Chris , the best and only would have to be the PMDG 1900 , originally FS9 but works well in FSX winkyy.gif

For a freebie you can't go past the PAD model, has an Eagle livery:

For payware there's only one option, its the PMDG model which is an FS9 model with a FSX tweak, panel and VC look a little aged these days but its still a cracker really, see:
http://www.precisionmanuals.com/pages/product/b1900d.html

Most of our lads at vANZ run the PMDG model, myself included, love it

You don't need to be sorry, I appreciate your help. I guess I will go for the PMDG model.
What about a Dash 8
I am trying to collect aircraft that are seen in thr Marlborough region (just to keep the addiction under control)

Sounds good to me Ian. I am going to be in Chch on Sunday but I only have four hours to spare and then I fly back to Blenheim so I probably won't be able to catch up then.

Chris, yeah once again we have an older model in the form of the Majestic, its as good as it gets at present, is showing its age and the FMC is a bit weak, other systems seem good, good fun to fly. Not sure how loaded you are but the "Pilot" edition will probably satisfy you.
Like Ian am really interested to see if PMDG do ship one eventually, but assuming thats a wee way off

So do you have a preference for the Dash 8 deeknow.

Yeah as I say its really only the Majestic. I have the pilot edition, its great considering its age.
Their advanced editions are used for pilot training apparently as have lots of systems failures modelled etc, a lot of $$$ tho

yea the FSQuality/Majestic Dash 8 -300 is still really good for its age and is still probably the most used model in my FS hangar. I've got some new replacement wavs for it that add a bit more life to it as well should you purchase it..

I've just installed this one - to get some screenshots for NZFSIM ... it's really not bad at all!

Ethan Ward repainted the whole vANZ fleet. Search for vanz_b1900d_fleet.zip on flightsim.com. For FSX. you may want to grab the prop texture from b19manx.zip (from PAD).
