MSFS Products

@Mark Personally I think it'd be a perfect fit for you guys personally. It's not massively complex on the systems front, not requiring an FMC or the like. It had the distinction of being the fastest commercial passenger plane apart from the concorde if memory serves. It just never quite lined up for Convair and they couldn't iron out the problems before the project ended up failing for favour of large wide bodies.

But it'd be a unique and fascinating early era jet, since we are upto our eyeballs in A320s and 737s. Something from the early days that was a fascinating 'what-if' would be amazing.

Be nice to do some old school stick and rudder flying. xD

Many thanks for the response, really looking fwd to the updates.

Thank you.

@windplr The developer requested we remove it from sale whilst they ascertained what was needed work-wise to get it working correctly in FS2024. We're awaiting feedback on that, from the dev.

Thank you for the feedback. If I could kindly ask you to contact Just Flight support via the following link, our support team will be able to offer assistance with moving the install location of our products: https://www.justflight.com/support

The Navdata in MSFS 2024 isn't something we have investigated just yet. However, the initial compatibility updates for the 146/RJ will focus on making the 2020 versions of the products compatible with 2024, so the initial 2024 versions will retain the Navigraph requirement for updating the Navdata. Once the products are compatible with 2024, we will then investigate what 2024-specific features can be added in future updates, such as the new flight planning/Navdata features.

Nice - can't wait!

The GNLU in the RJ is more akin to an FMS that is found in a 737 rather than an A320, but we have simulated it to a similar depth as our UNS-1 in the 146. The GNLU is, however, a much more modern and complex unit, with more advanced features than the UNS-1 so there should be plenty to keep you busy. Like our UNS-1, we have simulated as much as possible to be functional using the real-world FMS manuals, including the ability to create holding patterns and runway extension waypoints, view Top of Climb and Top of Descent points, and monitor other navigation and performance data.

There has been a significant rewrite of the autopilot code in the RJ as that was required to allow us to properly simulate how the various aircraft systems all integrated with each other (Flight Guidance System, AutoThrottle, FADEC, Thrust Rating Panel, etc), so there have been improvements to the autopilot across the board. The RJ is also capable of CAT3 autolands in the real world and in the sim, which these autopilot improvements have been crucial for.

With regards to a release date we have nothing to announce at the moment, but do keep an eye on our social media channels as we'll be sharing more information on the RJ Professional soon.

@qwz020 We hope so yes, we've not had sight or use of the SDK as yet so we're unable to guarantee 100% that will be the case, but we're hoping that's the case.

I did an error : too long pomp and flowed the engine. 2 seconds max to prime, not 3 very long sec as I did, and the engine start normaly ;)

'love to have one !

@sk0941 +FMS/Garmin-y retrofits. But true classics will keep flying one way or another, and in MSFS, its quite easier if one wants to go old school. Already can fly US like it's 1958 with all the original VORs, NDBs, etc from that era. You can also go all celnav (celestial navigation) and fly your DC-6 or Connie that way, which is how they did it before gyroscope INS systems became a thing.

The Wing42 B247 included old AN type radio beacons globally for navigation (where they existed at the time, which was limited coverage). The mods and community stuff will expand with time.

Three from me!
