Never said you are a novice, just suggested to avoid 125 Hz controls if you lacked the experience. I don't own the pro version so I can't advise further but there's plenty in the archived version of the forums. Probably something in the documentatio…

If you don't know about them, you're probably not using them ;-) By default FSX/P3D controls and the flight dynamics run at simulator framerate. However, the Majestic Q400 flight dynamics run in a NASA JSBSim derivative at 100 Hz and the Pro version…

Orville, are you using the 100 Hz controls? If so you will need to add lines to the ini file for all your yoke/joystick buttons. Guenther, you really can't fly this bird without elevator trim, otherwise you lose pitch/elevator authority especiall…

Do you mean PLAN view on the navigation display? Press the FORMAT button by the display controls, then as you go through the flight plan pages on the FMS the nav map will move with it. ckyliu - Proud supporter of http://www.ViaIntercity.com, 950+…

Yep, rudder trim. It's not such an issue at higher speeds, but at lower speed you've get a big yaw moment with every power change caused by both propellers spinning in the same direction. It takes some work to keep the slip/skid indicator centred! …

To stow the pins, click the bag at the back of the cockpit (behind the FO?) and the red tags will then appear hanging out of it. Alternatively you can use the FMS (it's with ground services like GPU and pushback). Either method, the engines must …

You will find if you tune to the nearest frequency possible on your radio, VATSIM will tune just fine. FSX and P3D engines do not support 8.33 KHz channel spacing anyway (just old school 25 KHz), so any radio in the sim displaying 3 decimal place…

I'm very doubtful system specs have anything to do with this as it doesn't seem to be a performance issue. This might sound a bit silly but, how are you trying to change nav source to ILS? And are you doing this from the FMS or twisting the knob in …

VNAV is not used much in the Q400 in reality. "alerter above vnav alt" is a standard notification that the autopilot settings will cause level off before the target altitude in the FMS (assuming you have ALT SEL selected) ckyliu - Proud supporter…

@hhatch said: I saw a note in the manual which said "The MJC8 addon must be loaded into the flight simulator for the data transfer to function. " I found the control panel app in the MJX plane folder in sim objects in a folder called cpan.…

This might sound a bit silly but have you also checked for blown tyres on the exterior model? ckyliu - Proud supporter of http://www.ViaIntercity.com, over 950+ J41 & Q400 flights and 200+ for A320

Perhaps I'm being stupid but how can you use a jetway with the Q400 when the door opens downwards with integral steps?

IIRC, you are permitted 5 activations per month by the server. If you exceed that limit, you'll have to ask Majestic to reset it or wait until it resets itself in 30 days. ckyliu - Proud supporter of http://www.ViaIntercity.com, over 950+ J41 &am…

From what I've read elsewhere, FlightSimStore hasn't been functioning properly since May when they were suppose to be moving to a new hosting/bandwidth provider. I don't know how much is still true now, but back at the start of July some develope…

Can't you assign your tiller wheel to the spoiler axis when you fly the Q400? I just use the aileron axis, not lucky enough to have money to spend on a dedicated tiller. I wonder if there is a way to assign a tiller axis using the 125 Hz controls?

I've checked out YYZ VOR and it seems the problem is as I suggested earlier; the AIRAC (FMS nav database) you are using is newer than the one the tutorial was based on, YYZ VOR no longer has any airways associated with it; the FMS isn't picking any …
-
Aren't you suppose to highlight YYZ then select list? You're picking airways outbound of the selected waypoint, not inbound, iirc. Also have you updated the AIRAC, that could cause available airways to change compared to old tutorials. ckyliu …

Ensure you are running the control panel with administrator rights; Right click on CPAN and click "Run as Admin". If you are already loaded in the Q400, you'll need to reload it to see the units change. ckyliu - Proud supporter of http://www.Vi…

SITU isn't an acronym, it's an abbreviation for Situation. I'm not familiar with the sandwich but the name would imply popping something in between two other entries. ckyliu - Proud supporter of www.ViaIntercity.com, over 950+ J41 & Q400 f…

Woo I'm back! Hopefully you can get the old posts ported across in to here, but if not it would be nice for them to left on the archive site as there's a lot of handy info there (note I cannot read the old posts at the moment, it's asking me to lo…
