I have accidentally done the same thing before, in the past ... accidentally moving one or both of the levers back too far to feather or off, and then quickly forward again to correct it, only to discover the engine(s) went to MTOP and stayed there,…

I am not responding in any official capacity (I don't work for Majestic) ... But, yes, you can update the Dash 8 to 1.021 on P3D v4.5.14.34698. I am currently running P3D v4.5.14.34698 and version 1.021 works fine. I did not uninstall 1.020 f…

. -= SOLVED =- @kroswynd OK, I think you can ignore my previous post above. It seems that I was a complete idiot and should have known better. I was using the stopwatch and doing timing shortly after takeoff. Whilst the aircraft had indeed t…

@kroswynd I am running the MJC400 PRO Edition in P3D v4.5 with HF3 on Windows 10 with the 2004 update. With the Queue Timer, I see the slow down that is being reported here. About half normal speed. The ND shows the time remaining, in minutes, …

Love it! Great work. Downloading now. 👍

Ahh. Oops. Yep, it seems pretty obvious now. Next time, check the official announcement. Hehe.

Yes, I too am still running P3D v4.5 with HF3. So I would be interested in an answer to this question also. That said, I note the User Area for me shows this: . MJC8Q400_PRO64 1.020a version integral patch. This patch adds a number …

I am not a real-world pilot, but I found the following ... See this document here: smartcockpit.com/docs/Q400-Power_Plant.pdf Page 10 says, "When the MTOP discrete is activated by the pilot, the Maximum Take-off (MTOP) Rating is selected by th…

@X24 said: This feature is not for actually holding, it is to remember the coordinates when you push the LSK. I used to use it a lot when flying in WA to mark the exact threshold of a runway out in the bush. I'd push the LSK as we were crossing t…

I did my very first Airac update just the other day. I had never done one before, for any aircraft. I have the Dash 8 Pro Edition for P3Dv4, patched to 1.020b. All I did was go to Navigraph's web page, downloaded the Data Manager program, pur…

Of course, you are correct. I saw that placard and didn't bother to actually flick any battery switches and power up the aircraft to check the instrumentation. I just went straight in to CPAN again, changed it back from LBS to KGs, and gave it no …
-
UPDATE: @kroswynd It would appear that I may be wasting your time. Further testing has revealed to me that the repaint I am using has a file called "vcpanels.bmp", and, you guessed it, that placard is actually included on the panel as part of…

@Kroswynd, I opened mjc84.ini file in Notepad (on my machine, the ini file is in the "C:\Games\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\mjc8q400\ini" folder). I set the FUEL_KG_UNITS parameter from 1 to 0. I saved the file and then loaded the sim. The …

@Kroswind … To add some weight to real's post ... I have P3D. I do not have FSX installed. FSX has never been installed on this PC (it is a new PC). I have the P3D version of the Dash 8 Pro installed. If I choose LBS in CPAN, and then relo…
-
To clarify … If you have FSX installed, and the Dash 8 FSX version installed in that … then you will have an FSX version of CPAN for the FSX version of the Dash 8. If you have P3D installed, and the Dash 8 P3D version installed in that … then …

I will weigh in here … After installing the patch, I too had a "similar" issue to that which is described in this thread. In my case, upon loading the aircraft, the left MFD was blank, and the left FMC was blank. All other displays were on and …
-
Of course if you do not want to use any third-party services such as GSX, UGCX or the Dash 8's own implemented push back options, then the simulator's standard "Shift+P" key combination works fine. Press "Shift+P" once to initiate the pushback, the…

Yes, AVSIM is correct … https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxacrp&DLID=196202

The screen is blank (you supposedly get no response) because your browser is only showing the secure content (ie, it's just the showing the heading graphic). It is doing this because it thinks the page is being sent over an insecure connection. The…

Glad you've got it sorted dom66. ☺ @kroswynd said: Nose wheel steering is not a condition that would cause the take off warning horn.. The conditions listed in my previous post are conditions that can have an adverse impact on the take…

@dom66 said: nosewheel steering off, The "MJC8 Q400 NORMAL CHECKLIST" says, in the "AFTER START – F/O" section: NOSE STEERING ... ON Could that be your issue?

I used to fly the F16 a lot (Falcon4) and set myself up with a HOTAS system made up of 'CH Products' products. These days I only fly civilian sims. I can confirm that a HOTAS system does work perfectly well for the civilian sims. The throttle in su…

For the benefit of the original poster, "disco" is short for 'route discontinuity' ... synonymous with "No Link".
-
JvanE is correct ... airlines usually don't want pilots to hand fly their planes. So you'd most likely be deleting the "No Link"s out of your flight plan or using the autopilot's heading mode.
-
Congratulations on your first flight! The "No Link" message is an indication that the flight plan has a "break" in it. Usually, each waypoint is linked up, from nav point to nav point and you see the continuous magenta line on the display. Howev…

Another obvious one, but it should probably be asked … … are the props perhaps feathered?

You're welcome. Hopefully others will respond too and provide their own feedback/opinions.

Hi hhatch, I previously flew the Pilot Edition, before upgrading to the Pro Edition when it was released. Personally, I'd actually recommend you consider getting the Pro Edition over the Pilot Edition purely for the fact that the Pro Edition has …
