The Aerosoft CRJ for FSX remains a masterclass in add-on development for legacy simulators. It successfully bridges the gap between casual flight gaming and professional-grade desktop simulation. By omitting the safety nets of autothrottles and fully automated vertical paths, it forces you to become a better, more attentive virtual pilot.
, the remains a cornerstone add-on. Developed by Digital Aviation and published by Aerosoft , this package brings the "sporty" handling and complex systems of the Bombardier CRJ series to your desktop. Key Features of the CRJ 700/900 X
Without an autothrottle, managing your energy profile is paramount. Approaches require careful throttle modulation, especially when configuring flaps and landing gear. The ground handling accurately reflects the stiff, low-slung nature of the CRJ airframe. On takeoff, the rotational characteristics require a firm but smooth pull, mimicking the real aircraft's tendency to pitch up sharply once the nose wheel leaves the tarmac.

Advisory VNAV (Vertical Navigation), which calculates top-of-descent points and profiles, requiring the pilot to manually adjust thrust to meet altitude constraints.
