Aerosoft Aircraft CRJ 550/700

Piloting commuter aircraft is most attractive for flight simulator fans that like IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) flying, but have limited time available to spend.

A famous representative of this aircraft category is the Bombardier (nowadays Mitsubishi) CRJ line of 50 to 100 passengers. Originally developed to replace the more uncomfortable and noisier turboprop range in this class, the beautiful, sleek CRJ airliners were of particular interest to airlines wanting to offer the jet experience on short routes.

Their specific design, with the engines in the back, low wing and slim fuselage allowing only 2-2 seat arrangements made them look sporty and a little like a business jet.

Their avionics and systems have been leading edge at the time of development and highly automated to reduce the workload of pilots for the tight schedules and shortest turn-around times.

Pilots like to fly them because they are powerful, agile and a joy to fly manually. They also demand more flying skill than a modern Airbus or Boeing because the ability to automate the flight is limited. For example, it is not possible to control the airspeed during the flight. In addition, the airports you fly to may require more manual flying due to lack of navigational installation or scenic environments.

The Aerosoft CRJ 550/700 for the current Microsoft Flight Simulator has been built on the experience of the developers of the CRJ family for FSX and Prepar3D, but the new technology available within MSFS gave all the developers involved the opportunity to use the latest in design, system and flight model programming. They were therefore reconstructed from the ground up to match the new standard in looks, function and flying characteristics. This small high-end airliner was created with the gracious support of Microsoft and Asobo, which ensured that the new features of Microsoft Flight Simulator could be implemented.
