You guys can beta test it for me. I would like it for Christmas, so please get to work and make sure that any issues are reported and sorted out by December 25. Cheers!

Sure, you buy me a license; I’ll flight test it and send you a report in order for you to determine if you should buy it for yourself.

I've checked YT for any user videos and still nada. I did watch the Just Flight video about the lighting plugin, as they call it. The cockpit looks pretty good, to me. The lighting is quite nice as well.

I'll be looking forward to some more comments from those who have taken the plunge.

Works great in V.R.! Pretty happy with it so far, a few glitches but I think this is a really nice plane so far. They already have a small update for it, hopefully Just Flight will maintain this plane and I think they will because they already put so much work into it.

FSElite has a "first look part 1" video up on Youtube here.

Looks rather nice tbh. Apart from the missing smile the modelling looks good. Would be nice to know how she flies as well.

So. The devil made me do it.. 😆

Got the aircraft. Doing a "maiden voyage" right now. Right of the bat there is one issue. It consistently levels off about 100ft below the altitude I set on the MCP. It feels nice to hand fly, but there is one thing that is maybe due to my Saitek Yoke and that is when I trim using the switch on the yoke it takes just one fast click to trim ALOT, making the nose either pitch up or down like crazy. Must be a setting or something? 

Also, when setting a V/S I find it hard to actually do this as you don't really get feedback when using the pitch switch at the center console. Maybe there is an easier way to do it? 

Anyone else got it?

EDIT: Never mind my comment on V/S. The current climb rate when clicking the button will be the climb rate the A/P tries to maintain. When using the Pitch switch you end up in "Pitch" mode. Duh. Too tired at the moment. Time to sleep.

I have to feel for Just Flight on the timing of this.  Had this been released a year earlier I imagine it would have generated much more interest/conversation (i’m judging based on this relatively short release thread and the lack of YouTube videos).  I would have bought it without a second thought even in the period where we knew MSFS was coming but we didn’t have a release date.  

I have to imagine that the splintering of the P3D customer base is challenging for these payware developers with multi-year development cycles that are generating released products now.  Obviously they would have had no way to know the release date of MSFS through most of the development.  

Having said all that, even thought I’ve bought almost nothing for P3D since MSFS was released, this aircraft may end up being an exception as I do really have a soft spot in my heart for the BAe-146.  Really hoping to read/see more feedback.

Hopefully this ends up being a success for Just Flight.

  One doesn't have to abandon MSFS to enjoy using P3D, just as one doesn't have to abandon P3D to enjoy using MSFS ... it's not an exclusive process to fly it's simply a choice.

Whilst that's true at a fundamental level, many people, me included, don't have the time or resources to maintain 2 sims as they'd like, so are forced by circumstance to jump one side of the fence or the other...

From comments I've read, it doesn't seem like it's worth buying right now. Someone said that the FMC's are tied together. Like, come on guys... how many times have devs tried this and the community has to push back? Seems like if you want a quirky classic jet with depth, you might as well buy the Leonardo MD80 for not much more.

There is only a fence if you make one.

@Martyn JF keep it up and best wishes for the future for this release. Always good to see "new " players within this segment of add-ons

Added this to my wish list. Going to keep an eye on it 🧐 who knows what Santa will bring 🎅 

I've set up a ticket for some help from JF but I thought I might seek advice from this wise group. O.K Bought it, downloaded it.. The installation instructions tell me to double click on the downloaded file and follow the prompts.The only way to do that /or anything is to mouse down to setup exe and hit that. That appears to set the installatin process in train.. great . Fire up p3d 4.5 select the vehicle;  so far so good. Then up pops a panel in poor resolution..with no pilot"s seat or any other detail,Then I view the exterior ,and there are huge portions of airframe and skin etc. missing.

What have I done wrong.???

If it is a stupid and bleedingly  obvious error on my part please feel free to kick me.😉.Would appreciate any advice. Cheers, Dan W

Thanks Rob,I've tried that but I'll have another crack at it. Cheers, Danw

Is there a discount for the previous version purchaser, I cant see one, is it just pay full price

If you are referring to the old 146 that was released several years ago, then I would not expect a discount when purchasing the new version. They are two completely different products.
