  1. You are most certainly welcomed to your opinion(s) as it "can" lead to constructive debate which is good as it lends to ideas based on what the community would like to see/have. You may not like MJC's approach in how the development of the Q400 is being conducted, but that is the way the business model shall remain unless there is a need for something else to be done. Cheers

    I watch YT using the Brave Browser which for now eliminates ads.
  3. Yes XP-12 i shaping up rather nicely. Nice set.
  4. Nice set, and this region certainly seems to have some good detail
  5. X-Plane is certainly showing that it is capable of being a great all rounder - Steady stays the course. Great set. Which ortho tool are you using, if I may ask?
  6. I saw the thread but it was pointless for me/us to engage in the discussion since everyone was posting there thoughts regarding MJC's future. If another developer grabs the harness and develops a Dash 8 well we have no control over that. Work on our end continues regardless and we'll be sure to inform the community when the project gets closer to maturity. Cheers
  7. I stand corrected - False alarm on my behalf as I clicked on the image to read the details and saw the BUY and DOWNLOAD option failing to realize that it was for MSFS 2020. My apologies for getting false info guys
  8. Looks like it is available now.
  9. Nice set.....especially taking it back a few years.
  10. Well done series. Cheers
  11. Thanks - need to spend some more time with the SIM. FS2020 & 2024 certainly have some stunning visuals at times
  12. It has been a while since I put something on canvas, so let's see if I can bring one of my fav liveries back to life. Cheers
  13. There are times that you have to make a double check to ensure that the image actually came from the simulation...Awesome set
  14. Will have to give this a try. I have used HDR10 from time-to-time within the SIM and it works well. The downside I have found is that taking screen shots can be a challenge as the images come out over-exposed and I have not found a capture tool that is capable of handling HDR10 very well except for the screen capture for XBox. Not too keen on that method as it grabs two images and from my previews one is over-exposed and the other at times seems under-exposed which requires an editor to make some adjustments. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Ah ok...yeah that is certainly an odd one. But I will agree, for the price point, it is a good piece of kit
  16. Hi Rich, long time no talk. Out of curiosity, in the SimPro App there is a slider to control the backlighting, did you by chance see this and or attempt to use it to brighten the unit.
  17. The TCAS very likely on the CRJ will not provide a TA/RA below 1000' (not sure if that is the actual altitude for the CRJ)
  18. You may want to check his Discord channel, if they were to exist I assume that is where he would post for his followers
  19. The TRAINING and COCKPIT editions are the ONLY editions that include the Visual Enhancement Package. Unfortunately vendors provide a description for the products on their sites based on an overall description provided by the developer. On the Aerosoft page they have the Visual Enhancement as a recommendation linked below the description (You are correct in that it could be made more lucid to the customer). The PRO edition was released back in 2014 and there have been several significant updates many of which new wrappers were sent to the vendors. The updates per the released wrapper to the vendors however are housed in the USER AREA. If the USER AREA is not working for you, kindly contact our Support for the required update. The issue of not being able to contact the USER AREA has been reported and is being investigated as not all users are affected by not being able to access the USER AREA. Looking at Aerosoft's page VISUAL EXTENSION PACKAGE: Description Product information "Majestic Software - Visual Extension Package for MJC8 Q4000 PILOT & PRO Editions P3D" Visual extension package advances Majestic Software's Dash 8 Q400 add-ons simulation experience by providing a number of immersive features, including: Improved realism due to usage of PBR materials for the exterior model and the virtual cockpit Improved visual model smoothness Textures adjustments for better detailing of the airframe elements More realistic modelling of the passenger cabin with seatbelts/no smoking indicators simulated Visible wheel chocks, pitot tube and the engine intake covers while parked Visible wing supports in a case of damage wheel/landing gear assembly Improved resolution of the exterior markings Several improvements of the virtual cockpit markings resolution Improved virtual cockpit night lighting Added simulated reflections on the cockpit controls and switches for the better night visibility Improved landing/approach/taxi lights Integrated True Glass library from TFDi for the realistic precipitation effects on windshield Includes bonus Fly Baboo livery System requirements Lockheed Martin Prepar3D V4.x or V5.x Majestic Software - Dash 8 Q400 PRO or PILOT Edition for P3D V4/V5 (latest version) Product information "Majestic Software - MJC8-Q400 Training Edition" The Majestic Software - MJC8-Q400 Training Edition is intended for experienced flight simmers who require in-depth simulation of the Q400 aircraft. The Training Edition includes all of the functionality of the MJC8-Q400 PRO edition, plus the following features: FLIGHT CONTROLS DISCONNECT SIMULATION The flight controls can be disconnected and the respective independent flight controls system will account for the pilot flying position (based upon the pilot head position in the Virtual Cockpit, or the type of the main panel in the 2D cockpit). The disconnect option is designed to operate correctly in both virtual or hardware based cockpits FMS RAIM SIMULATION FMS provides the RAIM prediction, and simulates the changing GPS accuracy accordingly CUSTOM FLIGHT DATA RECORDER The Flight Data Recorder (2D panel) which can be used to record and visually reproduce a flight, such allowing for the classroom demonstration or analysis of the particular situations in the aircraft operation WING TYPE FLIGHT DIRECTOR An option for the wing type (flying wing) flight director SURFACE SLOPES SUPPORT The surface normals (surface angle) of the Prepar3D are integrated into the Q400 FDE, allowing for the correct visuals and physics when operating on addon runways with a slope TRUE GLASS PRECIPITATION LIBRARY INTEGRATION (optional) The TFDi Design TrueGlass (optional) provides the precipitation visuals on cockpit windows FLIGHT CONTROLS, LANDING GEAR AND POWERPLANT FAILURES The System Panel application includes the system pages which can be used to monitor and trigger the failures in the flight controls, landing gear and power plant systems.
