Fantastic video. I've just sat in the CRJ following this step by step and it's an absolute delight to fly! Thank you so much for helping everyone with such a quick and concise tutorial.
You don't need to turn on the DC service switch. That's a feature for service crew who may need to get basic systems online without having to perform the entire startup process. If you switch on the main battery system, that powers everything, and the DC switch doesn't do anything but make a click noise. It's like rolling all your windows down driving down the highway to get some air, and then turning your fan on 'LOW'.
Just purchased the CRJ and searching for tutorials. This is the first one I saw, and subscribed because of it. Thank you for keeping it simple and clear, and step by step. I'll be watching this while in the cockpit. Now on to your landing tutorial. Thank you.
Finally found a tutorial that is simple and straight to the point. Only criticism is this aircraft doesn’t have the labels when you hover the mouse over them like other aircraft. Taking some getting used to finding where each control is since I’ve spent so long flying the Boeing and Airbus aircraft
Im new to msfs, I come from dcs which I still love. Tried lots of the aircrafts that came with msfs and some were good but just bought the crj and loving it, such a joy to fly and I love landing it.. Thanks for these vids
Just a tip, you forgot the nose wheel steering button. It make the CRJ even easier to steer. :). Amazing how well this aircraft handles on take off. Flying the default aircraft on take off and keeping them on the center line of runway is a nightmare. Makes you not want to ever go back to default craft.
I worked for there for about 12 years. I also worked on the CL215 Water Bomber. They sent me to their test facility in Mohave Desert twice, first time to replace bearings that were not staked or swaged within specs. The bearings on the wing links were swaged at 20 tons so that was fun doing that with the portable tools I was using. The second time was to work on the CL600 aircraft do the FFA certification.
@@Drawyah My ex took off with our 3 kids to a 5 hour drive and played games when I went to see the kids so I quit job plus the job at a bar and moved to Florida for 3 years and bounced/bartended and works on building houses during the week. I returned to the city where my ex lived. Kids moved in with me and I opened a paralegal business which I am still doing
Love your vids, very clear and easy to follow along. I just got the CRJ and with my minor case of dyslexia I just didn't get the whole written tutorial thing. I just kept wondering what to press and when. You remove all the guessing work and I just follow along. Thank you so much.
Considering the $50 price tag I wouldnt mind the checklist thing that msfs 2020 has, I'm still pretty new to flight sim and I learn by the checklist on how the turn it on and what to do after its very useful, then of course I can finally follow some of these tutorials.
Still running into issues with this aircraft, god bless you for sticking with it. Spent 30 minutes setting up flight plan, struggling to get rid of a discontinuity and then the damned thing crashes to desktop. This aerosoft CRJ is definitely not for the faint of heart, thats for sure
Where is the knob in the aircraft to set the trim to the required number for takeoff? I can't seem to find it. I see you showed it but I couldn't see from where you changed the setting.
Nice plane! I am still working on the throttle ,getting it right! Cant seem to get my TCA Q- Airbus Thrustmaster to sink with the CRJ,s throttle, maybe have to wait for a update for that to happen?? nice video!!
Great video ! Question: 24:13 you mention something about "letting the crew know" Is there a button that alert the flight attendance that take off is starting ?
If i could buy the mod but I can’t. But very impressive. Also, this aircraft is the most realistic one I think! EVERY ENTIRE BUTTON WORKS! I think those 50€ are worth it.
Great video and thank you very much! I started with my own FP but followed along. Was in cruise, at FL340 and she kept ballooning, going down to FL320 then up to FL360....it seemed it was always looking for FL340....I tried touching the throttle, ever so slightly to adjust, but simply got tired of chasing the needle and shut the flight down. Any suggestions?
I took off and my plane was stalling at toga and it wouldnt climb (wasn’t overweight) and then I turned on auto pilot and my plane started flying in circles. Any suggestions?
Hello friend, what is the version of your crj please ? in the performance page in the efb, you color is green, mine is blu, how to change that please ?
@@Drawyah okay, thanks. I'll need to learn how to do custom cameras (I knew how to do in Xplane but MSFS still a mystery). Good to know about the calibration on the EFB. I'll try that out after my A32NX flight from Brazzaville, Congo to Nairobi, Kenya.
Thanks for the vid. I followed your instructions albeit I used different take off and destination locations. Once in the air my AP won't engage. When I press AP it beeps once, the green lights come on like half a sec and I get a red AP letters in the display before it goes away.
Thank you for this useful video. Watching it now for the second time. What struck me your views of the panels. Somehow i am not able to reproduce this in MSFS. Playing around with arrows keys, combined with shift, crtl en alt. But no luck. Can you give me hint of your set up?
@@Drawyah thank you for responding. Watched it, tried it. Found out, that my keyboard made from shift arrow a shift number. Altered my keyboard profile, nog up and running.👍
Thanks for this. One thing I couldn’t figure out is why my plane doesn’t follow my way points for IFR I did everything in the video but I still have to fly with heading select on to get it to turn where I want it
There must be an bug with the engine start button. I dont get a white light after pressing start and my engine will not start. When i press strg+e engines will start. Ive done everthing like in the video...
Flight simulator just had a update and right? And when the update was finish I had to update one of my planes and it was updateing and All of a sudden the update just stop at the end. and when I rebooted the game back up and try to update the plane again and I thought it was done updateing and when I tried to Select a plane it was missing I look on my files and it was there in my files but it’s missing in the aircraft selection do u know how to get it back
I know you mentioned that the speed management is much more manual. However i don't know why, but the "speed limiter" or what the button is called simply doesnt work for me. My plane is either accelerating way too much but if i reduce the speed and don't pay too much attention, the speed quickly drops below 160 knots. I don't know how to maintain a speed level yet. Otherwise your video really helped me a lot. Especially with starting up the APU :D
There is no speed limiter, the CRJ has no autothrust. When I that speed management is key, I'm referring to how you manually control your throttle speed.
Where are you getting this information to put into the FMS for the flight plan? The route it shows me when I make a flight plan in FS does not include things like airways or departure patterns.
Awesome video, but how do you taxi this? It's not recognizing my yokes rudder knob at all. It only works with the default trim MSFS has which ruins taxiing. Any help?
Hey thanks for the video! Just have one quick question, if there any discontinuitys on the legs pages do we delete them? And one more question, when I takeoff and set the lnav it dosent follow the path, I’m %100 sure I did everything right I even loaded up the plane 3 different times and still didn’t want to follow it?Thanks!
You don't delete, rather copy and paste waypoints into these gaps. As for the first plan if the aircraft struggles to follow, Direct yourself to the next available waypoint.

Perfect thanks...got really frustrated with it last night. You made it so much more simple and easy and now i’m enjoying a flight with the crj
Glad to hear, I wish you many happy virtual hours! 🙌
Just bought the CRJ and this was extremely helpful.
I'm glad you found it so!
I keep coming back to this video....very helpful. Thank you
This is so much better than the PDF manual. Thank you so much!

I'm glad you're finding the tutorials handy, enjoy flying the CRJ! It's a very hands-on aircraft, one I adore flying.
YES. YES. YES. Thank you so much. Your tutorials helped me fly all the jets!
Thank you for the kind words, I wish you many happy virtual hours! 🙌

Makes you not want to ever go back to default craft.
Absolutely agree with handling, the aircraft feels just right! By far the best right now in MSFS. I'll also be sure to activate nose steering.
I have been waiting for this video. Best instructor on the internet for this stuff! Thanks for taking the time to shoot this!
Thank you for the kind words!
back again with a great tutorial
This video answered my worry after 1 minute. Not launching cold & dark is weird, for such an aircraft. So, thank you :)
Thanks so much, i know there so much tutorials nowdays on yt, but this is best
Thanks, This is a great Bird. I've been flying the Airbus and got too used to the Auto Throttle.
Awesome tutorial Drawayh! Very good explanations! Thanks for making this great tutorial for us all!
Yours are the best Tutorials I have seen. I would love to watch you live but the time diff makes that hard. Thanks heaps mate.
Thank you for the kind words, hope to see you on a live one day!
I worked for Canadair, later known as Bombardier, on the CL600 and CL601 which was the baby version of the CRJ-550/700
Very nice! How long were you there for?
I worked for there for about 12 years. I also worked on the CL215 Water Bomber. They sent me to their test facility in Mohave Desert twice, first time to replace bearings that were not staked or swaged within specs. The bearings on the wing links were swaged at 20 tons so that was fun doing that with the portable tools I was using. The second time was to work on the CL600 aircraft do the FFA certification.
That's pretty good! Did you leave by choice or stuck around until the projects were all sold off and retired a year or two ago?

Yikes, that's a hell of a story! Glad it all worked out in the end for you!
A very "meaty" and satisfying plane to learn and fly! I just bought mine yesterday.
Enjoy learning it!
Thank's for your great tuto !
This was so helpful, I hope to see more aircraft tutorials in the future!
The CRJ 550 is an awesome aircraft. I wish I had the same simulator in my laptop. God bless you for the job Hats up Captain😅😅😅.
This is brilliant, thank you very much for taking the time to post it. Hugely helpful for me.
Glad you found it helpful! 🙌
Your easy talking voice is literally the exact thing I need to be able to learn a new aircraft
Glad to know my heavily-fatigued 2am speaking voice is clear and concise still! Definitly one thing I was weary of. 😅

Yes, they've gone to the extreme with aircraft setup, it shouldn't be crashing however! Keep at it, you'll get there.
Great Guide, Thank You Drawyah.
New video. That's nice!
Great video! Could you maybe do an update tutorial for setting custom wing views like you did for the default airliners?
The process is exactly the same. Adjust the camera config and move around.
Thank Drawyah you really helped me
Superb tutorial!
Great instructional video. Thank you.
Wow, you learn fast!
But Drawyah, I really like all your Videos and tutorials and that you make so many Livestreams!
Thank you for this tutorial!
Too good man crj looks amazing!
Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks, very helpful. The "learn on your own" method I was trying was NOT working, lol.
Yeah....I tried that once upon a time, eventually you'll need to look back and ask for help. 😅 Goodluck with it!
Very good tutorial Video Thank you very much for this
Glad you found it helpful!
This is a really good intro video!!!
I'm glad that you have found it helpful!
Great tutorial 👍🏽👏🏼
Can't wait to get my hands on this airplane!
Thanks man! Super helpful😁
Very nice dude!
Where is the knob in the aircraft to set the trim to the required number for takeoff? I can't seem to find it. I see you showed it but I couldn't see from where you changed the setting.
use your trim button (that you probably have mapped on the stick), trim down or trim up and watch the number changed to your desired setting. :-)
Safe travels have a great flight
Thanks for the tutorial! Where do I the cruising altitude when i turn the wheel i cant find it? Thanks!
Nice job. Thank you!
You forgot the nosewheel steering to arm 🙈 but thanks for the video. It’s short and yet very explaining. Helped me a lot !
This video was never going to be perfect recorded at 2am, so long it helps the basics!
@@Drawyah It did a lot ! Thank you
I hope there will be a SIMBRIEF button to import it automaticlly to the aircraft.
Nicely done
Thank you!
Nice plane! I am still working on the throttle ,getting it right! Cant seem to get my TCA Q- Airbus Thrustmaster to sink with the CRJ,s throttle, maybe have to wait for a update for that to happen?? nice video!!
Same issue..stuck till we get an update
Make sure you are aligning for dual-throttle levers, not single.
Great video ! Question: 24:13 you mention something about "letting the crew know" Is there a button that alert the flight attendance that take off is starting ?
thank you
I'm starting to understand what you're saying :D
They need more aircraft with this amount of systems that work and more checklists!
Good tutorial
Dc service does not come on with the battery. DC service is used as a maintenance function :)
I didn't see at all how you adjust the take-off trim on the ecam. From the video perspective it just magically changes.
I'm using the trim binding on the keyboard which needs to be assigned.
Great video. I bayed from game marketplace. On 6:50 when I enter for FL "300" I got "INVALID ENTRY". What do I wrong?
Thanks very much for this!
Thank you, glad this tutorial helped!
When I try and put the waypoints and stuff in it doesn’t work it says not found is their anyway I could help me
Thank you! Even though I haven’t got this yet edit: I now have this plane!
If i could buy the mod but I can’t. But very impressive. Also, this aircraft is the most realistic one I think! EVERY ENTIRE BUTTON WORKS! I think those 50€ are worth it.
Do these plans come with checklists to help get familiar with where and how to start it up?
Can you make a video about ivao ATC communication tutorial
On the way!
2:43 You turned on all the Anti ice stuff, I’m guessing you don’t have to do that but I was just wondering why you cut it out and stuff.
I cut it as you weren't supposed to. Skip anti-ice.
How is the Trim adjusted as shown at 11:00?
Disregard
Great video and thank you very much! I started with my own FP but followed along. Was in cruise, at FL340 and she kept ballooning, going down to FL320 then up to FL360....it seemed it was always looking for FL340....I tried touching the throttle, ever so slightly to adjust, but simply got tired of chasing the needle and shut the flight down. Any suggestions?
Fly climbing with speed, not VS. Check your flaps too.
What did you do to set the stab trim? Can’t find the adjustment and it makes takeoffs...interesting
Yes, where did you adjust it, which knob?
Keyboard
Num 1 nose up
Num 7 nose down
@@srwilliams628 And on laptop without num pad? :D
@@Magyar9Andras it’s just a default key binding so it can be changed to anything you like very easy in the controls menu
I took off and my plane was stalling at toga and it wouldnt climb (wasn’t overweight) and then I turned on auto pilot and my plane started flying in circles. Any suggestions?
Check your weight! If configured incorrectly you'll likely stall on climbout!
How to you ajust the t.o trim position?
Hello friend, what is the version of your crj please ? in the performance page in the efb, you color is green, mine is blu, how to change that please ?
Damn good tutorial. But I noticed you did not set the STAR for Bremen. Or did I miss it?
I set the STAR for Bremen during the approach tutorial for the CRJ.
ua-cam.com/video/GPXsfpzSLqk/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot. work for me perfect
👩✈Excellent instruction.
I'm glad this helped!
Very nice mate
Im assuming no callouts v1 v2 rotates?
Cheers
No callouts at this time, better keep an eye on that airspeed indicator!
How do you know how much cargo you have? Like from the front /rear.
How do you adjust the quick instrument views? Also can you no longer free look from a quick view?
Also is there a really big dead zone on the throttle? I have to push my thtustmaster throttle to almost 50% before it registers on the crj.
The quick view intruments I have set custom. You need to calibrate your throttles on the CRJ EFB.
@@Drawyah okay, thanks. I'll need to learn how to do custom cameras (I knew how to do in Xplane but MSFS still a mystery).
Good to know about the calibration on the EFB. I'll try that out after my A32NX flight from Brazzaville, Congo to Nairobi, Kenya.

Check your flight controls, make sure they are active and stable.
I have the same problème
What is flight control
Where is it
Is it my joystick ?.
Thank you for this useful video. Watching it now for the second time. What struck me your views of the panels. Somehow i am not able to reproduce this in MSFS. Playing around with arrows keys, combined with shift, crtl en alt. But no luck. Can you give me hint of your set up?
You need to set the views up manually yourself. Check my custom window view video, there I show the commands and how to set them.
@@Drawyah thank you for responding. Watched it, tried it. Found out, that my keyboard made from shift arrow a shift number. Altered my keyboard profile, nog up and running.👍
Thanks for this. One thing I couldn’t figure out is why my plane doesn’t follow my way
points for IFR I did everything in the video but I still have to fly with heading select on to get it to turn where I want it
Make sure that your navigation source is set to FMS1. This can be changed by a scroll wheel on the left-hand side.
@@Drawyah thanks I’ll try it
@@Drawyah hmmm, it’s still not working. I’m using the Home Screen flight planner btw. Does that change anything?
Oh, right, yes. That does not work with this CRJ. You will need to program your flightplans manually as pilots would do in real life.
@@Drawyah ok thanks. Do you think they will ever enable it?
There’s something wrong with the pitch, some weird reason my yoke glitches out, I let my stick go, the nose dives, I did trimming etc
My fav plane from fsx.
There must be an bug with the engine start button. I dont get a white light after pressing start and my engine will not start. When i press strg+e engines will start. Ive done everthing like in the video...
Click on the APU power button, then the second starter will work.
Flight simulator just had a update and right? And when the update was finish I had to update one of my planes and it was updateing and All of a sudden the update just stop at the end. and when I rebooted the game back up and try to update the plane again and I thought it was done updateing and when I tried to Select a plane it was missing I look on my files and it was there in my files but it’s missing in the aircraft selection do u know how to get it back
is this CRJ fully functional like PMDG etc etc ?
Yes, the functionality of the Aerosoft CRJ is rather fantastic!
I know you mentioned that the speed management is much more manual. However i don't know why, but the "speed limiter" or what the button is called simply doesnt work for me.

Where are you getting this information to put into the FMS for the flight plan? The route it shows me when I make a flight plan in FS does not include things like airways or departure patterns.
As explained at the start of the video I use simBrief to create flightplans.
@@Drawyah Thanks. Is it adequately programmable with the ingame flightplan tools or do you have to use simbrief to make it function correctly?
Awesome video, but how do you taxi this? It's not recognizing my yokes rudder knob at all. It only works with the default trim MSFS has which ruins taxiing. Any help?
Calibrate through the EFB.
@@Drawyah Which part of the EFB? I can only find throttle calibrations.
Why isn’t this on the Marketplace
for some reason i cant enter waypoints in the FMS. there are no dashed lines for the VIA and TO
Check that your CRJ is up-to-date.
great video!!! How did you get the flight levels next to each point on the flight plan??
You need to set up your Performance and VNAV as shown in this very video...
@drawyah yep i know just double checking
Hey thanks for the video! Just have one quick question, if there any discontinuitys on the legs pages do we delete them? And one more question, when I takeoff and set the lnav it dosent follow the path, I’m %100 sure I did everything right I even loaded up the plane 3 different times and still didn’t want to follow it?Thanks!

@@Drawyah Thank you so much means a lot!
There is autothrottle on this aircraft?
Nope!
