CRJ700&FS2Crew | Denver-Aspen | Real Airline Pilot

Welcome on another short CRJ hop, this time from Denver to Aspen!
If you're wondering about the high rate of descend on final: We were a little high intially indeed and the 6,5° Glideslope just makes things interesting!
At the ~170kt GS we were doing the expected rate of descent would have been somehwere around 2000fpm on final, so since I aimed to fly it into the PAPIs we got a bit more than that.
Of course it was a pretty high rate there, but since the focus was on FS2Crew on this video I decided I'd just continue the approach - it is a flight sim after all (ok... and I had to go to work 5 minutes after I finished the recording).

Please make more vids in this aircraft. It's been put on the backburner ever since the 737 releases, but it's still a fun aircraft to fly.

[@bobbyrutz9402]

Brilliant. Seems like I'm not the only one who has had this plane sitting and waiting in the hanger!

[@TeamSethRules]

I have FS2crew for the CRJ. I’m sure it’s fairly accurate but I recently purchased the FSFO version for the CRJ and find it so much easier to use and not as cluttered and at times confusing as the FS2crew. They are both great but I find FSFO much easier to use. Just my thoughts if anyone looking for a FO program. I had Fs2 for the FBW and CRJ but use FSFO now for PMDG, FBW and CRJ and all work great where at times I found that FS2 didn’t as was hard to work out what it needed it its flows. Also great to see you in the CRJ it’s a brilliant regional aircraft to fly.

[@A330Driver]

I used FSFO a bit in P3D times, but liked FS2Crew way more. But each to their own, I'm sure there's good reasons why there's two addons available for this.

[@peterlazuric5641]

I am looking forward to the departure from Aspen. You were right that was a steep decent. 😂😂😂😂

[@jeremyhawkins7496]

When choosing the KASE runway approach it only gives rw15 and 33, no LOC or other arrivals… what am I missing?

[@CR-yf9uu]

Didn’t fs2crew reverse your selection for voices, i.e. the captain was the female voice and the FO the male voice (I believe you had it set the other way around)? Great video as always, fs2crew seems to add a lot of realism/convenience to the sim!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

That is what he selected. Clearly visible when he had the options menu open. Now whether he did that on purpose to further disconect his brain from learning wrong SOP's, or whether he made a mistake only he can answer. ;)

[@daveorr5858]

Super video helped me a lot with this aircraft

[@p0kinsmot]

I am also missing LOC15 Approach in the FMS. Anyone solve this issue?

[@sethr371]

What settings did you use to get those PFD colors ?

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

Mr. Emmanuel, excellent video once again. I have a friend who flies the 700/900. My understanding is real-world this plane doesn't have an autothrottle system. Is that also modeled in this mod? How were you managing speed?

[@mscigniewrudzinski5053]

It's like every other plane with no AT. FLC is the safest mode of climb, with power usually set in MCT. In cruise you set the thrust to keep the desired speed and you keep monitoring, if any changes happen, you adjust. The descent is quite easy too, can be done with flc or VNAV or whatever you please. You keep the throttle near idle. AT comes in very handy during greater workload, or following STARs but it's not necessary.

[@A330Driver]

As Mścigniew says, you need to fly it like any plane can be flown: Manually. It doen't take long to get used to how much thrust you roughly need and then you can fly it quite precisely.

[@jeffcupido4110]

Great video Emi. Can you fly an example of an offset ILS and show the proper way to approach this (especially in low visibility)? One such example would be KFLG rwy 21. KPHX - KFLG is a real world daily route on American eagle using the CRJ. Very short route .

[@A330Driver]

Hi, if you look at the charts you'll find you'll need at least half a statue mile visibility and the AP must not be used for the last 600ft on the approach. Once you're visua with the runway: Disconnect the AP, let the PM recycle the FD's and align the plane with the centerline.

[@jeffcupido4110]

@@A330Driver wow. Half mile to get that plane aligned manually. Will give it a try. Why recycle the FDs?

[@nonfamous]

great video again! is this the msfs standard Aspen?

[@A330Driver]

It's the Asobo Aspen, not sure if that came with the standard MSFS Version of any of the premium deluxe packages.

The fms does not offer LOC approach for me. How did you get that?

Did you solve?

What PFD color settings do you use, it looks way more realistic than the default setting

[@PlanesA-10]

How come it says, when I request ifr clearance there is no flight plan filed?

[@A330Driver]

Well, then you haven't filed a flightplan. Not sure what else to answer really.

Love the CRJ, I've been getting it setup with Pilot2Atc/Sky4simNG. Great combination..

[@ALLpurpose85]

When is it coming to xbox

[@Fireflyer1002]

Love the CRJ! Hoping Aerosoft doesn’t abandon it and it gets some updates

[@theredelephant428]

I hope so too! From my understanding though, the guy currently working on the ATR would be one to update it and he plans too but that means any updates likely wont be for some time until after the ATR has released and is 'stable'.

[@A330Driver]

Exactly as the Red Elephant says, the guy working on Microsofts ATR, Hans Hartmann, is the main CRJ developer, so once he's done with the ATR he will revisit the CRJ and do some major updates.

[@TeamSethRules]

I’m sure there are further updates and it has had some in the past but not sure what else it needs. It does everything it should.

[@Fireflyer1002]

I wasn’t aware that was the same guy. Makes me more excited for the ATR

[@Cessna172SNavIII]

@@TeamSethRules it would be nice to get some sound updates and some tweaks to the wing flex but yeah it does a pretty good job

[@r0xbeat]

Emanuel, du you use NVIDIA Game Filter for colour customization?

[@A330Driver]

Hi roxbeat, no, I don't use anything the likes. The colors you see are unchanged original MSFS ones.

[@TimmaMadiba]

How's performance with the Aerosoft crj, compared to pmdg 737?

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Similar.

[@A330Driver]

About similar I'd say.

[@GarrisIiari]

Similar to slightly better for me

[@SauloMogi]

I would like to fly big planes but the patience to fill out everything is not helping me !!!!

[@XCougar85X]

Tbh if you use simbrief it does not take very long. For example the 737 will be able to load all the waipoints and you only have to add inn departure/arrival and sid+star, punch in fuel and cargo (unless you want to keep it stock) and do the initperf. The 146 is even quicker. In all fairness, once you have done it a few times it just goes very fast if you bypass all the roleplay tests etc

[@SauloMogi]

@@XCougar85X By saying "using simbrief" you mean to import the data right. Its something i dont know how to do either. I tried to fly the a320 from flybywire but the checklist is humongous.

[@countryflyboy8255]

Ehh fs2crew seems cool. But im a hog. I like to do everything myself. Would be nice maybe in the pmdg dc6 ,which is not a single pilot aircraft at all. It has the flight engineer but it's not as personable as this guy or gal lol.

[@A330Driver]

The nice thing is that there are SOPs where you *will* still do most of the stuff yourself. This actually is the case with FS2Crew in the CRJ as you pretty much do the entire preflight and shutdown yourself, the FO will only handle systems when the aircraft is moving and when you should focus on flying the plane. The same will be the case in the upcoming SOP2 for the PMDG 737.
