MSFS Aerosoft CRJ Tutorial Ep3: Feeding the FMS!

[@bwc1976]

This was an excellent explanation that isn't rushed or anything, I'm sure people will refer back to it multiple times!

[@Justin-oy6es]

Thank you for sharing this! I had to rewatch a few times but I was able to program my CRJs FMS! Very knowledgeable my guy! Keep making more videos 😊

Congratulations to 28K f high, the best video tutorial I have seen in 10 years of using MSFS !!!

[@jay-rus4437]

Just started learning about this aircraft. Spend most of my time in the a320 or 737, so its nice to have these videos that offer so much information about the crj.

[@69buckleys]

Its taken me about 6 times of watching your video and actually doing it before its finally started to sink in! Thanks heaps for taking the time to do these videos. I've actually got the CRJ following a flight plan without crashing ( of course I still have to land it yet :) ) Thanks again!

[@Flyer0245]

Thank you! 6 times is actually a good number. Getting to know the FMS is difficult for everybody in the beginning but with time it will become second nature. Happing landings!

[@IopuaauahiPapale]

lucky you. nothing about my flight plan jived with this guide. entering a simple flightplan over the canadian border is damn near impossible to do without "not found" errors for basic airways.

[@elbapino6531]

Hello sir, how to set in the EFB the green and the blue color please ? very nice stream !

[@dylancalheta6219]

Am I able to use simbrief as a downloaded OFP report to copy the information to the aircraft ( Basic flight information such as Cruise, Fuel, Weight, Route, ETC)? is that what you used for the video with the pop up screen on display? By the way awsome video! definately will use this series when the CRJ goes live

[@Flyer0245]

Yes, that is what I did. You can use Simbrief and enter everything from the OFP manually into the EFB and CDU. No auto import yet.

[@normwright4894]

I was hoping to see you stepping through the waypoints. I am having trouble doing this. the display shows no movement.

[@justjase1576]

I've just found your channel, its excellent, thank you so much for your CRJ tutorials. I have subbed. I am having some issues with the FMS though, I am trying to fly from LGAT to LTBS, I have NaviGraph (which I have pushed into the CRJ from the website), however, when i am entering the airways for this route, the FMS constantly displays "not found", I've tried both SimBrief AND NaviGraph for routing, but every time, FMS shows not found. Any ideas? I at least expected the FMS to be able to route using NaviGraph (since supposebly the data is in there). It was really disappointing. If you could give me some tips on what you would do, when flying routes that aren't in the DB, that would be hugely appreciated. I am using OnAir app and don't always have the luxury of size 5 airports. Thanks again for great content.

[@Flyer0245]

If the DB does not know the airway you have to manually enter the waypoints that make up the airway. It could also be that there is a missmatch between AIRACs, meaning the database used are not the same.

[@wmcburnett]

It must be very frustrating that the AKUNU3A arrival disappeared right after you released. It might be helpful to say something about this somewhere, because I was assuming it was a problem on my end, not the fact that I had up-to-date AIRINC data.

[@Flyer0245]

Yeah, Airac updates can be a b*tch when it comes to tutorial videos. Thanks fot the heads up though. I will make a note about it in the video information.

[@BritishAvgeek]

It's going to be weird getting used to the much lower viewpoint out the window!

hi! Thanks for this great video series, very hyped for the CRJ! Question, do you know if it supports direct import from Simbrief for the flight plan? Or it requires manual entry of all legs?

It does not support it yet due to MSFS constraints. Sometime in the future this will be an option though.

[@zorgksp5113]

@@Flyer0245 Thanks for the reply! Thats a shame, I guess I better be prepared to work that keypad :P Both the A32NX and CJ4 mods support simbrief import so hopefully the CRJ will get it too before long.

[@davidh7280]

I prefer to string the flight plan from the CDU. The SimBrief import never works correctly for me in the CRJ, there is the Asobo extra legs and User issue.

[@f50pilot96]

How about takeoff speeds? V1,vr,v2

[@Flyer0245]

[@NyxxUK]

Hi F, it's Nyxx, Q for you please, in this vid at the end you use the EFB and copy perf init data to FMS, that as you show means re-entering the CRZ alt and ALTN CRZ ALT, do you think since your not the only lazy one :) could the EFB be filled in first, then the FMS, so your ending could be moved to the beginning? and not filling in the perf init page again? Thank you.

[@Flyer0245]

Hey Nyxx, you do not have to re-enter the altitudes. I just used a new FMS setup for this part of the video and did not enter anything in the perf page yet.

[@tylerhollishill]

Can't figure out why my FMS keeps saying "not in database" for the points simbrief recommends me flying. :( Can't even get off the ground.

[@Flyer0245]

There is probably a database missmatch between your Simbrief and the CRJ database (AIRAC). THe CRJ DB is the most current one and probably does not have some of the waypoints Simbrief still uses. The only solution here would be to get (buy) an actual AIRAC DB for Simbrief or use a different flightplanning tool.

[@TheJustinJacobs]

So I am having an issue with my Autopilot. I followed step by stem but I keep getting the same issue, my plane will not follow the flight plan. It shows on the map, I'm on FMS 1. I just am not sure what else to do.

[@Flyer0245]

Does the AP engage? Do you see the AP text in the upper left part of the PFD attitude indicator?

[@TheJustinJacobs]

@@Flyer0245 Yes, I do. It will follow altitude. but if I hit Nav it's just flying straight even though I see my NAV course

[@Flyer0245]

@@TheJustinJacobs Best to go to the Aerosoft support forum and ask there for help, they can probably help you out!

[@kerucutgaming2216]

Is this the same CDU as CJ4? Looks almost identical. I'm comparing aircraft to aircraft, not the sim default to this one. Could be they're using same CDU manufacturer?

[@BaptiseLeGrand]

Same manufacturer, Rockwell-Collins, so they share quite a bit of the UI. I believe the avionics suite in the CRJ is a little more capable than the ProLine in the Citation, but there are similarities.

[@Ronald9540]

I wished there was an option to download the flight plan and data from SimBrief, instead of always having to enter it manually

[@se-kmg355]

There is, called the Simbrief downloader.

[@CameTo]

I use simbrief downloader all time, but I didn't see the option in this, at least what he showed, to load a route... Big tip that most people don't do, if you type the route, you only need to enter the first waypoint until the airways on the left side .. then only enter the next airway on the left. Most people will give themselves extra work by typing waypoints on the right for each airway they join/leave. You can ignore this, there's only 1 point where 2 lanes will cross and your FMC knows this. Using this method you can plan right until the last airways, where of course you must specify the waypoint you'll jump off, usually into your star.

[@se-kmg355]

@@CameTo Maybe you do not see the option since the aircraft is not released yet, and Simbrief need to know where the FPL needs to go. This feature exist for previous versions of the CRJ and I am certain it will be implemented with this one as well.

[@davidh7280]

I'd prefer to string the flight plan myself. I've seen strange extra waypoints and "User" waypoints whenever I try to use an imported plan from SimBrief. That's in the CJ4 (with the mod) of course.

[@CameTo]

@@davidh7280 It happens rarely, usually when a airac cycle edits out or renames an old fix. I'm gonna hazard a guess that for every 10 flights I get 1 missing waypoint and every 50 flights I get one out of place. I don't mind typing a few in, but it gets a bit fiddly.

[@jeremyc311709]

How do you scroll through the waypoints along the flightplan to make sure that they are all correct on the MFD?

[@Flyer0245]

You can use the NEXT PAGE button on the CDU and scroll through the LEGS page or you can select the MFD PLAN mode and use to MFD ADV key on the CDU and you will see the option to go through the waypoints on the MFD.

Due too the WASM coding the CRJ is in a "sandbox" and can not communicate with the "outside" world. This means simbrief auto inserts and MSFS flightplan imports do not work (yet). This is an Asobo restriction. If the CRJ FMS does not accept airways and/or waypoints this is because they are not in the AIRAC, which reflected RW 2 weeks ago.

I'm so disappointed by buying this Plane, Why? Don't get me wrong is such a beautiful work done by these people but in all reality what AEROSOFT missed to understand (At least with this model) is that Flight Simulator foremost "IS STILL A GAME", yes, I get it, sophisticated enough for real "PILOTS" to enjoy the GAME, but for people like me, which I'm sure I represent a HUGE AUDIENCE, for this amazing game, that love airplanes but don't know much about aviation, that would expect to install the plane, set up a couple of buttons (LIKE ALL THE PLANES CURRENTLY UNDER NATIVE FLIGHT SIM 2020 HANGAR) and just FLYYYYY. The plane is sooooooooo technical that unless you are a pilot, and I mean a pilot is just impossible to fly, Do I have to take a course in order to fly this game? Do I have to buy a log book with it? What part of the word GAME has AEROSFOT missed???. So sad.....
