Honestly, the best thing about this update is (beside the nice list of fixes): future updates will be covered via an updater analogous to the one for the AS Bus. It was always a pain to completely reinstall the CRJ after each update, adding again all liveries, reconfiguring the camera settings and so on.

My favorite feature is that I'm no longer having CTDs. Right after I installed a full version of 4.3, I installed the CRJ 1.06 and my flights ended in a CTD. I just completed one and everything went smoothly.

Oh cool, CRJ is on my wishlist for p3d4.3 more inclined to pick this up if update is working as it should. 

Wow...those are lot of things which got fixed.  Great job Aerosoft!!!

A good little aircraft just got a lot gooder.  😁

Kudos to Aerosoft!

Indeed... that's quite a changelog.

Well done, Aerosoft!

SP1 running very smooth... DO NOT miss out on this new GEM  😎

Support for  Mark Foti's CDU  and DAVE !

 

Please keep us updated on this airplane.  It has been on my watch list but haven't purchased because of all the bugs reported.

 

Thanks

 

PS:  Does it track LNAV OK?

“[Added] Geo-blocking algorithm to make sure the CRJ CTDs where Frank D. lives”

 

Who is Frank D and what has he done to irritate Aerosoft?! 😀

LOL! Nice find! They're not without humor at Aerosoft... 

Honest, I would have thought it would have been Hans, who would get that treatment.

I've been flying the CRJ SP1 all weekend and I am very happy with the fixes. Plane flies great now. Follows LNAV great, ILS works great. Holding at around 84.1 N1 now keeps speed nice and steady. I was upset like many of you but the SP1 update has now added the CRJ to my rotation. I have about 6 flights in it from this weekend and besides one or two very minor bugs its joy to fly.

Yep just made my little departure test in LSZB Moni2B departure! This one failed the last year all the time! But now, rock solid!!
Two dumbs up, so far.

Indeed an impressive list of fixes!

Now the q. is how long will it take for PC Aviator to upload the update....
