Photoshop format with a unique stitching tool. 20 high resolution liveries from around the world:. Air Baltic.
Air Berlin. Air Canada Express. Alaska Airlines (Horizon Air). ANA (blue). ANA (green). Austrian. Aurora.
Croatia. FlyBe. EuroLOT. Lufthansa Regional (Augsburg Airlines).
Luxair. Qantas Link. Porter. SAS Commuter. SATA.
Skywork. United Express (Colgan Air). Wideroe PASSENGER ANNOUNCEMENTS - In addition to the default announcements included with the aircraft, the scripting-based announcement system allows for building custom announcements both per livery or global. The announcement script can play the user-defined sound files based on the current condition of the aircraft systems and control states, thus allowing for highly customised and realistic announcement flows specific to particular airlines. FMS FPL WINDS - The FMS FPL winds functionality allows the FMS to account for the en route winds, thus increasing the fuel and time prediction accuracy.
SAVING AND LOADING SYSTEMS' STATE - When saving or loading the flight in the Flight Simulator, the systems will also store or retrieve their respective states CUSTOM SOUND SYSTEM - The Dash 8 includes its own Sound System, which is independant of the Microsoft Flight Simulator sound system. The sound system is Direct X based and uses custom DSP (Digital Signal Processing) effects to simulate the propeller sounds correctly. In addition, the system is 3D enabled for both the external and internal sounds, including switches and controls sounds as well as the voice announcements.
ADD-ON CONTROL PANEL APPLICATION - The Add-on Control Panel Application (CPAN) allows the user to visually modify the most important parameters of the aircraft, as well as verify and apply custom Weight and Balance configurations. 'A level of frame rate performance and systems fidelity that is second to none. The Majestic Dash 8 raises the bar with an exceptionally detailed regional aircraft offering incredible performance, thanks to custom modelling outside of FSX. Quite simply a tour de force! The finest propeller sounds I have ever heard in desktop simulation.
The aircraft handled like a dream at all weights and configurations. One of the most incredible aircraft I have ever had the pleasure to fly in FSX, offering the last word in realism for regional aircraft' PC Pilot (Platinum Award). System Requirements:.
