just installed the dash 8 package. had a couple of goes with the airwave airlines version and for some reason i full throttle down the runway and it just moves from right to left and jolts everywhere and never takes off.

I hope you realise this isnt a physic convention, Which dch8 , and also they have a throttle lock on them which needs to be released before take off. If you look at the throttle column there should be a lock above it. It is used to restrict throttle limits while on the ground.

This one I presume. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=dash8x2&categoryId=&filename=Y
I just checked it out & it won't take off for me either. I wouldn't waste any more time on it.

Note: Don't delete the DH_Dash8_100 folder if you still wish to use it as AI traffic.

Yes. Delete the Panel folder to remove it from the Free Flight aircraft selection menu.
