I also had this frustration - until I re-read the manual. It says somewhere to load a default aircraft first with engines running, then load the CRJ. At that point you can set your aircraft state via Dave. I haven't had a problem since. Hoffie, I see you're a glider pilot. It's a great sport. That was something I did in my previous life. I flew for the Otago Gliding Club here in New Zealand for quite a few years. I was the CFI for a while until I moved location because of my job. Have got a 1000 hours in my log book. Unfortunately the club folded up back in the mid 80's and I haven't done any gliding since. Cheers Bruce R

It's very good. Much appreciated. Thank you. Bruce R

.....and also the Maddog MD-80 Bruce R

That's a bit odd. I know last Sunday when I was clicking on the Captain's PFD to try to get it back, I had a CTD. Never mind, it's good to hear it's been fixed. Regards Bruce R

I loaded the default Maule first at default airport Auckland - NZAA then switched to the CRJ. Loaded the turn around status in Dave and also used Dave to load the pax, cargo and fuel. I completed loading the FMC. Everything seemed to go fine until I enlarged the Captain's ND to run through the flight plan. When I clicked on it to minimise it, it disappeared. The aircraft ND was left blank. If I clicked on the blank ND it enlarged once again in all its glory but minimising it again left a black aircraft ND. The same happened to the Captain's PFD. Clicking on the two instruments several times did not solve the problem. Both the First Officers displays did not suffer the same fate and worked okay like they should. At this point I abandoned the flight before the computer CTD like it did last time. Regards, Bruce R

I have W10, P3D v4.3 with CRJ version 1.2.2.2. I have tried three flights now and two have resulted in CTD. On all occasions I have been parked at Gate 1 at ORBX Bundaberg - YBUD. The first occasion I had enlarged the Captain's PFD, and when I clicked on it to minimise, it disappeared but the PFD on the aircraft was blank. I clicked on the blank PFD and it enlarged again as normal, but clicking on it again to minimise it I got a CTD. The second occasion I was entering the weights in the FMC and the computer CTD. There was no error warning both times and nothing on the event viewer. Both these times I had used Dave Turnaround state. I thought I would try my luck a third time, also starting in Turnaround state. This time I got through the pre-flight and push back, but the engines wouldn't start. At that point I gave up. One thing I did notice on all three occasions, when adjusting the altitude during pre-flight, the knob turned and the cockpit tips showed the altitude but nothing was happening on the PFD. It stayed at 10000'. Bruce R

Have a look at this site. It state's, amongst other data, max height is FL410. http://www2.bombardier.com/CRJ/en/specifications.jsp?langId=en&crjId=700 Bruce R

Just wanted to say that after downloading and installing version 1020 the problem has been fixed. Thanks Aerosoft for the update. Bruce R

I have downloaded and installed Navigraph cycle 1712 rev 1. This download includes the Digital Aviation CRJ 700/900. With the CRJ I have been trying to enter a STAR and approach, but each time I click on the approach the computer freezes and eventually crashes. My flight plan is this; NZAA (Auckland) to NZQN (Queenstown), New Zealand. Depart Ak RWY 23, Lengu2P Kapai Y320 Dovot Ubdam2B for Qn RWY 23. The Ubdam2B STAR takes you from Dovot to Ugped. The approach RNV23-Y takes you the rest of the way between mountains to the airport, but as mentioned when clicking on the RNV23-Y entry it crashes the computer. I’ve tried entering the Ubdam2B waypoints manually then entering the RNV23-Y approach but the computer still crashes. I put this problem to the Navigraph forum. A member of the development team was able to enter the STAR and approach correctly. However, he realised he had CRJ version 1.0.0.5 so he updated to 1.0.1.1. With this latest version he now has the same crashes I have described when entering the approach. I’ve noticed another recent topic entitled “CTD when programming FMS”. It seems this may be the same problem. I have W10, P3D V4.1 Are you able to offer any fix? Bruce Ross

Are you missing turning the AP on? Bruce R
