Visual extension package advances the Q400 addon simulation experience by providing a number of immersive features, including
+ Improved realism due to usage of PBR materials for the exterior model and the virtual cockpit
+ Improved visual model smoothness
+ Textures adjustments for better detailing of the airframe elements
+ More realistic modelling of the passenger cabin with seatbelts/no smoking indicators simulated
+ Visible wheel chocks, pitot tube and the engine intake covers while parked
+ Visible wing supports in a case of damage wheel/landing gear assembly
+ improved resolution of the exterior markings
+ Several improvements of the virtual cockpit markings resolution
+ Improved virtual cockpit night lighting
+ Added simulated reflections on the cockpit controls and switches for the better night visibility
+ Improved landing/approach/taxi lights
+ Integrated True Glass library from TFDi for the realistic precipitation effects on windshield
+ Includes bonus Fly Baboo livery
Excellent improvement to visuals brings MJC Q400 to modern PBR standards.
TrueGlass support with rain effects on the windshield is very well done.
Price is irrelevant ... less than 1/4 tank of gas.

A fantastic addition to the already wonderful MJC8Q400. The cabin and lighting in particular look great, and the included windshield effects bring the aircraft forward to 2022 standards.

A very well needed visual update for an aging product. The price is a bit of a joke though, way too expensive given the fact that far from all old textures has been modified to the standards of 2021. If you have €25 burning in your pocket or just love flying the Q400, then go ahead and make the purchase. Otherwise, spend it on something more useful instead.

Thank you so much for transferring one of the best P3D Aircrafts to 2021! Now it is really stunning to fly at night time. Ok, the price might be quite high, but I really do not have a problem to support further developments of that class.
As a real world pilot I rate the physics at take-off and landing very close to reality: The influence of the power lever to the rate of descent feels like in a real turbo-prop. Relation between stability and speed is so real that I sometimes forget that I am not in a real cockpit.
Am I dreaming, or has this also improved to perfection without being pointed out?

I've flown this aircraft for years and enjoy it very much. The visual extension didn't take anything away from that. I think the biggest improvement that I noticed most was the night lighting. You must have the dynamic lighting on to appreciate the taxi and landing lights; which look great. The cockpit interior I think is a bit sharper (without a side-by-side comparison it's hard to be certain). I never look into our around the passenger cabin area very much so I assume for those who do the added signage will be nice. The aircraft exterior didn't impress me quite so much but I fly looking out the windows 90% of the time anyway. While I think the price is a bit much, I can appreciate the costs involved putting it together and they have to make a living. I'm satisfied enough to give it 3 stars.

I've been a long-time user of the Majestic Q400, and was excited to finally see some news about this aircraft, which has been in need of some improvement for a while now. I was shocked to see the remarkably high price for this extension package, given the fact a lot of the features are included with the base price for a lot of addons nowadays. Having loaded into the aircraft, and ensuring it is installed and working correctly, I simply cannot recommend this extension. I am not seeing any radical improvement to the texture quality throughout the flight deck, and even in some of the screenshots uploaded to the advertisement on Simmarket, there are very blurry lines around the doors for example. I am quite frankly baffled at how a once reputable company has seemingly fallen from grace with this extension package.
