You really shouldn't fly M0.72 up to high levels, depending on your weight you are massively increasing your chances to stall or just fall on the back side of the power or lift/drag curve. We used to use 250/290/0.74/0.77... The 0.74 was up to FL360, from there 0.77. I'd even argue it is easier to do 250/280/0.77 and skip the extra step. Worked well on the real thing.

Coupled VNAV is available as an option. I believe it was standard on the 1000 and maybe some late 900s. These aircraft will have a VNAV button, and it practically functions like VNAV you might know from Boeing or Airbus, but you have to manage thrust yourself.

In the real plane, a short press will work also 9 out of 10 times in my experience. It is just good habit to hold it until you see proof of starting to cover for the 1 out of 10.

I guess it is quite clear by now that we should consider the forum abandoned . What a joke Aerosoft has turned into over the past few years. Prepare to get no replies to any bugs you report here when the new version drops.

@Marius EllenbürgerDo you guys not announce anything in this forum anymore? Is Discord the only communication channel now? Do better in communicating please.

According to a post on another forum, Hans supposedly had a livestream himself or commented in someones livestream and mentioned this. All hearsay, which is why I prefaced it with the 'supposedly'. And the issue tracker has been suggested many times in the past, but rejected. The forum was supposed to be the main way of tracking it. We have seen how well that has worked. Let's see if the update still comes out today, if it doesn't it might confirm the delay. If it does, we all get to see how successful of an update it is.

Supposedly now delayed for another week to fix the bugs shown in that stream... Some of these are bugs that have been known since before the update was announced, with topics on this very forum. The update has been years in the making, but has not fixed those bugs. Will now suddenly be fixed in an extra week? Trust level is not very high.

Yet he has not visited the Aerosoft forums since early January, nor answered any questions from his paying customers in months... Why is there no info provided here? Or where is the rest of the "marketing campaign" that you suggested? Mr. Hartmann is from a different era and clearly has no idea how to communicate. Needs to have a CRM course.

With all due respect.... I'm pretty sure the customer interaction here died under your very nose as project manager here still. The main difference would have been more closed threads "Because we believe this topic has been answered..." and more ridiculing customers because you can not reproduce the issue so it HAS to be the customer at fault. I will happily admit I'd be happy if the CRJ finally gets an update, it deserves to be done justice. But Hans has shown in the past that he is unable to do it justice over multiple versions for multiple sims, so the confidence level is simply not high. Showing a nothingburger video that is light on actual bug fixes but heavy on the "look it is prettier and does Simbrief integration now" does not improve that situation. For example, if the LNAV is not fixed, what good does loading a Simbrief plan do us? If holds are still broken, what good does the new model with a cabin do us? If you want to get the customers who have been let down time and time again to be a bit more positive, communicate and let us know what we can actually expect in terms of fixes for known problems in the update. And please drop the BS about this being a marketing thing. Marketing would keep the momentum going. You'd wait a day or two and drop something new, wait a bit again, drop something new. And it would go through known channels, not a random beta testers experience on a small channel. If this is the current Aerosofts or Hans his idea of marketing, something is very wrong.

A complete marketing campaign with a YouTuber that has a more limited reach than my local neighborhood newsletter... Seems legit. Let's just hope there is some substance to the update and it does not take another 6 months to get out of beta. And I sincerely hope the update contains more than just the changes in that video.

Geez guys, maybe aim the negativity at a deserving target instead of just another user frustrated about the lack of communication and lack of the promised update. If you have more than a few brain cells to rub together, the post is not that hard to understand; A certain poster above was famously, or perhaps notoriously, linked to Aerosoft. And has reassured people many times, both before and after his leaving Aerosoft, that for sure the update is coming, Hans is working on it, it'll be great. Other Aerosoft staff have done the same. The developer has done so. Just always without a timeline, and consistently without anything to show us.

Going to take a stab in the dark and say that the developer is not receiving any funds from Aerosoft to work on an update, but is receiving funds from Asobo/Microsoft to work on aircraft included in 2024. So zero priority for the CRJ. If the update ever sees the light of day it will likely be a cold day in hell .

I see we have a new resident Aerosoft apologist :). Enjoy wasting your money and time. Like @snglecoil, in the development time of the CRJ by Digital Aviation I have had a pretty decent run IRL on the CRJ. Right seat, left seat, training. I'd have loved to see the addon succeed and be properly good (sadly, it isn't). I have recently moved to another type, the only reason I check in here still every now and then is to make sure people are aware of what they are buying in to. Because some people still think about buying this overpriced addon, when their time and money is much better spent on addons that surpass the CRJ in every single way (and are often substantially cheaper). I'll be happily surprised if an update ever drops for the CRJ, I'd be even more surprised if it actually makes the plane more realistic. May hope never die .

Just please stop with the vague statements of hope and progress based on nothing but "I've seen it". Back it up. Ask good friend mr. Hartmann to maybe take 5 minutes out of his busy schedule of working on anything but the CRJ, to show just the tiniest bit of progress. A changelog, some random bug that is fixed, anything. Until then, we are customers who have paid, but are not paying anymore, so not a priority anymore. If that is not abundantly clear yet, let's check again: 815 days since last CRJ update 336 days since post with any substance by developer I have had better customer support from Captain Sim.

If he is so wrong, perhaps just give a tiny bit more information to your paying customers who are still dealing with a buggy product. It's been over two years since the last update. And also well over a year since you'd get on it with full attention since the ATR had been finished and released.... Back up your own statement and deliver something.
