I'm glad to see they added how bad the CRJ is at intercepting green needles in any crosswind. I love the CRJ shuffle!

[@Banshee365]

LOL. True story. They should teach how to join in white needles and smoothly switch to green in ground school.

[@Senor0Droolcup]

vielen Dank for this tutorial series. I'm a humble single-engine instrument pilot in real life and trying to learn how to fly jets in MSFS. It's all about "learning the flows" and you are really helping me.

[@Flyer0245]

Thank you, glad to hear! Have fun with the CRJ.

[@drywater3729]

Kinda noticed a sway of the plane upon landing which I have seen is quite consistent among planes in fs2020. I hope ASOBO will fix the landing physics of the game! Plane looks great nonetheless!

Agree. Actually I this the 320NX is super easy to land. I always get around -45, -70 fpm. I believe the real ones (xplane) are harder to land

[@stanleychu2380]

great video showcasing the landing! Does the speed of the airplane decelerating mid-air (when you decrease throttle) or when you land (and use reverse thrust) seem realistic? I noticed that the slowing down seems really easy in this aircraft and was wondering if that's realistic?

[@Flyer0245]

I would say more or less yes. Within the confines of the simulation it is ok. As the FM is still work in progress for MSFS you can expect further fine tuning in the future.

[@IronKirton]

Cant get my thrust reverse to work, have them armed but when i toggle them they dont seem to deploy....on the plus side i get value for money on my landing fees

[@LiveFlyGuy]

Looks like it will be worth the hype! If they remodeled the textures to make it look a bit more worn out/used in an update and if Asobo fix their physics a bit more I think that will push the aircraft to an even higher level than it already is!

[@popo864]

I did yesterday my first full amateur flight from SAEZ to SACO, I don’t understand what I did wrong, the LOC never showed up for me to do the approach, I had to do it manually.

[@billygoat515]

I cannot get it to switch to localizer mode. Any kind of steps to ensure it will or do I need to be in a certain range?

[@hairsiluet]

[@Flyer0245]

Thank you!

[@FlightRicardo]

Very good!

[@payt01]

Kind of incredible that there are still airliners flying around without autothrottle. Is this an effort to keep cost down?

[@Flyer0245]

That is a reason yes. Autothrottles cost money and certification isn't cheap either.

[@alejandromartinezalvarez9584]

Thank you very much for these tutorials! How did you manage to disconnect the autopilot without getting the disconnect bar in the down position?

[@Flyer0245]

I mapped a Joystick button to the AP disconnect command. IRL you normally never use the disconnect bar on the FCP.

[@alejandromartinezalvarez9584]

Yes I do the same as in real life but when I disconnect it via the assigned button the disconnect bar goes down. It used to happen also in P3D too…

[@Flyer0245]

@@alejandromartinezalvarez9584 Strange. I never saw it in P3D but I also did not fly the 900/1000 addin for it. With MSFS I also did not see it happening and I did not do anything apart from mapping the function. Did not try SU5 yet though.

[@gc0907]

Thank you very much for your tutorials. How to do an RNP APPROACH with the CRJ?

[@Flyer0245]

Thanks. please ask that question in the AS forums. The comments section of YT is not the ideal place to discuss something like PBN/RNAV/RNP.

[@MindfulCrane07]

I am having a super annoying bug and i don't know where else to ask for help. My elevator trim does not work, i have tried so many different things now but i cannot make it work. It works if i use the clickable spot on the Yoke, but the joystick buttons i assign do nothing. I am using Elevator Trim Up (Nose Up) and Elevator Trim Down (Nose Down). I have tried multiple buttons, both on my joystick and on my keyboard, nothing makes any difference. I am completely lost.

[@Flyer0245]

A good place to ask for support would be the Aerosoft website. You can use their forum to ask for help or you can submit a support ticket with them. From your description of the problem I am afraid I am unable to help. The only thing I can think of is to double check that you do not have double bindings for the elevator trim on multiple controllers. Make sure to have just one binding on one controller. Good luck and let me know if you find a solution, thanks.

[@MindfulCrane07]

@@Flyer0245 Thanks for the reply. I can find no other buttons assigned to the trim, and the button works fine on other aircraft. I have made a post on the Aerosoft forum, hopefully someone can help. On a sidenote, awesome tutorial series, very informative and at a very good phase. I like the details, even if a lot of it probably won't be used be most simmers, but its nice to know these things anyway. Again thanks for the great tutorials

[@69buckleys]

Thanks for these tutorials, I was wondering is there an industry wide best practice for turning off the autopilot? e.g. at what flight level should the autopilot be turned off or is it simply up to the individual pilot? Thanks again!

[@Flyer0245]

Sorry for the late reply, I was on the road for a few days. There is no industry wide standard when it comes to AP usage. For some aircraft there is a minimum certified altitude. Some airlines have it in their SOP to make full use of the AP all the time but remain fussy as to when to disconnect it for landing. There were a few landing accidents in the past that put some of the blame on the pilot for disconnecting the AP just a few seconds before touching down. The reasoning is that you need a bit of time to become familiar with the current weather conditions and a few seconds will not do. Most pilots that I know will, most of the time, disconnect the AP after the aircraft is fully configured and the landing checklist is read. This will be around 1500 feet above the runway elevation and I would personally say that this is the latest time to disconnect the AP on a straight in ILS approach. Normally I like to fly the aircraft manually after passing FL100/10.000 or so but it depends on airspace structure, traffic flow and daily fitness levels.

[@KGSOsimpilot]

I wanted to come back to this video hoping someone could help me out. My CRJ700 is not following the GS like it's supposed to be. It falls short every time. I've tried multiple different airports and I have followed these tutorials to every detail. Any suggestions or perhaps a bug?

[@Flyer0245]

There is a lingering glideslope bug when it comes to the CRJ and MSFS. You are probably doing nothing wrong, it is just a problem with the coding and apparently it is not easy to fix by both parties involved. Best thing to do is take over manually when you see it doing something stupid or fly lateral in LOC mode and vertically in VS and aim for around -700 feet per minute when fully configured and on the GS. Maybe one day we will see a fix but do not hold your breath for it.

[@KGSOsimpilot]

@@Flyer0245 thanks for the informative reply! That's unfortunate, hopefully we will see one.

[@Flyer0245]

@@KGSOsimpilot Yeah, it is what it is. I also hope for a solid fix someday as it bugs me as well.

[@jetsimmer]

Is the Aerosoft CRJ going to have the Auto Throttle in the future?

[@Flyer0245]

No, as the RW CR7-1K does not have it the sim version will also not get it.

[@davidh7280]

I noticed a tendency for the nose to remain high for quite a while after main gear WOW. Do you put the nose down with elevator or trim down? I always seem to have trim high on landing.

[@Flyer0245]

You can use the yoke to give it some nose down input. But the current FM is not very realistic at the moment due to missing ground lift spoilers that were not in the Asobo code. This will change in the near future and we will get a better behaviour.

[@MaineAviationCessna]

Which key bindings do you use to move from display to display? I hear you clicking a button that moves you around the cockpit to different views (like the overhead panel)

[@Flyer0245]

I have an TM warthog and bind all the views to different buttons.

[@cyrus5963]

Do you have a good rule of thumb if I cannot find the MDA information for a runway? I noticed the MDA here was about 200ft about ground level. Would that generally be okay?

[@Flyer0245]

An ILS CAT 1 Approach generally is 200 feet above the threshold/airport elevation. So yeah, 200 can be used if you do not have any charts, but only in MSFS ofcourse. ;)

[@f50pilot96]

Hi When I arm Appr it captures the loc ok but then when GS is captured and turns green it nosedives with more than 2000ft/min. The only thing I havent tried now is going from nav to hdg. So Fma shows hdg and vs. Then go green and then press appr. Otherwise it always nosedives. Do you know about any fix for this coming out? Hard to fly realisticly otherwise. Thanks

The dev is working on a walkaround fix for this. It is a very annoying bug. Expect something next week!

[@loseyourselfmw2]

You may of answered this in one of your other parts of this crj series, but how does the fps in this aircraft compare with others in the sim? Is it on the more taxing side like the a320/747? Lighter side like the small ga aircraft? Or somewhere in the middle like the citation?

[@UkraineStar77]

I noticed that the CAB ALT as well as the delta pressure jumped from 200ft to 1400ft instantly on main wheel touchdown, which leads me to assume that the CPC landing elevation schedule isn't modelled. Is the team aware of this and will this be fixed for release?

[@Flyer0245]

This is a sub 60$ product, a CPC schedule is not modeled.

[@UkraineStar77]

@@Flyer0245 ??? but why. Other sub 60 dollar or even freeware planes have this modelled. This is super easy to do if you dedicated some time and effort to it.

[@Flyer0245]

@@UkraineStar77 You have to ask the dev about that, I am just the pilot. The CPC is rudimentary modeled as time was spent on other stuff I guess.

@@UkraineStar77 Probably spent the time on more important elements, wait for someone to do some $100 region aircraft if you want every little system modelled

[@UkraineStar77]

@@sluflyer06 Except this is not a little system? It's a core system and really EASY to implement a simple logic for. The Majestic Q400 PILOT edition in the same price range has this done properly, as do most freeware planes even back in FS9. Why model a pressure scedule then in the first place when in flight for it to then magically "jump" on touchdown. It's a simple fix, it's feedback and should be aknowledged and fixed if they expect to actually sell this thing well. Same with the EFB not being removable and only on one side.
