Noch ein Canadair Regional Jet für X-Plane

AD Simulation und DeltaWing Simulations haben eine CRJ-700 für X-Plane veröffentlicht. Bei der Entwicklung haben laut Hersteller 5 reale CRJ Piloten geholfen. Der Funktionsumfang ließt sich recht ordentlich. Der Flieger ist für knapp 50 USD zu haben und ist damit preislich mit den Marktbegleitern auf einer Höhe.

Systems

Systems are modeled based on real life CRJ-700 aircraft. 5 CRJ real life pilots and few simulator enthusiasts were helping us to develop and make them work just like in real life.
Flight Control Panel knobs support fast scrolling via left mouse button press and hold and precise scrolling via mouse wheel scroll
Mode Control Panel SPEED and other modes simulate the real Autopilot modes on the CRJs. The screens are as close to the real ones as possible.

Center Glareshield

All Center Glareshield Knobs and Pushbuttons animated and functional

DISPLAYS

Displays are exceptionally crisp and with letters and symbols easily visible
PFD Primary Flight Display is modeled exactly as real life counterpart
MFD Multifunction Display can display following modes
- HSI The horizontal situation indicator shows the compass card with overlaid selectable navaids, bearing and course pointers
- NAV SECTOR Navigation display with compass card and a background map. The navigation display shows course pointer and deviation bar. VOR bearing and DME distance information is shown
- FMS MAP Flight Management System Map shows the track and waypoints programmed in the CDU (Control Display Unit). FMS MAP shows the aircraft heading.
- TCAS Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System investigates the air traffic control transponders of nearby airplanes and identifies and displays potential and predicted collision threats.
- FMS PLAN MAP shows programmed waypoints of the route. Shows north at the top of the display. Waypoints can be selected by using UP and DOWN arrows on CDU (Control Display Unit)
- RADAR– to be implemented in future versions

EICAS (ENGINE INDICATION AND CREW ALERTING SYSTEM Displays. Following displays can be shown using ECP (EICAS CONTROL PANEL)

- PRI
- STAT
- ECS
- HYD
- ELEC (AC and DC)
- FUEL
- F/CTL
- A/ICE
- DOORS
- CAS

PopUp Displays, movable, scalable able to be dragged to multiple monitors

Cockpit Lighting

There is FULL lighting implemented, FLOOD, INTEGRATED and DISPLAYS with animated knobs and switches. You can adjust the intensity of displays, panels and light in any combination you like. In addition CABIN LIGHTS and STAIR LIGHTS are also adjustable via corresponding switches in the back of the cockpit

External Lighting

FULL external lighting is available via animated corresponding switches

Tablet/EFB

There is a Tablet and popup Menu WIP

Sounds FMOD

Custom sounds are implemented using FMOD.

Engine sounds
Cockpit sounds: Avionics, Gyro, Relays, Fans (Packs), Controls (Buttons/switches, levers)
Warning sounds: Take-off
GPWS (Too Low Terrain, Too Low Gear, Too Low Flaps, Terrain Caution, Bank angle, Sink rate, Don’t-sink, Pull Up)
Autopilot, Fire, Alerts
Cabin sounds: Galley, Cooling
Exterior sounds: Gear Roll/Touch, APU, GPU, Flaps, Hydraulic and Fuel Pumps, Wind drag, Packs
Weather sounds: Wind, Rain, Thunder, Wind Gust (on the ground only)
Cabin and Cockpit muffing effect caused by Cockpit Door closed/open

Flight Model

Flight model has been carefully adjusted to match the real life CRJ-700. Real life CRJ-200/700/900 pilots were involved in the process.

Realistic wing flex

Wing Flex has been modelled and adjusted for realistic aircraft behavior

FMS

FMS and it’s Pop Up is customized as far as look but based on the Default X-Plane one.
Note: Default XP FMC is based on the Collins FMS-4200 and CRJ is using that one, no Honeywell and Thales types.

3D Modeling and Textures

Almost all maps are 4K High Resolution
Exterior is modeled with all details existing in real aircraft.
Pilots are visible in external views and turn thir heads slightly to ward camera view
Interior modeling has been made paying attention to details in the real life CRJ-700 cockpit.
Cabin and Stairs have adjustable lighting
