Rupert Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I just downloaded the Freeware Embraer CRJ 145 from Rookoo. So, still being at Aostoria Airport I decided to make trial hop to LAX. Astoria and LAX were both IFR. In fact LAX was down to 2.5 mile visibility. So other than the views from above the clouds, not much ground scenery to see. There are several liveries of this plane and I really haven't explored it much yet. But she flies well and is predictable. Free is always good!!

Rupert Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Nice aircraft Michael! That ought to take you easily to wherever you want to go! Enjoy! Rick :cool: I agree!! At least as long as Jan's credit card buys my fuel!! ;) It's damned expensive these days!! When I was doing ferry hops for the USMC RW in the 1960's we paid about 10 cents a gallon for JP4 at military bases but it was about 50 cents a gallon at private or commercial airports!! :eek::eek: I can't imagine what I'm charging to Jan's account must cost him today! :eek::eek: Having a "Sugar Daddy" is a big deal now!!!

Rupert Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Love those IMC conditions! Great approach and plane :pilot: Hey it's easy today!! All those fancy devices to let the plane land itself!! Back in the sixties I might have cut off a limb or two to get those electronic toys everyone now takes for granted!! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

NMLW Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 A good flight in your new Embraer despite having to deal with the weather. :cool: :cool: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPHILL3 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I also just D/L it - flew a quick trip from SeaTac to Calgary - I seem to have had a lot of problems with the autopilot holding the correct altitude ascending and descending though (perhaps I need to load a default aircraft first)? But still a very cool freebie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Jerry - Try another 145, great aircraft. I have had the same problem this week, not with this aircraft but another! They call that porpoising, that annoying roller coaster ride, up and down! This is what I like about freeware. If an aircraft doesn't perform to your standards, File 13 it, and move on to another! Good luck, that is a great plane that Michael is presenting! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
