Just Flight announces the Avro RJ series for MSFS

Hi all,

Just a quick post to say that we’ve provided an update on MSFS 2024 compatibility here: Just Flight - More information about Just Flight aircraft in MSFS 2024

That includes some screenshots showing a recent test flight in the RJ.

Flawless - runs even smoother than the Bae 146 - but I do not use any third party airports..

thank you very much!

what I am now curious about, since I am running on so many performance issues on 2024, is if future updates will be for both the platforms or 2020 supports will cease

many thanks!

Thank you for your response , Marty :heart: Do you have plan to support new flight plan in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 ? As a Xbox user I willing to pay for upgrade :blush:

Bought the RJ today for 2020 as 2024 is still not working for me

I gotta say Justflight have outdone themselves again :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

I did just the same. Spent my money on the JF RJ instead of 2024 - I’ll give that a month or two to settle out and get an update or two before jumping in.

Having gotten back into the 146 recently and really enjoying it, I thought this would be a good step into a semi-glass cockpit. Haven’t flown it yet, but will dive in this weekend and learn the differences.

I almost did the same. I was weighing MS2024 vs a new aircraft. Ended up getting a PMDG 737 and am getting the RJ next. I had a sneaking suspicion 2024 would be half baked at this point.

I bought the F28 on sale but haven’t flown it at all yet because I’m still occupied with the 146.

I hope Just Flight sell this one like hot cakes because they deserve it. It’s difficult for me to keep variety and fly anything else, it’s brilliant.

Buying this one instead of MSFS2024.

Same for me but the Fenix bit the 146.

Every morning I log onto JustFlight and hover over the buy now. Even though I would get the discount in the MP, I’d rather just give JF full money because they always knock it out of the park

There are plenty of new planes on MSFS2024 and new scenery to keep me busy.
When the RJ b2comes native 2024 I’ll buy it right away!

Exactly, the RJ and the Starship will be -hopefully- my first purchases from the 2024 marketplace.
I will need a frequent flier badge from JustFlight :slight_smile:

I’m waiting the 2024 version to buy it.

So you will never buy MSFS 2024 even after the bugs have been ironed out? I don’t really understand this argument. I bought MSFS 2024 day one but I’m mainly flying on MSFS 2020 right now because of VATSIM and the bug free experience. However, I know I will get into 2024 once the bugs have been fixed and the sim is VATSIM compatible. It’s just so much prettier and the flight dynamics are way better.

I bought both the AVRO and MSFS 2024. It will be awesome to fly it in the new sim once it’s compatible with VATSIM.

Didn’t say never, but it seems to me 24 needs quite some time to ripe. And it depends on whether they open 24 for modding and how good the concept of streaming everything will work out.
So wait and see and enjoy the Avro for the time being.

Hi all.

We’re aiming to release the v1.1 update for 2020 tomorrow. As usual, there’ll be a delay before the Marketplace version is processed and release, and it seems that might be longer than usual at the moment due to the 2024 release.

  • Increased deboarding simulation speed (doesn’t affect GSX deboarding)
  • Fixed issue where triggering boarding caused refuelling to revert to pending, or vice versa
  • Fixed GND SERVICE switch logic in galley
  • Fixed multiple Cabin Calls cannot be made without first cancelling the call
  • Improved GND CALL logic, GSX and default pushback tug connections will now trigger the GND CALL annunciator

Thank you and the team for the continued efforts in this lovely plane!
It is my favourite airliner because of the great attention to detail and system functionality.

Hi all.

The v1.1 update is now available for our customers. Stores like SimMarket will be receiving the new installer later today. Unfortunately there’s a bit of a backlog with the Marketplace following the release of MSFS 2024, so we can’t provide a timescale for release on there yet.
