Bless you sir! I'm 3 airplanes behind with these study level airplanes. The pmdg b737-600 , A310 and the CRJ . Now I've got a fighting chance to start enjoying these airplanes.
An easier way I've found to get a basic flight plan into the CRJ is to plan the flight on the world map ( high IFR ) and load into the sim. While the CRJ doesn't load in the plan from that world map, it still will show up you press V to view the VRF map. Now you don't need to jot anything down since you can just move the mini map to a corner in the screen and type in the way points manually. An added bonus is that ATC will still follow your flight and advise of altitudes just like on a flight with a default plane. Once you feel comfortable doing that I'd suggest using the arrival / departure button on the FMC. ATC will usually tell you to expect landing on a certain runway using a certain waypoint or procedure. - pause the sim and use that arrival / departure button and go to arrivals. You should see a list of runways on the right. Look for the runway ATC told you and select it ( it should turn green ) and it will show the available landing procedures for that runway on the left, or sometimes below the runway under vectors. Select that as well, hit execute and now the flight plan will be updated with the landing, and all the landing frequencies for ILS/LOC/etc will be prepped and set for you. You will want to go to the legs and clean up any discontinuities so you can "attach" the landing to your existing flight plan. Un-pause the sim and you should be treated the plane doing most of the work for you. You of course will still need to manage the throttle for speed and decent. Turn the AP off when feel comfortable taking over the landing, touch down - put the engines in reverse, hit the wheel brakes, and deploy the spoilers/airbrakes. If you are thinking about buying the CRJ but are worried it's too advanced for you, then I'd suggest practicing with the Cessna CJ4 Business Jet that comes with all versions of the sim. If you are on PC download and use the Working Title Mod as it will make the plane a bit more realistic and updates the FMC to be very similar to the one in the CRJ. Now you have a free plane that uses the same screen readouts, FMC, auto pilot, and lack of auto throttle. The WT mod also lets you use flight plans from the world map if you prefer the simplicity. Learning to fly the CJ4 will help make transitioning to the CRJ far less intimidating and doesn't cost anything. The Major differences between the planes for the sim pilot would be the overhead panel, lower pedestal, functioning heads up display and the tablet. The only major downside with the CRJ is that it's flight computer isn't compatible with MSFS world map. It will let you import and save flight plans from Sim Brief, but that can be intimidating for a beginner or bothersome for a casual simmer. The method mentioned above so far is the fastest easiest way to use the MS flight plan with this bird and because the CRJ typically only does short flights means inputting 5-8 waypoints. As you advance with the understanding of the FMC it is possible to create a flight plan completely from scratch without need to consult any outside maps or list of way points. Essentially you just put the airports in the to / from area of the flight plan. Then using the arrival / departures page you just tell it what runway you are on, pick a depart that sort of goes toward the other airport and then do the same for the arrival. Then you just delete the massive discontinuity from last waypoint of the departure to the first of the arrival and it connects them. Hardly realistic or pretty.. but hey if you don't want to plan you don't have to . :p
Glad I found this video. Ive had the 4 planes of the series for a while and have flown them alot straight manually. Always wondered how to do this. Thanx for this....
G Day William , love your new intro looks great. Glad you figured out about the Yaw Damper. One thing and I may be wrong I believe you do not turn on the Yaw Damper at take off or landing. So it may be a process that is turned on just prior to turning on the AP, be interesting to know when you figure it out. The AP turning off may be because you shift the Throttle, remember in the A320 the climb position is where the auto Throttle works. This is another mystery for you to solve. Does the plane have a speed button, that should indicate whether or not there is auto throttle. Hope this helps

this works man wow thats man this was this best one i found on youtube
I'm Back on it. Again, geat video with none of the nonsense. Cheers.
Lovely tutorial! Thank you so much for putting this together for everyone and sharing your tips.
I was hoping this would be your next video. Now I can feel comfortable buying that plane myself
Another great territorial this will make want me to fly it now. I had problems flying it at first so I just parked it. Thanks again
this one takes more practice than most,

Wonderful. thank you very much, have a great day :)
Glad you got it all sorted! Happy flying!
thanks mate
Struggled a bit with this plane, your walkthrough will help a bunch, great video!
good luck. have fun mate.
Glad I found this video. Ive had the 4 planes of the series for a while and have flown them alot straight manually. Always wondered how to do this. Thanx for this....
Your awesome 🙏👍
cheers mate, :)
Great video very informative :)
looks like a great plane I will follow closely how you get on and what you think of it. May be a great addition to your fleet.

Hi Doug, there is no auto throttle, it is a difirent beast completly, will always prefure my boeing :)
Thank you for the tutorial good info, but my CRJ will not follow the flight plans path, I followed your steps and am not sure what is going on.
how to get the pink line on the heading indicator to be able to use the NAV in a CRJ
you need to put your waypoints into the fmc
Will this plane ever come to console
I dont know Shane
For some reason, my autopilot will not work.. It will connect then disconnect..
HI Dan. I had this problem 2. Try turning on the yaw dampers. down beside the seats arm rest on that bottom panel, this worked for me. good luck
