October 23, 201510 yr I've just joined Vatsim and considering moving up to a small regional jet. I would like it to be in the 50 passenger or so range, so I'm thinking a CRJ-200. I found talk of one of Facebook, but no posts since 2014. I know that Aerosoft is bringing out a 700/900, but I'm not looking to go that big. Can anyone recommend a good CRJ-200 for Vatsim, or something in that range? Thanks, Ernie
October 25, 201510 yr The Wilco/Feel There CRJ was a poor product when it first came out years ago. I definitely wouldn't touch it! The only good regional jet for MSFS is the QW BAe 146/ARJ. Like the real thing, it's a bit quirky but it has good systems modeling and an excellent VC
October 25, 201510 yr The Feelthere EJETS series (E170, 175, 190, and 195) are pretty good as well. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
October 25, 201510 yr As well, the Feelthere ERJ 135 145 are not too bad either. It was a shame about their CRJ as was no where near as godd as these.
October 25, 201510 yr Other than the badly flawed Wilco CRJ-200, there is no other 200 available in the FSX world, and it is unlikely there ever will be. However, Aerosoft is quite close to releasing their new CRJ 700/900 add-on. It looks like it will be a top-quality product. There is an excellent CRJ-200 pay ware add-on for X-Plane, but it is extremely doubtful that any developer will expend the effort to make a 200 for FSX/P3D for the simple reason that the 200 model has been largely phased out by real world operators in favor of the 700 and 900 versions. There are still CRJ-200s in use, but fewer and fewer with each passing year. Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.

October 25, 201510 yr There is a freeware CRJ-200 from IRIS Simulations which isn't bad. Just type "IRIS Easter Eggs" into a search engine and you'll find the website. You can add the default CRJ-700 virtual cockpit to this plane as it uses an FSX model.

I thought the Aerosoft CRJ was close to release last month but they have delayed, so if the OP really wants something now, I wouldn't suggest waiting for it, who knows how long it can take for them to get it released.

Really isn't much choice, since it is the only payware CRJ currently in development. Of course, there are other non-CRJ regional jets on the market, like the Feel There Embraers - I have the 175/195 and they are not bad at all. I don't think it will be too much longer for the Aerosoft Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.

I agree I would wait for the aerosoft crj a shame it was delayed again.

October 26, 201510 yr Author Unless I want to wait three months for the CRJ, it appears that my best immediate options are the 175/195 or 135/145.. Fortunately both are on sale at SimMarket until November 1st. As for the Aerosoft CRJ, we'll see what January brings. :-) Thanks for the great input. Ernie
October 27, 201510 yr QW146 - excellent pocket liner Forgot about the QW146 never bought it looks like a very nice package. Cesar Martinez AMD 7800X3D RTX5080 NZXT N7 B650E | G.Skill 32GB DDR5 Samsung 980 Pro 2TB | Crucial MX500 (2×) | Crucial P3 Plus Monitor: Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 QD-OLED
October 27, 201510 yr Forgot about the QW146 never bought it looks like a very nice package. A little fps heavy and a handful to fly managing all the systems but quite fun.
