Azorian77 2 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi, I notice since the MFS update the CRJ just keeps losing speed,I’m at FL290 doing around 290/280 knots and everything is nice and smooth and then after a while the aircraft just keeps losing speed slowly down to 140/120 knots to the point of stalling. Even getting the throttle to max power the speed doesn’t even go up. Before this latest update I did around 20 flights with the CRJ and never had any issue so I’m wondering if I should uninstall and reinstall the plane again.

DGH 0 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Had the same at crusin FL370 NO icing ... NO clouds ... NO ice warning light. De-icing on had NO effect whatsoever. dropping back to FL290 worked ( suggesting invisible icing ? ) sorry but i do not see this in the FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRBarrett 675 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 For anyone experiencing an unexplained loss of airspeed or altitude in cruise, if you are using a hardware axis lever in MSFS assigned to “spoilers” I recommend removing that controller binding for now. Although MSFS does provide that axis, it does not work correctly with the CRJ, and could possibly lead to the spoilers becoming extended (aerodynamically) without being deployed visually or on the flight control synoptic page.

Transair 22 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 is it possible that the flap axis is similar, as my flaps deployed to 8deg on climb at FL140, and my HC Bravo has a flap binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted April 18, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted April 18, 2021 It's best NOT to bind the flap axis to control flaps in the CRJ. The range, at least presently, is too narrow for most. Better to use the flap switch, as explained here (Flaps are well down the page, after reverser setup): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i would do that if I assigned spoilers to an axis ... i did not also ... spoilers do not explain the issue being over at FL290 right ? Or are they retracting below a certain FL ? it acts like icing ... despite nothing is suggesting icing is happening ( no clouds / icing light / anti icing does not work etc etc ) weird issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be an unwanted icing effect. I have heard that this effect will be reduced in the upcoming SU4 - or that at least aircraft developers will have more control over it.

Frafty 6 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've had this happen to me on my latest two flights. The thing that caught my attention in both instances was the position of the STAB Trim on the status page - it was at like 15.0 which is well outside of the green parameter. I've read on here earlier that it's potentially due to icing. So if you find yourself in this similar situation again, look and see what your STAB trim is showing, and if it's high (11+), try enabling the Wing Anti Ice and the Cowl Anti-Ice. I only learned of that potentially being a cause/solution after the second time it happened, so I'll do the same should I find myself in the same situation again.

Developer metzgergva 210 Posted April 20, 2021 Developer Share Posted April 20, 2021 Icing may be one thing, having WAI on is another reason and lately any pausing via ESC deploys the spoiler invisibly. Jut hit / to see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
