This is a question for Asobo. Aerosoft, no different than any developer, does not control when things get published on the marketplace. Reason 2376 that I don't use the marketplace.

Are you climbing with SPD engaged in the AP panel or V/S? SPD should be used. Take off and climb out to accel height SPD bug up to 240 and reduce flaps on schedule (make sure you are now in CLIMB detent) At 10K SPD bug up to 290 and whatever climb rate you get, you get. Once 290 becomes M0.74 switch to Mach spd if it does not do it automatically which it does for me. Once at cruise, set AND monitor thrust to maintain your cruise spd. Not A/T so you have to watch it.

Worked for a flight yesterday. Loaded today. Not working again.

Update: Uninstalled and re-installed. Did NOT update the nav data via the Navigraph hub as I had done before. Loaded fine, set all items in the EFB as needed. Updated Navigraph data via the EFB. Restarted the sim. Nothing works again. I am zeroing in on the Navigraph data as the cause. I will un-install and start over without navigraph update. Back later.

We seem to be fixating on my comment regarding the throttles. Let's just forget that for a moment and think: 1. Black screens 2. Battery not coming on after clicking and hearing sound 3. Black EFB that never turns on As far as the Assistance, yes, it is set to True to Life (stupid term from Asobo). I would have just known it as Hard. Across the board. The plane is dead, nothing works on it. Should I have had to insert my serial key at some point in either the installation or first start? If so, the installer never asked for it and I had it copied and ready to paste. Is there a way to just get the exe file to try and install that way, outside of AS One?

Not familiar with the assistance setting called "True to Life". If you are speaking of the MSFS assistance settings, they are all turned off. All hardware connected. The plane loads and when loaded on to a runway it loads with all sounds running and the sounds respond to hardware input like the throttle. However, the throttles in the cockpit are not moving, the switches move but nothing happens (landing lights for example. The screens are all black. I installed (and uninstalled and re-installed 4 times now) from the Aerosoft One app. AS One asked me to sign in but after that there was no request from either AS One or the CRJ on load to enter my serial key.

Brand new PC (just completed build last Saturday) Brand new Windows Pro 11 Brand new install of MSFS2020 All drivers on PC up to date Nothing in community folder Load at gate cold and dark, buttons move, nothing happens. EFB will not turn on to configure no matter how long press is held. Load on runway, sounds of a running CRJ heard, sounds respond to throttle input, they spool up. No throttle movement visible. Uninstalled/reinstalled 3x each time deleting all CRJ related folders left after install and one time deleting all ASOne folders left after uninstalling that. Ideas? Does the CRJ borrow functionality in any way from default aircraft? I always delete all the default aircraft I can because I don't use them and don't need them to load. Is there another validation screen that should pop on first load? If so, not happening on my end (installed from Aerosoft One).

What would happen if you set the speed bug to whatever speed you are at when you re-engage the autopilot. Kind of fishing here, but saw your bug at 150 and since the CRJ uses pitch to control speed it may be going nose up real fast trying to get to 150 then realizing it overshot the alt restriction and begins to nose over for that.

What has been stated by Asobo, is that they expect add on aircraft to be compatible. The developers are, correctly so, are taking the road of "We have been told yes, but we will not confirm or deny until we get our hands on 2024".

I don't see that. I tried yesterday. The only time I see a "jump" is if I am out of trim when engaging the AP. I see no jump whatsoever on AP disengage. Granted, I do not know if the behavior I see is real, however in aircraft that I have flown, if the AP is engaged while out of trim, the much smarter AP tries to rapidly trim into speed up or down. Most FCOMs that I have (if not all of them) explicitly state that the aircraft must be in trim before engaging the AP.

I have found that there is no overshoot IF 1. You are in climb detent. 2. You are in trim for airspeed when engaging the AP If you are pulling or pushing on the yoke when you engage the AP in any aircraft, you will see the A/P do some weird stuff.

Well, I guess this is one way to do it. I guess that in some way, denying yourself something you want will teach AS a lesson. More than likely though, it won't and shouldn't matter to them, but you do you.

Great idea! I can't wait to see you release the CRJ from your new company.

You would not have to guess my name if I worked for AS. As to the rest of your dribble, you sound like most people today who just resort to calling people/companies names instead of being able to rationalize a position. I flew the CRJ yesterday and had no issues completing the flight. It is, in its current condition better than any default aircraft (I said default and meant default). Is it PMDG? No. However, I point you to their forums where you will find your peers posting daily crap about a supposed release date/timeline/lack of comms etc., for the 777. None of you can appreciate where the industry is because you were not there at the beginning. Fanboy, not really. In awe at what we have today, yes. Again, if you think it can be done better, do it. I have done that very thing many times and my life is pretty good, and I am living life not complaining about a toy.

I am confident that since there are so many owner/users here that know how to run a development company and more precisely know exactly what it takes to develop an aircraft for MSFS, that one or a group of you will get together, buy AS and do things the "right way".

Admittedly I do not fly VR. However, I would have to guess that Asobo put something in the sim to be able to customize VR camera(s).

Hi Hans, Your mature clients (evidenced by their posts) want a detail list of everything you do that is not CRJ related. Start with a bathroom schedule, as I am sure that everyone expects you have one that is or should be strictly adhered to. Please publish your sleep log and where you are eating at, what you are eating and how long you were eating it. Do you actually hold your burger yourself or have a burger holder so that you can keep coding? Not having an update on these things is really breaking their immersion and you know that once you break it, there is no fixing it. Fortunately for me, the Marine Corps removed my immersion along with my feelings and wisdom teeth. Do you watch tv or have some other bad habit of personal recreation? How often do you get your haircut? We just need to know that there is nothing else in your life that would keep you from working 24/7/365 on the CRJ. Nice chatting with you. I have to go fly the CRJ.

All good. I get what you are saying to, just Aerosoft is not the answer.

Yes, I am saying that being worried about being prepared for an engine out that occurs 1 in every 375K hours of operation in real life, while flying a desktop simulation is nonsense. If you are flying for real, your real-world company will have that training available to you. If you want to play at it in a sim, flip the switch and shut down an engine. If a developer provides that level of simulation great. Aerosoft has ALWAYS been up front that their aircraft are programmed to be a simulation of NORMAL flight operations. If that does not suit anyone, then they should buy elsewhere. My source for the numbers is the FAA through via Google Search.

proportionally the screens are correct or nearly so. Like in a real aircraft you have to adjust your seat. You have to turn your head/move your eyes to see the eye indicator in real life. What a pilot sees in front of him with just eye movement is his two screens and his side of the MCP. Head movements are required to see other things CLEARLY. If you have "correctly set the eye position by the indicator, and the screens are too small, you are "sitting" too far back in the cockpit. A tracking system like Track IR adds much to the enjoyment/realism.

Well, I guess you can just sell off your system components and find another hobby. Abandonware, you people are delusional.

No, it won't. I have been a client of AS since the day they became AS. Ditto PMDG, FENIX, Leonardo. You name it, I was a first day buyer. They have all been hounded for updates on this, updates on that, when will this be done, when will that be done. Once any of them give any quasi-concrete answer like "3rd quarter 2023" on July 1st of 2023 at 0001 hrs they start getting hounded from folks like you about broken promises and reliability and viability and all manner of nonsense. Read Hans response to you folks above. AS is not the cause of consternation regarding releases and updates, you people are. If flight simulation is all you live for then well too bad. Also, you have to define "maintains its products". I wonder how many DOS 4.0 users are writing suicide notes because it is no longer supported. Try and get maintenance or support on an Apple IIc. It's very likely that AS has been around longer or as long as you. My son was born in 1991 (the year Aerosoft was founded) and now has 4 kids. All four of them will probably be able to buy AS products if they wish and if not, there will be someone else to provide them what they want. Now, if not being let in on all the inner workings of a company makes you uncomfortable as a client/potential client, then, that is on you to make a decision that makes your sensitivities all better. Again, it makes no difference.

Good grief. What good would knowing do? What if you were told "the release date will be February 30th 2027" (and yes I know there is no February 30th), how would that change your life? Probably not at all. I would suggest that folks work on life changing things that they can control. The fake aircraft in our fake sim world will be updated for us to pretend we are CRJ pilots in due course. Not a day before or after.

No, I have a higher IQ, understand how things work better, and of course more patience and maturity. I do not need instant gratification.

An update was promised "in the coming days". That means any time after that day. It does not mean soon. It was the developer Hans, not so much just an Aerosoft representative, who locked the thread. He also did not say they would release it "whenever they want to release it". What Hans said was "The update will be released when we (PM, myself and the testing team) think that it's ready for release." That is very different from "whenever they want". 1. The update has to be finished. 2. I am sure there will be/is some kind of beta period. 3. Probably updates to the update due to discoveries during beta etc. 4. A release candidate will go out to the beta team. 5. If all goes well the RC will get released. If not, changes, beta, new RC etc. until a release is made. Now, I know you know all that and that you know what Hans said and that you know what you posted above is not what was conveyed. It is fact childish posts filled with lies and misleading information like yours that caused the other thread to be closed. So, Hans did not close it, the rampant childishness (being nice here) did.
