Dash 8 Q400

[Jack Skieczius]

Congrats Jack and Joe.

I was a little shocked by the price, $50! Since it's your first and an unknown quantity, any chance of an early adopter discount?

fair enough Simon. Using the coupon code below will allow anyone using it 10 dollars USD off until April 30th.

I got it. Thanks. Beautiful bird by the way!

[Jack Skieczius]

After some additional feedback, I have decided to lower the price to 40.00 USD.

Code above no longer needs to be added.

I obviously made a mistake at asking to much and am truly sorry.

[Kesomir]

The first store page states $40.00 as price, but after clicking on the buy button the price is listed at $50.00 and the equivalent in other currencies. Code no longer works to drop price on that page to $40.00.

Just to let you know.

[woweezowee]

No need to be sorry. It's your first effort and we all wish you luck with it. Plane looks great, some weeks ago I flew with the real one. Thanks for the hard work, buying now!

[YYZatcboy]

Kesomir,

I just checked the store and it displays the right price for me. Sometimes you need to close out completely from the store to get the changes. It should be good now, but if you are still seeing the wrong price please let me know

Cheers

Joe

[Kesomir]

The right price now shows on the purchase confirmation page, but when I select paypal and click next the price jumps from $40 to $48 on paypal ...

Ah. When selecting credit card it's clear that this $8 is VAT

That could be clearer.

[YYZatcboy]

I'll see if we can try to get the tax info spelled out clearer at the order page. Thank you for the feedback.

ok guys, looks like a great plane. But here is one issue, and it is GIZMO related:

I have the Falco, C400 and Mu-2. I still had the old Gizmo plugin that came with those planes. That Dash would not work with that, so I replaced the old gizmo-plugin with the one that came with the Dash. Here's what I get with that:

Only short test tell me: The Dash is now working fine. The MU and Falco don't ask for activation. BUT! I won't buy another license to get rid of that splash screen. I already have donated to Ben for Gizmo and purchased said planes that come with Gizmo.

So. What do I have to do to to get rid of the splash screen and also ensure that not only my new Dash works fine with this Gizmo version, but also my current and future x-aviation planes?

[Ben Russell]

If you already donate I should've sent you a free discount code in your email some time ago.

Please review this thread, which talks about Gizmo Serial numbers extensively;

http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=1888.0

The intention is that you should only ever have to get -one- Gizmo serial to remove the nag for every Gizmo-enhanced product.

Now that you have one, you won't need another one.

Please review the other thread and post any further thoughts there.

If you'd like a refund please email me: br@x-plugins.com with the details of your "donating" email address so I can match them up.

Thanks.

[YYZatcboy]

Again, The donation to Gizmo goes to support the future development of that excellent plugin. I encourage everyone to donate to it. HOWEVER, it is not required to operate the Dash, simply close the prompt after the set time it stays open for and you will be good to go.

Again, I strongly encourage a donation to the Gizmo project, but it is NOT required.

no email from you, Ben. I send you a private message. thx

two flights into it: great plane!

[YYZatcboy]

Very glad to hear you say that . Out of curiosity, which flights have you taken her on? Myself I flew Zurich to Paris, and Toronto to Newark this morning.

[woweezowee]

two short trips in spain, one only beeing a circuit. join me live on the flight server . on my way to mecheria now

[whiskeyportal]

Stayed up WAY too late flying this amazing bird last night, thank you for making us an amazing bird. Worth every penny.  Now who do I talk to about a Horizon UofM paint

[UH-60 Blackhawk]

Atlanta Center is now open on the flightserver for anybody interested.  Put it in the .org shoutbox if you want to, I wouldn't mind more traffic.

[Nicola_M]

Fantastic plane Jack.  Really impressive for a first release.

[meshboy]

I just bought this aircraft and it looks great!

Ive got Gizmo working and the Airplane seems to be in takeoff config when loaded.

How can i load this aircraft into cold-and-dark state?

even if i shut down all the battery and generators the engines are still on and i can add thrust and move the plane ???

[FlorianR]

uncheck the box in the menu where it says "start each flight with engines running".

[Jack Skieczius]

In case there is any confusion, the real Q400 has many things left on after it is done flying that in most planes would not normally be the case. for instance the generators are left on as well as the bus tie.

Otherwise, FlorianR is correct, uncheck that box and you are good to go.

[MaidenFan]

I just took her around Oahu. I'm really starting to the love her the more I fly her.

[Jack Skieczius]

Thank you Perry, i am very happy that you are enjoying the Q400.

May i ask, what kind of frame rates are you getting.

I would ask this from everyone who has purchased, because this will help me to decide what to add in her next. like say the extra EFIS display modes that i had not created for the first release but could for future updates very easily.

my only reservation is frame rates.
