The Ultimate 146 Collection includes the BAe146 and Avro RJ series, a four engined regional aircraft series by British Aerospace.
All produced passenger variants have been included, such as the old BAe146-100, -200 and the newer BAe146-300, but also the heavily upgraded Avro RJ series.
For your pleasure, every model comes with its own 2D Panel and Virtual Cockpit to fully capture the spirit and identity of these jets.

I have the QW 757 collection as well, which made me comfortable buying this pack. It doesn’t disappoint for the most part. I’ll start with my only real complaint. There are no working air stairs on any variant. The QW control panel shows “Airstairs” button with “inop” printed in it. So no amount of clicking on the air stair button with ever produce them. Very dissatisfied with this issue where had it not been so, I’d have giving 5 stars! Or also despite what’s seen in some photos there are also no grasping service vehicles except for the pushback truck. Seems to be some misleading information within this products descriptions.
So I’ll forgive these issues as everything else is very nice! Excellent cockpits with very few unclickables. Very nice night lighting. Lots and lots of downloadable liveries. The audio is very good as well. Call outs and various safety or other announcements from cockpit or cabin are clear and add a nice touch to realism.
Max cruise is about Mach .70 with a Max airspeed at altitude of Mach .73
These are fun planes to fly just avoid low altitude cruise as the engines will really burn fuel faster than other similar in class aircraft. They climb pretty quickly so getting up to cruise altitude doesn’t take too long. Love the steep approach ability. EGLC is finally somewhere worth flying to for me now. This plane was built for steep approaches perfectly.
Review based on use with FSX SE Win10 3.2 ghz Intel i7 and Intel UHD 630 GPU 16gb ram shared. Excellent frame rates even within high quality add on scenery with medium high to high settings.
bonjour
je viens d'acheter cet add-on et je suis satisfait. La documentation bien qu'en anglais est très complète c'est un peu arde à comprendre surtout quand on passe par un traducteur mais c'est très intéressant.
je possédait déjà le 757 en version Ultimate de qualitywings et c'est la qualité de cette version qui m'a insisté à acheter le 146 .
j'espère acheter la 787 toujours cher qualitywings prochainement.mais il est plus cher ce sera pour plus tard
je donne la note maxi 5 étoiles
cordialement
Prepar3d users - be advised this aircraft is not updated for P3D v3 or v4. It will not work even if you do a frankenstein install. Great airplane, but QW hasn't circled back to make this compatible. F1 and Simmarket should highlight this since "P3D" is in the title.
Dieses Modell habe ich bei seinem Erscheinen bei flight1 gekauft... und ich benutze sie heute noch. Sie gehört zu den Maschinen, die auf der Festplatte blieben, während Andere längst im Nirwana gelandet sind.
Im Flug und von den Systemen ist sie im Bereich "Medium Level" ein zu ordnen, deutlich unter PMDG etwa auf einem Level mit Captain Sim oder Aerosoft. Sie ist ausgereift, hat unterschiedliche Instrumente und man kann mit den Maschinen in diesem Paket sehr schön 20 Jahre Entwicklung des letzten rein britischen Verkehrs-Flugzeuges von den ersten BAe 146-100 bis zu den letzten Avro RJ 100 nachvollziehen.
Ich nutze sie gern als ein nicht anspruchsloses aber auch nicht überkompliziertes Flugzeug für Kurzstrecken-Flüge in Europa.
