RJ Professional

Just want to report this issue is still present, even after the 1.3 update (MSFS 2020).

Apologies for the belated response on this topic.

The unsupported Honeycomb Bravo control assignments are something we also spotted recently in our F28 Professional MSFS 2024 updates (and were fixed in the most recent update). We have these logged on our internal bug tracker for the RJ and we'll ensure these get supported again in the next update.

Same here! Hope it gets sorted.

Yup. Same. Usually RJ works just fine. Let it sit for several minutes before attempting to start from C/D. I don't use any liveries just the ones that come with the default plane.

Different plane, I know, but the F28 does the same, especially if there is a crosswind (I always fly with real weather). Like in the op's case, once you disconnect the autopilot the problem is gone.

Thanks, Mark - appreciate the workaround.

Hi all,

To provide an update on this, Navigraph have kindly been looking into this and they have found that the root cause of the navdata issue is due to differences in how MSFS 2024 handles aircraft packages compared to MSFS 2020. Essentially, whenever a file in an MSFS 2024 aircraft package is updated, that change must also be reflected in the package's layout.json file. This is very strictly enforced in MSFS 2024, so much so that even a small change in file size caused by a change in navdata is preventing the WASM gauge from reading data past a certain point in the file. MSFS 2020 aircraft packages are much more lenient in this regard, with small changes to file sizes being possible without updating the layout.json, hence why this has never been raised as an issue prior to the product(s) becoming MSFS 2024 compatible.

There are some changes we can make on our side that will permanently work around this issue, and those will be included in the next update to the affected aircraft.

In the mean time, for users who would like to use updated navdata in our MSFS 2024 compatible products we recommend the following steps:

Update the navdata for the respective aircraft in the Navigraph Hub. Download the free, community created MSFSLayoutGenerator tool via the following link: https://github.com/HughesMDflyer4/MSFSLayoutGenerator Navigate to the following file directory: ...\Community\justflight-aircraft-rj (the aircraft name will vary for each product). Drag and drop the "layout.json" file into the MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe. The Date Modified filed of the layout.json will update once the file has updated successfully. The changes will take effect the next time the simulator is launched.

I believe there were a few attempts at an RJ freighter, but the market just wasn't there for it. The most recent attempt appears to have concluded in 2017 when the market was saturated with 146 freighters: https://www.aircargonews.net/bae-postpones-plans-for-avro-rj100-freighter-conversion/19943.article

A sizeable number of the active 146 freighters have been modernised with EFIS cockpits, so the operators may feel like there aren't enough benefits to investing in what would likely be a niche, low production program.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. To be honest, it's not an area we have ever ventured into so it's not something we would be confident in committing to until we have properly researched what work may be involved in something like this.

We have added this on our internal feature request tracker though as something to possibly look into for a future update.

Thank you.

Wow, didn't even realize an audio panel was hiding under the EFB. Thanks, got it working!

This isn't something we are able to replicate on our side. Could we kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight support via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support

Included with the ticket, if you could provide details on the simulator being used, as well as a video of the behavior and/or steps on how to reproduce it, then that will allow our support team the best chance of being able to reproduce this behavior.

The RJ already uses 8K textures as standard for larger panel areas such as the main instrument panel. The difference between the RJ and F28 is the size of the texture sheets based on our artist's different techniques. The F28 has smaller texture sheets and therefore has a higher pixel density, the RJ has larger texture sheets and lower pixel density.

In order to have the same effect as the F28 optional 8K texture pack, the RJ would require an extensive rework of all the cockpit textures. A significant undertaking which wouldn't be feasible for us at the moment. Never say never, but we're very happy with the quality of the current RJ textures when viewed from the standard pilot position.

To the best of my knowledge, Swiss used that option as well. For nostalgic reasons, I'd kindly like to concur with Mac's request.
