Virtualcol Dash-8 series released

The real nice part is finally FSX Native Dash 8-100 thru 300. The PAD Dash is retired to the bone-yard. I also saw a Air Inuit New Bird paint. Now that was a surprise for me. Best darn Economic purchase of 2015 for me.

So this is better than the PAD version? Thanks for any input.

Yes, I'd say so. It's an FSX-native model to start with, and in my opinion both looks a bit better and has more functionality (in the VC) than the old PAD model.

For me being in P3DV25 primary, this dash series is 100X better then the PAD. The PAD VC in P3D is useless, with this new dash being native for FSX I am finally Dash happy in P3DV25. It really filled a massive hole in hanger.

Dash 8 Q400

Hi Guys,

I bought the Virtualcol Dash 8, and have been flying the Q400 in P3D2.5 (I've recently installed FSX-SE, but haven't tried the Dash in it yet).

I like this "Lite" version, and for me, it climbs, cruises, and approaches well, but I can't get it below 100kts. To land, I've to fly along the runway, and retract the flaps to stall onto the surface. Any slight flare simply initiates a climb.

How have you guys found it, and can anyone point to something stupid I must be doing, or not doing?

Thanks, Jim
