Nice work – the night lighting is also excellent which is good, many developers don’t spend a lot of time with it.
The only thing that bugs me a little about it is the B737 MCU under the glareshield. Unless they’ve modelled it off an aircraft which has had the avionics completely replaced, I’ve never seen or heard of a BAe146 with an autoflight control system that sensible!
All the aircraft I know of or can find information on had the usual (and typically British) units with very little common sense applied, but which somehow worked regardless.
http://www.airliners.net/photo/0945251/L/ is more like I’d expect to see.
There are 146’s / RJ’s with the 737 style MCU/MCP.
Check these photo’s: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Swiss-International-Air/BAE-Systems-Avro/1896816/L

I think it’s part of an avionics upgrade package.
Thanks Frank, but both of those are Avro RJs, not BAe 146s.
It’s a bit like, say, upgrading a B737 Classic with the panel functionality of a B737NG. In fact the Avro RJ series was effectively the same thing – a modernisation package of the BAe 146 airframe and systems and Qualitywings do state that they will be doing both BAe 146 and Avro RJ models seperately.
What I don’t know is whether they will have the same panel and gaugework or not. It’s not a major issue, it wouldn’t stop me buying or using the package, it just stands out a little.
Hi Ian,
I might be wrong here, but the topic on the qwsim forum states they’re currently working on the RJ100. I assume the screenshots they’re showing are coming from the RJ100….
That would make sense, although I understood that with the ‘base’ 146 pack already released for FS9, they were doing the FSX version of that first. It’s quite likely that I’m wrong and heck, I don’t care which comes first… I’ll happily get either Avro RJs or BAe 146s!
