thanks! thats Majestics old Q300 unfortunately the VC isn't that great to be honest but the amazing sound and external model means I still cant stop flying it!

Majestic do have an updated Q300 in the works, however it looks like it will be a fair while off yet

Very nice does that work on P3D ? also what traffic program you using ?

Actually Terry you maybe surprised, I simply copy and pasted the Captain Sim 737 into P3D and it worked fine along with many others , only pit-full is I can't save the aircraft or flight, I must check to see if there is a installer , other aircraft that worked fine was the Aerosoft Huey and Bronco so I would say it would not be an issue putting the Majestic Q300 into P3D.

I might try , is it the process where you put aircraft into the aircraft folder, texture into the texture folder and so on ?

If your not running FSX , what I do is create a folder "Majestic Q300" in P3D and it should load, trouble is I don't know the address for the Majestic product so I'm only guessing.

For sure Ian but I barely know what P3D is haha let alone whether aircraft will work in it

Don't worry matey, I'm still very much learning it myself, after-all two previous versions I'm years behind.

Great work DashCap ... had a fly on a dash the week, loved it.
In fact, Im planning a one-day "milk run" around the country very soon.
Want to hit as many airports as I can in one day ... but it's not as easy as it sounds ... onto plan S at the moment.
The problem is some of the regional flight's transit through the main centers, which means if I plan a couple of south island to north and back ... I may end up in chc twice

Will keep you posted ... Again, great work:rockon:

That would be a very interesting trip .. make sure you always get the window seat .. but the concept sounds a brilliant day out

Way back, when we had a Flying Sportsmen's Club in Port Kembla Rugby League Club, we raffled two seats on a mystery flight, either TAA or Ansett did them in the school holidays. The winners were a couple who had come down from Dubbo to visit their grandkids. The flight was the following weekend, so off they went...and finished up in Dubbo for the day

That would be an interesting flight into Wollongong, over Port Kembla and the approach, return into that airport on board the Connie.

It wasn't THAT long ago
The first FSC trip (long before my time) was actually out of Albion Park (YWOL) and the Fokker Friendship was the latest thing, so TAA or whoever were happy to fly a charter from there since we guaranteed a full plane. After that we had to bus it to Mascot, The last trip I was involved in was a Shorts S360, wh was being introduced on the Sydney-Merimbula run, and happened to be available for a charter from Albion Park to Forbes. By that time, flying was no longer a novelty, and most of the PKLC members had moved to other suburbs to raise families, so the FSC died. It was great while it lasted, though. We would arrange to visit a club (usually an RSL) somewhere in NSW, and take bowlers, golfers, cricketers, darts and snooker players to compete with the locals. Of course we would have a few beers, too, just to be sociable, y'understand.
One memorable outing was to the 1976 Melbourne Cup. Our coach picked us up at PKLC for the run to Mascot. Beside the door it said "Fully air conditioned". At Tullamarine, our coach had "Fully Centrally Heated" in the same place beside the door, causing much ribald comment and hilarity from our members.

I fun things with flying and flights, all that jocularity

I still have my Flying Sportsmen's blazer, but it seems to have been affected by the drought, because it is very tight under the arms these days...

We both have problems .. yours shrunk a little, mine just seem to fall off or have expanded
