Following the release of the updated version 2 of the BAe 146 airliner that Just Flight created for Microsoft Flight Simulator, its successor, the Avro RJ gets a status update as that project moves towards completion. Here’s the latest!
Liveries, systems, move forward
It’s not quite ready for prime-time yet but Just Flight’s developer team have been busy working on several projects including the Avro RJ. The latest development work has been focused in several different areas including integrating the updates that were made to the 146 Professional into the RJ. The RJ will feature the same version 2 featureset of the 146 which includes cabin crew simulation, boarding simulation, failures, paper charts and checklist, state saving, SimBrief integration, and Navigraph charts support.
Systems work is another big area with the Avro RJ featuring a significant upgraded cockpit that includes an EFIS panel display, a fully automatic pressurization system, engine FADEC system and more. Just Flight reports that systems work is nearly complete with testing on their work coming next. They also report that one area still in progress is the integration of various navigation systems such as the GNLU-910A FMS with the autopilot. Once that work is done they say that VNAV and LNAV modes were be worked on as well.
Finally, the RJ Professional is now up to 30 liveries spread out across the three variants of the airplane. Some of the more colourful and unique examples are shared below.
