A good pilot uses his altimeter to know when he's at 10,000 feet. A GREAT pilot uses the cabin crew announcements to know when he's at 10,000 feet.

Real world CRJ pilot here. Normally the hydraulic pumps should be set to Auto / On. All switches in the down position. ON position on the auto switches are placed ON during abnormal operations only. Nice video on you part. Well done. As far as climb profiles.. Set by the carrier. At Skywest we use 200 KIAS initially then 250 KIAS to 10K. Then a 250/290 to .74 climb in the transition up to final cruise altitude. But of course in the flight simulator world you can create your own! The turbulence button introduces lag into the autopilot system. And that will slow everything down as far as control response when the autopilot is on. Works pretty well most of the time except in Mountain Wave. Also be sure it's turned off before entering the terminal area otherwise we'll be too much lag and you overshoot courses. Should also be turned off during climbing and descending so you don't overshoot altitudes

[@SocalThero]

Nice seeing a flight that didn't take place in a sunny day and mixing it up a bit in the rain. Thank you for showcasing this aircraft Jeff as it is very sleek looking both inside and out!

Hey Jeff, haven’t fully watched the vid yet just want you to know that I appreciate your vids!

[@flymoore]

Always turn APU off in CRJ and let it wind down before hitting PWR/Fuel button. APU door opens and closes with the pwr button.

[@botrbro]

It is a very nice aircraft. I think I remember the AeroSoft saying that the reason there is no Weather/Terrain radar in is is due to limitations on the SDK that they are from Asobo. As soon as they are able to, they will implement it. Same probably applies to the wipers and rain on windows.

[@kevinphilpot3270]

This plane is not easy to learn. I've done four flights now and every one has had an issue. There's a lot to remember and the plane gets ahead of you sometimes. Mostly struggling with maintaining the right speed with flaps on approaches. Auto-throttle will spoil you

[@peterspatz6918]

Best is not to try speed toooo exact and hunt values in decent and aproach. Try to stay around 150 and 140 at the inner marker.

[@bosborne220]

I was raised in Southeast Missouri and lived in Springfield, Missouri for almost 30 years. My wife and I moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico in September of 2020 to care for her mom. As for the graphics of Springfield in this game, top notch! Love your work! 🍻

[@lukeharwin1756]

I work for GoJet modding old Mesa CRJ 700s into 550s. They definitely have their quirks as far as the electronics go and they are extremely tail heavy. Aerosoft did any amazing job with the detail on this aircraft. Everything looks very spot on.

[@hoagieflyer]

Heya Jeff! Great Video! RJ driver here. during your preflight procedure, we don't select anything on the FCP. Instead we select the TO/GA buttons on the Thrust Levers. The FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator) on your PFD should read TO/TO (Takeoff/Takeoff) This will give you an initial pitch attitude for takeoff.

[@hoagieflyer]

Another I noticed. Any yellow caution messages mean that something is not on. For takeoff, your Yaw Dampers were not engaged. You should see no Yellow or Red messages for TO and on the other screen you should see L/R REV ARMED (Green) and SEAT BELTS ON (White) MAN XFLOW (White) Takeoff profile: (this is general) V1, Rotate (Pitch 3 degrees per second into the Flight Director for TO) "Positive rate" Gear up, Speed Mode, HDG/NAV Mode (Set speed to V2+10) Climb at this until 1000ft AGL then select 200 or VT whichever is higher. Flap retraction schedule: Flaps 20 Takeoff (Above 1000ft select 200knots or VT whichever is faster) V2+12 Call flaps 8, at VT -15 Call Flaps up and then the PM performs the after takeoff checklist. Hope this helps with future departures!

[@JomarKeyla]

Just a heads up… on CRJ 550-700-900 you want HYD pumps in AUTO and 3A ON and also YAW damp is always ON… very entertaining even for a CRJ driver like myself

Jesus dude, how do you know all this stuff? I'm a CRJ FO and everything from terminology to procedures is really quite impressive. Perfect? No, but hot damn it's head and shoulders above what any street pilot would know about the CRJ. Good stuff man.

[@jfavignano]

Been studying! Def not the best at this airplane yet but every flight I learn more and more. I have a PPL but haven’t flown since 2016. Practice in these sims gets you there for sure. Thanks for checking out my channel 😎

[@stanleychu2380]

Jeff always makes everything look so classy, smooth and professional. After flying the Aerosoft CRJ for a bit, I've become paranoid that I may be doing something wrong. On every take off of the CRJ my pitch (nose of the plane) always shoots up to 20+ degrees by itself even though I followed instructions to set the Take off trim properly (based on weight). It just feels like there is so much thrust that the plane naturally likes to pitch up. I may be doing something wrong, but rewatching this video over and over again, I can see that Jeff certainly has his plane under control.

[@TobiasRieper047]

Yeeeeeeeessssss, i was hoping you'd put out a video of the CRJ(s)! I was hoping you'd do a review or flights with them! Definitely want to see more of these jet in future videos! As always, great flying Jeff! Hope you, Nicole and the pets are staying safe too! Love ya brother!

[@schwayzedayze]

I'm sure someone else has said it, but if you hadn't seen it yet. It's "Right Alt" + Left click for the screen pop-outs. "Left Alt" does not work. Took me forever to figure that out. Hope it helps.

[@jfavignano]

Thank you!

[@michaelorsini9695]

Jeff...you're a genius! To be able to play all these games at such a high level is the mark of a genius. I'm retiring from teaching after 30 years in a few months. I'm getting a new pc to be able to run MSFS and X Plane. Your videos will be a great help to me. Thanks so much.

[@paydonfletcher9478]

I work on CRJs they are small and interesting. but over all great planes. and interesting to work on. it looks so realistic even the cargo looks accurate. 500 is a basic business jet 700 seats more and is more of a daily passenger plane. thanks Jeff. making my work feel more appreciated.

[@letsgothriftshopping84]

[@planenutok]

I'm in springfield several times a year. Also go thru Lebanon several time yearly to go trout fishing up there. I've worked on CRJs for 11 years. This model looks amazing. One thing I noticed is your Hyds are supposed to be all forward, Auto, On, Auto, Auto. So your electric pumps 1 and 2 don't run the whole time only when needed.

[@thecrustycrib]

Whats up Jeff, hope your having a wonderful day today. Continue to enjoy life for us because your living it right now bud.

At 17:39 the wipers are not wiping away precipitation (rain) at all. So much for progress. I do applaud you for mentioning it at 19:14. Come to think of it, my Train Simulator 2018-19-20 and Train Simulator World all have effective wipers that actually remove the rain, snow, and sleet. As a bonus, some of them have delay wipe mode. Very immersive in inclement weather to be honest. This special effect should of been implemented right from the start. Quite surprising that this effect went "under the radar" considering the superb detailing of the CRJ's. I do own many fine Aerosoft Software, for FS2002-FS9-FSX-FSX SE and Prepar3D. Aerofly FS-1-2 are also in my library. This is quite an omission in brand new FS2020. More so in a quality addon such as this one. Well deserved "thumbs up" on your informative video presentation. CYUL

[@nocluewhatimdoing4543]

For the pop-outs to work, you have to use the right ALT key. Literally the one on the right side...which also happens to be the correct ALT key

[@MegaDaniel311]

I work on CRJ’s and ERJ’s and these graphics are extremely accurate and I’m happy

[@briancollins4569]

10:15 you don’t select anything until in the air. Positive rate, gear up, speed mode, 400’ heading or nav, 600’ AP, at 1000’ then you can bring the speed back up to 200 and you will start accelerating towards an appropriate speed to retract flaps. It’s amazing how in depth and realistic the FMS is! Edit: in fact I’d say to leave flight director alone on ground as a way to remind you to hit TOGA before takeoff, as it will come up automatically.

[@codyhart1905]

I have about 3000 hours on the old CRJ now a 175 capt. Excellent work on this

From North Carolina but went to SMSU (now Mo. St.) for one year in the 90's. Missed the ocean too much and came home to finish school.

[@carlperry3631]

The air conditioner comes on when you close the doors. Not halfway down the runway when everybody is sweating. This is not a Cessna and the Yaw dampener comes on before taxi. Also turn the AP off first before cutting fuel. There is a reason for ON/OFF of APU and a separate fuel button. Follow the checklist of the EFB more closely

[@jfavignano]

LOL

[@shawnlewis2709]

The details are amazing. They did a very good job. It brings me back to when I use to work at MSP for Swissport then DGS. For Swissport, I was an aircraft refueler. And for DGS I was a Ramp Agent. Where would work on CRJ 100-900 on the regional ramp.

[@Lamblughini]

FYI: After you enter your location into the FMS, you can 'copy' the coordinates by hitting the tab on the right after the coordinates for KSFG, hitting the right tab next to the blank coordinates to set your position so you don't have to tab to the next page.

I had the chance to do a couple of flights in a CRJ sim at my university and absolutely fell in love with it. There's so much going on all the time because of the shorter hops with an airplane lacking complex automation like the bigger airliners have.
