INTRODUCTION

Thank you very much for purchasing Digital Aviation & Aerosoft CRJ700/CRJ900 package. Development of the

package went through a lot of highs and lows. Thank you for bearing with us.

The CRJ is a typical regional jet to connect smaller airports or remote areas with the bigger hubs. Hence the

CRJ can get fast up to cruise altitude and stay there pretty long, but is not designed for world record cruise

speeds.

The CRJ’s history goes back into the 80’s, when first studies were made regarding options to create a regional

jet out of the Challenger 600 business jet. Near the end of the 80’s Lufthansa pushed the idea again and the

project was actually started in 1989 with the maiden flight in 1991 and certification in 1992: the CRJ100 was

born. The CRJ200 was developed later based on the CRJ100 and equipped with better engines. Both versions

carry 50 passengers.

When the CRJ700 was developed, the fuselage was stretched further to accommodate 70 passengers.

Accordingly, the wings needed to be modified, and furthermore new winglets and new engines were attached.

Its maiden flight was in May of 1999. On basis of the CRJ700 the CRJ900 was developed. The fuselage was

stretched again to accommodate 90 passengers.

The CRJ700 / 900 by Digital Aviation & Aerosoft comprises the CRJ700ER and CRJ900ER models with flight

dynamics modelled according the respective flight performance data and of course 3d representations as close

as possible in FS to the real thing. Accurate systems programming reflects behaviour of the real CRJ within

normal operations.

The beta testers of this product deserve special mentioning. In this development, we experimented extensively

with involving them directly in the production, they often tested code minutes after it was written, gave

feedback and got new code almost immediate. Without them the product would not be where it is now.

We like to thank the following people for their patience and assistance: Daniel Desjardins, Emanuel Hagen,

Finn Jacobsen., Thomas Lindner, Matt Parker, Brandon Promeneur, Aku Ronkainen, Tobias Timm, Otto Schafer.

We are too late to thank Andreas Kraft as he passed away unexpectedly during this production. Let it be

known his assistance was very important.
