It has been more than two years than Majestic last updated their wonderful Dash 8 Q400 to version 1.020a. This time, the newly released update is for both 32bits and 64bits variant of their PRO Edition ONLY. While no major functionality is added, the update paves the way for the release of their upcoming Training Edition. Majestic further added that the community could expect a more detailed status update regarding the Training Edition in mid-January.
Several system logics have been improved and fixed, and a general code cleanup took place. It is to be noted that the new UDP interface is a hint at a future home cockpit functionality, which is one of the announced feature of the Training Edition Here is the full change log :
