Great replys once again guys, and thanks for the link - I knew it was out there.
Dee - thank you for the SIM profile. I have looked at the Ansett Sim website and it says they have the Dash 8 Q series flight sim. My understanding of all this is that the panel is a semi-glass cockpit.
Is the NDB and ILS flown via an RMI ILS(analog) or ND (digital nav display).
(The older -8's have the analog and the newer have the semi-glass) - this is how I understand it all.
