The CRJ-200 is a regional jet seating 50 passengers, currently manufactured by Bombardier. Over 1000 have been built.

Development

FDM:

  • Moved engines to correct locations
  • Changed fuselage shape to better match real size
  • Changed approach and cruise parameters
  • Added the adjustable weight controllers
  • Stalls are pretty realistic.
  • Eliminated elevator spazz unless flaps are deployed with too high speed
  • Cruise, service ceiling seems to work well.
  • New wing design using two different sections, speedbrake code now uses each separately.
  • Elevators have more realistic authority.
  • A bit more drag on approach needed.

Model/Effects:

  • Gear smoke added
  • Contrails added, toggle for them as well
  • Animated jetway #1 implemented.
  • Wheels subsurfed (to smooth them out) and animated to spin
  • Interior model separated from main model
  • New liveries. All except for US Airways Express by JcHnd, US Airways Express by Nick based on US Airways Express for CRJ-900.
  • Glass shader for windshield and light covers.

Systems:

  • Glideslope autopilot much less spazzy.
  • Autobrakes added, Tab to cycle setting, Shift-tab to reset to 0. 6 total settings, 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 and RTO. 0.6 doesn't disengage properly due to value setting problem.

To-do

  • Get ready for main page release.
  • Finish cockpit
  • More liveries (see wishlist in Liveries folder, Air Nostrum already in progress)
  • The far future: CRJ-700.
