The Little Jet That Could: Revisiting the Aerosoft CRJ for FSX

In the golden era of flight simulation, roughly spanning the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, few add-ons commanded the unique blend of respect and frustration as the Aerosoft CRJ 700/900 X for Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Today, with MSFS 2020 flooding our screens with photorealistic streams and pixel-perfect 3D cockpits, it’s easy to dismiss the FSX generation as “legacy.” But to do so would be to ignore a masterpiece of systems depth that taught an entire generation of simmers how to fly real jets.

If you purchased the CRJ recently, you likely downloaded the "CRJ X" package (which covers the 200, 700, and 900 variants). aerosoft crj fsx

A critical note for FSX users: Ensure you have the latest Service Pack (SP) installed. Aerosoft released several updates to fix the notorious "CRJ roll" issue on the ground and to update the navigational data.
