  1. I think it's important to know what works, not just problems that occur.  I use an i7 950 at 3.7GHz and a Radeon 5850 with 64-bit Windows 7.

    I've logged over 10 hours in version 1.1 with "number of aircraft" set to 20 and "flight models per frame" set to 1.  Also several plugins were loaded (see attachments).  After many flights, the longest being 1.5 hours, I haven't had a single CTD or a single instance where X-Plane failed to load the CRJ at startup.  For most flights XSquawkBox was enabled so the 19 AI aircraft were not running.  I made one flight with XSquawkBox disabled and XTraffic running 19 aircraft at KSEA.  Again, no problems.

    Now here's what's interesting.  If the CRJ is loaded when X-Plane starts (cold and dark condition) and you open the aircraft again, X-Plane will freeze after connecting the GPU and pressing the AC button.  This did not occur with version 1.0.  The only way to recover is ctrl-alt-delete.  No crash log is produced.

    As long as I don't open the CRJ back-to-back, I can start the aircraft and be on my way.  Hope you find this feedback useful.

    Regards,

  2. Try this checklist.  You'll need the Checklister Plugin. 

    Each startup check-box on page 5 should have an asterisk beside it, if not just open the CRJ again.  Follow each step in sequence beginning with power-up.  This is intended to be a condensed version of the tutorial text and video; which were both extremely helpful to me.  Maybe these procedures will help as well.

  3. Here's a checklist for the CRJ-200. It requires Snailpup's Checklister plugin.

    Most flight phases are covered and you should start the aircraft from a cold and dark condition, following each step in the order presented. Unfortunately copilot support is limited with a complex avionics system.

    Feel free to use this clist file as a template to customize the checklist as desired.

    EDIT:  The checklist has been updated with datarefs from the file pinned to the top of this forum.  This means 77% of the check-box items have copilot support.  If you downloaded the previous version, this checklist should make your flying even easier.

    Sometimes when I first open the CRJ not all copilot boxes would register (an asterisk next to them).  If this happens to you simply open the aircraft again.  A normal checklist will show an asterisk next to each box on page 5.
