The CRJ NextGen is not an update for the previously released Regional Jet Vol.1 – CRJ (and New Generation) but a completely new development for FSX.
The CRJ NextGen doesn't feature a PILOT IN COMMAND developement level. Complexity of some procedures and/or equipment functionnalities may have been reduced to suit beginners and medium skilled simmers.
very nice model and nice vc
the buttons and switches in the VC are not working well
Fmc is only basic but works ok
Sids are more or less ok but the Stars are mostly not
I didn't like the plane in the beginning but I use now mostly the 2D panel which you can configurate as you like it. And in the 2d panel all the switches work without problems
So now that I have learned how to use it I really like it quite much.
I bought this addon because it was a part of a Wilco Bundle of addons, that seemed like a deal that was too good to be true. As it turns out, it was too good to be true. This plane fell short of my expectations – actually, that’s putting it mildly. This is the worst addon I’ve ever flown.
I won’t go into the gory details – It simply appears that they sent to production what was essentially a work in progress. I’ve tried to complete flight assignments using the included FMS, but the interface was so kludgey, I couldn’t even enter a flight plan. That said, the addon did install, and you can start the engines and fly it. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it one star.
One a final note; there is tremendous pent up demand for Aerosoft/Digital Aviation’s implementation of the CRJ series of Regional Jets, that is rumored to be released in a next few weeks. That there is such a demand for CRJs that this Wilco’s add on hasn’t benefited from is indicative of this package’s poor quality. 2 stars.
I gave some "not so bad" impressions about this product thinking that they would give some patches to improve the aircraft, all those years and there's NOTHING.
Don't waste your time and money.
I totally regret it
Its a good aircraft for beginers who want to understand more complex avionics. At first I got frustrated on seeing as if the autopilot is not functional but it is 100% functional. I discovered that a Year later after purchasing this addon. for instance the speed hold has to be turned on or off by placing the cusor at the "edge" of the rotating selector. It also discovered that for it to navigate with the flight plan keyed in the FMS, before executing your flight plan your flight director has to be switched on, select your navigation source then click the NAV switch. FMS should appear above the vertical speed in the PFD.
Afteral wilco should have included that in their manuals, they are too shallow. otherwise the aircraft isn't bad
I fully agree with the other guys, lovely plane to hand fly, really fantastic. But the else is just depressing. WILCO should have held this back for a year and worked double time on it, cause it seriously needs some work done.
I strongly argee whit George Lauffer and Ryan Whitford
This product is one of the give my money back products.
I'm lot happier whit the old CRJ 200 and 700 series
Very nice exterior model and surely nice to fly by hand BUT:
The autopilot for instance is simply not for any use. The buttons there work or don't work just as they like to.
Product deserves 0/5.
I purchased this product a few days after it was released. I must say that I cannot believe that Wilco let this fly out of their hangar. The aircraft's FDE is that of the original(2006), same with the sounds. Real world CRJ pilots said for themselves that this is nowhere close to a real CRJ. I was utterly disappointed with my purchase but still pushed forward to try to get some things fixed. I emailed them every time a service update came out and my issues were still not addressed. It's a true shame, I should have never purchased this addon knowing that this is the same designers of the Wilco 737 EVO. I wish FeelThere would have jumped onboard with this. True shame.
Aircraft model is decent, however there are no liveries, and the paintkit is the most difficult that I have ever seen.
