The team at Majestic Software has recently quietly released the Visual Extension Package for the Q400 addon from them for Prepar3D. The Visual Extension Package is compatible with all currently available editions of the aircraft -Pilot and Pro.
The package promises to bring, for a decent price of €19.95 with taxes excluded, a whole new visual experience to the aircraft featuring PBR materials added to the exterior model and virtual cockpit, improved passenger cabin with “Seatbelt” and “No Smoking” indicators simulated, or new reflections to the cockpit controls and switches that will be especially visible while flying during the nighttime.
Additionally, True Glass from TFDi Design was also integrated into the aircraft with this new package for more realistic precipitation effects on the windshield, and some textures were adjusted for better detailing of the airframe elements.
The developers at Majestic Software as well integrated visible wheel chocks, pitot tube and engine intake covers while the aircraft is parked and visible wing supports in case of damaged wheel or landing gear assembly. The complete feature list of the package can be found below in the article.
The package can be purchased through SimMarket for the previously mentioned price of €19.95 with taxes excluded. Majestic Software Q400 is required in order for the package to work properly.
