Short haul – high density! With its high T-tail, stubby undercarriage, drooping anhedral wing, four engines and highly distinctive butterfly-style air brakes, you can't mistake the 146-200/300!
The 146 design was originally started by Hawker-Siddeley in the UK in 1973 and production started in 1983. Now Just Flight brings you the superb 146-200 and 146-300 for FSX featuring a highly detailed external model, 21 authentic airline liveries from around the globe, an extremely accurate virtual cockpit (VC) and even a cabin view.
A custom sound set uses sounds recorded from the real aircraft to reproduce perfectly the distinctive sounds of those four quiet engines that allow the real aircraft into noise-sensitive airports around the world.
With a great flight model and the powerful and unique speed brakes it’s time to practise your short runway landings!

Nothing more to say. After some troubles when beginning to learn how to fly this plane I like it now very much. A lot of fun. 7€ for this beauty (especially outside view and the cabin view) is breathtakeing. I suggest to buy expansion pack also.
Get it!!!
I just want to say that I really need to CLS production:
British Aerospace BAe 146-100
British Aerospace Avro RJ70
British Aerospace Avro RJ85
British Aerospace Avro RJ100
These expansion packs can be made! I strongly support you.
And :
146-300QT QUIET TRADER JETLINER expansion pack
146-200/300 JETLINER LIVERY & FMC EXPANSION PACK
i would buy!
Thanks Just Flight and CLS!
I'm sorry for my poor English!
1. On occasion, despite everything being set correctly, including trim and flaps the aircraft goes into a series of uncontrollable loops immediately after take off and end up ploughing into the ground. On other occasions (again with everything set correctly) the aircraft just fails to become unstuck from the ground even though the speed has gone well above rotate speed of about 140 kts.
2. At the end of a flight I go through the full shut down list including shutting the fuel cocks to shut down the engines. All switches are also turned off and the flight is saved through FSX. On returning at a later time and going through the flight checks the engines should be shut down, but they are already turning and burning.
I have been in touch with Just Flight about this and have been advised that a fix will be forthcoming.
Only thing I don't like by default are flight dynamics. Plane seems to bank a bit too slowly even with full left / right yoke, and also rudder inputs seem to have no effect at all. However all this was easily fixed, all I had to do was going to aircraft.cfg and changing
aileron_effectiveness from 2.0 to 4.0 and rudder_effectiveness from 1.0 to 3.0.
After that plane flew really like I expected it to do and I think with this tweak it is really awesome addon.
There are only 2 minor things that I "didn't like" in this packages, but they're both easily fixed:
1.) The documentation doesn't include an explanation of how these systems work, hence clicking all the buttons and configuring the systems as per the checklist doesn't have a real purpose behind it. Easy fix: Download the freeware BAE Panel Project FSX package (http://www.baepanelproject.com/files/ml146v41.zip). It has a very detailed system explanation in a pdf format.
2.) As most of us, I fly using the Virtual Cockpit only. Some of the functions (like doors, stairs, GPU) are only accessible via the 2D panel, and due to the number of the sub-panels you won't be able to bring them up using quick shortcuts. Easy fix (for this you need some experience with panel.cfg): Choose the panels you'll need on a regular basis, and find them in panel.cfg. Re-number them and remove the others. As a result you'll have those important panels available at your fingertip. My setup is : 1-Overhead 2-GPS 3-GPU 4-Pedestal
