In the ever-evolving world of flight simulation, the spotlight has firmly shifted to Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) and Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D v5/v6. However, a surprisingly resilient army of virtual pilots remains loyal to the old guard: . For those simmers, the Aerosoft CRJ 700/900 series has long been the gold standard for regional jet simulation. But with servers changing and support winding down, the question every FSX user is asking remains: Has the Aerosoft CRJ for FSX been updated, and is it still viable in 2025?
The short answer is yes. While Aerosoft has officially ceased major development for FSX, a critical was rolled out to ensure compatibility, stability, and feature parity before the team moved entirely to MSFS. This article dissects that final "updated" state, why it matters, and how to get the most out of this classic module today. Part 1: A Brief History – The CRJ That Changed Everything When Aerosoft released the CRJ 700/900 X for FSX nearly a decade ago, it was a paradigm shift. Before this, complex airliners were resource hogs. The CRJ introduced the CRJ Display System (CDS) —a fully functional, frame-rate-friendly glass cockpit that mimicked the real Bombardier (now Mitsubishi) jet. aerosoft crj fsx updated

For FSX users, the CRJ was a savior. It offered deep systems—including a fully modeled FMS, VNAV, and realistic fuel planning—without melting your CPU. Over the years, users reported bugs like the dreaded "autopilot oscillation" and "RMP (Radio Management Panel) freezes." But with servers changing and support winding down,
