we usually get it as well (certainly at this extreme level), but then that makes everything else just blur into each other. To a point we have become even very tedious in the way we even expect a certain level of detail.
and the detail is absolutely "Staggering", and yes I used that word before in the FJS TwinJet review, but it is, even more amazing in the absolute detail here as well. Yes rivets can be nicely aligned, but without the correct shape and size they look unrealistic, but here it is total perfection. Modeling has become an art form, but it is in the real minute detail that really wins the contest. get in close and the Hi Res quality simply blows you away. Hi-Res 4K textures and combined with the fused built in lighting effects of PBR (Physically Based Rendering) reflections. and that is where it's biggest overall value comes from.įirst point to make is that the Legacy version was very good to begin with, it was always a very detailed and quality aircraft to look at, and outwardly the two aircraft do look very much the same, but the huge jump in quality is certainly built in here. So you are not just purchasing the FlyJSim Q4XP, you are also making a serious commitment to it. So your first decision with the Q4XP, is on how much will I use the aircraft? A few flights a month is just simply throwing away your money, as the aircraft actually demands consistent flying, not only in monetary terms, but in the demands the aircraft will make on your skills.
My belief is that value comes in anything that you use, even a very expensive car is not worth anything unless you actually use it, and something as your phone has far more personal value because you use the tool everyday, even every hour (minutes?). but really on how you will use the aircraft. An aircraft in this category like the FlyJSim Q4XP is a serious investment, they are not cheap, so it is a decision made not only on the feature list and the quality. Simulation at this level is about making serious decisions. That aspect can create even an unrealistic or even unattainable expectation, so the biggest question to be asked in this review is, "How much better is the Q4XP". Their Boeing TwinJet 737 had already set out a higher (If even an absurd) level of detail and quality, and the new Q4XP had to not only match that expected level, but even to deliver more, or even vastly more to keep the leadership of quality and features title in the X-Plane Simulator.

another attraction is that propeller regional aircraft are also extremely popular as simulations, with their short routes and multiple sectors in one day flying, final plus is that the aircraft can also be very rewarding to fly, that is a certainty in the Dash8's case with it's T-Tail configuration and unforgiving flying characteristics, so master the Dash8, and you will go straight to the top of the class in skill and honours.įrom FlyJSim's perspective it was actually far easier to totally redo the Dash8-Q400, than try to modernise the current (Legacy) Q400 version, so the announcement was made that the all new aircraft would be called the Q4XP and v2, and that moniker has stuck.īut another aspect was in a way that FlyJSim had also cornered themselves into a very, if extremely high expectation with the new v2 design.
No doubt it was a really great simulation and has flown countless hours in simulations worldwide, it was also a personal favorite of mine as the Dash8 (Dashy) is very close to my life in flying on the aircraft many numerous times (mostly Qantaslink and even FlyBe). In August 2019, FlyJSim signed off their original development of the De Havilland Canada DHC-8 Q400, by giving it a " Legacy" title as it was an aircraft that is originally dated back from 2012.
