thiengo Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 The CRJ does not have autothrottle, therefore TOGA is not there. Our X-Plane model is accurate here. VNAV also is not a feature of the CRJ, thus it is not in our simulation.Cameron,I was wrong to write VNAV without giving details of what I meant.In the manual of FMS Collins 4200, on page 67, ACT PERF INIT PAGE 1. as in many aircraft, reported the cruise FL, determining how they will behave the date the page lines of progress or legs. to trigger the menu VNAV in MCDU, see the "PERF MENU" page, which represent the corresponding stage of flight, climb, descent or Cruizer. so I'm not saying he would maintain a speed, or make changes to a vertical navigation seguindoi levels set, but would report to the pilot selected altitude phases of flight speeds and targets, would be a guide to navigation, including determining the altitudes to pass in positions where a rise or fall.I'm no pilot CRJ200, so even the greatest desire to know how it works.What is telling is that the CRJ200 operates with differences in the software of FMS?TOGA question...Page 109 from FCOM of crj200, automatic flight control system, flight control and guindance..."Lateral Take-Off ModeLateral take-off mode generates a wings level command while on the ground.After take-off, it generates a heading hold command, with a 5-degree bank limit,using the heading which existed at take-off. Selecting a lateral take-off modeturns on both flight directors, disengages the autopilot and clears all other lateralmodes.Lateral take-off mode is selected by pushing one of the thrust lever-mountedTOGA switches while on the ground. Lateral take-off mode is cleared by theselection of FD SYNC or another lateral mode.Lateral take-off mode is annunciated with a green TO message in the lateralcapture field on the primary flight display."How do not your CRJ200 have this?page 112"Lateral Go-Around ModeLateral go-around mode generates a heading hold command, with a 5 degreebank limit. Selection of lateral go-aroundmode turns on both flight directors,disengages the autopilot, and clears all other lateral modes. Lateral and verticalgo-around mode selections are coincident. When lateral go-around causes anautopilot disengage, the resultant autopilot disengage warning may be cancelledby another push of a TOGA switch, or by pushing the AP disconnect switch.Lateral go-around mode is selected by pushing one of the thrust lever-mountedTOGA switches while airborne. Lateral go-around mode is cleared by selection ofFD SYNC or another lateral mode.Lateral go-around is annunciated with a green GA message in the lateral capturefield on the primary flight display."page 113"Vertical Take-Off ModeVertical take-off mode generates a 15 degree pitch-up command. Loss of anengine changes the pitch-up command to 10 degrees.Selecting vertical mode turns on both flight directors, disengages the autopilot,clears all other vertical modes and switches the flight guidance commands to adual independent configuration. Lateral and vertical take-off mode selections arecoincident.When take-off causes an autopilot disengagement, the resultant warning may becancelled by another push of a TOGA switch, or by pushing the AP disconnectswitch.Vertical take-off mode is selected by pushing one of the thrust lever-mountedTOGA switches while on the ground. Vertical take-off mode is cleared byengaging the autopilot, by selecting , or by the selection or capture of anotheractive mode.Vertical take-off mode is annunciated with a green TO message in the verticalcapture field on the primary flight display."page 118"Vertical Go-Around ModeGo-around mode generates a 10-degree pitch-up command.Selection of vertical go-aroundmode turns on both flight directors, disengagesautopilot, clears all other vertical modes and switches the flight guidancecommands to a dual-independent configuration. Vertical and lateral modes arecoincident.When a go-around causes the autopilot to disengage, the autopilot warning canbe cancelled by another push to the TOGA switch, or by pushing the APdisconnect switch.Vertical go-around mode is selected by pushing either one of the thrustlever-mounted TOGA switches while airborne. Go-around mode is cleared byengaging the autopilot, by selecting FD SYNC or by the selection or capture ofanother active mode.Go-around mode is annunciated with a green GA message in the vertical capturefield on the primary flight display."page 123"The autopilot can be disengaged manually by any of the following:..."... Pressing either TOGA switch on the thrust levers"autothrottle is not directly connected to the toga, toga is important to tell the director what to expect from flight operation at the moment, take off or go-around phases are hoping to control the lateral flight director certain attitudes.some examples of what he was talking about.while I wrote my response Rollon wrote about it with great consideration, however, I encourage you not to quit, you're a great professional and his team is very good, let's make this a great addon and I was wondering .... more to help and do for free, just for the satisfaction of seeing this addon best of the x-plane and as I always say, not only a plane to play, but a plane to study.

signmanbob Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Javier, this CRJ is simply outstanding and is the primary reason that I'm flying in X-Plane so much lately.I don't know what others think, but I feel that you should not put the work into improving this aircraft and not receive added compensation.Many developers make entrance level versions and improve on them, packaging the improvements as "professional" or "advanced" versions. Eaglesoft and Majestic are two examples.As you add more realism to this CRJ200, I would be willing to pay for the upgrade packages. I'm sure others would also.Everyone knows that you put a lot of work into this, and you need insentive to continue putting more time, money and effort into making it more advanced.Although you wouldn't want to charge for patches that repair what you have, don't be afraid to charge for upgrades that make it better and more complex or upgrade the software to a new version.Bob Quote
X-elbert Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Amen to Signman. Anything that U add, I will gladly pay for. When all this present Dust settles, you guys can continue havin Fun on improvements! Quote
whitman Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I think we should all listen to X-elbert...and I quote "I have over 5,000 actual hours in this aircraft and this is just like the real thing" Who are you going to listen to...for what we are getting for $60.00. You have got to freakin' be kidding me.Javier...ONLY listen to the people that matter...if they have a legitimate claim...fine...see what you can do for them. The rest of the whiners need to waste someone else's time.Whit Quote
t20y Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Love the plane!Thank You I am in X-plane heaven now. 5 stars. Quote
