Release Candidate 1

Hello, all,

With the above images now released, let this be the formal announcement that the CRJ has been in development all this time since the day we announced postponement.

We hope that you'll find this a pleasant surprise. RC-1 signifies a practically complete product in total testing phase. 

Get ready! It's coming soon!

With all the above said, I have unlocked this forum and you may reply away!

Sounds great, now I won't get depressed when I see anything that has to do with a CRJ.... 

Thanks Cameron, that was a great way to suppress all of the questions about it. This has been the number one plane I have wanted for the past year and a half. I can't believe it's this close to release already.

Oh my goodness I want... so badly!!!

CRJ + SAAB 340 combo package!!

I assume someone, or some group, stepping in when the original developer left?

Good news. Looking forward to this one.

That won't be happening any time soon if it does.

Things continued on all along from where they left off pretty much the same day we made announcements. Keeping this forum locked and silent was intentional on many levels.

We'll have more info in time on those of us who were involved in bringing this thing to fruition. All in due time!

Thanks for checking it out!

Well, one can dream.  Either way, I'll be buying BOTH

agreed, can't wait to get my hands on the controls of this beauty! ;D good to hear the project is now entirely in the testing phase. Good Job Javier you have created a 1 of a kind aircraft for XP. Kudos to you sir!

talk about a nice surprise those pictures look 4times better than any aircraft i currently fly. Cant wait to see the final product ;D

Wow! Great news. I can't thank you enough for keeping the project alive. Count me in already

Well come on guys n gals (I can say that confidently now Nic!), I've just posted the lovely news over at the org, come join me!

Dang!  My heart just dropped into the pit where my cash used to be.  :'(

Sweet! But damn too, sold my CRJ in FSEconomy when the project died. :/

That is a great news.

In my opinion, the choice to announce a product only when it is ready is always the best one.

Yes. As you all may know, once Anton stopped working on the project, 1 week later or so after announcing the cancelling Philipp Münzel wrote me and he decided to join the project. It has been since January a continous work from him and must say that has been an impressive workflow. He pushed the project from a clear death end to what it is right now. So I was very lucky finding Philipps.

I must say that with Anton first and Philipps later they both are making the project a reality.

About release date.. still documentation is needed to completed. I want to make two tutorials and a video (don't worry the video is fast).. and this is a release candidate 1. That means if those things are done.. the plane could be released today (if we wouldn't find any bug... but still has to be done those things.. and the installer.. Because believe me when I say this baby is a heavy one. Also the package from Navigraph (the free one) that we must receive from them...

So.. don't eat your fingertips!! still some time to do... from here to a month maybe?

Absolutely fantastic news.  Thanks Philip for stepping up to the plate!  Just a quick question: Will there be an option to turn off the persons in the cockpit?  Understandable if not, just a personal preference so I thought I'd ask.

Wow, this is brilliant news, Cameron, Javier and all.

With the B17G, Dash 8 and Saab A340 coming, and now the CRJ, at last 2011's turning out to be an exciting time for really high quality 3D-cockpit aircraft.

As showcased in one of the videos, you can make the co-pilot appear or disappear at your leisure.

IIRC The aircraft is Navigraph updateable yes?

If so is there an existing format to use or will there be a new spedific installer/format released by navigraph?

Correct.

We'll update everyone on this process in short order. Promise.

Just posted the happy news on my VA boards - If you get it out in the next couple of weeks we'll be able to use it in an event towards the end of the month.

I'll assume it's coming later though and hope for a happy surprise.

Please supply a paintkit
