The sleek and nimble CRJ 550/700 has arrived in Microsoft Flight Simulator, courtesy of third party developer Aerosoft. The package includes fastidiously detailed models, animations, and liveries for the jets, as well as a flight model that has been rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of the new features in Microsoft's latest version of the simulation game.
Aerosoft says the Bombardier CRJ line is an attractive one for both real-world and sim-based pilots alike - it's a jet that demands quite a bit more skill to fly than its larger jumbo cousins, due to the fact that fewer flight systems can be automated on the smaller planes. The CRJ carries up to 100 passengers, but its slim fuselage and low-slung wings make it agile and responsive.
Depending on the airport you've chosen as your destination, you're likely to have to do more manual flying on your approach in the CRJ - Aerosoft says many airports lack the navigation systems necessary to automate landings for the small jets.
