Hi Jamie, When extracting files from a zip or Rar file, I use 7-Zip and that gets over the problem of the "filename too long" situation. I also use Addon linker all of the time prior to launching MSFS - it's brilliant as it means that I only load those files that are needed for a given flight. Best regards, Peter

May I strongly recommend anyone who has or contemplating buying the CRJ to watch the yoursimCFI YouTube videos. He's a CRJ-700 pilot and his videos are very helpful.

I just wonder if there's an issue with your flight sim or windows set up. Today, I flew from Lyon to Nantes in an Air Hop CRJ-1000. I had no issues with the flight, it captured the localiser correctly, there were no freezes, etc. - it was an enjoyable flight because of it being a great mix of automatic and manual control. On a previous flight, I had to change the runway as a result of ATC, but the FMS handled it very well. The CRJ, by its very nature is something that you need to keep on top of otherwise things can go astray such as monitoring the aircraft speed particularly at top of climb and during the descent. But this makes the flight enjoyable as you can't rely on auto thrust. Also, the CRJ seems to have a low impact on frame rates and it seems to run better than most of my other aircraft - I do have a 7-year old PC so I tend to notice this as my PC struggles to run well with some other aircraft, for example the Fenix A320 family. So I'm looking forward to V2 very much as the changes look to be very helpful, although i don't bother going into the cabin!

In MSFS2020, with the default showcase view, the aircraft and horizon rotates over a period of time, i.e., it doesn't stay still. May I ask those who are using ChasePlane in MSFS2020 if this still occurs or not? Best regards, Peter

I'm looking forward to the update very much. I'm enjoying flying the CRJ's as I mentioned in a previous post. Last night, I flew a short Delta Connection flight and the workload after take-off was manic! However, I managed to complete the flight to Cedar City, UT and it was a lot of fun.

I used the process and went with 512. It was straightforward following the instructions. The AI traffic looks fine to me.

Before MSFS2020, I used FS9 and FSNav. They served me well. Little Navmap is a great alternative to FSNav and it's free!

I only have DX11 on my ancient PC and the iFly 737 MAX runs well on it.

For me too!

I have just dusted off my CRJ-700, downloaded the latest update and before I started flying it again, I watched some very helpful YouTube videos. I've since flown the aircraft using what I've learned from the videos, and I have to say that the aircraft is great in my opinion. It is a combination of automation and hand flying - you have to maintain the aircraft speed after the aircraft has reached it's cruise altitude. May I suggest that you might try it again? As I mentioned above there are a lot of helpful videos out there.

In the words of V1 Simulations, the ATR is dead to me. Despite all my attempts to get the autopilot working, it refuses to connect. I am certain that there's a binding issue but I've not found it. Thanks to all who commented. I'm using the CRJ-700 instead for my virtual airline flights. Best regards, Peter

Not usually. I did once but it had no effect as the autopilot wouldn't engage.

I'm sorry for my robust answer - it was late and I felt fed up with the aircraft.

A new development - I noticed that after I taken off, the flight director guidance line goes down to the horizon line instead of going up to guide the pitch angle. Is this a clue as to what the issue is?

Yes to both questions. I have flown many aircraft since my first flights with FS5.1. I have never experienced this issue before.
