Piloting commuter aircraft is most attractive for flight simulator fans that like flying according Instrument flight rules (IFR), but have limited time available to spend. Commuter aircraft servicing connections from smaller airports to the big hubs and vice versa and are intensive flying in the real world as well as in the simulator.

*Short note: Through the update offer above, CRJ 550/700 buyers of simMarket will receive the CRJ 900/1000 variant!

A famous representative of this aircraft category is the Bombardier (nowadays Mitsubishi) CRJ line of 50 to 100 passengers. Originally developed to replace the more uncomfortable and noisier turboprop range in this class, the beautiful, sleek CRJ airliners were of particular interest to airlines wanting to offer jet feeling on short routes.

Their specific design with the engines in the back, low wing and slim fuselage, allowing only 2-2 seat arrangements, made them look sportive and a bit like the business jets.

Their avionics and systems have been leading edge at the time of development and highly automated to reduce the work load of pilots in the tight schedules and shortest turn-around times.

Pilots like to fly them because they are powerful, agile, and a joy to fly manually. They also demand more flying skill than a modern Airbus or Boeing, because the ability to automate the flight is limited. For example, it is not possible to control the airspeed during the flight. In addition, the airports you fly to may require more manual flying due to lack of navigational installation or scenic environments.

The Aerosoft CRJ Bundle 550/700/900/1000 for the current Microsoft Flight Simulator has been built on the experience of the developers from the CRJ family offered for FSX and Prepar3D. Yet the new technology available within MSFS gave all developers involved the opportunity to use the latest in design, system and flight model programming. Therefore, they were reconstructed from ground up to match the new standard in look, function and flying characteristics. This small high-end airliner was created with the gracious support of Microsoft and Asobo, which ensured that the new features of the Microsoft Flight Simulator could be implemented.

Modeling:

Highly detailed modeling based on many photos of the original aircraft
Covered with high resolution PBR textures that convey virtual reality extremely well
The possibilities of the new flight simulator engine are mostly utilized
Fluid animations of moving parts such as landing gear, flaps and doors
The cockpit shows detailed modeling and animations that provide a realistic look and feel of this popular airliner
Support of advanced features, such as rain effects, etc.
The flight model is based on Flight Simulator's new aerodynamic model to provide more realistic behavior of the CRJ in all flight conditions. It has been fine tuned to reflect the performance and reactive behavior of the CRJ
Included are the CRJ 550/700/900/1000 models with 26 liveries

Currently the aircraft are in a much better state. Some complaints I’ve seen in forums like the planes requiring an unusually high amount of throttle just to get moving on the ground are operator error. The throttles simply need to be calibrated via the cockpit EFB and it’s super easy to do. I have no trouble during taxi or other ground movements and require no more throttle input than any other aircraft of similar size. Point being that some things being complained about in forums that may scare away potential new buyers are just not true. That said, these CRJs are not just beautiful but also excellently simulated as is today. There are still a few minor issues regarding Sim Brief integration that need updating but nothing that would actually inhibit flying a complete route. You need only program it in the FMS. As of the time of this review I’ve seen that an update is forthcoming (finally) soon, reported by a beta tester in the forums just a weeks or so ago. That’s very encouraging and also why I chose to buy the bundle. Hopefully that update news actually is delivered soon to fix remaining bugs that discourage many new buyers. I shouldn’t say it’s not worth buying now. I am enjoying the aircraft quite a bit and think they are worth having as is.

I bought this CRJ bundle from the in-game Marketplace. I agree with Sandro's review, these CRJ's look amazing, the aircraft systems are all modeled but like many other MSFS aircraft the flight physics and ground handling are terrible, not very realistic at all, feels very arcade like. The plane won't even stall. I reduced power to idle, watched the speed drop and drop but the CRJ still kept flying somehow. I even pulled all the way back on the yoke and held it there with throttle still at idle and it still would not stall. It's really too bad because it's a beautiful looking airplane, inside and out. I really hope they can improve the flight model though it seems flight physics in MSFS itself are not realistic. This is why I still mostly use X-Plane 11 and 12 as well as P3Dv5. Every time I buy a MSFS aircraft I usually end up feeling like I wasted my money cause the physics are so bad compared to other flight sims. MSFS is not a real flight simulator, it's a simcade and because of that developers making planes for MSFS are limited in how realistic they can make airplanes fly. Study level aircraft for MSFS? What a joke that is.

Modeling and texturing are excellent, and the fantastic EFB makes the aircraft extremely easy to set up. Sounds are good overall, and include PA announcements. The flight model is by far this add-on's greatest weakness, which falls short of other add-ons such as Leonardo's MD-80 and Milviz's C310R. Ground handling lacks any sort of dynamics (e.g. aircraft stops turning instantly when tiller input is stopped), and takeoff behavior seems questionable with the aircraft rotating 5 deg/sec with minimum control input at VR. If Aerosoft can improve the flight model, this can easily become a 5-star aircraft in the future.
