Comprehensive Animations: Included are fully functional control surfaces, leading edge slats (to optimize lift during critical phases), operating airstairs, and thrust reversers. You will also find high-quality external reflections and subtle shine effects on the fuselage, giving an authentic appearance that reflects real-world CRJ700 visuals.

Custom Sound Environment: A tailored audio package is bundled in this release, heightening the sense of immersion by simulating the unique engine and ambient noises typical of the Bombardier CRJ700 series.

Optional FSUIPC Compatibility: This aircraft add-on works well without additional modules, but FSUIPC is recommended to refine controller inputs and heighten overall realism.
