May 4, 20251 yr I've been waiting for what seems forever, for Justflight to release the Fokker 70/100 in MSFS. As an interim I'm thinking of buying the RJ series Professional. The reviews and videos seem to consider it an excellent aircraft in the Sim. I have the BAE146 version but am not overly happy with it. Do those of you who have the RJ consider it to be a worthwhile purchase for MSFS 2020/2024? Opinions would be appreciated. Thanks Steve YBCG
May 4, 20251 yr To me, its a masterpiece, but i also think the same about the 146. Why don’t you like the 146? Juan Ramos
May 4, 20251 yr As @xender says, what don't you like about the 146? The RJ has more automation and I would recommend it to anyone, as I would the 146.

Can't nail it down exactly, just find it doesn't do anything for me, lacking automation with throttles and VNAV might contribute to it but just doesn't appeal to me. YBCG

Makes sense. Some people don't like to fly and prefer it to be fully automatic with no user input Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

May 5, 20251 yr The RJs are amazing mate. JF have done a great job and flying them in MSFS2024 is perfection. Enjoy. Jase

No freighter in the purchase package as I do not believe there were ever any freighter variants in real life. Don't know whether there's a mod available. As for the aircraft itself, I consider it one of the best available for MSFS 2024 right now and is all I fly. It has a much higher degree of automation than the 146, yet it's still a plane you fly.

May 5, 20251 yr A freighter conversion of the RJ was proposed, but it was postponed and never built. https://www.aircargonews.net/bae-postpones-plans-for-avro-rj100-freighter-conversion/19943.article I'd love Just Flight to add this as a 'what if' variant. I wouldn't mind betting they've considered it at some point. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
May 5, 20251 yr Its easily one of the best "vintage" jets in either of the MS sims right now. Easily. 4 engines, mostly manual, hardly anything automated. Perfect flight sim plane. Unless you love to just dump everything from simbrief into the cdu just have it fly itself.

May 5, 20251 yr It puzzles me why many of you are supposedly not experiencing the "pitch oscillation" problem during descent and final approach in the RJ Professional. JustFlight have confirmed that it is an issue, but they have not yet released a fix. Until that day, it remains in my MSFS 2020 hangar.

May 5, 20251 yr I bought it and the Fokker in the Easter sale at Just Flight. Both are excellent and no issues with either. I'd probably recommend the RJ if I had to pick just one. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
May 5, 20251 yr Author Well Gents, it appears the consensus is that it is a fine aircraft, so on all of the the positive response from this topic. I will purchase it. I thank you all for your honesty and comments - all have been taken on board. Keep the blue up. Steve YBCG
