Majestic Software have announced the availability of an update to their recently released DASH 8Q 400 Pilot Edition product, bringing it to version 1.006.
Among the updates are changes to alter the behaviour of the power levers, where users were experiencing difficulty selecting “DISC” position, to increase compatibility with some third-party products, plus a number of systems and display corrections and improvements.
Existing customers should have received an e-mail from their supplier, inviting them to download a new full installer for the product, while new customers will automatically receive version 1.006.
