Well we have the 2 FCOM manuals of this plane. More than 2000 pages of real information. With that, we are building this plane.. and with that we will fill tables, info, etc.. of documentation of the final plane.

well is difficult to answer those two question. The release date... I wanted to release it before August but I had lot of problems. After I found (or better to say Anton found me) everything was more clear. Everything is going really well.. but we can find any unexpected bug or whatever that can make it longer. But if everything goes as it is going now, I would like to release it before christmass time. On December. Lets see... About the price... As you maybe know I have 2 planes and 1 free. Both of them are really not expensive. Even the Seamax I lowered the price. But I was the only person. Now we are 2, and taxes here in Spain are starting to became bigger. Soooo.. of course won't be the same price as the Javelin or the Seamax. Will be more expensive. Around 40$ I think. All depends on money value change. Now Euros are stronger than Dollars. And I live on Euro country. Putting on dollars then makes it cheaper for european people but expensive for US citizens. Don't know exactly.... but always I will try to find the perfect price. I do believe this is becoming the best plane ever on X-Plane. That cost a little.

Don't worry about the colours they are ok... really but I don't know why they appeared that way (ganma correction?). Anyway.. in programming is really easy to change colours on future.

Well project is going really well so is time to finish little things. This time screenshots of the night lighting of the Cockpit. You can see some of the avionics already done!

Yes, of course.. as I said before.. 3D and 2D template to paint it.

added, of course!! Cannot believe it... where are french and Italian??

Sure!! When you 'real' pilot a big plane, you never see it externally. Maybe the wing tips. You move on the 3D cockpit and I started on X-Plane because I wanted to see better 3D cockpits. The same you see on the CRJ-200. Almost the same quality you will see on Airbus 320

Yes yes.. I always do!.. and if people want I will include a download for painting in 3D on photoshop CS4 That is the best for stripes and see it in real time while painting. On The Javelin is already that system (2D and 3D templates)

The Modelling of the external plane is finished. Now it will come texturing coordinates and soon colour to it. That will be the Airbus Home livery. Later we will see others.

Added! of course.

2 votes each people. Thanks

Hi! Well my intention is to release the most important liveries on the CRJ. I think I could start a poll to paint 5 liveries, and the most voted would be included (the Spanish one is included from the begining and would be 5 more). About the Normal maps.. Yes. I think I can include them without problem. For me is more important an Specular Mapping that still is not included on X-plane, but make the Normal map is easy.

Yes.. sure!! Right now I am modelling the rear landing gears. All other things are modelled. So that is the only part I need to finish it. Engines all full completed, doors, etc... But this is a 2 people project (most of it of Anton) so, I still don't think is good to put another render.. maybe when finished modelling. Because after that will come 1 or 2 weeks of texture mapping (very funny work > ) haha.. and then we can start seeing the advance in texturing and real colours. That part will be fun to see.

No.. no.. the problem of the Autopilot not was because the inverter (that is ok). It is because I have the XFCS on x-plane and I think the Flybywire plugin is not compatible in this version of X-plane. So I have told to Austin. About the starting engines.. if X-plane still have this new way of starting engines I will have to put 2 new buttons inside the cockpit, but for those that want to start engines on 9.40 now they need to press F8 to put Fuel Mixture on maximum value.

yep.. I couldn't and didn't want to say anything about it because is Anton project. The only that knew about it was Anton and my girldfriend. Yes, the systems of the A320 are really mad!! but Anton is good on programming. best look on your projects also!! I see you model really really nice!!

Ok People. I have to announce a little thing. Last summer on August I received an e-mail from Anton Volkov showing me his project: Airbus 320-200. After viewing it and seeing the potencial of that project, and because I needed a programmer I asked him if he could do the programming of the CRJ because he has really beautifull skills programming... and I would help on the creation of the A320 model. Now we have been working all September he on CRJ programming (that is really nice!!!) and myself modelling the A320. This screens are 2 weeks of working so step by step ;D Where, when and how will be reply by Anton when he think is good for that... but sure you all will have more news about the A320. Now we both can say that our planes (CRJ and A320) will have a body done by me, and a soul done by Anton. Edit: nowadays Anton is not working in this project, and Philipp will catch the ball to insert the body, the soul!

Also I will say that if you want to start engines you won't. Only way is loading the plane with engines started. I am looking on the problem right now.

Hello all! I have noticed that the ALT mode and V/S mode on 9.40 RC7 doesn't work on the Javelin 1.2. Anyone has seen this also? I have tell Austin, and see if he can see the problem with it, because I don't know if it is a bug or a new way autopilot handles the plane. Have been changing things but nothing on my computer. So If you want to fly with the Autopilot on x-plane, please don't move to 9.40 until the problem is fixed. I will follow this problem and tell any news.

Sorry for answering late. I think you just downloaded the 1.2 patch so every little issue is solved. Of course you can review the plane!! Why should I say no, to you?.. hehe.. go ahead!

Gracias! bueno.. no es que no haya gente de habla hispana, es que todos se concentran en x-plane.es y por eso aquí no publican, pero vamos... que yo encantado de hacerlo en los dos sitios!

The plane is flying well on 9.3 patch. On the firts betas the engines were so powerfull that could put the javelin out of space but now are good. Also there were little bugs but laminar fixed them, so if there is no complain about it, I will leave it as it is.

Well... 3D Studio Max is professional and has things that Blender don't have. It is also fast and I have been using it for 10 years so I like it. But Blender is really, really impresive 3D package, and it is free!! Even it has some more powerful tools that Max, like particles and other things. You can work on both (and I use both)

I added 3 new instruments in 3D: The Garmin GPS 430, a Chronometer and a external thermometer. Aswell fixed several little bugs, and of course all for free (the update). The plane for only 18$ (13€). The price of a porcion of pizza or a beer on Norway!!!

Well.. I would like to see every system inside the plane, but I would like to talk at the end of the developement of it, and announce the simulated systems. For now I am happy the way CRJ is going.

Yes.. is silence around but is like a library where everyone is studing!! hehe. Right now the project is going ahead finding solutions and I am really happy about the results I finding I think soon will be able to tell news about it... but of course I never would abandon a work of mine. But this little bird needs much more atention than all my other planes.
