Hi,

I read that Digital Aviation is closing down, but support for the CRJ will be on these forums.

Since it has not yet been completed, does that mean Aerosoft is going to complete it?

Thanks

[Gaura Mohana]

Very good question I second it.

btw i was just on their website yesterday, and i did not see any note of them closing down...

[SF22]

I think there is (now most probably was) a long time to the release. Personally after the Fokker failure I wouldn't buy anything from them before everything promised could be found in it. After all, they failed providing the vc within a reasonable time from release and the Fokker was originally overpriced.

Well, I really hope that CRJ project will survive and finalized maybe by Aerosoft

Well, Gaura - probably it' s time for a guide dog then ...  

That' s what I get when I visit their site (since March 31st):

A quote from the news from Digital Aviation.

So what’s going to happen? We will continue to work on our current projects (CRJ and the Fokker VC).

[Mathijs Kok (Aerosoft)]

Gents give us a few days and we'll be able to tell you how this will work out, okay?
Don't start guessing or being worried, it all looks pretty good.

[ap1190]

Thanks for all the info. I will keep an eye out for any news

[Mathijs Kok (Aerosoft)]

As you will have seen this message has been moved to the 'Previews' section.

The reason for this is simple. While DA remains the main developer for this project (systems, gauges, flightmodels etc), we have asked one of our internal developers, Stefan Hoffman, to do the modeling. We already know the parts from DA are of the highest quality and of very very high complexity and we know that Stefan can do a marvelous model that will do the systems justice. So after a serious delay, the CRJ is fully in development at this very moment. Release is expected late summer.

[Geddy_2112]

Great News!
Finally a high quality CRJ will be released. Excellent job gentlemen.

[Alexander Barger]

yay   

[Sar71]

Excellent news!! Stefan Hoffman and Hans Hartmann are without question a dream team  

Greetings
Tim

[Ourgas]

After the airbus another brilliant plane. A regional jet.

Tjee he is just been working on it for 18 hours now.... give the man a break, lol.

[LCLK]

Is it still the bigger CRJ? or we can expect the smaller CRJ-200?

[Todd_F]

That is excellent to know Aerosoft is going to work with DA to get the CRJ out there, I am sure it will be a really nice plane.....too bad the Fokker VC coudn't have been done this way.

This is the original DA CRJ project, no changes in the coverage.

[Brad Patterson]

This is best news I have heard since the Airbus X announcement. I love CRJ's maybe cause I am from Canada. Thank you Aerosoft and DA.

-700 and -900 series (i think), I wish they could make a -100 or -200 though. There aren't any good CRJs on the market that i have seen.

[geoffbecks]

Will these still be for both fs9 & fsx as planned by DA or will it just be for X
Thanks for any advise
Geoff

[TriholerFan]

As far as I know for both FSX and FS9...

[Hans Hartmann]

No, I'm sorry but it's going to be FSX only.

[Geddy_2112]

Well in that case I guess I don't care that there's a high quality CRJ coming out.
What a shame.

[Kepti]

If I remember right, they said originally that it would be first for FS9...

Yes but that is a very long time ago. Guys it is very simple, there is no money in an FS2004 version and a combined version is very hard as the FS2004 will dumb it down a lot in graphics. If you get me 5000 customers for an FS2004 version we'll do one gladly. We would be glad to get 10% of that over 18 months though.

Just to clear things up, does this mean aerosoft or DA will be continuing work on the Fokker VC?

We got nothing to do with that project, sorry. I suggest asking on the DA or Flight1 forum about the Fokker.

Ok, will do. Thanks for the help!

[Dimon]

Guys,

By the time DA CRJ (as well as PMDG NGX and LDS 757) will be ready with all SPs, I guess FSX will be the main platform. As of now - yes, FS2004 still rock for die-hard IFR simmers.

I 100% agree that Aerosoft should only focus on FSX!

Also I will NEVER buy a "combined" FS9/FSX product because as you say it just "dumbs down" the FSX version.

I also agree, FSX all the way !!!

[jordancollins]

I hope this plane and complex, like there Fokker. With Aerosoft taking it over I'm sure they will nail. Wont it be there first "Complex" Airliner?

it depends on what comes out first:
- the airbus x extention
- ore the crj

i hope both are coming out very soon...

[jordancollins]

I would love to Aerosoft break into the "PMDG" market if ya know what I mean. Competition is sooooooo good for us consumer's. There Airbus looks so good, I almost thought it was fake at first. I'm more of the hard-core bus fan, with that I will wait until the release an "advanced" version...if they do.

What's wrong with the Fokker except the VC? It's one of the best aircraft for fs.

The lack of the VC is the problem, Sooo advanced yet in the stone age when it comes to the vc.

So you do not have very much addons to buy then, do you? With all FlyTampa and Aerosoft Mega Airports being dual platform..

If you allow me to ask: Of what value is this small praise of FSX for this topic?

Note on that. I do not believe that big airports are seriously better in FSX. If you like big airports FS2004 remains a very valid platform that we hope to support for a very long time.

For small airports/vfr scenery and certainly in aircraft FSX has a lot of new things to offer, but the Mega Airports are in the view of many people better in FS2004 then they are in FSX.

Ho ho ho, we are not taking over, we are just doing part of the project. This remains very much a Digital Aviation project. But is it is very very deep in systems, far more then the Airbus X is.
