About The CRJ 550/700
Piloting commuter aircraft is most attractive for flight simulatorfans that like flying according Instrument flight rules (IFR), buthave limited time available to spend. Commuter aircraft servicingconnections from smaller airports to the big hubs and vice versa andare intensive flying in the real world as well as in thesimulator.
A famous representative of this aircraft category is the Bombardier(nowadays Mitsubishi) CRJ line of 50 to 100 passengers. Originallydeveloped to replace the more uncomfortable and noisier turboproprange in this class, the beautiful, sleek CRJ airliners were ofparticular interest to airlines wanting to offer jet feeling on shortroutes.
Their specific design with the engines in the back, low wing andslim fuselage, allowing only 2-2 seat arrangements, made them looksportive and a bit like the business jets.
Their avionics and systems have been leading edge at the time ofdevelopment and highly automated to reduce the work load of pilots inthe tight schedules and shortest turn-around times.
Pilots like to fly them because they are powerful, agile, and a joyto fly manually. They also demand more flying skill than a modernAirbus or Boeing, because the ability to automate the flight islimited. For example, it is not possible to control the airspeedduring the flight. In addition, the airports you fly to may requiremore manual flying due to lack of navigational installation or scenicenvironments.
The Aerosoft CRJ 550/700 for the current Microsoft Flight Simulatorhas been built on the experience of the developers from the CRJ familyoffered for FSX and Prepar3D. Yet the new technology available withinMSFS gave all developers involved the opportunity to use the latest indesign, system and flight model programming. Therefore, they werereconstructed from ground up to match the new standard in look,function and flying characteristics. This small high-end airliner wascreated with the gracious support of Microsoft and Asobo, whichensured that the new features of the Microsoft Flight Simulator couldbe implemented.
