Hi, I’m curious how much range would the auxiliary tank add to the RJ1H? In addition, any additional procedure I need to add during flight with these tanks equipped? Thanks!

The two optional auxiliary fuel tanks will each hold 468kg/1,032lbs of fuel (total of 936kg/2,064lbs).
I don't have the exact fuel figures to hand at the moment, but if we say the RJ burns up to 2,000KG/hr in cruise, then those auxiliary fuel tanks will provide almost 30 minutes of extra flight time.
If you use SimBrief, the RJ Professional profiles on there are set up based on the aircraft's maximum fuel capacity with auxiliary fuel tanks fitted, so that will be a good indicator of what flights are possible within the RJ's range.
Hope that helps.
