Op System: Win 11
FS Version: P3D V5.4
Add-on: Majestic Q400 Training edition
AIRAC Update No: 2507 rev 1

At the RNP Rwy 25 approach via ERPER the altitude of runway 25 to reach is shown as 2600 ft in the procedure. In fact the altitude should be 9 ft. Therefore the approach is not working and you end at 2600 ft above the runway. 2600 ft is the missed approach point but not the runway.

Here is a screenshot, how the approach looks in the Q400:

I have asked in the Navigraph forum, if the data have a problem. Find the thread here:

https://forum.navigraph.com/t/enml-rnp-rwy-25-wrong-altitude/20345

Richard from Navigraph has checked the data and he found out, that waypoint ML631 is not showing up, although it's included in the data set.

@kroswynd : Could you please check, what's going wrong in that case?

Many thanks in advance

I just picked up an Arduino Mega 2560. Looking to get some help to pull some Q400 specific values into Mobiflight to turn some LED's on and off.

I've done the Mobiflight tutorial here: https://www.mobiflight.com/en/tutorials/led-parking-brake.html and got it to work.

I installed Reinhard's MyQ400 XML files, but not sure what to do next?

Would someone be willing to type up a tutorial on how to get something simple setup? For example, how to pull data from the Q400 -> FSUIPC -> Mobiflight on the status of the INBD ANTISKID annuciator.

@aua668 @fscenes hate to call you guys out, but it seems like you have it figured out.

Thank you!

I spend so much time trying to finesse the throttle in FSX that it's hard to enjoy the flying. Most of my approach and landing is spent with my head in the cockpit. I use a Saitek throttle quadrant, recently purchased new. I have calibrated it using the control panel, but no two calibrations give the same results.

A forward or backward movement of my throttle can have the same or opposite effect on TRQ and the visual cockpit throttle. It's impossible to get a one or two percent change. 4% seem to be the norm and even after setting it, it sometimes changes on it's own. Heaven forbid that the arrow on the speed tape will stop or stay where it's pointing.. I could go on and on, but if others are flying it without issues then I have failed to figure out what I'm doing differently.

Some of the above is a vent, but it's also a plea for a solutions to the problem. If the only solution is to purchase a more expensive throttle then I'll accept it and retire the Q400 to the boneyard. It's the only reason that I still fly FSX and post the occasional video to Twitch, so I would miss it, but I wouldn't miss the frustration.

Thank you.. everyone.

Doing an ILS approach; setup WPT, ALT, etc. in VNAV.

• Set and press ALT SEL. Around 50nm out I set the ILS RWY HDG using FORMAT.
• Press ARM and TUNE APPROACH. I'm not flying with ATC, so no Vectors, so I continue flying the approach.
• 10 miles out or so, I switch to HDG and set NAV source to ILS1 (I've tried leaving it on LNAV longer).
• Once I'm on final approach (I've tried earlier) I press ACT APPROACH.
• I then immediately begin a left turn off my HDG and do 360s until I manually terminate them.

I'm not sure what ACT APPROACH is supposed to do, but I flew an RNAV approach today without it and it went great. I may just abandon this activate approach mode thing, but would like to know what it is supposed to be doing for me.

Thanks..

Description : When loading ILS04, everything seems fine; when loading RNAV04, the MAPt altitude shows 4000ft, which is the next WPT's altitude. If next WPT have no altitude limit, this issue will not occur.

Assumption : Q400 mistakenly read the next WPT's altitude limit for MAPt, which will lead to a incorrect VNAV Path.

For example: Changelog v1.026 saids "Fixed the case where MAP is far ahead of runway, like RNP-Y-08 Innsbruck", but when loading this procedure into MJC, the MAPt "WI814" shows as "RW08", the runway mark shows, also the altitude limit is "1907".
Although the altitude can change in CDU, but CDU can not accept input less than 100, it read the input as FL (eg. 58 will read as FL058).

Suggestion : Change the logic for MAPt. Now the MJC using airport's elevation for MAPt's altitude, runway number for it's name.
It will be much better if it read the actual data (both name and altitude) in NavData, even if the MAPt is the runway.
Since the NavData have added TCH for APCH, it will keep us clear from aiming to the runway threshold for 0 feet AGL.

Does Majestic Dash works in P3D6?

still using FSX and Dash 8-400 with the latest Pro version,
a big Thank you of not forgetting us FSX users, what a great addon !
after all these years still enjoying every flight

Thank you developers!

since a few days I have the problem, that I can hardly reduce the speed of the Dash when approaching an airport. I did the approach according to the textbook as usual, but even with the landing gear down, and flaps 15, and app. 15% torque, the speed only goes back to VRef speed in slow motion. I have compared my multiple videos, and there, still 4 weeks ago, under same conditions, the speed went back much faster. Could these changes possibly be related to updates (here Windows 10)? I changed nothing else so far! Simuator P3D V3.

I use the Q400 for P3D 4.3 latest patch level. I wanted to use the system panel on a remote PC as described in the documentation. I copied the complete syspan folder to my remote PC, adopted the ini files for the IP addresses.

But when I start the sys panel on the remote PC (WIN 7), the window opens, but shows only a completel white rectangle. Mo graphics are shown. Nevertheless I can select the several click points in the white window and they are working as expected. Only the graphics and the splash screen is only showing as completely white rectangle.

On the simulator PC (WIN 10) it's working as expected. So there must be some graphics library installed together with the Q400, which is missing on my remote PC.

Therefore my question to the developers: which libraries must be installed, that SYSPAN shows the graphics.

I LOVED the Q400 in P3D. It was basically the main aircraft I flew. I also know that real life happens, as I've had enough real life happen to me lately lol. So I just want to say I hope everyone at the Majestic Dev team is well, and I look forward to flying the plan in MSFS, whenever that happens. There's too much hype and hate on the internet, so hopefully this bypasses that.

Stay Flying, Y'all.

I'm desperate.I've been flying in the P3dV3 for several years without any problems.

I hope someone can help me

Thanks
