One Of The World's Most Popular Turboprops

The Q400 is a Canadian-built medium-range turboprop regional airliner. The Q400 has a high cruise speed to make it competitive with travel times similar to jets like the CRJ and ERJ in segments under 500nm but is much more fuel-efficient. The max range of the Q400 is 1100miles at MTOW. Operating from regional airports to larger hubs the Q400 can take off in as little as 4000 feet of runway, but can easily fly at jet speeds in the terminal area. This versatile aircraft can operate in challenging areas such as mountainous terrain, steep approaches, gravel runways, and in all weather conditions. The Q400 is currently operated by airlines all over the world, from the northern regions of Canada and Europe, to the Australian outback, and everywhere in between.

Our Famous Detailed Lighting Returns.

The Dome, Storm, and all flight deck lighting work and can be customized to your taste with the brightness knobs. Dim or brighten all flight deck displays including the UNS. Your jump-seater even has their very own reading light.

The Cabin is lit with full overhead lighting and sidewall lighting with realistic flicker controlled by the flight attendant panel. Fasten Seatbelt and No Smoking lighting work just like the real aircraft.

Cargo compartment and service areas are properly lit so your ground team can load and service the aircraft, no matter the time of day.

All exterior lighting including the taxi, flare, landing, wing, navigation, and tail lights illuminate not just your aircraft but the surrounding environment. The dual-functioning anti-collision/strobe switch lets you distinguish between ground operations and flight operations, just like the real plane.

The UNS-1Ew Flight Management System

For the first time in X-Plane, we've created an accurate rendition of the UNS-1Ew FMS, Its unique way of managing your flight plan, its list & remote tune functions, and the interaction between the two units:

Full procedure compliance: fly in and out of any IFR airport, no matter how complex the SID, STAR or approach. RNAV, RNP, curved legs, you name it!

Includes simulation of the FMS heading mode: follow vectors to final without ever disconnecting LNAV.

True-to-life route rendition of the flight plan on the MFD map.

Like in the real plane, the two FMS units must have their routes and fuel data synchronised manually through the crossfill simulation.

Create holding patterns using the UNS-1's graphical holding definition page.

Geometric VNAV support.

The UNS-1 doesn't know about your plane's performance — remember to cross check your fuel usage!

2D popup and direct keyboard entry support.

Feel the 5000 horses pulling you across the skies.

With a max continue rating of 5071 SHP ( 3782 kW ) and with a prop assembly over 4 meters in width, the PW150 is the engine that gets the Q400 and its 78 passengers from A to B. We have taken the care to simulate this engine and its power output accurately. This includes FADEC and PEC simulation and proper power management via the input from power and prop condition levers in all phases of flight. We also wanted to make sure that at any time you will intuitively be able to work with the engine controls, either using commands and or axis input. We have even included an on-screen indicator to help get you acquainted with the Q4XPs unique engine operation.

Sounds

When it comes to sound, we believe the Q4XP could be easily the most detailed and faithfully reproduced aircraft for X-Plane yet.

The components of the Pratt & Whitney PW150A engine were recreated separatedly for operational realism. We captured the distinctive tones of its gearing, starter, low pressure and high pressure turbines and reproduced a whole cohesive sound field from all angles.

The interactions of the formidable Dowty R408 propellers with the air mass are modelled for all pitch angles and RPM regimes, simulating even the transmission of vibration through the aircraft structure and the effect the Q400 unique Active Noise Control system has on the interior ambience.

Every single moving part on the aircraft produces a sound and were recorded from real aircraft. All switches, buttons, levers, doors, even the cabin window shades, tray tables and overhead bins are modelled. You can appreciate how the interior ambience evolves smoothly as you move from the cockpit into the cabin, with every separate space like the lavatory or the forward baggage compartment having its own acoustic characteristics.

The cockpit ambience has been carefully reproduced, honoring the individual elements sound levels, 3D positions and material resonance, which makes your soundscape a living space that just seems real. If you're a Q400 pilot, we worked hard to make you feel right at home and if not, you'll see what it feels to be one.

There are many other things to mention, but we don't want to spoil the fun of finding out all the little details we introduced on the Q4XP so we'll leave the rest for you to discover.

The JPad

Every plane these days need an EFB to make it complete. The JPad is our solution to the UI and menus used in the past. You will have access to a 3d tablet in the flight deck or as a 2d pop-up.

The Features here are only the start of what we have planned to come for the JPad, but already you have several things you can do:

Always stay up today with notifications of patches right on the JPad home screen. Patch notes are also available to be read in sim.

See your aircraft statistics per livery, including total flight and engine hours, and how many passengers you have carried.

Set yourself as Captain, and your friend as First Officer, your weights will be included in the operating weight of the aircraft.

Load and service your plane using the Payload Manager. You will be able to enter your desired flight load and watch your passengers and baggage load and even check boarding passes for each passenger from the Payload Status page.

Keep track of the status of your flight using the built-in checklists, never miss a switch or a setting again!

Configure the aircraft to your liking with the onboard settings menu. These include selecting loading state, your role as captain or first officer, weight and baro unit selection, and baro syncing and much more.

If you feel like not having a 3d tablet, you can hide it on the fly with a click-spot on the forward suction cup.
