Electronic Flight Book addon for MJC8 Q400 PILOT/PRO/TRAINING (Prepar3D x64) aircraft
Fellow MJC Q400 Pilots
Please note that this is an update specifically for Prepar3D v4.x or later, only.
Announcing the release of Majestic Software's Electronic Flight Book Addon for Prepar3D v4.x or later.
The Electronic Flight Book (EFB) is an addon to the MJC8 Q400 aircraft that allows a pilot to calculate the performance data based on the actual or planned conditions. The EFB can run on the local network on any web browser, or inside the Virtual Cockpit as a 2D window.
Compatibility:
- All 64bit versions of the MJC8-Q400 for Prepar3D v4.x or later
Data sources, synchronization and SimBrief flight plans:
- The EFB collects as much data as possible for the performance calculations, only querying the pilot for the data that is not currently available.
The data for the performance calculations comes from the following sources:
- Current conditions at the aircraft location, such as QNH, winds, temperature, available fuel and weights
- FMS flight plan - for example the departure/arrival runway, FPL winds
- SimBrief operational flight plan (OFP)
The aircraft EFIS speed bugs can be synchronized with the takeoff and landing speeds calculated by the EFB
Shared cockpit support
- If the Shared Cockpit is active and the OFP import is done by the Master party, the fuel page on the Slave instance will also update with the OFP data.
- The fuel and weight data from OFP is also propagated to the aircraft state and to the Shared cockpit slave party.
Units supported:
- The units presented on the EFB page are synchronized with the metric/imperial units setting in the Control Panel of the Q400 addon
Note: This addon requires the MJC 8 Q400 version 1.026a (x64) or above to run. Please proceed to the SUPPORT page at http://majesticsoftware.com in order to download the 1.026a version patch for your Q400 addon.

Additional Information regarding MSFS 2020/2024:
Development on the Q400 is on going but we are still in the process of working to source a modeler to begin on the tasks that need to be done, which will be very time consuming. as progress on this becomes available we will share more information when we deem it necessary to do so.
The aircraft on the back end works very well with MSFS2020 although there will need to be some additional work for MSFS2024 as it is fairly new to us as it has new technologies that will certainly provide new opportunities for development.
Happy Flying!!
