The Weather Radar can work with both FSX Real Weather and Weather Environment add-ons capable of setting the per-station weather. WEATHER RADAR - The Weather Radar is capable of interpolating weather returns, based on the actual FSX weather, using the FSX Weather Stations reports. The consequence of this is much more realistic aerodynamic behaviour of the aircraft, in particular realistic wind simulation, enhanced propeller physics including propeller discing and autorotation, effects of the propeller airstream on wing lift and icing effects on the propeller, wings and the flight surfaces. (Please note that the following features are also all included in the PILOT Edition)ĬUSTOM FLIGHT DYNAMICS ENGINE - This Dash 8 add-on is the only aircraft available which includes a built-in Flight Dynamics Engine which is completely independent from the default FSX FDE. (In the forthcoming TRAINING edition all the system failures can be freely triggered.)

In the PRO edition all the systems can be monitored, but only Electrical and Hydraulical failures can be triggered. 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.

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

In addition, the sound system supports a second sound device (including USB headsets) which can be used to separately output the headphone sounds.ĪUTOPILOT 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.įMS 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.ĢD 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. 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. The HGS system also accounts for the pilot's head position and view angle in a Virtual Cockpit.Ĥx 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. The HGS includes a system control panel and the Head-Up Display. HEAD UP GUIDANCE SYSTEM - The HGS allows for operation of the aircraft under weather minimums up to CAT IIIa. The scenarios can also be written by the user and include the scenario flow logic as well as the custom sound playback. The scenario can be random as well as triggered by the predefined conditions (engine failure on V1, for example). It is also possible to invite a third person to the cockpit as observer.ĬOMPLETELY CUSTOMISABLE FAILURE SYSTEM - This sophisticated scripting system can be used to set the scenarios for any failures in the aircraft. The Shared Cockpit synchronises two instances of the add-on over a home network or the internet. SHARED COCKPIT FEATURE - The Shared Cockpit is the way for two users to share the same cockpit over a network.
