  • Thank you for the links. Very helpful. In similar cold / icing situation next time I'll try the engine intakes / heaters. Also for eng start ~:) Best regards, Ken
  • Got the Pro update installed and all is well now. Even got TCS and GA programmed to te CH Fighterstick. Need to figure out why "AP Disconnect" which is presently assigned to the CH Fighterstick button 2 (top red button) not only disconnects the …
  • My Bad on the images. I will try again with the correct order #. Thank you, Ken
  • Does the available "Patches and Updates" section of my Majestic account page look correct ? The only available download there states it's for "Boxed" version only and states it is version 1.020a. Both my "Pilot" and "Pro" Q400 purchases were d…
  • Many thanks, both for the clarification and the encouragement. I love the airplane lots, and hope Majestic will "tackle" other aircraft >> `bout anything's OK with me except a glider > I prefer powered AC ~:) Best regards, Ken Boardm…
  • I have read those instructions (more than once). Quote : "The PATCH/UPDATE will not be available from your accounts_ if_ the vendor from which you have purchased the aircraft." << What does this mean ? I think it's the …
  • Thank you again for the replies. Where can I find Ver 1.020b so that I can download it ? I bought my Q400 from "Just Flight " in 2015 (please see attachment). I am currently running Q400 version 1.020a and would like to install the latest fi…
  • Thank you for the quick replies. Two questions >> 1. What is easiest way to confirm my installed Q400 version ? 2. Does installation of the 1.020b update require un-installing my present Q400 before installing the update ? Or, will th…
  • It is very likely that I used the overhead 2D panel. Is that a problem ? I think I'm using the ( FSX Accel) Version 1.020a . What is easiest way to verify the version ? Thank you, Ken
  • Thank you for the fast reply and for the outstanding explanation. I've been mostly a Boeing pilot so as you must know, much of the Q400 stuff (especially FMC related) is puzzling, but it's new to me and fun learning. I have been taking a good se…
  • Hi Reinhard, After I watched the video I successfully created some custom waypoints in the FMC. Is there a trick to get them to appear on the Navigation Display ? They show properly in the FMC (FP) but not on the ND. Also I am not able to a…
  • Many thanks for the tutorial Reinhard. Ken
  • Thank you for he tip. I did check the window heat knob. Perhaps I was not patient enough, or misinterpreted the switches' position. We'll see what happens next time. Regards, Ken B.
  • Thank you again for the info and for taking the time to prepare such detailed explanations. Much appreciated. Best regards, Ken
  • AWESOME explanation !! Very much appreciated. I am saving it, and adding a hard copy to my MJC Q400 (manila) folder ~:) Seems like the more I learn about this plane, the questions arise. Would you happen to know if it's possible to set the …
  • Thank you for the _**excellent **_/ detailed "Sandwich" information. The images helped also. Is this flight planning detail (the "Sandwich") peculiar to the Q400 ? I've not noticed it in other AC (Boeings, Airbusses, etc) . How does it make th…
  • OMG(osh) , What a treasure trove !! Thanks again for the tips. Ken
  • So, it's the SITUation bag ~:) Thank you for the info. Ken
  • I have excel, but don't use it much and not sure how to access the other sheets. I'll try to figure it out ~:) Many thanks for the info, the tips and the recommendation. Best regards, Ken
  • Also, it will be necessary to update the Nav Data.
  • Downloaded fresh installation file from 'Just Flight", and Downloaded a fresh 125hz utility file. I reinstalled the package and all's well now. Guess I should have done that first ~:) Twould like to know what caused the issue, but only O…
  • Not on subject ~:(
  • Many thanks for the fast and informative replies. Best regards, Ken
  • K___RAP !! Too bad. But, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I understand now....... Ken
  • I have now tried both Ailerons and Mouse for tiller control with FSX running and the AC reloaded. Still no tiller steering. The tiller and differential throttles both move but not the nose wheels. What are the recommended sensitivity and null…
  • Thank you for the replies. Engines running. Hydraulics working. Tried numerous times with AC taxiing. As mentioned in my original post, The tiller function has been assigned to the Spoiler axis and "Applied" and AC reloaded (numerous times). …
