I cannot for the life of me understand the negativity from some in this thread, The aircraft is not even released yet! If you don't like it, don't buy it Simples !

Just imagine the negativity once it is released! lol

Unfortunately, most of this thread will either be deleted or hidden from those who need to know before they buy. We have a responsibility as a community to inform the uninformed.

Why would it be deleted?

Ironic given the state of the MSFS AP! 

Now we can only wonder if Aerosoft consulted Asobo on autopilot

Did you guys the see proposed prices for the CRJ from Matijis comment here:

Quote

We have decided on pricing:

• The CRJ 550/700 will cost €42 (plus your local vat when applicable). 
• The CRJ 900/100 will cost €16.75 (plus your local vat when applicable).
  The CRJ 900/1000 will require the  CRJ 550/700 to be installed on the system. 

 

The product will sell on our shop and will be uploaded to the MS InGame Store at the same time. When it will be available there depends on how fast Microsoft can handle it. It is at this moment not planned to be sold on any other shop.

That is cheap indeed !

Matijis is a class act - his involvement in the forums is a breath of fresh air imo

Not so much cheap as an intelligent choice. I stated the other day on this very thread that it should be exactly around that price point (i.e. sub fifty quid) in order to garner more sales by not scaring any users off. With any luck that will set a bit of a precedent.

On a funnier note, given what was said about the preceding version being called 'professional' because of the P3D licensing, I dare Aerosoft to market this one as the CRJ Unprofessional. 🤣

Aerosoft seems to be working really hard to get this out soon. They're going to make out quite well since there's currently no competition in the payware airliner market. Hopefully there are no major issues with the CRJ as this will likely gain them many new customers who are new to flight sim, and help their reputation.

If it really is released shortly suggests that it uses the Sims AP and FMS functionality.

Why would otherwise PMDG, Leonardo or FSLabs not be able to release their aeroplanes earlier?

I'm curious.

This ^^^^

I found that pretty interesting too.  I guess the proof will be in the pudding when it’s released.

Which is the opposite of the statement from Randazzo over at PMDG...

I have no major expectations for this aircraft if it uses the Sims AP and FMS functionality.

Ditto!!!

 

Even Aboso can't figure out how to fix this!

 

It's like the blind leading the blind..LOL!

MSFS is the present and future for me, reason why I will happily buy this and support further development for the platform. I have the P3D version and it is not as bad as people say...

Yup, they are going to clean up the market with this release.

What I find hilariously funny in this and the dozens of other threads about Aerosoft is how a lot of folks are in shock about Aerosoft's business approach, even though Mr. Kok spells it out at every opportune moment.

Their products are marketed to what might be called the mass market +, that is to say, they want to reach the kid with a passing interest in planes and simming as well as the average avsim simmer who doesn't always have the time to fiddle around with 125 knobs or turn 345 dials.

And they are very good at hitting exactly this sweet spot in the addon market.

Consequently, people hate on Aerosoft, buy their products, hate some more, and round and round it goes.

Kind of amusing to watch.

I think the recent hate is related to Aerosoft business approach and the fiasco that happened last week in their forums.

Matjias has mentioned many times it has custom autopilot , basically is the same as their P3D version in terms of systems

Just maybe, Aerosoft has helped Asobo to fix their AP code. We can but hope.
