Yes, there is definitely a large bump in the cockpit view at landing / touchdown with the Dash 8 and EZDOK. Others have reported it too (for example, see this link): majesticsoftware.com/forums/discussion/747/big-camera-shake-upon-touchdown I…

It's just a pity that you had to go to all that work ... uninstalling and reinstalling ... to discover it was the video drivers. Still, without doing that work, you probably would have continued for ages ages looking fruitlessly at simulator settin…

I believe the ability to change the flight director is only available in the Training Edition. I don't have the Training Edition, but I saw this screen shot reference on a retailers web page. The option to change it apparently appears in the Contro…

Set the aircraft to Cold and Dark. In the cockpit, apply elecrical power to the aircraft (overhead panel ... "Stby Batt", "Aux Batt", "Main Batt" and "Master Batt" switches). Immediately look now at the standby HSI. The version number is shown on…

After updating to the latest version of the Q400 PRO, v1.024, I noticed that disconnecting the autopilot did not play the aural disconnect sound. So I asked the exact same question. I have provided a link to that thread below. The thread is long,…

If you are using the "Queue Timer" then go in to the MJC84 Control Panel, change to the "Multimedia Timer", and see if that helps. Refer to this thread for details: http://majesticsoftware.com/forums/discussion/784/dash8-slowed-down-in-time/p1

Oh. Well, hopefully the support team replies and gives you a heads up on how to get it then.

Try here: http://majesticsoftware.com/mjc8q400/support.html Click on "User Area" in the top menu. I bought my Dash 8 Pro Edition from PC Aviator (Australia) in April 2019, but got the latest v1.024 installer from the User Area mentioned abo…

You can download the paintkit (layered Adobe Photoshop format, all white, with a stitching tool) from the following link ... This is, however, not the Q400F (freighter) version. But, perhaps it is as simple as using that paintkit and removing th…

@Jax_in_BC said: ... I believe there may be plans to make it possible to set up dual controls whereby, whichever yoke you touch first, will become the primary controller. Not sure if/when this would be implemented. Another (better?) sugg…

This may have nothing to do with it, but I've read that the following has fixed sound issues for previous users of FSX (and P3D), so it may be something to try ... The Windows sounds settings include a tab on what Windows should do if it detects …

@Boss said: We've forgot to change it, the correct version can still be visible in the index.html 👍

@aua668 Yes, that's correct. Install v1.024 will show as 1.023B on the ISI. I got my v1.024 installer from Majestic's User Area and I am seeing the same thing. From memory, full install version 1.021 showed as 1.020B on the ISI. I am not s…

Yep, I do exactly as you do ... manually select NAV1+NAV2 (when ILS) and APPR on the AFCS panel, most of the time before the FAF. The aircraft will automatically arm or activate the approach for you as you near the destination, assuming you do every…

I don't know why it is not working for you, but here is a workaround ... First, make a backup of your ini file. Then, make another copy of the ini file on to the Windows desktop. Edit the file there and save it. Then copy it back in to the orig…

I have been reading this thread, but don't actually have any suggestion, solution or observation to offer as I am not generally in the habit of using this feature. Whether that is correct "pilotage" or not, in the Dash 8, I am not sure, but I still…

I have made an attempt at some scripting, and also at mapping the aural autopilot disconnect tone sound to pulling the fire button on my joystick to disengage the Q400 autopilot. I struggled a bit and had limited success. I'll spare the details her…

@aua668 Thanks! I am not all that unfamiliar with scripting or XML, although I am no expert. I will definitely look in to this. However, with my AFCS_FSX_SYNC parameter set at 0, my joystick's fire button does already toggle the autopilot ... so…

I do apologise for such longs posts. But a few people are/were helping and following along and I want(ed) to try to convey a full understanding of my thought processes, the steps, and the theories/conclusions.

As per aua686's question, I ran a test on the AFCS_FSX_SYNC parameter. I changed it from AFCS_FSX_SYNC=1 to AFCS_FSX_SYNC=0 As I guessed, the Q400 no longer responded to autopilot commands from FSX/P3D. In other words, the "Z" key and, in my …

@aua668 said: As I can't see your INI file one question: How is AFCS_FSX_SYNC set in your INI file? Oops. You asked about AFCS_FSX_SYNC. In my ini file, that is set as follows: AFCS_FSX_SYNC=1 It has always been set to "1" in …

Hmmm. A question. I have just noticed that if I click the AP button on the front panel, with my mouse, the autopilot disconnects, and no disconnect sound plays. The same thing happens if I press the fire button (button 1) on my joystick. A subsequen…

Yes, the file sharing page I used deletes the file when somebody downloads it. I have uploaded it again for you: https://file.io/y7wXhCIO8N6C I also re-added the line "J2_b0=AFCS_->inputs.AP_disengage" back in to the ini (and not commented…
