All,

 

Did anyone ever tweak POSKY's CRJ FDE ? I recall a bunch of posts when it came out mentioning the power settings in the FDE... I recall using it myself and that thing would take off in less distance than any airliner I've ever flown and climb like the space shuttle... I believe someone at POSKY had acknowledged the issue as well... Was any attempt ever made to correct it ? It's a shame because they made a beautiful model...

There was a long-running and acrimonious debate on the POSKY forums about this, back when they still existed. IIRC the designers insisted it was accurate, and a couple of real-world CRJ pilots backed them up. I take their word for it, but you do wonder why Bombardier built an aircraft with so much excess power: every actual CRJ flight I've made has been perfectly normal.

Hi Tim,

 

Thanks for taking the time to respond... Are the RJ's known to be rocket ships - as this one sure seems to get off the ground with a Maule like aptitude... I'm certainly no expert - it just seems to have more thrust to weight than any airliner I've ever flown... I was comparing it to POSKY's ERJ-145 - which in real life is known a be a bit of a joke due to it's poor speed and climb rate - but - the RJ not even remotely same league... I don't have a lot of experience with airliners... I had tried the CRJ a few times over the years and I always thought - "it can't really accelerate THAT fast"... If that's the real world performance - I'm good - I probably just need to work n my reduced thrust takeoff... Thanks for all the info - every little bit helps...

There is an email a year or so back when I posted about this and the answer was that in real life the CRJ7/9s depart with flaps 1 or 8 and takeoff thrust N1 at 90%. When I started to do this the takeoff with the POSKY CRJs were perfect. Try it out.

Hi Shez,

 

Thanks for the info - I'll mess with it some more... 90% - roger that - I'll give that a try... 'Ive been messing with the 900 most recently - as I'm a big US Air fan - and - she fits in well at KPHL... I was going to hobble together a better panel between the old SkyDecks panel and swapping out some gauges with ISGSims to gain an FMC... I would guess the real ship would have some type of power limiting auto throttle where you could set the %N1 you want - similar to the ERJ - or do they just manually set the throttle... Anyway - thanks for the response...

You may want to read up on power settings based on temperature, weights ect. Not sure how you fly it but some folks find unreal performance if you just firewall the throttles and let her rip. Not the way

its done. I'm not a real world jet pilot, but I do fly corporate twice a week and I sometimes fly up front with the pilots. They don't slam the throttles all the way up

When using the ISG gauges, particularly the FMS systems, be sure to read the manuals on setting up the ISG .ini files and aircraft profiles.

 

Also, you might be interested in looking at this information if any of the panel configuration if the POSKY FS9 CRJ200 is shared with the 700/900 series cockpits to get the ISG gauges used:
