Majestic arbeitet weiter an ihrer Turboprop Umsetzung und veröffentlicht dazu ein Update für alle Prepar3D Nutzer. Darin enthalten sind hauptsächlich Bugfixes. Allerdings weist der Installer schon P3D Version 6 aus, was vermuten lässt, dass hier der initiale Kompatibilitäts-Grundstein gelegt wird.
Version 1.025 betrifft alle Majestic Versionen der Dash 8 und kann über die User-Area heruntergeladen werden. Zur Möglichkeit der P3D Version 6 Auswahloption im Installer hält sich Majestic weitestgehend bedeckt. Dieser habe nichts zu bedeuten und war nur für interne Tests gedacht, so zu lesen im offiziellen Forenbeitrag zum Update.

So ein schöner Flieger. Hatte tolle Stunden mit der Dash im P3D. Schade das Majestic, keine Eile hat auf den MSFS umzusteigen. Grade auch deshalb, weil immer mehr Gesellschaften den Flieger ausflotten. In fünf Jahren braucht ihn dann (fast) keiner mehr.
Leider wohl wahr. Bin auch echt gerne mit der Dash geflogen. Hoffentlich irgendwann noch im MSFS
