ofcourse :slight_smile:

Very helpful but I’m still confused. Watching the videos by “Real CRJ Pilot”, he states that in RL, they fly the approach in “green needles” with the LOC selected as the navigation mode.

1877

That’s how I fly it in the v2 too.

1878

That would be method for V1 stated above, and is still usable in V2. V2 new method just seems to have been enhanced a bit for those that like more automation. I can’t possibly comment on how accurate to IRL it is though, but it’s useful to be aware of in the sim.

According to a video I’ve seen with a real CRJ pilot your first method is how they (some american regional airline) usually do it IRL.

That’s correct. You should still set the NAV source to NAV.

1881

So can we summarise this by saying V2 has a new “enhanced” but not necessarily realistic ILS tuning automated method, that isn’t there IRL but has been added for those who don’t like manually entering an ILS frequency or rotating a dial to change nav sources.

1882

No, the automatic method is realistic, and is there IRL. What happens is that the automatic method is also not very reliable IRL, in other words sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t so most pilots prefer to use the manual method that always works.
If the automatic method is also not very reliable in the sim then it will be completely realistic.

That’s interesting to know. Thanks.

V1 liveries are not directly compatible with V2
I would stick to using the ones provided by Aerosoft or download ones from flightsim.to that are marked as compatible with V2. Supposedly, you can convert V1 liveries to V2, but I haven’t tried it

Guys and gals, if you having trouble flying the V2 CRJ, I recommend checking out the YourSimCFI channel on YT. He does live streams and videos on V2, and is also a real world, CRJ FO and a beta tester for it as well. I’ve learned enough from him, that I’m flying properly and really enjoying the CRJ V2. The only issue I still have is the really heavy rotation required to lift off
But that and an improved flight model is coming, hopefully soon

Does anyone connected to the Marketplace know when it will be released to owners who originally purchased the CRJ there?

As I fly this new version, a few random comments -

Properly trimmed, the aircraft pretty much rotates and flies itself off the runway right around Vr speed. Is this normal?

Still having issues with it blowing past the localizer.

You can push the yaw damper, mach trim buttons all you want, they remain dark. I believe Verson 1 used to have them illuminate when they were off. You used to also get annunciator warnings on the EICAS screen.

I haven’t messed with the HUD that much but I recall that it is supposed to have multiple modes, include cruise, ILS and a couple of others. Did these get replicated in V2?

It is so easy to get behind this aircraft. The lack of autothrottle is a real (but somewhat fun) challenge. More than once I’ve been head down in the cockpit and then noted speed had bled off to nearly stall speed.

Hoping Thursday but don’t know

Doesn’t seem anyone knows for sure. No info anywhere.

1889

If “anyone” has information about CRJV2 and Marketplace..please update. Surprised Aerosoft didnt provide some type of workaround for those of us who supported their CRJ release 4-5 years ago.

I really don’t know how MS can allow this to happen without even saying “sorry”.

There is a new CRJ update but you can’t get it if you bought the plane from the MSFS Marketplace. Such a disservice is really hard to believe.

Unfortunately it has been happening for years now

Meaning you can’t get it at all, or we just have to wait until it’s pushed to the MP?

1893

MP owners have to wait for it to be published to MP, as always. Allegedly the ingestion time in 2024 is going to be better - I won’t judge them on that yet though as they’re still working through a very hefty backlog just to get the Marketplace into a steady-state.

It all comes down to good community engagement and marketing. If it’s true to life that it doesn’t always capture the ils then they should make a thing out of this. “The CRJ v2 includes all the quirks of the real aircraft, making for a more dynamic and interesting experience. Be sure to check out these guides on capturing ils, etc
