Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but if anyone is interested there's an excellent and extremely intuitive configuration tool that someone has graciously developed for the Q400 Pro version's upgraded 125hz 'smoother' controls.
Available here (http://viaintercity.com/forums/bombardier-dash-8-q400-%28dhc-8-402q%29/majestic-q400-pro-125hz-controls-config-tool/msg2928/#msg2928).
I've been enticed by the prospect of the smoother and more stable flight controls available in the Pro variant. However, I was put off by the apparently difficult setup process for the 125hz controls, which according to the Majestic forums tended to involve a lot of trial & error and messing with .ini files...with varying degrees of success, depending on who you ask. Thankfully this configuration tool completely eliminates those worries. I bought the Pro variant today and have to say the difference in hand-flying flight dynamics is night & day in comparison to the older Pilot version. It's markedly more stable and no longer has that "elastic" and imprecise control when flown by hand. Highly recommended!
