It is.
It's worse.
It's a nightmare.
The autopilot is a disaster. It does nothing you tell it and it behaves erratically. Even the basic modes such as VS or heading select - forget it.
The Virtual Cockpit is out of sync with the 2D (limited) panels. The lights don't sync, the autopilot - it doesn't listen to your mouse clicks unless you flip over to the 2D - then they are out of sync.
It's absurd the developer released this product and actually takes money from people.
As much as you want a commercial CRJ and think you can live with some flaws, don't do it. I had low expectations and was still surprised how bad it actually is. They should be ashamed.
