Just Flight announced the release date and details of the upcoming Avro RJ regional airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator, alongside an extensive video showing its features.
The aircraft will be released on November 8 on Just Flight’s own store for $69.99. Those who already purchased the popular BAE 146 will receive a 20% discount.
A release on the simulator’s official marketplace should follow in one or two weeks.

Nicknamed by many “mini Jumbo” due to its four jet engines that gave it a similar silhouette as a 747 (albeit on a much, much smaller scale), the Avro RJ was the successor of the BAE 146, sporting updated avionics and more.
Considering the quality of Just Flight’s BAE 146, it’s likely that the Avro RJ will be another fan favorite among hardcore simmers who enjoy vintage airliners.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
This aircraft should also work out of the box (if everything goes well in terms of backward compatibility) in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which will release on November 18 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. You can enjoy our hands-on preview with plenty of interesting details for your perusal.
