Wilco CRJ NextGen CRJ-1000

[IronHand]

I was wondering if anybody has seen any feedback on the CRJ Next Gen by Wilco? Was over looking at the airplanes, the 700 900 and 1000 models. Been wanting a 1000

You get all of them together.  I don't know, but wilco is a bit "iffy" they could be bad or good.

True Wilco is hit and miss. I have their Sea Harrier and it is fantastic. From what ive seen the crj looks like a nice package... like you id like more feedback on it first.

Well if nothing else i will bite the bullet and post my thoughts. momma (the wife) said i can get it so i guess i might as well. Just from the pictures i have been able to look at and compairing it with the real thing they have it spot on. I never use 3d cockpits so for me on interier i am not that picky. Any flight issues i bet i can tweek it right up.

If you don't use the 3D cockpit why get it then   :-?

Here is a Video of the interior and some comentary (not mine) several reviews in so far. Pretty much what i found out. flight dymanics need some tweeking but they do a fair job. I think the overpowering elevator is just a bit much. So first tweek for me was pitch, Roll and yaw stability increase in [flight tuning] in the aircraft.cfg

There are several videos and comments on YouTube already giving some good info and some not so
great but it is nice they made a effort to hit some highlights so we know what we are getting.
Back to the flightline.. wheels up 07:00

One thing i dont understand is... when people say the the flight dynamics dont feel right, how do they come to this conclusion when the developer (wilco) used several real world, and active duty crj pilots to test the flight dynamics? If they said it flies like the real thing... then thats just how it is. Thats like saying a Porsche 911 does not handle well... when you've never actually driven one.

I couldnt have said it better myself

I was just talking to my friend on Skype who the CRJ Next gen, and he said;
The flight dynamics are not the best, a good detailed VC, but half of the buttons aren't clickiable, like the Fuel Pumps and hydraulics.  The FMS is okay, but not the best.
So It seems like a good plane, but it's a little better than the old one.

Well after more hunting and poking about in the closets of the builders i found some more good, well actually great news. Project Airbus is bringing out a CRJ-1000. I know they have great product most the time and they for sure do it up right. so lets keep our ears open. good things are coming.
