  • Thank you. That's very likely since I tend to be slow doing my checklist and probably exceeded the time between when I did my deice and leaving the ground. I now know that I need to recheck prior to my taxi out.
  • Anything like this available, perhaps as a standalone for FSX users? I realized that there probably aren't many of us, but it seems that this information would be useful. Thanks..
  • Thanks freddy.. Will give it a read. I think that I am now of the same mind as you. Gonna find out soon as I'm doing a route this morning.
  • Some more digging and it appears that ACT APPROACH removes all of the waypoints between the current position and Final Approach Fix or Final Approach Intercept Fix. Maybe the 360s are the Q400's way of dealing with having lost waypoints. I'm still …
  • Q400; FMC; DATA ; Deice Request. I'm not sure when it populated, but sometime after I released the GPU unit. Once the GPU is gone, I usually don't go back into that option, but just happened to. I tried to replicate it on the ground using Active…
  • Thanks for the reply. I did the deice on the ground and the intakes were open, but I don't recall the state of the boots. If there was a message on the MFD they would have been on, but can't say for certain. I searched the Internet, but nowhere c…

  • Thanks Reinhard. I'm probably obsessing over something that isn't all that important, but that's me.
  • I had a similar issue with trying to install 1.026 on 1.025b for FSX. Contacted support and they seem to think that the installer may not be correctly recognizing the patches. The CS person suggested that I delete, install 1.025, skip the patches a…
  • Okay, so default ATC is coming through headphones, while other aircraft sounds though speaker even though main and headphones playback set to same mapper. Active Sky ATIS feature still not playing. Interesting.
  • Got it.. Confusing 'V' with 'U'.. Unfortunately, still no sound from ATIS, but I can adjust the volume.
  • Thanks, I appreciate the help. Looks like the air intakes might have been the issue. Making an effort to completely go though the manual which is a challenge with focus issues.
  • Don't if you've solved this yet, but you should be able to swap out the file that's stored in the mj8q400\sound\music\default directory. I would keep it the same format. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems logical that's the way you would do it…
  • Answered through customer support email. Possible that the installation doesn't check for other then v1.025 so not seeing 1.025b and maybe 1.025a as valid installations. Recommendation was wait for fix in installer or uninstall and reinstall just 1…
