However, it's not complete yet till some of those issues are worked out and hopefully they will one day get a version of the UNS FMS and autopilot created for it. Then it will be really nice. Here's to hoping as Paul stated, there's tons of new LJ builders, plus a growing roster of CRJ builders too and we all need some accurate software. If the RJ software was worked on, maybe it could be like the Boeing suite, where it covers a few different types in one package, I.E., the RJ package would represent the CRJ/ERJ/LJ software.

    BTW, although far from perfect, I really am glad I got the PMRJ software as it looks great for what it is at this point.
    Your right there Eric,
    I doubled checked my emails I got from enrico, its the ERJ he is doing atm.
    Sorry for the misinformation, my apologies, shoulda looked before posting . Had CRJ on the brain for some reason.
    That being said though, its the MCP we need fixed, ie having IAS hold without having the autothrottle on. I have over 500hrs using the pmrj suite and it does what I need it to atm.

    Speaking of which, check this out.

    cheap too. Honeywell has bought into it as well, so looks like the technologies will be incorporated in the honeywell suites.

    That's okay Jeff, but I SO TOTALLY AGREE about the Flight Guidance Controller (mcp) with the IAS hold I also agree that other than those issues that havent been completed or added in yet, it works good.

    I was all set to go with the latest and greatest and do the 787. A few weeks ago I was introduced to the real Citation Mustang and I fell in love. I plan on building the mustang now as it is far more economical than an airliner in both money and space. I have always been a lover of the business jets and very interested in the VLJ concept since the Mustang and Eclipse were still on the drawing board. The only hard part about this whole project will be the shell and liners as you guys have pointed out. However take in the fact that panels and software are so easy we builders will have plenty of time to work on the shells and liners.

    Also for those not in the know Flight1 will be releasing a Mustang for FSX and they have partnered with Cessna and it looks amazing!

    I will have a mustang site up soon with a wealth of information.

    Man, I love those Citations! Using a G1000 type software will make it very easy to do the Mustang, with some ingenuity of course for the hardware end.

    Best of luck!

    Err... I hope you all don't mind me posting in a thread that is 3 months old

    I've downloaded Stoney3k's Honeywell suite (which atm is the PFD, MFD and EICAS) and have been testing it and boy does it look promising. I provided him with some feedback on the Dutch forum where he announced his project, he responded he is still working on it and seems determined to deliver a complete package including even the FMS. Btw, in the link I posted you can also find some screenshots of his ongoing development. So far, afaik he is the only one that has shown actual progress amongst the developers promising to deliver a proper Honeywell RJ suite.

    A bit on the side: I have one question about the PM RJ suite: on the screenshots I see a RMU but how functional is it? For instance, does it allow you to store frequencies into memory, can you use the "switch sides" function and does the system backup functionality work? If you use the PMRJ, what is your experience with this small but great gauge?

    Regards,

    Sander

    Sander, thanks for the post on Stoney's development. Im about to go check now. Let me get back with you on the RMU for the PMRJ if someone else doesnt beat me to it.

    Great idea, the more feedback he can get from ppl willing to test it, the better his release version will be (and a great motivator to keep at it, as well )
