Aerosoft announced that its Bombardier CRJ family is finally coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 alongside a massive update of the MSFS 2020 version of the aircraft.
The CRJ, which originally included the 700 and 550 versions, was the first complex airliner ever released for the original Microsoft Flight Simulator all the way back in 2021.
Aerosoft then added the 900 and 1000 variants, but the aircraft has been in need of an update for a long time. Finally, the developer is releasing that update, and hopefully, the regional jet will be fully operational soon.
The update will be released on March 25 and will include a fully remodeled cabin, an overhauled flight model, full Navigraph implementation, bug fixes, new features, and more customization options.
It’ll come both for PC and Xbox for both simulators.
While the aircraft was originally sold in separate packages (the 700 and 550 were sold separately from the 900 and 1000, on top of a bundle including all four versions), it’ll now be sold in a single package only with all the variants, priced at €49,99.
The good news shared on Aerosoft’s Discord server is that all existing users, regardless of which version they own, will receive the full bundle with all versions at no additional cost.
You can check out what the new version looks like below. Incidentally, you can also hear more about it in our recent interview with Aerosoft Flight Marketing Manager Raphael Maicher.

Incidentally, a few days ago Microsoft shared an extensive update about its plans for the sim, so you may want to read it to integrate what is said in this interview.
