146 Professional

There is a significant update to the 146 currently in development that will bring a lot of improvements that were added to the RJ back to the 146. We do have the feedback in this thread logged on our internal trackers, so it will all be revisited again by the development team during their work on the update. Any changes to this default ATC interaction we'll be sure to list in the update's changelog.

@Moonflower_414 thanks for the reply

That’s unfortunate, although manually inputting is far from a chore to do.

Love the aircraft though !!!

@jmarkows I've experienced that weird issue with pressurisation multiple times in the 146. Never been able to figure out what exactly triggers this condition, so never reported it.

I have been seeing this in the latest build, as well. I had success starting up the radar on ground power after a fresh load, but I turned it back off and was unable to start it under APU or engine generator power.

@Mark Thanks Mark. I've flown the 146 a few times since the 1.2 upgrade, but this is the first time that really jumped out at me.

I don’t use Beyond, but I should have thought of using the TO state from the tablet… Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

After one session where I painstakingly went through the whole procedure at a very slow pace, double checking everything, and still no dice, I became more and more convinced it was either a bug or some compatibility issue (although I use very few addons), rather than an error on my part. So I just uninstalled the plane completely and re-installed anew.

That seems to have done the trick, I’ve already had two flights since and no issues starting - and keeping - the engines.

Thanks for the suggestion, however, t's unlikely for us to change any of the control assignments in the 146/RJ unless absolutely necessary. Any changes to the control assignments would require all users to update the control assignments that they have been using for up to 2 1/2 years, and that could lead to confusion, extra support tickets, etc.

We also try to keep the control assignments as similar as possible between the 146 and RJ, so if we were to use the suggested "Autothrottle Disconnect" for the AP SYNC toggle in the 146, this would then differ from the control assignment used for the AP SYNC toggle in the RJ (as we wouldn't be able to use the Autothrottle Disconnect control assignment as that's already used for the autothrottle).

Hi, thanks for your answer,

Indeed, I have a second screen on the left of my main screen, so it's can be easy to do a miss click. After my post I have tried to do another flight with the Aircraft EFB Panel close, and GSX disabled for safety, and no bug in sight.

So, I think I just mistake when I click on my second monitor.

Thanks again for your reactivity.

The annunciator colour and lighting improvements that are included with the recent RJ update will be making their way to the 146 in a future update. We are planning to bring a significant update to the 146 that will add a lot of the improvements we have developed in the RJ, and the lighting will be part of that.

There will be an update in the future that back-ports a lot of the improvements in the RJ to the 146. We're a little snowed under at the moment with RJ updates, MSFS 2024 compatibility updates, etc, so it's difficult to give a time frame on that, but it is something we remain committed to doing.

From my experience, go into SYNC mode, follow the FD and trim out the plane. Once you are at a point where you only need minimal control inputs, the AP should be stable enough again once you disable SYNC.

It seems to be a runaway condition somewhere in the AP code that sometimes starts to overcorrect deviations and can't get back to stable without manual intervention, but once you've intervened it tends to remain stable for a long enough time again. Usually that happens on slowdown for descent/arrival/approach (somewhere below 220kt) and is easily corrected.

I’m sorry to say that although I worked in OPS it was back in the day of the telex machine, and airline pilots today are normally involved in filing their own flight plans - thank goodness!

I don’t think you need a ‘G’.

A tool has now been made available to uninstall JustFlight products that are finding it not possible to remove old versions. The tool is on the support website at:
https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000143340-i-am-being-told-i-have-an-earlier-version-so-unable-to-uninstall

... And bought ;-) Thank you very much

Where is this solution? I'm having the same problem. Thx

Well on the 146 at the moment it's the opposite - the nose is pitching up on landing and it is quite difficult to maintain control until the nosewheel is on the ground.

@jmarkows Somewhere, someone from Just Flight mentioned that all the 3d objects in the analog 146 uses alot of system resources in VR and that the flat panel glass of the RJ would give them more headroom.

That helps a lot thanks Mark

I'm flight testing the new FBW A380 now and will be updating the performance and flex shortly. As soon as the Avro's are out I will add them, and tweak the spreadsheet and then issue an update. Glad you are getting some benefit from it. I can't wait for the Avro's, the previews look superb.
