Does anyone know if there is an AI model out there for the Dash 8 Q300. I know PAI did a model and base kit, but I'll be stuffed if I can find and download it. Thier website is more focused on complete packages.

Don't know if that would be of any use.

Thanks for that, I did manage to find it in the end.

PAI are quite strict with thier product. You have to sign up as a member of PAI before you can download any AI models seperately (ie, not part of a package). I wanted to make up a quick and dirty AI DH8C model in Air Nelson colours, as there aren't any out there that I could find. If there is any interest, I'll clean it up and put it on flightsim.com (users still may have to be PAI members to get the base kit though).



I've just noticed that on the computer I'm using the tails look really purple and the 733 in the background has a really green tail. It doesn't look like that at all on my FS PC.

Check the colour settings on your FS PC's moniter (sucking eggs, I know, but just trying to help!), it looks purple on mine too

I know we are talking about air nz Q300 AI add-ons, but does anyone know any good 'flyable' Air New Zealand (Air Nelson) Q300 add-ons for FSX / FS2004???

Cheers guys,

I got the Ai trafiic pack from VOZ and stripped the Qantas dash8 Ai out of it as i wanted them. As for flyable dash 8 the majestic is a great product and one of my favourite to fly, there is currently a FSX SP2 upgrade coming along although I havnt really spotted any issues except for some aircraft textures. Are there any newzealand DASh8 Ai planes and flightplans out there, like to get newzealand as buzy as aus.

Hi, as mentioned in another reply, does anyone know of a flyable DASH 8/ Q300 in AirNz colours for FSX or FS2004 as i have spent hours and can't find any.

Also does anyone know where the default dash 8 by Bob Chicilo is? as I can't find it anywhere all i get is the updates of it.

Please would be very helpfull.

I think you were using photoshop CS 8? Thats is my guese, I have found it makes blues look very purple and if you check my 737 thread you will see whenever I need to do blue in a paint (NAZ SJB, and Fly Thomson) it takes a few goes to get it right because of that as you need to open the paint up in windows viewer to see the accurate colour.

Thanks NAKI,

Yeah I found a Bombardier Q200 and air new zealand livery for it and it works in fsx and I started up a virtual airline up.
The Q200 is close as the Q300 in my eyes.

The virtual airline is Called Air Nelson Virtual. BAsed on the real world airline Air Nelson.

The problem is I can't land that one. The nose keeps dropping when flaps are lowered
