So looks like well be receiving  the Concorde and 146 before all other upcoming paywares?

It's a piece of artwork.

The texturing looks incredible!

3d model looks awesome, what about system depth, should we expect, Aerosoft, PMDG or Fenix level?

As an airliner (albeit a small one) the 146 was right on the edge between old school dials and modern computer-aided.  As someone said above, the thrust management was quite ahead of its time and is well modelled.  The FMS and general navigation is much closer to an earlier-era all dial affair.

The systems modelling in the X-plane version is pretty good (there is video somewhere of a real-life 146 pilot doing a flight from cold and dark back to shutdown in it where he points out the main differences between it and the real one...pretty close, tbh).  The sim's flight manual is reassuringly comprehensive.  JustFlight's challenge, though, was having to follow the X-plane general FMS logic which gave rise to a few compromises (in fact having an FMS at all in the real aircraft was apparently a retro-fit.  The early marks didn't have one).  This was improved in later updates but I suspect is still a touch compromised. 

It will be interesting if that area has similar issues with MSFS or whether JustFlight have been able to bypass ASOBO's FMS and start from scratch. 

But it is a pretty unique experience to be flying a full-blown four-engined jet but where for landing you have to properly fly it down, juggling the trim, throttle, flaps, etc. like in a Piper!  Because it absolutely won't land without embarrassment or worse if/when you get it wrong - but VERY satisfying when you get it right!

Not to mention the rather unique feature of extending the tail cone spoilers just before landing.   

I have liked this aircraft since my first ride on it. Such a cute little plane with that high wing and four medium sized hairdryers underneath. 🥰

Will get this the second it is released. 

Love this shot - 

 

 

 

I fell in love with the 146 as a kid.

I also love the not so popular Dornier 328 Jet.

Was never any decent models of it in flight sims though.🙁

Shared with the Blackburn Buccaneer and Fokker F28.

The 146 has a strengthened undercarriage for rough surface landings. Carbon brakes too, second only to Concorde. A military version didn't pass the demonstrator stage unfortunately as no orders were placed.

 

I only had one flight in a 146 - a BA connector flight to London - but I remember a quiet and comfortable experience in a lovely blue leather seat.😊

And we’re getting an F.28 as well!

Looks amazing , hope its optimized very well, looks very heavy on resources

I went through a phase of having to fly to Belgium from the UK every week (for two years!).  At the time, the regular European city hoppers were the 146 and the Dash 8-400.  The regular commuters, me included, used to pray for a 146.  It was like the difference between soaring on the back of an albatross and a house brick  😄

It's me or do the overhead white switches looks exactly like the one on the Jetstream 41?

And Martyn from JF chiming in:

The MSFS version has everything from the P3D version plus a lot more, so is even more realistic and immersive in every way. We make every effort to cater for simmers of all experience levels (e.g. ability to select aircraft states, full MSFS checklist support) but this is a ‘Pro’ aircraft so is designed to match the FCOMs as closely as possible.

We’ll be posting some videos in the coming weeks which should demonstrate that well.

There will be an FMS like in our P3D and XP11 versions but it won’t be reusing the same technology/code from either.

Bullishly aiming for April. The dev team are confident that can happen. No guarantees of course but that’s what we’re working towards

Looks great. Glad it doesn't have failures and is not study level. I want to fly the thing rather than simulate failures and run through lots of checklists. Plus it adds a premium to the price of the product.

Very interesting, thanks

That's how I like devs to communicate, the closer to release, the more infos, screenshots, videos, etc...

Plus we have a release estimate.
