CRJ Update Status with new staff

[reallinepilot 4]

Just curious, if there are still plans to update the CRJ that was in progress for Mathjis  departed.

[FrankGehry 28]

I would think so as from my understanding, Hans in the main developer for the aircraft (and his work on the ATR is winding down). It would be nice to see some detailed updates on what the plans for the future of the CRJ are.

[FernandoPosada 8]

We really need an official update regarding this topic and please stop hiding the head under the sand, the aircraft has been broken for over a year now and nothing has been informed to the community except excuses and false promises of “update is coming soon”. 
If you don’t have the time an will to fix it maybe it’s time to realise it as freeware and let other developers fix it.

 

when is it enough?

Hi,

 

I can confirm that we are still working on the CRJ update. Work is currently underway on the model and systems. We will post more details in the coming days and keep you updated on the progress of the project.

I'm holding you to the bolded statement...

The fact that work is taking place on the model is promising, I can only hope that this includes textures as well - Particularly those of the displays. 
 

It would be great if the flight deck looked a lot more ‘lived in’. Most airlines’ CRJ fleets have paid for themselves a hundred times over, I would be in a state of shock at work if I showed up for the day and my flight deck looked as clean and new as the CRJ represented in the sim!

There is already a worn cockpit texture overhaul for the 700 to download at the aero soft website

I've had this mod for ages and love it (except that it looks like a bear was chewing on the throttle quadrants).   A nice touch is the pilfered "Holiday Inn" ballpoint pen.

Do you/ anybody possibly know how to make it work on the 900/1000 series?

Unfortunately, no.    The funny thing is that I didn't think the cockpit was different between the 700 and the other two variants.    Are you sure it won't work with those?  

[FernandoPosada 8]

I do also think all models share the same cockpit model and textures.... will try to overwrite the CRJ900 cockpit texture files at the base folder and see what happens, worst case I re-install the aircraft

It would be quite smart to backup the original files before overwriting

Just to bring the thread back on topic. Any more details to share? I think we are up to week 54 or 55 without any CRJ update, every extra week is just that bit more embarrassing.

[FrankGehry 28]

I too would like to hear some news on the update. The 'coming days' post was a week ago now.

[jay jay 93]

Different boss, same story.

Aren't all days "coming" in the grand scheme of things?

Hi Jan,

 

It's been a while since your post, wondering when we'll see all the details on those promised updates?  

[garrybank 4]

I was just about to post a report of problems on the CRJ700 and 500 regarding the fact that the throttle control is useless. There is no smooth control between idle and max.  I haven't flown this aircraft for months but got it out of the hanger to refamiliarise myself.  Is this throttle issue part of "the aircraft is broken" remarks?

[FS98FSX 29]

An update would be nice, its been almost a month now since Jan said there would be an update in the coming days. 

[FernandoPosada 8]

Will we have to wait several months for the final release or can it be rolled out in blocks like the fenix 320 addressing the most crucial parts? some days has passed and still nothing...

[Monty43 3]

The CRJ development depend only of Hans Hartmann, and after ATR, he can be taking a small holidays period. 

[CRJay 429]

Yes, the mythical "after ATR it will be CRJs turn"... Since then, multiple ATR updates and zero, nada, zilch on the CRJ front. And no one in AS dares to even post anything anymore about the update it seems . I think the time may soon come to declare time of death, RIP CRJ, and move on.

Couldn’t agree more.. at this stages better lower the price, remove decryption and let skilled modders fix aerosofts problems.

I'll do the honors for the eulogy...

 

Here lies the first highER fidelity addon in MSFS. Though it was beloved by so many, it's parents didn't give the same love to it as they have shown it's other more lucrative siblings. Though its parents didn't treat it as badly as it's brother (the Twotter), it still did long for its parents' love and affection. It lived a short life but brought joy to so many for an extended period of time, but it's flaws were too great to continue to go unnoticed when compared to its competition. Only its parents held the power to fix its flaws but alas, here we are. Thank you CRJ, you will be missed.
