NEWS! - UPDATED : CRJ-700 v1.1.0 by AD SImulations

 

 

AD Simulations have announced another huge update to their CRJ-700 to v1.1.0. It is only early March and already there has been three significant updates (with this release) since the CRJ-700 aircraft was released at Christmas 2021. The first major (and needed) update was the extensive update v1.0.1 on December 20th 2021 And that updated release was incorporated into our X-PlaneReviews release review: Aircraft Review : CRJ-700 by AD Simulations/Delta Wing

 

There was also a non-numbered HOT FIX on the 17th January 2022 Version 1.0.1 to cover the early changes by Delta Wing to the performance aspects of the CRJ-700

 

This third v1.1.0 release is even more focused on the systems and the aircraft's performance (early weakness areas), and it is quite a significant list in the changelog. Obviously Delta Wing is now having his presence felt in this side of the development of the aircraft, were as before the focus was more on the visual features (a better toilet?)... here is the full list.
