RJ Professional

Thanks, #1 is exactly what I asked for and it works.

happy to report all user error (my fault) had the ign selector on the TM Airbus Throttle set to Crank. but it in normal position andd EGT spooled up

A little update:

Flight today -> ESMS-EDDM /FL180 -> MSFS 2020

I did everything like always following my Checklist. No problem at all. I don't know that about what went wrong yestarday. I had one other unusual event with FDR yestarday - there isn't a light at all as I cchecked it.

Thak You!

General advice, landing and taxi in, typically achieves 450-550C. Brake fans running on chocks after shutdown and before engine start must be for a minimum of 15 minutes. Typically, if you start up and taxi after a minimum of 20 minutes and can start the takeoff with brake temps at a maximum of 200C, all OK.

There are tables within the aircraft manuals for calculating the required cooling period if brake fans or BTI are unserviceable. In service, on a hot day with a 30 to 40 minutes turnaround after a max weight landing on a 6,000’ runway, the brakes would be usually be found cool enough to start up and taxi out.

Hi Mark,
One of the routes I like to do is EGBB-EICK. Departing runway 15 the RJ picks up the Honiley (HON 113.65) VOR, then I retune to the Compton(CPT114.35) VOR, then I retune to Strumble(113.1) VOR. These I tune on Nav 2 and all work fine. I then tune Nav 2 to the Cork(CRK114.6) VOR but because of the distance away it doesn't tune straight away.
I then set up the approach, with the ILS usually for runway 34 on Nav 1 (109.15)

So all goes well until I tune the Cork VOR on Nav 2 and the ILS on Nav 1 which on this flight did not work.

I have flown this route before and not had a problem. Sometimes I've had the same problem at other airports, Vigo in Spain, Stavanger in Norway. These airports I have flown into at other times with no problem.

I always use RJ100 but can't see this being the problem, as no one else on the forum has reported any problems with tunning VOR's it must be something I am doing or not.

Great plane by the way.

With the "Auto Cabin Lights" option enabled on the EFB, the cabin lights will be switched on automatically once boarding has started.

We did test the RJ up to its maximum crosswind components of 35 knots, and sufficient yaw control was confirmed with the "Rudder Steering Axis" option enabled and disabled to maintain the runway centreline. That's not to say something in the sim, or other changes to the flight model may have changed that at some point post-release though, so we have made a note to double-check that ahead of the next update.

The "quirky" nose wheel steering/rudder control that you mentioned is a known side effect of a fix that was created to prevent conflicts between the nose wheel steering axis and rudder axis control assignments. From our testing (as well as feedback we received since that fix was applied), the current method of nose wheel steering is the better logic and should match the behaviour seen in other aircraft that have the option to disable the nose wheel steering from the rudder axis.

Thanks all for your response.

I suspect that it may be a spoilers control assignment that may be the culprit. I will check that when I am next in the sim.

This is intentional logic as the callouts are based on the speed flipchart on the main instrument panel, which if the FLIPCHART WT SYNC is enabled on the EFB, will always provide the correct speeds for the aircraft's current weight. The speed flipchart doesn't include V1 speeds, so we assume V1=VR as recommended in the FCOMs.

I do recall that in the 146 FCOM, there are warnings advising pilots not to change the set altitude or vertical mode during the ALT ACQ phase. So you would let the aircraft acquire the altitude before then making any further adjustments to the autopilot vertical modes. With the RJ sharing a lot of the philosophy from the 146, that is likely good practice to follow in the RJ too.

For reports such as this, we kindly ask that you contact Just Flight Support via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support

Our support team will be able to assist with replicating the behavior and logging a bug on our internal trackers if required:

This is expected behavior as the TOC calculations are essentially the predicated TOC calculated by the data entered in the FMS. Therefore, the TOC point calculations are only re-calculated once something has been executed in the FMS. Note that although these calculations will never be perfectly accurate due to external factors such as temperature and wind, etc, the TOC calculations are something we have logged internally as something to potentially look into improving in the future.

Mark - Just Flight

This is expected behavior as the altitude fixes are fixed points derived from the navdata. It is something we have logged internally as something to potentially look into improving in the future.

Hi all,

Based on comments on the FSDT forums, it looks like a fix for this was included in the latest GSX update (v3.4.5): https://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,33033.0.html

Mark - Just Flight

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.

Mark - Just Flight

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.

Mark - Just Flight

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.
