The official release numbering will be “2.1” not “3”. It includes all the improvements of V 2.0 released earlier this year plus a brand new flight model making use of CFD.

Like 2.0, 2.1 will be a free update for all those that own the original CRJ

I don’t fly the CRJ but do work on them as a mechanic and am a technical consultant, but the 3 r/w CRJ pilots on the test team report that the flight performance is now extremely close to the real aircraft in all flight regimes. One of the test pilots, “YourSimCFI” has been working extensively with the FDE developer to test and refine its performance. 

It works very well in MSFS 2024, but it is not yet an “official” 2024 release with 2024-specific features like working windshield wipers - that will come later and (I assume) will be numbered 3.0.

Hans and the test team have been working very hard on this since last autumn when 2.0 development started. We have been through 79 beta test builds. The last two were just to nail down correct autopilot disconnect logic. (When disconnecting via the yoke disconnect button, the alert tone sounds continuously until silenced with a second press. If disconnecting by pressing the bar on the AP control panel or by accidentally actuating stabilizer trim, the alert sounds only three times).

It’s a small thing that only a r/w CRJ pilot would even notice, but we are really striving for as much r/w accuracy as possible.

With the new FDE, hand flying and takeoff and landing performance is superb.

 

I saw on the video by YourSimCFI that with the new FDE update it now has the proper AOA when in approach, did Hans do anything about the HGS layout? On V1 and V2 when on Final approach the HGS is basically unusable since all of the cues go off the bottom of the HGS and are not able to be seen, unfortunately in the video he was in the right seat and not the left with the HGS down.  The last post here by "amahran" shows exactly what I am talking about https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/172143-hud-placement/#comment-1087084

 

Thanks,

Yes DIR INTC has been improved also.

when can we expect it roughly?

I’m not sure. I think Hans is sending an update to Microsoft perhaps this week. If so, I would expect a general release shortly afterwards, but that is NOT official.

Thanks, 

I don’t think anything was done with the HGS, but I have never used it so I can’t say if any changes were made. I can check tomorrow.

I just did a quick test.
I do not use GSX.
Did screenshots if needed.


RWY Engines running
Taxi to parking
APU ON during taxi
APU Gens AUTO
Park brake

Engines shut down
Auto xfer to APU powering CRJ 


EFB Chocks set
EFB Doors / cargo Open
EFB External power Avail

APU OFF
Ext power Auto xfer powering CRJ

All ok

Thanks for that! This might solve my issue, Maybe I am missing  the "Auto xfer to APU powering CRJ" step. What does this entail? Do I have to press the Green "AVAIL" light to bring the EFB to life so I can Set the Chocks, start the GPU, Open Doors/Cargo etc.?

OK, I believe I should be doing the following:

1. APU PWR FUEL button push once, the APU then performs a self test.

2. Push the APU START/STOP button

Just checking.

Have other pilots reported this with CRJ v2?

Which ILS approach had the problem?

Notes:

I have not purchased MSFS2024.

I do have CRJ v2 in MSFS2020.

I use Navigraph Navdata

 

Yes, I've seen two other reports of that. It was one of the ILS approaches to ENGM (by Aerosoft...), the actual sim-navdata of the localizer is okay, have flown there often enough with other aircraft. Also using Navigraph by the way.

The CRJ v1 on MSFS 2020 never did that on a localizer, by the way. It had its own problems, but this was none of them.

I have over 30 flights and not one problem on any of my flights. (OMG, I sound like Bob).

Localizer should not be turned on before 15 miles and make sure you are on a VOR setting and not gps.

 

 

 

It was 8 miles out and it did capture the localizer actually (showing LOC green), it just did not fly it but instead flew a course 80 degrees to the right.

Gotta give it a shot again. Last time I was flying a long haul and CRJ started  stuttering badly. Pretty much no other add on  I have has this issue. I suspect it may be related to EFB map though

Ah yes, so we are two then. Was it also kind of micro freezing during the whole flight for you? I've never seen that before with any other add on. I did not use the EFB map by the way

Yes exactly like that! I had few shorter flights that went uneventfully. Then, a long haul and it started stutter in midflight. If I go outside view. stutter stop! When I come back into the cockpit stutter continue.. Basically I terminated flight because I couldn't continue like that any longer   

That is interesting. All my flights are under 2 hours, so I have no reference for that.

Side question:  I notice the TO elevator trim causes the plane to rotate on its own as it were at the anticipated speed and I don't recall that w/ V1.  Is that the way the plane is designed to work in the RW, or is that a bug?  I don't think I'm doing anything wrong...

Hoping v2.1 releases today.

2.1 is now out
