We are aware of an issue relating to users running the Majestic Q400 and FS2Crew addon and ACARS freezing after departure.

We are narrowed this down to the condition levers being set by the virtual FO and so therefore we recommend that if you do not hear the off-blocks sound after starting the first engine (with the condition lever in start & feather) then when you need max condition, move the levers using your mouse. This will trigger off blocks.

If that doesn't work, there is a manual off-blocks button on the left hand side of ACARS you can use. You will need to use this again after arriving on the stand to register on-blocks.

The latest auto update to Intercity ACARS2 has changed how we detect off and on blocks in the Majestic Q400 and testing has proved it to be very accurate and reliable, however it requires you use the latest Q400 version (v1.020 onwards).

If you're using older Q400 versions you'll likely have to use the manual off and on block buttons provided. You can update your Majestic Q400 from http://majesticsoftware.com:8080/majesticSec/pages/orderStatus.jsp
