The installer checks your order number and email address against a database to check whether you’re a legitimate customer. It does need an internet connection though.
Installation was easy and trouble free for me. At the time of my review, this was version 1.018c, a 50MB download. I would advise anyone to also check the Majestic Software website for the latest patches. For version 1.018 this comes in at 509MB. Note that as of v1.018c, P3Dv3 is also natively supported.Īfter purchase, you get access to the download. The “Select a Flight Simulator” page of the installer (v1.018).
I really don’t care for paying (sometimes a lot) extra just to use the exact same software in a slightly different simulator platform. Majestic chose the customer friendly option here. One purchase goes with all sims, which I really like. The Q400 works in FSX SP2 or Acceleration, FSX Steam Edition, Prepar3D v2.5 or Prepar3D v3. Customers of the Q400 Pilot Edition can upgrade for just the price difference between versions, a very nice gesture by Majestic Software.Īs for system requirements, any PC that is capable of running FSX or P3D should do according to Majestic. They are identical, but both exist due to EU tax laws. There’s an EU version, and an international version. For Simmarket customers, take careful note of the version you buy. The price for the Pro version is €74,95 (give or take a bit due to tax rates or exchange rates). But I opted to wait for the Pro version before I tackled it.Īs an extended version to an already very high-end product, it shouldn’t surprise any that the Q400 Pro version is quite expensive.
The Majestic Software Dash 8 Q400 Pilot’s Edition was met with rave reviews when it was released amid high anticipation by the community. For an overview of the differentiation features, I’ll refer to the table on the Majestic Software website or product pages. Visuals (both interior and exterior), flight dynamics, sounds and many of the systems are almost identical between versions. It was announced long before release that the Majestic Software Dash 8 Q400 would eventually be available in 3 versions: Pilot, Pro and Training, with increasing features, complexity, but also price over the versions. Often called ‘jet like’, the Q400’s speed allows it to more effectively compete with regional jets on short-haul routes. The Q400, the ‘Q’ standing for ‘Quiet’, differentiates itself from its competitors by its high performance. Introduced in 1999, it is the latest and largest in a family started by De Havilland Canada 1983. The Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 is a 78-passenger, twin turboprop airliner. In this review, I’ll be taking a look at the entire product, not just the features that differentiate the Pro Edition from the Pilot’s Edition. In November 2015, Majestic Software released their Dash 8 Q400 Pro Edition, an extension to their highly acclaimed Q400 Pilot’s Edition.
