adrians69 159 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi everyone, I thought I would share a pic from my first familiarization flight in the bargain Dash-8 I picked up whilst at the show at Cosford. Enjoy! Adrian Link to post Share on other sites

hifly 925 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Great shot of a fantastic sim Adrian. Enjoy the learning curve. Link to post Share on other sites
adrians69 159 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thanks guys, I always find it easier to try the tutorial flight first to get a feel for the aircraft and then read up on the nitty gritty about systems etc. The aircraft felt totally unique to fly though as I believe Majestic took the flight modelling away from FSX entirely. Neat idea. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Very nice, Adrian. Those textures look very crisp and sharp Link to post Share on other sites

phil white 274 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looks great Adrian, does this work with p3d v2 as I fancy it myself. Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looks great Adrian, does this work with p3d v2 as I fancy it myself. It says so on the box Phil and it got a well deserved 10/10 in a review here at the Hangar. Treat yourself to a plane that really raises the bar in modelling and fidelity. A Beaut.

adrians69 159 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys, great isn't she? Majestic have done a first class job with this aircraft in both looks and performance. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites

Timothy Brooks 9 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 This aircraft has a strange beauty to it. Great shot! Link to post Share on other sites
adrians69 159 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi Adrian, how are you doing mate, got the dash myself now. Hi Phil, glad to hear you got one also. The FMC is a bit weird compared to Boeing/Airbus and has some unusual features, but you get it with practice. I've just got the A2A C182 today so looking forward to giving that a shot when I get chance. Screenies will be forthcoming!! Are you going to post any of your Dash 8?

adrians69 159 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 This aircraft has a strange beauty to it. Great shot! Thanks Tim, it is a great aircraft once you learn it, which takes some time. I'm still not 100% with it now! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 This aircraft has a strange beauty to it. Great shot! Thanks Tim, it is a great aircraft once you learn it, which takes some time. I'm still not 100% with it now! If I was judging beauty I would pick the cockpit and the overall modeling vs. the actual look of the aircraft. I did read all of the manuals plus some extra stuff I found on the web but I really got a solid understanding of the aircraft and general pilot procedures from the Airline2Sim videos, it really put everything into perspective for me. I did pretty good but for some reason I kept forgetting to turn the bleed air back to max after takeoff, which really angers the passengers btw , I now have made an serious effort to always follow the checklists, something that I always left to memory. Let's just say my piloting skills are ever evolving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
