FSX/P3D. Today is the day everyone has been waiting for! Can I finally say that? The Majestic "Pilot Version" of the Q-400 is available for direct download. We will also have it in a few hours and will present you with our first look shortly from myself, Dom, and Mark. This is very exciting! Thanks to all of you who stuck around during the countdown!
Majestic new update on situation :
Dear customers,
we receive so many activation requests that our activation server cannot handle them all at a time. It crashes every N minutes, so Oleksiy is monitoring it realtime, restarting it the very moment it goes down. We had to stop Apache server to gain some more memory - so the forum is not available at this moment.
Don't worry - every one who bought the package will get the authorization. Just please a little bit of patience.

Nice post DRE !
AHH! But remember, one of us is in Europe! HA!
HA! I see wat u did there XD
Imagine there would be a few thousand dollars in quick sales for whoever packages and publishes first.
Should I get the pilot or the pro version?
Waiting with credit card in hand...
However, the best words I've ever seen in a blog post here in your "Seperate note:" comment!
Thank you for continuing to deliver the best FS News available, and with a nod to significant real world concerns.
+1 to the "separate note" comment!
Only the Pilot version will be available according to Majestic.
Hopefully my flight from YVR to YLW will leave as scheduled tomorrow morning. She's going to look great in Air Canada Express colors.
Hahaha ! I agree with you buddy ! Its gonna look sperb in the air canada colors! Im a student at MFC and seeing this dash flying in and out of moncton everyday is fantastic!
By the way .... D'Andre are u still up ???
Thanks Dan. We try to remain different and keep it real.
Heck yeah! Im not missing this release! Been waiting too long! Only had 1 beer so I dont drink and fly!
Best part about armchair aviating, no armchair police sniffin for booze! Some of my best FS flights have been co-piloted by first officer Molson!
I know the 737 FMC inside and out. Just hope I can pick up on the Dash-8 FMC quickly.
I'm going to be too sleepy to even try programming. Screw it, if I can get it started, i'm taking off!
If not, i'll just post screenshots LOL!
Starting to flake ^^
Drunken pre flight check list.
Beer-check
Button to make all the stuff work-on, I hope. There's alotta buttons here!
Flight plan- here, there, who cares as long as there's no turbulence to spill beer.
Engine start- um... who's got the keys?
Pushback- wheres reverse on this thing man?
Cleared for taxi-Taxi? Who called a taxi? I got this, Trust me! ..... now where's turn signal switch. "Hiccup"
Cleared for take off.- No! You take off! Why to talkin to me like that? "Sniff" I'm a little offended by you telling me to take off! "Sniff" zzzzzzzzzz..... tower?.... listen... its me again. I'm sorry about the whole take off thing. Hope we're cool, was a bit of a late one last night...! Lol!
Hey! I'm still here! I'm setting up a post on some exclusives we just got.
Reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons when all the pilots are drunk in the bar and a pilot is needed. So they grab Homer Simpson, put him in the left seat drunk, and unable to figure how to perform an engine start, he raised the gear handle the the gear folded and the plane hit the ground. Classic!
I THINK I PISSED MY PANTS! GREAT FS COMEDY AT ITS FINEST! LOOK HERE, FAA SPEAKING SOBER THE F-UP MR. PILOT DUDE..... IN 2HRS YOU GOT A 4 LEG CHECKRIDE TODAY :)
Drunken shutdown checklist.
Ok to clean up?. - holly sh.. did we really just do that?
Taxi in- AGAIN WITH THE TAXI!!!! I AM FINE DUDE.... DO WE NEED TO STEP OUT ON THE TARMAC??? I GOT THIS MAN....I CAN DRIVE A TOASTER THROUGH A CARWASH WITHOUT GETTING ZAPPED, I CAN DRIVE A PLANE THINGGIE TO THE LONG LOADER THINGAMAGIG! (HICCUP)
Shutdown checklist.-jeez, there's a damn cheklist for everything for christ sakes! Yss, shut this that and the otherthing off so we can hit the damn bar!!!
Aircraft "kinda" secured.
Hey, is that your aircraft rolling out into the street over there??
I told you MANNNNNNNNNN Parking brake Parking brake, like the thingy in your car. There goes my 401K!!!!
Ahhhhhhh! "Hiccup" that's what those silly wedge things are for! I was using them to hold open the cooler door.
Emergency evacuation checklist.- THE SLIDES ARE FUN MAN!!! HAVE AT EM'! That is all.
Secure aircraft checklist. - you lock the door dude? Umm... "hiccup" sure hope so Cap. There's still a 40 of Crown on the pedestal!
That actually happened at LAX about 13 years ago. AA maintenance towed a 767 to the hangar, forgot to set the parking break, forgot to chock the wheels...
15 min later it crashed through the perimeter fence, out into the street, and got stuck in some power lines.
Google it!
reminds me of another time when after an AA 757 finished boarding and jetbridge pulled away, the FA blew the slide. Guess she forgot how to do her job. Ill post pictures of that later.
Drunken flightplan closing checklist.- BBBBBLLLLLAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........BBBBLAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...BURPPPPPPP. OOHHHHH GOD!!!!!! .......BBBBBLLLLAAHHHHHHHHHHH.

Where will you purchase your copy?
From whoever releases first!
I will get mine from Just Flight because I am British and so are they. Only supporting the economy! lol
It says "09:00 GMT" on their facebook page. That would be 09:00 UTC time, so 1hour 15 to go from now?
check: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/current-time/
I prefer FSS personaly. I have done 90% of my purchases there. All with out a hitch. Ill probably hold off until they have it.
Damn you are right! I was on London time!! Okay im off to bed and Dom is taking over now!
Our first look to be published shortly!
What happened with the timing?
ITS OUT!
http://www.justflight.com/product/dash-8-q400-pilot-edition-fsx-download
You can buy now at Just Flight.
in 4 min i got her hahahahaha -after i say from where i got lol
It was at 0 minutes, then at 1 hour and now at 9 hours. Does anyone know what the real time is?
OMG they told me i was the first -i got her -just flight!!!
It's out. At least on JustFlight.
i GOT mine from just flight -take look on JF
From 30min to 10min now 6hrs and change??? Awwwww I'm gonna somersault off my balcony now.
Haha, loved your answers! =)
Your countdown timer is wrong...there shouldn't be any full hours left...it currently shows over 9 hours.
Am I the only one who is a bit disappointed by the lack of features in the pilot edition ? Is this what we've been waiting for for 2 freaking years ?
I'm going to hold out on purchasing this for now.
Same. No way I'm paying $100 NZD on the JustFlight website. That's even way more when I brought the PMDG NGX! :(
Downloading from JF! Yay!... 29 min ;)
Hahah flaked
By the way if you're interested in getting the pro/training edition later then Just Flight would be the place to go, because they'll give you a $12 discount (800 reward points) on future products. I just used my 300 points from my Tristar purchase and ended up saving ~$4.50
You can't be serious?....
JustFlight website not loading for anyone here or just me?
Guessing way too many traffic. lol
Waaaay too expensive will wait for local supplier.
^ NVM. Just brought it and Google Currency sucks. lol
I'm on Authorization page...
I'm on line.. and says cannot connect to the server !
Good start !
Same here.. Looks like they were not ready for the demand. JF are first to release but perhaps not the right choice :( will keep trying..
Nope! Still up!! Downloading!
A bit of confusion. Sorry about that.
And there is no support at JF on Saturday... Bust!
Yes ! but they are able to get the money with no problems al all !
Argh!...................
I flew her -she is sooo great -looks better then PMDG or Carenado and the system depth is better then the MJ300Q. Much Thanks out to MJ for this grat Job.
No Problems with Just Flight or Registration... Belive me JS Support are today in use... turn off your antivir or UC install as Admin with all rights
I just got it to install...be patient..you know it will be worth it.
to Airdayilx: you guys finalize successfully the installation process ?
Actually I think there is support available at JF, for today anyway. Give it a try if you have problems.
"be patient" doesn't work with me while sucking out the money out of my account is instant.
Yes is installing now ! forget the firewall in active mode !
I have a order number and all....but it's telling me no order found WTF!
Just Flight fix your F'ing servers.....Shhhhhhhhittttt!
i also had problems but tryeid some times and was lucky to get throu i hope you do as well..
Mark has successfully installed it.
Full report this afternoon.
In the meantime, i will stick to Simmarket since they are accustomed to handle heavy bandwith. The product should be out in a few minutes/hours.
I can't believe there isn't any support now on their website ??
Dom
ADX
If you have problems, feel free to continue to report your problems here.
When I try to install it just keeps saying "cannot connect to server". I guess they're overloaded. I'll try later!
Well, I just tried purchasing it but it said 'Technical Error, please try again later' so that what I did after an hour and it said that again. Just checked my e-mails and have been charged twice for the same product. Partly due to my stupidity but also to JustFlight!
I need / consider full 2D panels a must.
Thanks, but no. I will wait a few months for the Pro version.
Same!!
mine doesn't even work fsx keeps crashing
Just Flight working on the issue...I had no probs on install or download
Wonderful airplane !!!!!!!!! as first impression, maybe landing gear get up too fast ?
Did you have contact with someone over at JS?
Wow this is turning out to be surprising popular, even the Majestic website is down! (I was one of the first to purchase before JF announced it on Email, so I'm a happy chap.)
BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE!!!!!!!
Well, I have spent my first Dash-8 day clicking on 'Install' button. Not the experience I was looking for.
For all of you successfully installed - enjoy, I'll be off for work :(
In response to the landing gear retracting too fast. It's actually like that, just youtube a couple vids. Hopefully that would put your mind to rest. :) On another note I'm glad you got it working. I'm still stuck with the "No Order found" message.

So when I press F9 it goes to the the right seat. Hate it when people program that!
How do I make F9 command to go to the NORMAL seat where the captain sits?
Thanks for the Update.
Anyone suffering the bouncing cockpit??
Wish you could actually taxi to the left and right using a keyboard. Have to use the mouse and click and hold on the tiler to turn it. VERY ANNOYING. Please fix this Majestic.
YES! I do not know if this depend of EZDok !
Justflight will not process my purchase!
Justflight will not let me process my purchase!
Just Flight takes US dollars, and $60 USD equals $71.19 NZD.....Even with currency conversion fees it costs nowhere near $100 NZD, unless you're talking about the pro edition in which case Just Flight offers $12 USD discount (800 reward points) if you buy now and upgrade later.
If you folks are buying it from JustFlight, and get an error check your emails it might've gone through. It happened to me.
Well, after 8 hours misery, I can regard to this launch campaign is an epic fail... Product looks good, but the planning and execution of their so called "activation" system doesn't deliver.
Still hoping I'll see this thing installing tonight.
you're lucky... i still have troubles with it
You might be able to use the aileron axis (left/right keyboard) to control the tiller if I read correctly.
If you are encountering an activation issue, please contact us directly (if you purchased it from us): orders@justflight.com
The Majestic Software activation server is struggling with the demand and this isn't something that we have control over. However we can pass your details to Majestic to manually activate.
Please contact us using the address above and we can get you up and running in less than 30 mins.
Thanks
Martyn (Just Flight)
That being said, 10 hours later my excitement is reaching sub zero levels. I've been in contact with Oleksiy from MS since morning without much success.
What a load of crap !!!! 30mins its been hours and 4 emails sent
