The weather clutter in the ground mode is also simulated. There is ground clutter and weather shadow effects, and also a ground mapping mode simulation, capable of showing the surrounding terrain. The beam geometry is also simulated in order to depict the weather based on the aircraft altitude, antenna tilt and the altitude of the weather itself. The Weather Radar can work with both the FSX Real Weather and the Weather Environment add-ons capable of setting the per-station weather.
The Weather Radar is capable of interpolating the weather returns based on the actual FSX weather using the FSX Weather Stations reports. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW150A turboprop engines, the Q-400 can carry 78 passengers up to 1,500 miles at 360 knots, not much slower than its regional jet competitors. Since entering service in 2000, over 450 Q-400 aircraft have been delivered to a diverse range of airlines around the world. The Majestic Software Dash 8 Q-400 for FSX is a highly realistic rendition of Bombardier's twin-engined turboprop regional airliner. If you already own this version, you can buy the new 64-bit P3D v4 version at a discounted price - see for details.
