Unfortunately I’ve not received any response from PCAviator. Not sure if anyone else has had better luck. 

Same here, but I also don't see PCAviator showing the CRJ v2 for sale on their site. In fact their site doesn't show much of anything new or recent. I'm wondering if they're starting to go MIA like that Aussie place years ago.

I'm hoping Contrail can come to our rescue and allow transfers from Aerosoft and/or Aerosoft products bought from other stores.

FWIW Contrail posted here on Avsim that after much deliberation and discussion with AS they mutually decided they will honor NO MORE lic. xfer requests on this plane.  They then advised that we who are waiting for MP to update ...to continue to wait.  Sorry.

Wish they had improved the flight model, it doesn't feel right at all...

Their phone number still seems to be active. I’ll give em a call during business hours on Monday. 

I decided to bite the bullet and re-purchased v2 from Simmarket. For making liveries, I need the full unencrypted version anyway.

I found that liveries for v1 do fit on v2, but in order to use them, you need to do some changes in livery config files. If you don't, aircraft will load with invisible interior textures (unflyable, as cockpit will also be invisible). You can fix liveries as follows (replace "YourAirline" with airline name of your texture and "CRJ_700" with CRJ_550/CRJ_900/CRJ_1000 if needed):

1) Community\[livery_folder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft_CRJ_700_YourAirline\model.YourAirline\model.cfg:

(do not change anything before "[models]")

[models]
exterior=..\..\Aerosoft_CRJ_700\model\CRJ700.xml
interior=..\..\Aerosoft_CRJ_700\model.interior\CRJ700_Interior.xml

2) Community\[livery_folder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft_CRJ_700_YourAirline\texture.YourAirline\texture.cfg

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\..\Aerosoft_CRJ_700\texture
fallback.2=..\..\Aerosoft_CRJ_700\texture.base
fallback.3=..\..\Aerosoft_CRJ_Common\texture.base

Did a few flights and have mixed feelings. Navigation seems to be glitchy, I had it a few times when aircraft would stop following path and start to turn somewhere, including when it captured ILS localizer. Never had anything like this with v1. Also had simulator permanently freeze when I was trying to add a few waypoints inflight.

I got the “please call back during regular business hours” message when I called at 10:30 Eastern which isn’t encouraging. Left a voicemail. 

One thing positive is that, it is VR friendly in performance smoothness, much more than others airliners in the market if not the most. Flaws following complex SID-STAR-Approaches in LNAV, that you can "solve" with direct-to or HDG e.g. but really enjoyable, and she is precious the most important haha. In final ILS GS it wasn´t very stable, though I think that was more my fault not giving a stable manual thrust-speed.

Hope devs take care of this gem solving its faults.

Had some early getting the V2 off the ground during takeoff but trimming helped a lot now.

After a reinstall I was able to complete a flight without any WASM crashes.  Only real issue was the LNAV getting off track once, which I solved with a direct to my next waypoint.  It sounds like that may be at least partially a feature from the video posted earlier in this thread?

Overall a nice improvement for free and especially with the excellent Boris sound pack it’s something I’ll fly from time to time.  However I’m still not sure I like it enough to fly it a lot over my other two excellent regional jets (F28 and Avro RJ) which is really more a testament to how good those two aircraft are.

According to a beta tester the flight model improvements are currently being tested.  So it's coming....

That’s encouraging. I’m liking this plane a lot other than that. Is this a this year thing?

Don't quote me on this but he said around 3 weeks.... so double that in order not to be disappointed 🙂 

I'm real surprised.  I've owned this plane in p3d and v1 msfs.  probably never did more than 2 or 3 flights.  But it's really starting to grow on me

It would grow on me a lot more if I could get the APU started. 

I had no problems flying it in 2021-22, so either my skills have regressed, or I need to reinstall it.

I was having a little trouble. But press the APU POWER FUEL button, then wait for the message to change from APU DOOR CLOSED to APU DOOR OPEN. THEN, press the APU START/STOP button.
