Apeofsky Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Thank you for your work creating this beautiful aircraft in MSFS platform. I just joined the forum and I'm unable to send private messages... I manage a large CRJ 200/700/900 fleet in the US at a regional airline and hold a CL-65 type rating on my ATP but most importantly I'm a flight sim enthusiast and would love to contribute to quality of this aircraft on MSFS platform in any way if you developers can use my feedback! I'm sure you are already working with other experts but please feel free to reach out if I can be helpful. Thanks again for your good work contributing to the flight sim community. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we (i) do not always agree, if we have some time to fix the issue that bugs them, let's just do it. We always said customers shape our products. The first person who asks for passengers in all seats gets banned for live. Just saying. Just saying if you put passengers in make sure they are all wearing masks. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, I have an excel document on my other monitor with all the flows and checklists with the prompts to say back, it really helps. But I defiantly recommend FS2Crew to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccurrie5 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If anyone remembers talking about that CYVR-KDFW route, I found the landing from that. TBH I don’t know what I would have done if I did not butter this landing. Sorry, but I am just too hyped!!! IMG_1651.MOV 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How smooth is the interaction with the EFB? Do you need testers...(3 headsets here..G1/G2/Rift S...). :-). Not tested in any way at this moment. Drop me a mail at mathijs.kok@aerosoft.com.

I noticed that in the Come Fly With Me series, whenever a display is popped out, the performance seems to drop significantly. Is this some sort of FPS restriction that occurs in the new window that transfers over to the main simulator, or is the CRJ just very heavy on frames compared to other aircraft? Well making more windows does not help, but in this case it is more the video recording that starts to hurt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caterpillar Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 hmmm, I'll be very interested to see how the VR turns out, as I've not flown on my monitors since MSFS got VR and my 5-year-old Rift CV1 has been doing just fine. I'd hate to have to go back to 2d to be able to fly this aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin Popular Post Mathijs Kok Posted February 27 Root Admin Popular Post Share Posted February 27 5 hours ago, amahran said: On that note, I’d personally like to see failures happen from system/component abuse (e.g. flat tire after a hard landing or brakes exceeding maximum allowable temperature by a significant margin, letting too much ice accumulate in the engine causing engine flameout, nose gear collapse from lowering the nose too aggressively on rollout, etc.). THOSE would be cool features. Yes, we hear that more often. But in my (our) minds it makes no sense. See, we are playing airline pilot here, and they do not get to play with their aircraft to see when they break when they are abused. It also leads to massive support issues because many hobby pilots simply would not understand the relation between something they did 10 minutes ago and an effect later. Our average customer watches a lot of YouTube videos and has a beer, a real airline crew consists of two highly trained professionals who are sober. I know many people do not like to hear this, but it is a bit silly to expect one person with a few manuals to be able to handle things that in real life max out a professional crew. Real flight crew are seriously trained people. ----------------------------------- Sit down, take a drink and let me tell you a story. For 20 years me and some friends organized 'Interstate Races'. They would be international events where invited teams would compete. They were often 24 hours and when possible organised in a very cool place like an aviation museum. Is it not your dream to be locked up in a massive aviation museum at night? I caught a few hours sleep in the cockpit of a Concorde! At these events we always used a bit of software created my my good friend Enrico Schiratti. At first that software had not name but the crews started to call it 'Satan' so that name stuck. The software could basically mess up everything. When a crew had a destination city in view we put in clouds and added 150 knots crosswind for a few minutes. No team ever did the last landing of the race with all engines running. And never without everybody else standing behind the team making comments like 'If I were flying this would be a fine time to lower the gear....' Stress the crew out maximum and see if they could handle it. Rule was that team captain had to do that landing. We done dozens of failures. And the teams that were invited were very serious simmers. I mean, people who live in PMDG aircraft (we often used those for the races). And they jury always had at least 25% real airline pilots. And in all those years there was only one Austrian team (captain was Simon Hradecky, a name you should know btw) who we could not trick into incorrect behavior. But these were basically all pro pilots. Now I am going to tell you about one problem we threw to the teams. Let me set the stage. 03:15 at night, all teams were flying a 737 over Alaska, close together. Three hour leg, perfect weather... we had some music going in the hall. We did all to make them as relaxed as possible. What they did not notice that we had one of our organizers with every team. Making small talk, asking if they needed some coffee. They also did not notice every organizer carried a cardboard box. At 03:16 we set of some fireworks (and yes we got into some problems with the hotel that event was held in) in the hall. At the same time the person of our team with each team started to shout 'explosive decompression, explosive decompression" and shaking the seats the crew was in. Basically creating as much chaos as possible. They also held up the cardboard box in front of the crew and let three oxygen masks drop out (we allowed three person crews for long legs). Now I am not 100% sure of the correct procedure but if I recall the teams got 3 points (10 max) if they: Donned the masks Captain taking control if he did not have it Started an max angle descend Check is the other people on the flightdeck had masks on Now all crews got this more or less right. Not all very fast though Many just sat there with big eyes. They would get 3 more points if they would Divide tasks (fly, inform pax, talk to ground, manage etc) Fiddle with the cabin pressure controls to make sure you have max air inflow Now here started to get serious funny as they had to communicate wearing the masks. I remember a French team resulting to shouting as loud as possible and it all sounding like MWGHRGGUU ARNGGHTRRE MERDE. The Austrian team removed there mask while speaking. They were clearly thinking. As they had a third crew member on the flight deck they told him to take a few very large breaths and go in the cabin to assist the crew there. That got them an additional point. Very cool. The Captain said they could handle the emergency and was worried about his pax. Flight attendants are trained, but only to a certain point. He had resources and used them. The last four points they got if They would change course 45 degrees while making their emergency descend. See, they were flying a busy airway with aircraft on the same course below them. Descending into their path would just add more danger. If I recall there is even a prefered left or right way to turn. As you got to get below FL1000 asap you simply do not have the time to depend on ATC to clear your path, the captain got to reduce risks as much as possible. But is was not over. We led them believe the leak was 'plugged' by the stuff that was sucked into the hole. So they were able to manage to keep solid pressure in the cabin. To our amazement some crews decided to continue to the planned destination. Even though that is just silly and even more because flying at FL100 and not FL300 would mean they simply would not enough fuel left to stay within the regulations. So they managed a problem but did not think about the results completely. Only the Austrian team got everything right. Without stress. We have a problem, let's solve it. Handle the immediate issue, stabilize the issue, make sure the pax are okay, see how it affects the rest of the trip. That's is why you got two people in the front. An airline captain makes a lot of money if he has thousands of hours of experience. That is for a good reason. And that is why I have not a huge amount of confidence in simmers able to handle emergencies in an realistic setting. One that does not have a pause button. Tales from what we among each other call ol'farts. If you want more stories about Interstate Races about when we nearly blew up (I mean seriously, flames) every system connected, or when we had an event where 100 people said 'Ohhhhh shit" at the same time, or when we got into problems with the police or when we blew the fuses at a complete museum, or when Enrico edited the code of 'Satan' (perhaps 'Son Of Satan') in real time on screen that was eight by twelve meters. Talk about pressure. Just let me know. Perhaps it will keep your mind from the CRJ release date. Google our Interstate Races, you will find pictures that show me and a lot of the friends with a lot more hair (or different color hair) then we have now. ----------------------------- And Enrico and I are planning a new Interstate when we beaten corona. We got the plan, we got the route, we got the place. It will be called 'The Last Waltz" as it will be the last time we will organize something like that. 23 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
