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?

No mention of LNAV that I could see in the list on this thread, but:

I've been flying the CRJ SP1 all weekend

You are a beta tester?

You wanted everything to work perfectly out the box without community/customer feedback?

Even the best of the best don't get it right all the time.

[NorwegianAviator 60]

Haven't flown this plane since the first couple of versions. Does anyone know if they have improved the terrible ground handling in this plane?

No. But 2 or 3 folks were allowed to try it out.

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

I'll be a contrarian grumpy b-tard & suggest it perhaps shouldn't have been released needing all those things fixed, & I'm on P3D v4.2 & not inclined to go 4.3 just yet.😐

 

[odourboy 1,289]

Nice set of fixes. Does it run any smoother? Not that I find it unusable, but its the worst model in my fleet for stuttering when the going gets a bit tough.

I don't understand where I get the hotfix updates and SP1...

I currently have 1.0.5. I've gone to the aerosoft forums trying to find links to 1.0.6 and then SP1...I'm having trouble finding them. Is it possible to point me in the right direction (links or PM links to me)?

I don't have it, but I would think like most major updates you would need to download the full installer from your account

[JRBarrett 3,070]

SP1 will require downloading the full installer. If you purchased the aircraft directly from Aerosoft, it will be available now in your account.

If you purchased elsewhere, check with the original vendor to see if they have the update.

It’s recommended to uninstall any older version before installing SP1.

SP1 will come with the Aerosoft Updater, which will make future updates very quick and easy. The updater is also used for the new Aerosoft Airbus Professional product line.

Ah ok. I'll have to wait for the update to appear at the web store I purchased from. Hopefully, they will have it soon.

Ok. Well maybe that's why I had a crash to desktop after 15 minutes flying with this update. I'll uninstall and reinstall fresh.

[DaveCT2003 1,820]

The next update should include the new Connected Flight Deck (Shared Cockpit)!

 

 

[westman 257]

Its really good now , like the  NAV-to-NAV transfer function, the only thing i complain is Star with DME arc can be tricky hope they solve it to next SP, the A319 works much better.
