RJ Professional

Yes, my experience with both is that they have the same systems depth. The RJ may have EFIS, but don't let that fool you as there's no VNAV, only advisory VNAV (just like the real aircraft). The RJ is much more hands-on than for example the 737NG. Unlike the 146 it has autothrottle, but it won't select a thrust mode automatically like the 737NG would. The procedures are old school just like with the 146 (lenghty procedures with loads of system tests). So it's just a notch above a 146 with an EFIS retrofit. If you want a more hands-on airplane with EFIS that still has a decent autopilot, the RJ is an excellent choice. I prefer the RJ, but that's just my personal taste and not because the product is a better product than the 146.

Thanks Mark... Rob

@Mark - Thank you! That worked.

We're not aware of any compatibility issues between 146 Professional v2.4a and RJ Professional v1.4. Could I kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support, and one of our team will be able to assist with troubleshooting this: https://www.justflight.com/support Mark - Just Flight

If the BRK FANS switch is in the AUTO position, then power will be removed from the brake fans when the nose gear is not down and locked. However, even if the BRK FANS switch is in the ON position, the small, enclosed landing gear bay will slow down brake cooling, as there isn't really anywhere for the hot air to go.

Thanks for reporting this. This is a known issue, and we do have a fix already implemented for our other airliners that will make its way into the RJ in the next update. Mark - Just Flight

said in ND Data and Alt hold small bugs: @awde Looks like the standard reply should have been sent out which is basically "we will log these issues and pass them to the dev team". This was done but someone probably forgot to reply. Apologies for that. Meanwhile, the dev team is aware and will be looking at what's possible to resolve in a future update(s). Thanks for passing it on.

Thanks for the feedback. This is something we have on our internal feature request tracker as something we'd like to improve in the future. Mark - Just Flight

Understood. Thank you.

I'll add my observations as well for 2020. Running a 4080 Super with 9800x 3D, downscaling ALL textures (VC, cabin etc) to 2K, hiding the EFB, and hiding the cabin, as well as lowering the gauge refresh rate nets me about 3-5 FPS in most scenarios. But, compared to the 146, F28, Fenix, PMDG products, and others; I'm running well lower 15-25+ FPS overall (typically 30-45 FPS for the Avro, 70-80+ for others in the same airport/weather/traffic scenarios). The RJ is definitely one of the hardest hitting products in my sim. I think I've exhausted most of the tricks trying to squeeze some more performance out of it, and would love to hear if any further optimizations could be made for it someday. Open to any other ideas anyone may have!

From what I can see on reference photos, the 146 and RJ should both share the same centre pillar design on the windshield, and that is reflected in our 146 and RJ products. I can see there is a slight taper on both real aircraft, so I've logged that on our internal trackers as something to possibly look into adding in the future. We intentionally added the current type of weather radar to the RJ, as that was the only weather radar we had available to us at the time of release. We do have a feature request logged on our internal tracker to model an additional type of weather radar, but nothing is planned at the moment. Mark - Just Flight

@Mark said in Where are airline configuration options saved?: The livery_config.ini only supports the default liveries in the RJ at the moment, and I believe any third-party liveries will always load in with all equipment enabled. That right there is why I've been pulling my hair out then. Every single third party livery does indeed load with all equipment enabled by default on every single flight (even if I exit to main menu/close the sim). I'll sit tight for the next RJ update now, thank you.

The best thing to do here will be to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support at the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support In the ticket, please attach that video and include any additional information that may help our support team replicate this behaviour (flight plan, arrival airport/runway, default/third-party airport, weather conditions, etc.). Our support team will then be best positioned to attempt to replicate this and pass it on to the development team if required. Mark - Just Flight

Thanks Mark

Great, thank you.

If they're sitting slightly above idle, that suggests it may be related to the throttle axis sensitivity curves, or it may be related to which control assignment is being used to control the throttles (see a similar thread here: https://community.justflight.com/topic/9025/rj-and-thrustmaster-airbus-throttle?_=1762424953968) I'd recommend having a quick read through that other thread just to see if changing any control assignments fixes this. If you do continue to experience this issue, could I kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support via the following link, and our support team will be best placed to offer any assistance with recommended controller sensitivities/settings: https://www.justflight.com/support Mark - Just Flight

@pippenilha It's a bug in RJ, not other plane does it apart of RJ and Vulcan. I opened a ticket with JF support a few weeks ago, they acknowledged there is an issue but nothing about a potential fix.

Thanks! The RJ is a quirky airplane (compared to the 737 and A320) so it's easy to get things wrong, both in terms of procedures and systems design.
