This is an update for FSX of the CRJ-200 by Project Open Sky.  I have added the CRJ 2D panel; added a HUD to the 2D panel; added an autopilot and a HUD to the VC, in windows; this makes the old, nearly unusable, VC usable; brought the pilot view in the VC closer to the panel; corrected the contact points; and updated the flight dynamics.  For a model made for FS2002, it has all the usual animations.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the main FS airplanes folder.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed    = 125.0                 //Knots True (KTAS)
full_flaps_stall_speed  = 102.0                 //Knots True (KTAS)
cruise_speed            = 426.0                 //Knots True (KTAS) at 37,000 ft. 242 indicated [mach 0.74]
fast_cruies_speed 	=460.0			//knots over the ground at 37,000 ft. 265 indicated [mach 0.80]
max_indicated_speed=630.00
max_mach=0.95

The aircraft has about double the range it is supposed to, even when using fast cruise; if you don't want that, go into the aircraft.cfg file and reduce the fuel in the tanks; or set the rate the fuel is used up at greater than 1.

I found that a good touch down speed to be about 120 knots, give or take a knot or two.  This gives you a good view over the nose and makes for a smoother touch down.

The HUD and the autopilot in the VC need to be toggled on the instrument panel.  You can use shift + 2 to 9 to toggle large instruments that are easy to see as well as radios and the GPS.  This, I think, will enable someone to fly the aircraft from the VC.  Some of the gauges on the VC work, but may be hard for some people to see well.  I think when this aircraft was made, most did not have a VC as part of them.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
