Thanks for advice. I posted on aerosoft forum. Will see what gives!

OK I think I have figured it out. It appeared to be packs where not on, I thought if they are extinguished they are ON by default, but its not a case. I had to press them on again . It's kind of hard to see if they on or off unless they are lit!

Yup, that was my point too. Although if anyone can think that far back, when the famously long-delayed previous flight sim CRJ came out and there was an immediate issue with it, the developer wasn't able to fix it because 'it was a weekend and he was on holiday'. Anyone remember that? Top notch service and planning that was.

I do remember that. And other replies stating he couldn't look at it until he got home (as he was on the road, working I assume.) But then he started carrying around a computer with his development tools and things got marginally better.

As others have pointed out, I find it interesting that the same problems plaguing the P3D CRJ X and CRJ PRO are appearing in the MSFS 2020 DLC. So much for learning from your mistakes. I agree with others, this is a port-over from P3D.

I'm getting hang of it. Love it more and more

Anyone get the EFB to work for updating fuel and payload?  Mine seems to update fuel but doesn't do anything visible in the sim's fuel/payload window for the payload weight.  

 

Here's an example:

I'm having issues using Hotas Warthog throttle.  No other plane has done this before, but when I move the hardware throttle, in the sim the throttle doesn't move.  The white slider moves in the settings and no other aircraft behaves like this.  Its all calibrated in the settings and never had an issue with this in any other aircraft -any ideas why its non responsive?

If you don't see the numbers moving in the CRJ Throttle Calibration area, when you move your throttles, check to see if your Throttles are configured in MSFS under  Throttle Axis 1  and Throttle Axis 2 and not under Throttle Axis 1 (0-100%) and Throttle Axis 2 (0-100%).  If they are, just create a new profile for CRJ.  

I don't know why it matters, but it worked for me. I found this solution on the Aerosoft forum when I could not get my Thrustmaster Airbus throttles to work in the CRJ. 

Good luck to you.

That's FSX not MSFS correct?

Nope. FSX is Microsoft Flightsimulator X

It seems like it only grabs fuel but not payload. I tweak payload manually

Wow, trying to finish setting up controllers for a maiden flight and found a new quirk.  The CRJ doesn't utilize the sim's "toggle thrust reversers" keybind or the other one where you can hold a button and move the throttle.  They've actually said as much on their forums and if you don't have a reverse axis on your throttle the work around is the "decrease throttle" keybind which just instantly applies full reverse thrust.  The only way to turn it back off after is to move the throttle itself as well out of idle just a hair.

Yeah indeed, that what really makes my eyes roll. I mean I am a software engineer and I understand the frustration of Hans but still you can't just shutdown a thread with that "I am tired, locking the thread" lol. I kinda feel regretting buying from Aerosoft, this experience it reminds me excatly with the awesome support (sarcasm) when I got the airbus for P3D, lock the thread with "we believe it has been resolved" without even confirming from me if it was really fixed 😃

Aerosoft doesn’t want their support forum to devolve into endless debates about the current performance issues affecting MSFS that have arisen since SU3. That is better left to the official MSFS forums.

Make sure throttle 1 is "Throttle Axis 1" and throttle 2 is "Throttle axis 2" Do not use throttle axis 1and 2 1-100% Thats what worked for me mate. Also you have to hit the little red switch at the base of the throttle and move the throttle a little forward to ungate it.

@mrfilbert Thank you for the great tutorial video. I never used CRJ in FSX or P3D, but now I have a good starting point. She's quite needy with everything that is happening around take off descent/final.

Again, I am all fine if they want to close it but their attitude of closing the thread with that message is totally unprofessional, "I am tired of it so I am closing it", is this really professional? He let me feel like he is doing us a charity. As I mentioned before, if he said, "look this issue is hard to troubleshoot due to the performance issues with SU3, I am closing this thread and we will revisit it after the update", I would agree with him and I would understand, this issue is super annoying.101 dealing with users

I agree that that reaction is definitely not professional while I can understand that that don’t want to take the blame for MSFS issues which I can sort of confirm as I see no issues at all after SU3 and the CRJ, just enroute EDDH to EDXW and smooth flight, not even stutters at EDDH let alone now descending into EDXW. So the situation and combination of SU3 and CRJ release is surely tricky at least but indeed we should wait until MSFS addressed the performance issue they at least acknowledged in the meantime

And that is thing, few days ago on the same day of the release, it was smooth but then yesterday, I had that issue where the fps drops and don't recover, however I have been using the FBW with the autopilot branch which is heavy as it is way more complex and a lot of WASM code there but I didnt see this issue, although stutters but I think FBW team is aware of it. Anyway, I am convinced as well is a sim issue with SU3, I hope Asobo will issue a hotfix soon and then we can revisit this issue.

Hi to all CRJ users and i am coming with a question: Does this plane work like it should ??

Yesterday evening and this morning i spend a lot of time to read the Forum at Aerosoft about the CRJ and holy,  there are a lot of people having bad problems and issues with this plane and MSFS.

This scared me that mutch  to hold me

back to order this plane at the moment.

So what are your findings with the usage of this plane ?

cheers 😉
