Update @ 09:15z Just Flight has now been added.

After some confusion earlier on, we can now confirm that the Majestic Software Dash 8 Q400 is now available as a 64-bit compatible version. This means users of Prepar3D V4 will be able to use the software.

If you have purchased the PRO version of the Dash 8 Q400, you will be able to download the update for the PRO version for $22.17 / eur 19.95.

If you have purchased the PILOT version of the Dash 8 Q400, you will be able to download the update for the PILOT version for $16.61 / eur 14.95.

You can currently buy it from SimMarket, Real Flight Shop, Just Flight or FlightSimStore. Just Flight, PCAviator and FSPilotShop’s store will come soon.

Just make sure you buy the upgrade from the store you originally purchased the add-on or you’ll end up buying the whole thing again.

We have also been told that a patch will be released shortly to fix a few small issues that were discovered just before release:

Glad to hear you are back in business with our new 64 bit edition. I hope it will perform to your expectations. By the way there will be a patch coming soon, since we have discovered a few minor issues upon the release. – Oleksiy, dev

There have been a bunch of new features added to the 64-bit versions including:

+ 64 bit: Compatible with Prepar3D V4.x

+ Free steering simulation is added (using brakes / steering OFF mode)

+ Minor EGPWS mode logic fixes

+ Electrics DC BUS TIE will not close if both DC Gens failed

+ Re-written the Condition Levers mouse interaction algorithm

+ Fixed the incorrect MAP elevation detection on some FMS approaches

+ Max ADF frequency is increased to 1999kHz

+ Added the EXITS page under DATA->SERVICES of the FMSs, to facilitate the operation of the aircraft doors

There has also been the following fixes and updates to the Pro version:

+ Shared cockpit fixes related to some key presses (ARCDU, display controllers)

If you have haven’t got a copy, you can just buy the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Pilot Edition 64-bit or the Pro version 64-bit direct from your favourite webstore. You won’t then have to pay an upgrade fee. You can see the difference in versions here.

Apologies again for the earlier confusion this morning.
