By the way it seems like CRJ doesn't pick up icing where WT CJ4 does

It most certainly does pick up icing.

I saw a live stream yesterday where the pilot had to land with a 12° pitch up angle because the whole airframe was basically a block of ice and he had forgot to turn on the protection systems.

Was there visualization of icing on leading edges?

I'm not sure. I just saw the part where he noticed what was going on while being in the cockpit.

I wonder why they chose this method since it diverges from every other airplane in the sim? Why are they departing from the rest of the sim in this way?

It works great for throttles like the Virtualfly TQ6 that have a detent on the throttle axis.  I would normally have to program all of that in FSUIPC (which the CRJ doesn’t seem to like).  

Obviously not perfect for people without a reverse axis with a detent, but great for those that do.  Maybe a user option is required.

Not visually, but if you have full icing enabled in the sim (not visual only), it will definitely be affected aerodynamically.

Wow. I just tried to shoot some ILS approaches with this. I apologize to everyone I mentally said "give it a chance" to. What a dumpster fire. The autopilot can't hold an altitude, capture a glideslope, hold a steady VS. I mean, man it's bad. I'm not gonna cry over spending $50 but it is a complete train wreck.

Thanks.  I also realized my trims and Yaw Damper were not engaged and this causes the A/P to not turn on.  Thanks again for the input.

You should get three caution messages telling you that stab trim, Mach trim and yaw dampers are not engaged. Did you get those? If not, it’s a bug.

Write that in Aerosoft fourms and they will either blame it on you or blame it on the sim and lock the thread. Welcome to Aerosoft blameland 😆

I KNOW! My first experience with them. not a positive one.

While I also don’t like their blaming others I would like to point out what was mentioned in another post: Hans/AS will look into a new GS logic over the weekend. Fine for me except they should have done it from the very beginning - instead of blaming beta testers which told other planes have the same issue and that’s why leave it like that.

Yeah and that really made me wondering, at first they were blaming us and then blaming beta testers. What is worse of it, he is last comment "I am fed up and I will code it over the weekend", oh man what a charity work they have done to us, we should be grateful for that lol. This is one of the reasons that we really need fresh blood developers in MSFS.

I don't want to go against the flow of this discussion, but there is no doubt the latest FS2020 update must carry some of the blame.

Really, Hans is a great developer, Mathijs commented they've worked at least 9 months on the project, and if not during the entire project but at least a certain period, they've even got daily assistance of Asobo developers during this time. This can't be wrong.

Actually, in another topic today I was wondering about why a HUD can't work as expected in FS2020 and I was saying it must be the rendering engine, not the SDK: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/597385-when-will-we-get-some-more-military-aircraft-for-msfs/page/2/#comments

All this is really confusing to me as a 3rd party developer.

I hate dev bashing and am not doing that at all. I paid my $50, found it unflyable, and parked it. I will cheerfully pull it back out once they get it sorted. It is a work of art visually. And if it never flies well that's the price you pay for being on the bleeding edge. 

Now, go get to work on those Garmin units will ya! 🙂

Yes, there will be a CAS caution message for yaw damper, stab trim and Mach trim if these systems are not engaged. Someone trying to learn the plane for the very first time might easily overlook them or not understand the significance.
