RJ Professional

The correct way to disengage the autopilot in the RJ is to press the red AP DISC button on one of the yokes. If the autopilot has been forced off by other means, the autopilot "cavalry charge" audio can also be silenced by pressing the AP DISC button on the yoke. This can also be triggered using the TOGGLE DISENGAGE AUTOPILOT or TOGGLE AUTOPILOT MASTER control assignments.

It may also be worth considering that the Autopilot DISENGAGE switch on the MCP is only typically used in an emergency. If this switch is activated, the autopilot cannot be reengaged until this switch is returned to the up position. it may cause the autopilot "cavalry charge" audio to play until the switch has been reset and the AP DISC button pressed.

Hope that helps.

@Mark Thank you very much!

@Melon

... This is a royal pain.

Surely a hidden click spot would be easier ? They have those for one or two other functions.

@Mark Thank you very much!

@OwlInFlight It is not a thing of "what works better". It is about systems, nostalgia and options.

@Mark said in Turn Off Music after landing:

The automatic music is currently only linked to the "Auto Cabin Crew" option on the EFB, so the only way to turn it off in the sim would be to disable the "Auto Cabin Crew" option or to manually turn it off on the music player once the music has started playing.

If you would like to permanently prevent music from playing, you could delete the .wav files from the following file directory: ...\Community\justflight-aircraft-rj\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_RJ_70\sound

That is not something I have ever done personally though, so please bear in mind a reinstall of the product may be required if deleting those files causes any unexpected issues.

Thank you very much. I just reduced the volumes on the .wav files. Thank you

Thank you for the feedback. I've logged this on our internal bugs/feature request tracker for our development team to look into.

Yes, this is expected logic. The ENG A-ICE ON caption on the CSP will illuminate whenever any ENG ANT-ICE switch is ON, or when an intake ant-ice valve is open with the ENG ANT-ICE switch OFF. This allows for the detection of an intake valve that may have failed in the open position. If a valve fails to open, the caption will remain illuminated when the ENG ANT-ICE switch is selected OFF.

As far as I know, there isn't a "standard" FMS fitted to the real-world RJ. Every airline fitted their own preferred FMS so there are a few possible options, including UNS-1, GNS-XLS and GNLU-910A. The latter is the FMS we have simulated in the RJ Professional.

There isn't any way to see how long is left on the alignment process in the aircraft. However, as a general rule of thumb alignment will take 2.5 minutes at the equator, and can take as long as 15 minutes at 70 degrees latitude.

The FAQ posted a few comments above also includes a fast align 'hack' if you wish to speed up the process.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The engine response times are custom-coded based on videos taken in the real RJ. It would be expected for the spool times to be much quicker than higher-bypass engines that you would find on an A320 or 737 as there's a lot less rotating mass in the LF507s by comparison. I will bring this up with our development team though just to double-check everything.

With regards to some systems (like the TRP and YD) not being functional following a change of aircraft state on the EFB, this possibly could be misunderstood for the FGC test. If the aircraft's power supply is changed when switching states (such as Cold and Dark > Turnaround) an FGC Test will be triggered once the power is restored. Off the top of my head, the FGC Test takes 45 seconds to complete after power has been applied to the aircraft and during that time, a few systems such as the TRP and YD will not be functional. Once the FGC Test is complete, an FGC PASS message will appear at the top right corner of the PFD.

I suspect it may be possible to confuse the FGC Test logic if a change of aircraft state is made before an FGC test is completed (I.e. if the aircraft state is changed from Cold and Dark > Turnaround, then 10 seconds later to Ready For TO). I doubt it would be an issue if only one aircraft state change was made every minute. We'll do some tests with this to see if we can break that logic and if so, prevent that from occurring in the future.

If the "Auto Cabin Crew" option is enabled on the EFB, the boarding music will stop as soon as the doors are closed after boarding.

If a trigger hasn't been met and the music is continuously playing after the doors have closed, the music can be switched off by pressing the top left button on the music player in the forward galley.

Thank you for that Mark. Very cool way to get the codes I need.

Edit: forgot that I should not use disconnect on mcp ... on yoke instead.

Been a while !

@Cedric-Hunter Thank You - will try that next time.

In SpadNext, I am using PED_MID_Eng1_throttle_drag_VC1 as the variable for engine 1, for example. It’s working just fine

Thanks for the info!
