The TCAS works with both the AI traffic, and the virtual ATC network traffic (Vatsim/IVAO.) The Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) simulates most of the ICAO defined CASII functions, and provides the traffic indication, as well as the traffic and resolution advisories. The weather clutter in the ground mode is also simulated.

In addition there is a ground mapping mode simulation, capable of showing the surrounding terrain. There is a ground clutter and the weather shadow effects. The beam geometry is also simulated in order to depict the weather based upon the aircraft altitude, antenna tilt and the altitude of the weather itself. The Weather Radar can work with both the FSX Real Weather, and the Weather Environment addons capable of setting the per-station weather.


The Weather Radar is capable of interpolating the weather returns, based on the actual FSX weather, using the FSX Weather Stations reports. The consequence of this is a much more realistic aerodynamics behavior of the aircraft, in particular the realistic wind simulation, enhahced propeller physics including the propeller discing and auto rotation, effects of the propeller airstream on the wing lift and the icing effects on the propeller, wings and the flight surfaces. Our addon is the only one available on the market, which includes a built-in Flight Dynamics Engine completely independent from the default FSX FDE. This edition has all the features of the PILOT edition, plus the Headup Guidance System simulation, the shared cockpit feature and several more (please see the comparative table below for the full list). "PRO" edition is for advanced users, or airline pilots wishing to improve their knowledge of the Dash8 Q400 airplane. The MJC8 Q400 addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3d v2 is a highly realistic rendition, built after the Bombardier (tm) Dash8 Q400 aircraft.
