I want this aircraft SO badly...

...but, I've only just started MSFS so not sure I can justify the £50 price tag. What is like to fly in 'arcade' mode? You know what I mean!

I'll learn to sim with it eventually but I want to just have fun for now. :) Does it handle well?

@clevatreva I think for "just for fun" and for a beginner it is much better to use GA planes and not a study level airliner. You do not make your driving license in a formula 1 racecar ;)
And the stock C152, C172 are really good to start your virtual pilot career.

@hama Thanks. I get that but just wanted to know if it handles well. I'd assume it does. Although new to MSFS I've played DCS and Falcon 4 (back in its heyday). ;)

@clevatreva Over all i would say it handles well, if you follow the procedures.
I have an issue that it does not hold the cruise height in AP and that is a reason why i did not use it for a longer time now. And sometimes rain and clouds strave through the cockpit... So i am waiting for an update that hopefully fixes these things.
Actually i have more fun in flying mir modern aircraft like the 737.

Have you contacted Just Flight support about these problems?

Is the model available with the later glass cockpit or would that strictly be on the RJ variants?

@clevatreva The 146 does only have the steam gauges. And it is equiped with an FMC what is limited in functions.

No Derek, i have not. I posted the issue with rain/clouds in the cockpit longer ago here in the forum and someome from the dev team mentioned this is a known issue that will be fixed in an upcoming update.

OK. That's good to hear.

@clevatreva RJ is in development now. It will be released later this year. Owners of the current 146 will qualify for a discount on it.

@voice-of-reason Great news, thanks. :)

@clevatreva And what is about an update for the 146, please?
