RJ Professional

Nevermind...a reinstall cured this.

I agree with the comments made by Mark and A Former User. I can add a little from the real aircraft perspective. The altimeter system (unlike that of the RJ) is obviously more prone to variations of holding altitude with speed changes/temperature and power changes. The research aircraft at Cranfield has, as I understand it, undergone been modification to use the RJ sensors to allow RVSM operations- but I doubt that was cheap to do! I guess they can get up above 146 operating altitudes as it’s not carrying 112 pax. 146 type: Having captured (say) FL 280, the ability to maintain it varies with change of speed; slow down a few knots/M and it will descend slightly; increase speed and it will climb slightly. Speed changes may be the result of warmer/colder airmass and subsequent N1 increase or decrease, as well as fuel burn and a reduction in a/c mass. How much climb or descent? Some a/c were better than others, but typically 50’ to 80’ from required altitude. We had a form to fill in an advise the engineers if we thought it excessive. We would record parameters such as OAT (or was it TAT?), Fl, speed/mach, N1 and captured altitude and variance. They had a BAe doc to compare to and decided if it was acceptable or not. To recapture the assigned FL, most pilots used the sync button. Very few used the pitch UP/DOWN on the rear of the centre console and ALT capture - it was so prone to under/overshoot. I’m happy when I have the time to answer other 146/RJ questions if I can. But, we will fall out if you keep calling the thrust levers ‘throttles’. Cessna like to use ‘throttle’ for their jet - but BAe do not.

Both YELLOW and GREEN can supply an anti skid function to the single set of brakes on each main wheel. The yellow system also has an EMGY brake function and BAT selection that have no anti skid function. A few things could be wrong. If hydraulic pressure is OK, check that the ANTI SKID switch is selected ON (not BATT). Also, try selecting the other brake system to that in use. If the INOP indication still remains lit I would suspect a software error or a selection within the EFB. The EMGY Brake switch (on the centre console) in EMGY Yellow position or ANTI SKID switch in the BATT position would not be expected to cause either a FAULT or INOP indication, but it would cause cause a loss of ANT SKID function.

It has been logged on our internal trackers but there is no progress to share at the moment. It is something we will be discussing with our sound developer ahead of the next update to the RJ. Mark - Just Flight

Sounds like a controller conflict to me. Have you turned rudder axis steering off in the EFB / Settings menu?

Thanks. Hasn't been a problem now.

OK. There is a second switch at the starboard side of the cockpit entrance. This switch, in conjunction with the cockpit entry light switch that you refer to, operates as a two-way switch - that’s why the switch you refer to is not mark ON/OFF. I suspect that is why you are seeing the behaviour that you are. FYI: The power for these entry lights can be drawn through; External AC, AC Bus 2, or Ground Services Bus.

The funny thing is, this just happened to me again today - noticed my fuel wasn't decreasing during a flight in the Duke, realized there was a SU1 beta update when I first started the sim yesterday. It doesn't change settings for everybody, I wish I knew why it did it for me.

@RPGamerous thanks. I initially used the ap disengage and when that disable AP but I still had the issue, then I used the disengage bar. But I do have honeycomb bravo assignments. Your comment has made me think about removing them all and trying again.

I like to draw attention to this topic by saying I see the exact same thing in HP Reverb g2. It would be very nice if this gets fixed. Some smaller buttons are hard to click without closing one eye (the takeoff config check, the nav frequency switcher) and for instance the tablet 'home' button always takes a few tries to hit. Thanks in advance for looking into this!

That’s the way I see it on the sim.

Hi, Well unfortunately there is not a lot of performance data available now. I will try to attaché what I have. Just Flight wont permit me to copy files, but here is a link to one set of data. There are still operators of the 146/RJ, you could try contacting them, I'm sure they would help with a university project. You could also try contacting BAE Systems. i must admit from the point of view of the Spreadsheet I have been testing the performance calculations against the Just Flight aircraft as that is the only option I have. but I'm pretty confident, based on the historical routes operated that Just Flight have done an excellent job. If the link doesn't work try searching for "RJ Technical Data at a glance". chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.aviation-broker.com/fileadmin/user_upload/jetxchange/flugzeugmodelle/general/RJ_Tech_data_at_a_glance__April_2004.pdf Good Luck

That's very clever, thanks

Just reporting back that after reinstalling it, ILS has been working the last few flights. So far so good, hope this stays this way.

Hi, No answer. Let me simplify Is there a way to write to these two variables? JF_RJ_AP_HDG, JF_RJ_AP_Alt Good Day, Emmanuel
