Bombardier CRJ700 series

This is a project to develop the Bombardier CRJ700/900/1000 regional jet for FlightGear Flight Simulator.

It is already a highly complete and functional aircraft, with a realistic model, cockpit, and autopilot. Contributions and pull requests, of course, are welcome.

crj700-family's Issues

No Livery

Downloaded from the default "FlightGear aircraft distribution for 2020.x versions" from the launcher, although I've also tried installing from the CRJ700-Family-Master.zip from reading previous issue reports, this has not resolved the issue. Running FlightGear 2020.3.11 on Windows 10.

Aircraft has no livery or textures and appears all black. "Select Livery" menu option does not bring up any options and the nasal console displays:
Nasal runtime error: No such member: dialog
at /sim/bindings/menu/binding[226], line 2

Excellent aircraft otherwise!

Rendering performance issues

Considerable lag when

  • looking down the first time from the panel to the floor,
  • leaving cockpit to an outside view the first time,
  • entering an area infested with several CRJs.

Emergency hydraulic circuits don't work when in AUTO mode

When out of fuel or with both engines out, emergency hydraulics won't work if switches for those circuits are set to AUTO instead of ON. Is this the real behaviour? Should they be set to ON by default instead of AUTO as described in checklists?

Ground lift dumping - manual arming

manual arming of ground lift dump should not deploy spoilers immediately but arm them in case of failure of the automatich arming system.

Altimeters not synchronized

changing altimeter setting affects only pilot side altimeter. (reference value is displayed on both sides)

fuel consumption

Idle fuel consumption is to low.
Fuel consumption should be checked in general.
Idle thrust could be sufficient to hold taxi speed?

Can't select liveries anymore

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is related to a messed up installation...
From menu Bombardier CRJ700 I click on Select Livery. No menu shows up.
Console message:
72.43 [ALRT]:nasal Nasal runtime error: No such member: dialog
72.43 [ALRT]:nasal at /sim/bindings/menu/binding[226], line 2

I downloaded CRJ700-family-master.zip from github
Flightgear version 2020.3.6 compiled from source in Linux Ubuntu according to
https://wiki.flightgear.org/Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu
I don't have livery problems with other aircraft, e.g., CRJ200.
Thank you for everything!

Autothrust Speed Mode switching between IAS and Mach

When pushing the SPD knob, the switch should be between IAS and corresponding Mach number, not separately stored values. Currently you can switch between for example: SPD Hold IAS 250 and SPD Hold Mach 0.78.

Front landing gear breaks off too easily when turning

Hello,
Try for example: Keep engines idle. Press q a few times to turn left for example with the front wheel turned about -60° from straight ahead. After the aircraft rotates about 150° the front landing gear disappears from the aircraft, as if it had broken off. Not sure this is how it should be! :-)
Apart from that, the aircraft flies nicely! Thanks!

Real CRJ has no auto-thrust, AP speed button is wrong

Thrust must be set manually.
Real CRJ autopilot: "speed" is a vertical mode, e.g. you give a desired airspeed and the AP tries to match it by pitching nose up or down (maybe impossible dep. on thrust and other parameters)

Livery list doesn't appear

Whenever I click the 'Select Livery' button in the hotbar, the typical livery list doesn't get pulled up. I have tried it on the 700 and 700ER.
