"Flight spoilers must be operative in the Ground mode" It means that the roll spoilers ground mode, must be in working order (not MEL'd) before attempting a steep approach. The spoilers are a part of the pre-flight checks, I do believe. From …

Check your airspeed, sounds like you are getting into a stall condition. In most airplanes it can take a few seconds for the engines to respond to an increase in power. As FraPre says, check the weather. cross winds and possible ice build-up, can c…

I found this in the Majestic docs - Performance Manual. "If a VREF (or Derived VREF) table is provided in the checklist, the VREF (or Derived VREF) for planned aircraft weight and ice protection level will be bugged using the solid bug and will b…

To change the engine volume levels, you have to edit the ini file. Found in the Q400 install folder; simobjects/Airplanes/mjc8q400/ini. Make a backup of the ini file before making any changes. Open the ini file in notepad. Scroll down to…

Hi Arthur, You should not include your purchase info in a public forum posting. It opens up, not only the software, but your account info to piracy. For support on purchase matters, it is best to contact Majestic software by emailing them a…

There should be a shortcut on your desktop called "EZCA 2 config tool". Simply running this tool, and selecting your sim version, should fix your issue.

"...I suspect we messaged on the wood burning plant at Williams Lake,..." The same guy, and you're welcome, Nigel. Craig

Congratulations, on 16 years for your Flight Simulator Club. It's nice to see the community supporting flight simming as a social activity for all ages. The article mentions your free version of CYVR. I remember it very well as I had used it for se…

" ... the crickets go off and the elevator trim shut off p/b illuminates, but the trims themselves don't move." The trim indicator not moving, is not something I have ever come across. Maybe Kroswynd, or Boss may have an idea as to what is causin…

"How do I know which number represents the stick I want to assign the A/P disconnect command to?" Open the Windows "devices and printers" dialog. Right click on your controller icon, and select "game controller settings." A new window will …

Am happy to hear that you have made some progress. For the steering issue I can only think of the nose wheel steering switch hasn't been set to ON. It is located on the pilot's side panel, just in front of the tiller. Cheers, and have fun.

" ... but the elevator trim isn't actually moving. Is that because I have to have the elevator axis controlled by the majestic.ini too?" I don't believe so. You may have a button assignment conflict. I will try to write up a more detailed descri…

Go to your Q400 installation folder (simobjects/airplanes/mjc8q400/ini), open the ini file in notepad. Scroll down to the section labeled "joystick interface assignments." There you should find the AP disconnect assignment already in place. It w…

"Is there some added automation available to the Q400 by activating the FMS "miss" option?" Usually pressing the TOGA button on the power levers will initiate the missed approach.

I seem to recall from the old forum, using the Z key to disconnect the Q400 autopilot created a conflict with the Q400 custom autopilot. It is recommended to assign a joystick button to the Q400's AP via the ini file, or use the AP disconnect button…

"... and any movement in the throttle shows an attempt to change, but the number in the INPUT box above settles back at 32768." 32768 seems a high value for the "Disc" setting of the power levers. The fact that the values keep reverting back may …

Radial9, are you using the TM Target software with your hotas controller? I do not have a Hotas joystick, so i can not check this myself. Is there anything in there (a setting/profile) which may be causing your throttles to revert back to the …

Off the top of my head, i would say that you have a controller conflict. Ie, an x-box control, or some other axis device that has been assigned to your flight controls. Or maybe a brake axis that needs to be set in reverse. Which version of P3D, …

The sim is supposed to pause. That is the only way for the information to get written to the Q400. As for the data not being retained, sounds like a windows "permissions" issue. Which sim are you using? How/where do you have it installed? (Ex: C:\p…

That's a good question. I do know, that Air Canada Jazz, Westjet Encore, and Horizon, all use jetways at Calgary Int'l. and Kelowna Int'l.. Maybe using a modified jetway for the type of aircraft? Most likely the handrail stays folded out of the way …

The fax version of the Q400 will not work, or even install, in to P3dv4. You will have to purchase the P3d v4 64 bit version of the Q. Whether to upgrade to the FSX Pro edition first, and then buy the 64 bit edition for Prepar3dv4, is really up…

2 Things to try; turn off crash detection, and adjust the mesh resolution (5m-10m.) setting in the sim.

While I have not encountered this issue before, solving your problem may require a process of elimination. The first step is to get P3d back to running properly. To do that; uninstall the Q400 using the Windows control panel- “programs and featur…

You can uninstall the Q400 via the Windows "programs & features" menu. Re: the control panel, will get re-installed as well. make certain to right click on the installer and select "run as administrator. You may want to temporarily disable your…

Finally had an opportunity to fly the Q400 in P3Dv4.3, along with the latest update for ezdok. Glad to say that everything is working as normal.
