(The lack of a navigation display on the 146 is the main point that prevents me from enjoying it - that's no criticism of the product as it's realistic. The tiny map that appears in the radar screen is non-adjustable and doesn't help much). With the RJ, we'll have all the fun of the 4 engined Jumbolino but with decent RNAV, VNAV and situational awareness through the EFIS. The RJs use the same Honeywell MCP as older 737NGs. ....then of course there's AUTOTHROTTLE! 😉 I have to agree with you about the nav display. The fact that we have to self vector a lot of the time in the sim is made much easier by being able to visualise where you are in relation to the nav course/localiser etc without having to twirl a bunch of courses and VORs and build a mental picture. Autothrottle also takes a lot of the workload away. I passed on the 146/F28 for precisely the reason that they’d barely get flown. Am very excited about the RJ and Fokker 100/70 though.
April 14, 20242 yr I am what could be termed a "lazy flyer", so autopilots, autothrottles and NDs are a basic requirement! The increased level of automation gives me more time to enjoy the scenery....and let's face it, looking at the gorgeous scenery is a rather large part of the immersion in MSFS. That being the case, I am really looking forward to the JustFlight Avro RJ.

April 14, 20242 yr Hm very colourful and artsy airbrush-style liveries we have here. Not these typical superboring airliner paint schemes (99% white 1% black airline text in Times New Roman 😄 ) almost all planes have. The RJ and also the 737 has a lot of beautyful liveries.
