RJ Professional

Finally got the FMC to find the flight plan.

Up to now I have been starting FS24 THEN creating a flight plan in SimBrief and placing the flight plan in the folder as directed by Martyn. But when ever I did this the FMC would not find the flight plan.

Today however I created the flight plan via SimBrief and then placed the flight plan into the relevant folder BEFORE starting FS24.

This time it worked. Coincidence? Or perhaps because the game was already running it would not see the flight plan file being placed into the folder. I had to place it in there BEFORE starting the game.

Thank you Mark, sounds like Asobo made a lot of claims about things that were new and improved that may have been a little more exaggerated then reality about this new sim.

I was finally able to complete a flight. I'm pretty sure the engines shutting off was my own fault. The plane not moving hasn't recurred. If I have any other consistent problems I'll open a ticket. Thanks.

Ross Carlson published a beta-update for vPilot. Version 3.11.0.
I already tested it (as beta tester) and the problems, with monitoring the "not-TX-channel", without selecting RX3, are gone.

Thank you for the feedback. The autopilot disconnecting in turbulence isn't something we can replicate on our side, but we also don't have FSRealistic or Realturb installed. If you are able to find any correlation between those that would be useful information for us, as there are a few other forum users experiencing somewhat related behaviour.

Something that we have recommended to a few users is to reduce the Turbulence setting in Settings > Assistances > Turbulence. By default, this is set to "Realistic" which can cause the turbulence to feel quite aggressive, so we recommend trying "Low" or "Medium" and then seeing how you get on with that.

The CONT IGN switches should be OFF during a normal takeoff, however, they should be switched ON if there is standing water, slush or snow on the runway, or if heavy precipitation is in the vicinity.

As far as I'm aware, as long as there are no active failures, and the PED has suitable electrical power, there should be no reason why the PED should power off in flight.

If you run into that issue again, if you are able to share a screenshot/video of that then that may help us see what may be causing that.

@Martyn Good to know. Thank you Martyn.

@Martyn Today there was a update in the Navigraph Hub for the RJ - I will check and report asap.

Hey Mark! I changed the turbulence to low because it really was getting wild on some flights, and have had a significantly more consistent experiene

@Mark thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. There is a lot to digest there but I'll leave a few comments below on a few points.

With regards to the aircraft loading in, there are some known issues with WASM compiling in MSFS 2024 as well as an issue with the latest Navigraph 2412 navdata that can cause displays not the power on. This is covered in point 1 of the following FAQ as well as some workarounds: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000143831-rj-professional-msfs-2024-known-issues

The file directory for flight plans is different in MSFS 2024 compared to the previous simulator:

MSFS 2020 – Microsoft Store:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

MSFS 2020 – Steam:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

MSFS 2024 – Microsoft Store:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2020\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

MSFS 2024 – Steam:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2020\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

The three RJ Professional manuals have also been updated with the v0.1.2 update to include various minor differences between 2020 and 2024 file directories:

RJ Professional Operations Manual
RJ Professional EFB Manual
GNLU-910A FMS Operations Manual

We'll continue to monitor feedback for the other points you have mentioned, and apply any necessary fixes in the upcoming updates to the RJ Professional.

Thank you for the feedback. I have logged that on our internal bug/feature request tracker for our development team to look into.

Despite following Martyn’s revised Steam link, and my putting the simbrief generated flight plan into that folder, my RJ100 FMC still is unable to retrieve the flight plan.

Not a big issue for me as I generally prefer to add the waypoints in manually.

Yes, the airbrake and lift spoiler do require hydraulic pressure in the relevant systems in order for them to deploy.

The inboard lift spoilers are powered by the yellow hydraulic system, and the outboard lift spoilers and airbrake are powered by the green hydraulic system. With the engines running, the hydraulic systems are powered by the engine 2 and engine 3 pumps. With the engine shutdown, the hydraulic systems can be powered using the AC Pump and PTU.

Not able to reproduce the error today, pressurizing as it should

The RJ EFB does not have the ability to to send the Simbrief flight plan directly to the MCDU. It will load the plane with passengers and fuel, that's it. The Simbrief flight plan has to be downloaded into PC folder. Then using the MCDU can be loaded in. All those instructions are in the manual. I would love to see the RJ be ble to fully use the 2024 EFB also. Being able to send MCDU plans to the sim and receive plans from it.

Thank you "Benji2210" I did as you suggested by unchecking and rechecking the Avro RJ box in "GSX" and I now have a cabin full of seated passengers.

I spent over an hour last night trying out every combination for loading and initializing the aircraft, and I was getting the FMS screen turning on about once or twice for every 10 loads. It didn't matter if it was on the runway or the ramp. I tried multiple airports, real-time vs. setting specific times, etc, real weather vs fixed. The times the FMS turned on seemed completely random and I could not identify a repeatable pattern of success.
