Following on from their hugely popular 146 Professional for MSFS, Just Flight's in-house development team has created a high fidelity simulation of Britain’s last airliner, the RJ Professional.
RJ Professional brings you four variants of the RJ family: the RJ70, RJ85, RJ100 and the proposed RJ100 QT Freighter variant. Each variant is fully custom-coded and created using comprehensive, hands-on research with a real world aircraft, RJ-100 SE-RJI. Over 25 high quality liveries represent the vast number of RJ operators from all around the world.
The RJ was developed in the 1980s and 1990s and first took to the air in 1992. The main goal of the RJ was to succeed the 146 regional jets, many of which were still flying in their original analogue cockpit configurations and without sophisticated autopilot or navigation systems. This, along with newer and more modern regional jets from other manufacturers, meant that it was beginning to prove difficult for airlines to operate the 146 in the modern-day aviation environment and a new aircraft was required.
The results of those efforts was the RJ, a glass cockpit airliner equipped with an EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System), PED (Primary Engine Display), FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) and FMS (Flight Management System) - a generational leap in capability from the 146.
Other avionics improvements include a fully automatic pressurisation system, digitally displayed COM/NAV/ADF radio, an autothrottle, a TRP (Thrust Rating Panel) allowing you to set V-speeds on the EFIS displays as well as select different engine power modes and a much more advanced autopilot, with LNAV and CAT3 autoland capabilities. The aircraft was also fitted with an FMS as standard, which in our simulation comes in the form of a fully custom-coded GNLU-910A.
Amongst all of these more advanced features, the RJ and the 146 both share the same type rating; there are, therefore, a lot of similarities in the operating philosophies between the two aircraft. A true mix of retro and modern and a really quirky aircraft to study and to fly!
See the Detailed Description below for full details of all the aircraft features!
The following PDF manuals are included with the aircraft software and you can also download them here: Operations Manual / EFB Manual /GNLU-910A FMS Manual

This is NOT the same product as in MSFS Marketplace. Additional tankers, such as Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, Handley Page Victor and Airbus A330 MRTT, should be purchased separately. All other features are similar.
This add-on was tested with MSFS2024 developer alpha version and some features do not work as expected (visual effects and flares behaviour mostly), also 3rd party aircraft may be incorrectly processed by refueling script. You'll need to wait several weeks or even months until all issues are fixed.
This tool does not support any kind of multiplayer activities. You will not see smokes and flares, created by other players, same as they will not see yours smokes and flares. Your wingman will stay invisible for other players as well. Aerial refueling Live mode is an exception, but it is very limited and still in development.
Rotorcraft (helicopters, ornithopters etc. ) can not be wingmen in MSFS2020.
Wingmen may have inaccurate appearance - fault visual effects generated, incorrect payload visible, blank registration number, especially when different aircraft model/type chosen.
AirshowAssistant features may be affected by 3rd party SimConnect/WASM tools which manipulate AI aircraft, such as AIFlow, Air Traffic Control etc. If you experience any troubles with aerial refueling tankers or wingmen, please remove these tools while using AirshowAssistant and if it helps - report the issue to traffic control utility developer. Parallel42 products like Campout Util and SimFX known to affect WASM functionality globally, workaround applied but you may need remove these add-ons if you have basket/boom position issues.
Some features require active internet connection and user authentication on the website.
Key Features:
1. Aerobatic Smokes and Flares: Create stunning visual displays in the sky with the inclusion of aerobatic smokes and flares. Showcase your flying skills and dazzle onlookers with a variety of maneuvers enhanced by colorful and dynamic effects.
2. Compatibility with ANY Aircraft: Unleash your creativity with the freedom to perform airshows with any MSFS aircraft. From nimble stunt planes to massive airliners, transform any flight into a spectacular performance.
3. Addition of wingmen capabilities offers an unparalleled opportunity to create more complex and visually stunning airshows. Whether you’re flying in close formation or executing intricate aerobatic maneuvers together, the sky's the canvas for you and your virtual squadron to impress and inspire. Choose from nine meticulously designed formations to execute with your wingmen. Ranging from classic V-shapes to more complex and dynamic arrangements, these formations provide a foundation for spectacular aerial choreography. You may choose various liveries for each wingman, or even different aircraft types. Build your dream formation and enjoy the company!
4. Aerial refueling:

The C24R Sierra is a single-engine light airplane with retractable landing gear developed and manufactured by American aircraft producer Beechcraft. The low-wing model can seat up to six, including pilot. It was developed to be trainer and a reliable personal cruiser with improved performance over previous models in its lineage.
The C24R Sierra is one of several members of Beechcraft’s Musketeer family. The lineage was born in 1963 with the introduction of the Model 23 Musketeer. The Model 23 was Beech’s initiative to produce an entry-level airplane for personal use as well as for a wide spectrum of training purposes. Several members of the Musketeer line debuted in the following years, including the Super Musketeer and the Sundowner. The C model of the 24R Sierra was certified for operation in 1976.
The Musketeer C24R Sierra is a comfortable cross-country aircraft due to its wide cabin, pilot side door, and extended large rear / cargo door. It features retractable tricycle landing gear (which folds away from the fuselage), a powerful 200-horsepower engine, and constant speed propeller. It is an excellent platform for Complex Endorsement training. One of the attributes pilots of the aircraft frequently note is its great cockpit visibility. This is due to the location of the wing aft of the aircraft’s front seats and a nose-down level flight, granting exceptional field of view.

Simulation Information
Welcome to Flysimware’s Sierra C24R Native for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Flysimware and 3DReach have modeled this vintage aircraft with an emphasis on realism and attention to detail. With help from an aircraft owner, we obtained laser scans, detailed reference photographs, and technical documentation to create an accurate replica with realistic aircraft systems and flight dynamics.
The Sierra C24R has been rebuilt for the native Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 environment, taking advantage of the simulator’s latest aircraft systems, visual effects, and interactive features.
The aircraft includes nine separate panel and avionics variants across three panel types, including updated GNS 530/430 V2 and G3X V2 avionics. STEAM panel configurations also support switching between traditional analog and CGR digital engine gauges directly from the Flysimware EFB.
Flysimware’s TrueSim HSI and ADI gyro system provides custom instrument behavior, while an enhanced dynamic climate control system and optional panel-mounted fuel tank timer with cabin temperature display add further depth to aircraft operation.
The Flysimware tablet is now fully integrated into the default MSFS 2024 EFB in both 2D and 3D. Its expanded features include customizable aircraft key bindings, TrueSim dynamic dirt controls, and complete synchronization of passengers, luggage, and fuel with the simulator’s default payload system.
Native MSFS 2024 pre-flight and walk-around functionality allows pilots to inspect and interact with wheel chocks, tie-downs, covers, engine plugs, and other exterior equipment before flight.
The aircraft features TrueSim dynamic dirt accumulation, windshield and exterior body rain effects, icing, and additional environmental effects. CFD airflow and propeller wash simulation also enhance aircraft behavior and interaction with the surrounding environment.
Whether flying short trips, long cross-country routes, practicing instrument procedures, or enjoying traditional general aviation, the Sierra C24R delivers a detailed and versatile flying experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The carrier deck quakes as a deep, guttural roar cuts through the noise and demands respect. The deafening thumping of 18-cylinders is instantly recognisable … the Zero Killer. Ace Maker.
The F6F Hellcat.
The logical successor & evolution to the F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat was the monstrous carrier-borne aircraft of the United States Navy in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. The Hellcat first appeared operationally in August 1943, proving its value immediately and taking part in some of the greatest air battles of the Pacific; from the Caroline Islands, to the Battle of the Philippines & many more. The aircraft was incredibly successful in battle, accounting for more than half of all airborne kills from the US Navy. The F6F claimed 5,156 total kills with an extraordinary kill ratio of 19:1, creating 307 Hellcat Pilot aces in the process.
The Hellcat is easily distinguished on the deck by its folding wings & the unmistakeable earth-shaking roar of the enormous 2000+ hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800-10W Double Wasp Radial engine. The engine is an air-cooled radial piston engine, with 18 cylinders, a 2-speed supercharger and water injection for additional power demands. This monstrous engine drives a 3-bladed Hamilton Standard Propeller with an enormous 4m diameter, capable of powering the aircraft up to speeds of 391mph (629km/h).
Capable of reaching 20,000ft in under 8 minutes, with a combat range of almost 1000 miles and a service ceiling topping 37,300ft, the Hellcat can get off the deck and into the fight quickly. Prepare yourself to experience the thrill of a catapult launch off the deck. Once you’re in the sky, the real challenge remains: the terror of landing back down on the deck safely. Put yourself to the ultimate test of bravery & skill and see if you can fly the Hellcat as successfully as the great pilots of WWII.
Featuring all-new ground handling physics developed in-house, custom thermodynamics modelling, cockpit shake effects, realistic water injection & automated flaps (a ground-breaking feature of the time), supercharger modelling and much, much more. The F6F Hellcat has been truly brought to life in MSFS!
