I have it (FSX Version) - and I have not used it for a long time. I need to get it out again. It is great to fly once you get the hang of it. As I remember my throttle quadrant needed to be tweaked a little to get the levers right - you can reverse prop this thing right out of the gate (noisey, not normal recommended procedure). Also remember it was tricky (meaning realistic) to land - but I never practiced enough. Our little DW Dash-200 was so much easier to operate I got lazy and started using that when I wanted a Dash 8.

It was also expensive - about $90 USD. Maybe they have reduced the price now - it's worth checking. I still think it's listed as the best Dash 8 out there.

Thanks for making me remember this thing again. I'm going to get it out of the hanger!

So is that a new paint job or an old one Keith?

The Pilot edition is about $40.00 CAD now. You can still spend 90 bucks, for the instructor version, but that's overkill.

That's the old Livery.... Well, previous one. The current livery is actually the original version, so I guess it's really the old one... New old one? Now I'm confused! LOL

How's this. This is the Livery that was in use way back when Darryl Shuttleworth was CVA President. If you remember when that was.... :lol:

That was only 5 or 10 years ago. A blink of the eye in the eventful 16 year history of CVA! :wink:

I notice the CVA package is available for the FSX version. With the more recent logo.

I am impressed by your screenshot's RICH clouds. How did you make those clouds rich and thick, please?

Rex is your friend. I use it for the textures and active sky for weather data. The combo is incredible!
