Airports & Sceneries
– Added additional model LODs for improved performance
– Added RJ100 QT freighter variant, including 4 new liveries:
– RJ100 QT: DHL (D-ABFA)
– RJ100 QT: FedEx (N633FE)
– RJ100 QT: Prototype (G-RJQT)
– RJ100 QT: TNT (OO-TAL)
– Added custom cabin textures to all RJ70, RJ85 and RJ100 passenger liveries
– Added SimBrief OFP import functionality to GNLU-910A FMS
– Fixed reversed emissive texture on AUTO SPLR switch
– Fixed inverted gear override switch logic
– Fixed hydraulic lines animation issue in landing gear bay
– Fixed “Gear Up. Lights Out” callout triggers
– Improved altimeter drum animations
– Improved autopilot pitch oscillations
– Improved cabin crew callouts triggers during taxi – “Cabin Is Secured” callout will now automatically trigger 5-8 minutes after the doors are closed, simulating the time it takes for a safety briefing and seat belt check. “Cabin Crew Seats For Takeoff” logic remains the same, either triggered via the “CABIN CALL” button on the overhead panel when the aircraft is in a takeoff state, or automatically during the takeoff run.
– Improved Fvgl speed tape logic
– GSX can now supply ground power and external air via jetway connection
– Updated paintkit (added QT freighter variant)
RJ Professional brings you all three variants of the RJ family: the RJ70, RJ85 and RJ100. Each variant is fully custom-coded and created using comprehensive, hands-on research with a real world aircraft, RJ-100 SE-RJI. Over 25 high quality liveries represent the vast number of RJ operators from all around the world.
The RJ was developed in the 1980s and 1990s and first took to the air in 1992. The main goal of the RJ was to succeed the 146 regional jets, many of which were still flying in their original analogue cockpit configurations and without sophisticated autopilot or navigation systems. This, along with newer and more modern regional jets from other manufacturers, meant that it was beginning to prove difficult for airlines to operate the 146 in the modern-day aviation environment and a new aircraft was required.
The results of those efforts was the RJ, a glass cockpit airliner equipped with an EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System), PED (Primary Engine Display), FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and FMS (Flight Management System) – a generational leap in capability from the 146.
Other avionics improvements include a fully automatic pressurisation system, digitally displayed COM/NAV/ADF radio, an autothrottle, a TRP (Thrust Rating Panel) allowing you to set V-speeds on the EFIS displays as well as select different engine power modes and a much more advanced autopilot, with LNAV and CAT3 autoland capabilities. The aircraft was also fitted with an FMS as standard, which in our simulation comes in the form of a fully custom-coded GNLU-910A.
Amongst all of these more advanced features, the RJ and the 146 both share the same type rating; there are, therefore, a lot of similarities in the operating philosophies between the two aircraft. A true mix of retro and modern and a really quirky aircraft to study and to fly!
