The latest update to Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator came with a great surprise in the form of some very fine, and very free, DLC. Yep, for no additional charge FS2 owners can grab a very nicely detailed Bombardier DHC-8, more colloquially known as a "Dash-8." Used in a sentence, it would go like "No, my last leg was pretty uncomfortable - they crammed us into a Dash-8."
I'm hear to tell you, though, that the seat way up front is much, much better.
Details about Dash 8:
• Liveries; Austrian Airlines, Canada Express, Flybe, Horizon Alaska, Celebration and Green, Sata, and SkyWork
• full rigidbody simulation of the fuselage, wings, stabilizers, gear and propeller (customary for all Aerofly FS 2 aircraft) with accurate flight model which is fairly close to real world numbers during climb, cruise and descent
• simulated prop wash effects on wing, gyroscopic effects of the large propellers which require a bit of trimming on pitch, yaw and roll axis when power changes
• custom engine physics for the PW150A turboprop engine using real world physics laws and no "lookup table" calculations
• realistic engine shut-down and preliminary failure of other systems with engine off
• engine start; physically accurate simulation with starter connected to high pressure shaft
• engine has realistic heat capacity and cools down when its off
• custom FADEC simulation
• new governor implementation
• custom rendering algorithm for all displays
• glass cockpit functionality
• ARCDU (audio radio control display unit)
• all clickspots have been prepared and are available; most switches already work but not all systems are modeled yet
• a lot of the push buttons are animated to give better feedback
• Updated sounds
There is a lot to be excited about. For a complete and impressive listing of all new features packed into this update visit the change log notes: https://www.aerofly.com/aerofly_fs_2/dokuwiki/doku.php/manual:early_access_changelog#section20170726
