Avro RJ expansion

Noob21

Does JF plan on eventually working on an Avro RJ expansion with the relevant engine and avionics changes? Or standalone considering the Avro RJ has a substantially more modern cockpit.

Voice of Reason

@Noob21 Yes we are, work already well underway.

Noob21

@Voice-of-Reason quite interested, any pics JF could share?

Voice of Reason

@Noob21 A couple of the latest from the Dev team.

@Voice-of-Reason quite nice, I can’t wait to hopefully see these in MSFS, the amount of accurate sounds are astounding

@Voice-of-Reason
Is the WXR functional or just a texture?

@Voice-of-Reason Nice. Cannot wait for the 146 and AVRO RJ!

Will the RJ expansion also feature the Collins FMS that was common on the fleet?

The two I know existed on the plane: FMS GNLU-910 or GNS-X

We'll be providing some more info on the RJs at they progress further, including the FMC.

Can't wait, this looks great! Day 1 purchase for me.

same here.
I am looking forward to this expansion. :-)

JoeNuts

probably a dumb question but will this expansion also come for the xp11 version later?

Martyn

Yes, that's our intention.

@Voice-of-Reason new pictures pls:smiling_face:

Voice of Reason

@MareTranquillitatis No new pictures as nothing new to show at the moment I'm afraid.

Hi JF Team, hope you are well. Just wondering how the progress is going on the RJ for p3d? Love flying the 146, and can't wait to get some updated avionics in there. Wallet is at the ready!

FailCold

Hi @Martyn and JF Team, a gentle nudge on this - are we still expecting the RJ for p3d? Thanks :-)

Hello,
any news about FMS and RJ progress?

I guess due to missing progress since january a lot of simmers hold back to buy the XP version of the 146 and your recent MSFS products... (so do I - not feeling motivated to buy the piper aircraft series a third time).

...my gut feelings tell me the 146 is becoming abandonware... kinda sad!

stay safe!

Martyn

Apologies for the lack of replies here, we can't guarantee to read every forum thread and post so it's also worth getting in touch directly.

The visuals (model/textures) for the RJ are already complete but unfortunately we've just not had the capacity to progress the systems coding in recent months as the coder originally attached to that project was no longer available. The current plan is to work on the RJ coding alongside the MSFS version of the 146, starting later this summer.

The timeline for the XP11 version isn't linked to that and work is already underway on that.

And just to confirm, the 146 is not abandonware and will be supported like all our other in-house aircraft.

Since the 146 is now released, are there any news on the Avro RJ?
