Well, that sounds at least a bit positive!

I agree with you there but my question is, do we actually have the basis for a fundamentally-decent 'plane in the CRJ? My gut is telling me to go with FSS AGās E-Jets instead as theyāre being updated every couple of weeks currently.
yeah hope it happens. Thereās quite a few aircraft Iām holding out hope for by years end. Regardless of developer, to appear on xbox.

Iāve seen an issue with the knobs not clicking, I can normally get round this by clicking on them first with the right mouse button and then clicking the left, no idea why this seems to work though?!

Anyone else having difficulty starting both engines with the Boris soundpack enabled? I can start APU, APU GEN, and RH engine fine, but the starter of LH engine wonāt illuminate with a press and the engine remains unable to start. The CONT light is illuminated. Anyone else?
I just did a flight before this minus the sound pack and both engines start fine.
EDIT/UPDATE, so if I cut off fuel to RH engine to stop it, then LH engine suddenly starts! and I can add fuel to it and itās fine. BUT then the RH engine wonāt start again and the RH start light wonāt illuminate. What is going on with this sound pack? It appears to be messing up the engine start functionality.
EDIT/UPDATE: I tried with a different livery and a sim reboot (again) and itās fine now. Also switched back to previous livery and itās also fine now. So apparently 2 sim reboots was the answer!
So it was the livery then. I havenāt had any problem with the soundpack.

I switched the livery back and it worked the next time. So maybe more like a caching problem or something. 
It was weird. 2 sim reboots and it was fine. Initially those engine start buttons were bugged and only one engine was startable.
So sequence was -
- soundpack (marketplace) installed
- rebooted sim
- booted in with a livery I had used already on a flight this morning (before soundpack install where engines had started fine), now with the soundpack enabled the engine switches & startup were in the bugged state.
- tried to restart flight from world map with same livery - still in bugged state
- tried rebooting sim then launch flight with same livery - still in bugged state
- rebooted sim and changed livery - everything ok
- switched back to original livery in same sim session - everything still ok.

Can someone please tell me where to post to get help with the boris CRJ sound set I bought from the market place??? please and thank you!!
This topic contains the info of Third Party devs.
Boris is in there.
The sound pack is not working at all, still have stock sounds, I uninstalled the crj and the sound pack still no luck!
Hmmm, itās pretty straight forward just drop into your Community folder.
Do you have multiple community folders? And after you extracted the zip is it the root folder you have inside the Community folder? not a nested / parent one?
this has been an issue that occurs for some reason which I havenāt tracked down why. To fix it, go to your msfs official packages, find something along the lines of orbx-sound-crj and drag that to your community folder, he fixed it on Discord using those instructions, thanks everyone for the help!!

E jets are fine and good too. but itās a different plane. so yes there is a desire for the CRJ
I got the CRJ bundle (550/700/900/1000) yesterday, discounted by 25% at Contrail. Itās nowhere near as bad as some claim, but I do agree re the ground handling, which feels a bit too āperfectā. As soon as you release the tiller, the nosewheel straightens in less than a second! In reality, friction would not allow that.
I hope they update it soon as the last improvements were well over a year ago ā it was the simās first study-level airliner and has the fundamentals to make an excellent aircraft if brought up to 2024ās standards.

also to make it available to Xbox users.

Yes, despite its flaws itās still one of my favourite airplanes in the sim. Itās probably the least fps demanding airliner, graphically very well done and with the new Boris soundpack itās a treat. I really hope Aerosoft releases a patch as promised.

Iāve been learning it the past few hours. Quite frustrating at first as itās very different to anything else Iāve flown, except perhaps the JF 146. Iām not sure how close to reality it is but even in AP, there appears a need to monitor things more closely than in something more automated like the 320. Like the JF 146, itās probe to over-flaring, although thatās likely because itās more nimble than what Iām otherwise used to flying. Iām sure itās no coincidence that two small regional jets handle fairly similarly.
Iām not sure why itās had so much negative publicity ā the only real issue I can find (so far) is that āoverly efficientā tiller.
Thereās no wing flex that I can see but the engine exhaust effects are well done and I think thereās a bit of wing wobble when you touch down?
certainly no fps issues, unlike the FSS ERJs. That said, the ERJs got quite an update yesterday and the differences are already noticeable after only a few minutesā flying.
Iām not sure why they havenāt brought this to Xbox yet but if they do, thatāll be the time to expect an update.

Itās very close to reality. If you have some spare time you can watch this brilliant video with a real CRJ pilot in the background:

Anyone else notice the cabin calls are missing with the boris audio pack installed?
