November 2024

Message from the Editorial Team

Welcome to the eighth newsletter from Threshold!
In November, we wrote 39 news pieces and 6 articles.

As we enter the year's final month, winter holidays are just around the corner. November brought us some exciting news in the flight simulation community. Notable highlights include the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, an update to Fenix's aircraft that includes sharklets, and Aerosoft's highly anticipated Milan Malpensa Airport.

Another memorable event this month was our visit to FSConference. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded enthusiasts, explore innovative projects, and discuss the future of flight simulation. If you'd like to read more about our experience and the key takeaways from the event, be sure to check out our detailed travelogue in this article.

Time flies. Just a few months ago, we were eagerly awaiting the new simulator's release, and now it’s here, along with all the other updates. November did not disappoint when it came to flight simulation news.

We hope December will bring even more exciting updates to share with the community. As always, Threshold will keep you informed!

STORE NEWS

We are proud to present the latest addition to our store, the RJ Professional by JustFlight!

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 BAe 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 BAe 146.

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! The RJ Professional brings you all three variants of the RJ family: the RJ70, RJ85 and RJ100. 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.
