Dash 8 Q400 Pro edition - now on sale

[TeaLeaf]

I know a few of us have the Dash 8, I think most of us had the PILOT Edition.   They have now launched the Pro edition for £59.99.

PILOT edition owners can upgrade to the Pro version for just £20.00.

Well worth it, the plane is awesome fun to fly and the cockpit and sounds are great.

FEATURES - PRO EDITION

SHARED COCKPIT FEATURE - The Shared Cockpit is the way for two users to share the same cockpit over a network. The Shared Cockpit synchronises two instances of the add-on over a home network or the internet. It is also possible to invite a third person to the cockpit as observer.

COMPLETELY CUSTOMISABLE FAILURE SYSTEM - This sophisticated scripting system can be used to set the scenarios for any failures in the aircraft. The scenario can be random as well as triggered by the predefined conditions (engine failure on V1, for example). The scenarios can also be written by the user and include the scenario flow logic as well as the custom sound playback.

HEAD UP GUIDANCE SYSTEM - The HGS allows for operation of the aircraft under weather minimums up to CAT IIIa. The HGS includes a system control panel and the Head-Up Display. The HGS system also accounts for the pilot's head position and view angle in a Virtual Cockpit.

4x SMOOTHER CONTROLS - Configurable direct link to the joystick axis, allowing for 125Hz frequency of controlling the Flight Dynamics (as opposed to the 30Hz frequency of FSX) as well as bypassing the extensive filtering of flight controls by FSX.

SOUND SYSTEM ADVANCED MODE - In the PRO edition of the Dash 8 the Sound System can, in addition to the 3D mode, be configured to reproduce particular sound groups via the dedicated speaker(s), such as enabling sophisticated home simulation set-ups. In addition, the sound system supports a second sound device (including USB headsets) which can be used to separately output the headphone sounds.

AUTOPILOT TCS MODE - Touch Control Steering mode allows the pilot to use the control column movements to command the autopilot mode parameters such as altitude, vertical speed and indicated airspeed adjustments, without having to disengage the autopilot.

FMS ETP/PNR FUNCTIONALITY - The Equal Time Point (ETP) and Point of No Return (PNR) calculations are advanced functions of Performance management (PERF), used during navigation in deserted areas (oceanic navigation, deserts etc.) in order to verify that the aircraft has sufficient fuel to proceed to the selected destination in normal and/or abnormal conditions.

2D PANELS - Full set of 2D panels, which can be used to fly the aircraft in the 'traditional' way, or build a multiscreen cockpit by moving the panels onto multiple monitors.

WORKING CIRCUIT BREAKERS SIMULATION - Simulation for all circuit breakers in the cockpit with the correct mapping between the circuit breakers and the electrical equipment. The circuit breakers pop-up on short circuit is also simulated.

ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION - In the case of main gear retraction/extension system failure, the gear can be manually extended by using the alternate gear extension mechanism, which includes a manual hydraulic pump and a nose gear release assembly

SYSTEM CONTROL APPLICATION - This external application can be used to monitor the status of the aircraft systems and apply the selected system failures over the network. In the PRO edition all the systems can be monitored, but only Electrical and Hydraulical failures can be triggered. (In the forthcoming TRAINING edition all the system failures can be freely triggered.)

Notice the Shared Cockpit feature?  We *have* to try that!

just a quick mess around flying to aerosoft gib x tonight..like the hud

[Sparko]

You played any more with this Sulks? Have you tried the shared cockpit yet?

[TeaLeaf]

I'm still itching to try it but haven't even had the time to load up a game this past week or so :sad:

[sulky_uk]

You played any more with this Sulks? Have you tried the shared cockpit yet?

not at the moment, need someone else to get it

[Sparko]

I now finally have this.

If anyone wants to give the shared cockpit functionality a crack give me a shout

[Sparko]

Sulky and myself tried the shared cockpit this evening and.................it works incredibly well.  Took us a while to get going but after resorting to actually reading the manual we had 100% success

[sulky_uk]

twas good fun..even when playing the non flying co pilot

[albert]

One of these? [emoji6]
