FJS Dash 8 Q400 Ice Protection Preview

Finished up creating and testing the Ice Protection system for the Q400 simulation.
It lights up like an X-mass tree so quoted from out pilot friends at FlyBe.
The lights indicate boot activation on sections of the wing.

I can't wait for this one! It looks about done....

[volatilisjackal]

@heavybubble41 Yup, it is about done. still a few things to work out, minor bugs here and there. We sure would like to have a bug free release.

Thanks for not making the mistake they made on the CRJ-200 - they made the cockpit look like a cartoon cockpit. The toggle switches and autopilot panel knobs are HUGE. The knobs look like soda cans. The toggle switches look like drumsticks. They say they were modeled out of scale so they'd be 'easy to manipulate'. But that's what the zoom function is for, and xplane's a simulator - not a cartoon. The immersion and appearance of the cockpit is best with a scale cockpit!

@rddaos Thanks man. Everything is basically modeled using measurements of the real plane. this means the scale of all the switches and knobs are accurate down to the millimeter. Maybe I went a little OCD on getting all this right, but your comment must mean it payed off.

I just purchased the Q400 and have one small request. Please, if you plan to make an update, I think there is a bug that makes the props look like they are spinning very slowly.
