ILS is still a hit or miss, sometimes the FD will command the right pitch attitude, sometimes it wants to send you to space. I dont understand why we're still having issues with this after this plane has been out for so long. I am not a developer so I dont know what it takes to get it right, but there are many other add-ons out there that can fly an approach on profile pretty accurately. It's a shame because otherwise Aerosoft has done a good job (Although I wish they would simulate a bit more than just day to day operations, but it is what it is) with the CRJ

RNAV is not supported normally in the CRJ, so choose the VOR or NBD approach 

thanks but anybody knows how to use properly the VNAV button ? thanks

Its very hard to say what your doing wrong but in cruise you should be in MAN not CLIMB.

PM me your email and i will sent you my walk through, hopefully it will help Tomaz.

I know but I don't even have a chance to put it in MAN because it never levels off. Anyway, it shouldn't loose power on climb either.

PM sent.

RNAV and RNP approaches are supported just fine, but no RF (radius to fix) legs.

Our fleet does not have the VNAV button unfortunately, so I can not tell you the proper procedures. But according to the FMS manual you should be able to have VNAV enabled all the way down to the threshold for RNAV approaches that have published LPV or LNAV/VNAV minima. I'd imagine you have it on for descent, arm approach mode as if for an ILS and it will switch the vertical mode from VPATH to VPG (vertical path glide). Though again, I am not completely sure.

I've had this pitch up problem as well. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's just a bug that could be showing up at certain airports.

And how do you check the level of performance required for a RNP specific procedure?

Not fully sure I understand the exact question. But, a regular RNP approach is usually down to RNP 0.3, which the CRJ can do in the final approach segment. Any stricter RNP like RNP 0.1 is usually limited to RNP AR approaches, which the CRJ can not do.  Depending on the chart provider there might also be different minima listed for different RNP levels.

In the real plane the FMS simply will not show RNP procedures it can not fly, such as those with RF legs. Aerosoft has stated that they are unable to filter their/the sim nav database that way.

Thanks for the explanation!

I don't fly this one much but when I do two things always happen.

1. When I reach cruise the airplane remains in nose up position and starts loosing speed. I then start engaging and disengaging the autopilot, choosing lower altitude and stuff like so the plane does not stall.

Are you using VS-Mode for climbing to your cruise altitude? In that case, the plane tries to keep the climbing rate you set it to and will trade speed for maintaining that rate which may lead to an stall. In that case you need to descent, rebuild speed and climb back to your cruising altitude. To prevent allt of that you should always choose speed mode, as mentioned in this tutorial video by The Dude (starting from 19:00 min).

Only use VS for descents, SPEED Mode is for climb to cruise. I sent him a walk through so hopefully he will be good from now on.

Yes, thank you! I managed to do a flight without any issues. I have no idea what I did differently but I guess there was something.

Great to hear and am very happy for you and happy to help Tomaz. Enjoy!

2. When on approach and the airplane intercepts the GS, instead of going down the nose goes up again and I always loose the glideslope and I have to fly it manually - pitching heavily down to intercept it and fly the approach. 

I haven't encountered your 1st problem but when I see that the aircraft is struggling to climb I usually level off and disregard whatever cruising altitude Simbrief might have suggested. If I have to maintain climb power or higher to maintain speed I'll drop a few thousand feet of altitutde.

On your 2nd point I have encountered this before and am at a loss as to what causes it. At that point I hit AP disconnect and hand fly the approach.
