A good pilot uses his altimeter to know when he's at 10,000 feet. A GREAT pilot uses the cabin crew announcements to know when he's at 10,000 feet.

I had to do a double take. The graphics they did is unreal!

Nice seeing a flight that didn't take place in a sunny day and mixing it up a bit in the rain. Thank you for showcasing this aircraft Jeff as it is very sleek looking both inside and out!

"Have to be on top of the plane to fly it" -looks at lightning- "nah I'm good"

As someone who loves regional jets this is fantastic

This game looks so chill. The type of game to play when it’s rainy and cold like how it is currently in my country. Great content Jeff

This may be a bit nerdy, but I’m most impressed with the cockpit computer and button animations and sounds. The clicking, tactile response and computer response has me immersed. Just so well done!

That rain looks incredible.

Real world CRJ pilot here. Normally the hydraulic pumps should be set to Auto / On. All switches in the down position. ON position on the auto switches are placed ON during abnormal operations only. Nice video on you part. Well done. As far as climb profiles.. Set by the carrier. At Skywest we use 200 KIAS initially then 250 KIAS to 10K. Then a 250/290 to .74 climb in the transition up to final cruise altitude. But of course in the flight simulator world you can create your own! The turbulence button introduces lag into the autopilot system. And that will slow everything down as far as control response when the autopilot is on. Works pretty well most of the time except in Mountain Wave. Also be sure it's turned off before entering the terminal area otherwise we'll be too much lag and you overshoot courses. Should also be turned off during climbing and descending so you don't overshoot altitudes

Hey Jeff, haven’t fully watched the vid yet just want you to know that I appreciate your vids!

Always turn APU off in CRJ and let it wind down before hitting PWR/Fuel button. APU door opens and closes with the pwr button.

It is a very nice aircraft. I think I remember the AeroSoft saying that the reason there is no Weather/Terrain radar in is is due to limitations on the SDK that they are from Asobo. As soon as they are able to, they will implement it. Same probably applies to the wipers and rain on windows.

I was raised in Southeast Missouri and lived in Springfield, Missouri for almost 30 years. My wife and I moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico in September of 2020 to care for her mom. As for the graphics of Springfield in this game, top notch! Love your work! 🍻

This plane is not easy to learn. I've done four flights now and every one has had an issue. There's a lot to remember and the plane gets ahead of you sometimes. Mostly struggling with maintaining the right speed with flaps on approaches. Auto-throttle will spoil you

Just did my first hour of flying towards my private pilots license!

I work for GoJet modding old Mesa CRJ 700s into 550s. They definitely have their quirks as far as the electronics go and they are extremely tail heavy. Aerosoft did any amazing job with the detail on this aircraft. Everything looks very spot on.

I love the Aircraft I’ve already done 2 long hall flights in it great content Jeff!!

Just a heads up… on CRJ 550-700-900 you want HYD pumps in AUTO and 3A ON and also YAW damp is always ON… very entertaining even for a CRJ driver like myself

Heya Jeff! Great Video! RJ driver here. during your preflight procedure, we don't select anything on the FCP. Instead we select the TO/GA buttons on the Thrust Levers. The FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator) on your PFD should read TO/TO (Takeoff/Takeoff) This will give you an initial pitch attitude for takeoff.

As a person with attention problems the hud/heads up display is super helpful so i dont have to constantly switch focus

The detail on those lights is insane.

Hey man, not from Springfield, but I am from Chillicothe! I've all over the state hundreds of times through life, we are the same age. I am now in Northwest Missouri closer to Nebraska.

*Jeff releases a video on my birthday* Me: Ah yes, my birthday is now complete!

Whats up Jeff, hope your having a wonderful day today. Continue to enjoy life for us because your living it right now bud.

Jesus dude, how do you know all this stuff? I'm a CRJ FO and everything from terminology to procedures is really quite impressive. Perfect? No, but hot damn it's head and shoulders above what any street pilot would know about the CRJ. Good stuff man.

Jeff always makes everything look so classy, smooth and professional. After flying the Aerosoft CRJ for a bit, I've become paranoid that I may be doing something wrong. On every take off of the CRJ my pitch (nose of the plane) always shoots up to 20+ degrees by itself even though I followed instructions to set the Take off trim properly (based on weight). It just feels like there is so much thrust that the plane naturally likes to pitch up. I may be doing something wrong, but rewatching this video over and over again, I can see that Jeff certainly has his plane under control.

Happy Sunday

Yeeeeeeeessssss, i was hoping you'd put out a video of the CRJ(s)! I was hoping you'd do a review or flights with them! Definitely want to see more of these jet in future videos! As always, great flying Jeff! Hope you, Nicole and the pets are staying safe too! Love ya brother!

Finally flying in real weather and not the boring sunny to partly cloudy 75 degrees. Thx

Awesome outside inspection and review! 👏🏻👏🏻🤩 Thank you very much. 👋🏻 Best regards from Spain 🇪🇸

Jeff...you're a genius! To be able to play all these games at such a high level is the mark of a genius. I'm retiring from teaching after 30 years in a few months. I'm getting a new pc to be able to run MSFS and X Plane. Your videos will be a great help to me. Thanks so much.

Damn when you started I thought that was a real aircraft that some seriously good graphic wow great video thanks

I work on CRJs they are small and interesting. but over all great planes. and interesting to work on. it looks so realistic even the cargo looks accurate. 500 is a basic business jet 700 seats more and is more of a daily passenger plane. thanks Jeff. making my work feel more appreciated.

For the pop-outs to work, you have to use the right ALT key. Literally the one on the right side...which also happens to be the correct ALT key

I'm in springfield several times a year. Also go thru Lebanon several time yearly to go trout fishing up there. I've worked on CRJs for 11 years. This model looks amazing. One thing I noticed is your Hyds are supposed to be all forward, Auto, On, Auto, Auto. So your electric pumps 1 and 2 don't run the whole time only when needed.

I’ve got to say , your passion for flying is crazy. Great stuff !! Thank you !!

This was an absolute joy to watch!

Great Flight Jeff!!! The Sim is coming along quite wonderfully in my opinion and will only get better, lot's of great things in the works from what I have been hearing!!! Want to see more MSFS from you!!! Thanks again!!

That is a beautifully modeled plane!

Worked at KSGF for 2 years for Northwest (Pinnacle) also graduated from Lebanon High School in 02. Small world.

At 17:39 the wipers are not wiping away precipitation (rain) at all. So much for progress. I do applaud you for mentioning it at 19:14. Come to think of it, my Train Simulator 2018-19-20 and Train Simulator World all have effective wipers that actually remove the rain, snow, and sleet. As a bonus, some of them have delay wipe mode. Very immersive in inclement weather to be honest. This special effect should of been implemented right from the start. Quite surprising that this effect went "under the radar" considering the superb detailing of the CRJ's. I do own many fine Aerosoft Software, for FS2002-FS9-FSX-FSX SE and Prepar3D. Aerofly FS-1-2 are also in my library. This is quite an omission in brand new FS2020. More so in a quality addon such as this one. Well deserved "thumbs up" on your informative video presentation. CYUL

The fact that they went as far as to include warning signs in places almost know one would think to look is truly amazing just changed out my yoke and loaded up this plane so ima see how it goes

Nice! Happy to see a new MSFS vid Jeff - great as always!

I work on CRJs and the accuracy is incredible.

I'm sure someone else has said it, but if you hadn't seen it yet. It's "Right Alt" + Left click for the screen pop-outs. "Left Alt" does not work. Took me forever to figure that out. Hope it helps.

I work on CRJ’s and ERJ’s and these graphics are extremely accurate and I’m happy

The air conditioner comes on when you close the doors. Not halfway down the runway when everybody is sweating. This is not a Cessna and the Yaw dampener comes on before taxi. Also turn the AP off first before cutting fuel. There is a reason for ON/OFF of APU and a separate fuel button. Follow the checklist of the EFB more closely

From North Carolina but went to SMSU (now Mo. St.) for one year in the 90's. Missed the ocean too much and came home to finish school.

ive lived in springfield all my life love the storms that roll through

The plane is soo cool it looks realistic wow 🤯🤯

This looks so realistic it’s insane where flight sim games have come

Man this brings back memory’s of me working for the airline. I love those CRJ. The details on that game is so close what I would see on the aircraft 👍👍

The details are amazing. They did a very good job. It brings me back to when I use to work at MSP for Swissport then DGS. For Swissport, I was an aircraft refueler. And for DGS I was a Ramp Agent. Where would work on CRJ 100-900 on the regional ramp.

I’m from Springfield Mo!! Lived here all my life and fly out of KSGF all the time!

FYI: After you enter your location into the FMS, you can 'copy' the coordinates by hitting the tab on the right after the coordinates for KSFG, hitting the right tab next to the blank coordinates to set your position so you don't have to tab to the next page.

Been to Springfield a lot! Was born in Joplin, Missouri. Loved visiting the Bass Pro Shop there in Springfield growing up!

How do you edit your thumbnails to make the game look a whole lot different, and Realistic. It is freaking amazing. Keep up the great content :-)

10:15 you don’t select anything until in the air. Positive rate, gear up, speed mode, 400’ heading or nav, 600’ AP, at 1000’ then you can bring the speed back up to 200 and you will start accelerating towards an appropriate speed to retract flaps. It’s amazing how in depth and realistic the FMS is! Edit: in fact I’d say to leave flight director alone on ground as a way to remind you to hit TOGA before takeoff, as it will come up automatically.

I’m from Springfield. Actually a long time ago we met at Gateway Motor Speedway in St Louis. So glad to see SGF in MFS

I have about 3000 hours on the old CRJ now a 175 capt. Excellent work on this

Really cant wait to get this! Thanks for uploading a video on it!

Please do more flights with this plane you're the best

Great video and job flying. Thanks again Jeff! Canada is watching to.

The amount of details that go into this is amazing

Can't wait to fly this thing!

If someone turns on the landing light while you are staring into it the lights actually burn your retina just like irl. The emersion is incredible.

Wonderful flight bro!!!!

Very nice vid Jeff! Love the plane

Aerosoft is well known for their very realistic planes; i had the F-14 for fsx and i enjoyed it

Looks like an awesome airplane to fly!! Cool to see the smaller planes! Thanks Jeff for taking us on this flight!! Can’t wait for the next one!!

This thing is awesome! I have it and I absolutely love flying it!

alwys amazed as a american pilot myself your right on point even have a better landing then me lol I fly the ERJ175

So relaxing to watch

This looks so real I went and got my rain coat

Very cool video Jeff. I’m loving the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

As someone who has zero interest in airliners I found this video surprisingly entertaining. I may force myself to have a look at the airbus mod........ :)

Love the vids keep it up and idea 💡 you should take a trip to Ireland dublin

cuba missouri here jeff. been watching since the start of gta roleplay. Good work

What a beautiful model.

I live in Springfield currently! Love your vids Jeff!

Hi Jeff, so happy to see a video on on a CRJ! Keep up the great work. Thank you so much!

This video cleared a lot of things up for me. Wasn't sure about landing with localiser and the autopilot! So use to the Airbus. Thanks mate, Great video :D

Great video as usual. Just an FYI.....there are 3 pages to the vnav setup in the fmc.....you only configured the first page (climb).....you can thumb thru the other two pages by using the next page button on the fmc. That way you can configure cruise and descent.

nice flight, great landing

Please more MSFS Vids. I love them, especially cold and dark on airliners. Love your vids buddy!

@Jeff Favignano not from Springfield but did live & grew up in Joplin, MO, & now living in Kansas City. Flew out of & into SGF a few times. Best flight was from SGF to ORD then onto LHR & eventually ended up in TLV. Love the vids man & come back to Missouri soon!

Hey Jeff, I am a big fan from since day one. I Love and appreciate your flight vids, they always make my day. I also learn alot from you because I want to be a pilot when I grow up, so thanks again and keep up the good work.

The thumbnail looked so real, like it was taken in real life.

Loved this one Jeff! Keep it up! 👍

Dude you just understand this stuff like it is every day 🤯😮😦

19:56 Double rainbow!

Notice how he never walks directly underneath the airplane, that’s a habit that you make as a bag thrower.

ctrl+u, ctrl+f, search for "og:image", then use the link.

It was definitely raining like that in SGF this last week lol

Could you make a how to video for all the components inside the plane, it would help a ton! Especially when it releases on console later this year

impeccable performance once again jeff ...

Good vid Jeff never fail us

Hey Jeff these 550s I actually work on for United they are fantastic because of the lack of Gate check bags and also beautiful on the inside!

Omg awesome flight Jeff

I lived in Springfield has a kid but now I live in Boston mass
