Virtualcol FS - Dash 8-100 MSFS

The De Havilland Dash 8 has proven to be a popular player in the regional turboprop airliner market. De Havilland Canada began development of the Dash 8 in the late 1970s in response to what it saw as a considerable market demand for a new generation 30- to 40-seat commuter airliner. The first flight of the first of two pre-production aircraft was on June 20 1983, while Canadian certification was awarded on September 28 1984. The first customer delivery was to NorOntair of Canada on October 23 1984.

Like the Dash 7, the Dash 8 features a high-mounted wing and tail, and has an advanced flight control system and considerable full-length trailing edge flaps. Initial Dash 8 production was of the Series 100, which was followed by the Series 100A in 1990. The 100A introduced a revised interior with extra headroom and PW120A turboprops. The Series 100B was offered from 1992 with more powerful PW121s for better climb and airfield performance.

Virtualcol takes pride in presenting the initial version of a package of three models of this series, the Dash 8-100. This model has analogue instruments but incorporates the version 100B FMS used in all subsequent versions.

This model includes:

• Full details of the cockpit
• Analogue indicators as accurate as possible to the original model
• Sound worked based on propeller movements
• FMS (UNS) developed by Working Title Studio
• Flight dynamics as possible with the real model
• Tablet with help to open doors, Flight Attendant voices, and start engines assisted
• This model is not a study-level model, but we worked as accurately as possible to replicate the real model.
• Still doesn't have Navigraph and SimBrief service, but we are working on that for future updates.
