Following on from their award-winning 146 Professional for MSFS, the Just Flight in-house team has developed this high fidelity simulation of the F28 regional jet following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real world aircraft, ex-PH-CHN at AM&TS (Curio) Woensdrecht.

Just Flight are excited to bring you all four production variants of the F28: the Mk.1000 to the Mk.4000. Announced in 1962, the F28 Mk.1000 first flew in 1967 and entered airline service in 1969. The Mk.2000, 3000 and 4000 variants followed in the 1970s and featured increases in fuselage length and wingspan. Production ended in 1987 with a total of 241 aircraft built. The aircraft proved to be popular and entered airline service with a large selection of airlines from all around the world. A small number of military operators still operate the type into the mid-2020s.

Model

• Incredibly detailed exterior and interior models of the Mk.1000, Mk.2000, Mk.3000 and Mk.4000 variants with 4K textures (8K cockpit textures available as a separate download for PC users)
• Highly detailed and accessible passenger cabin with forward galley functionality. including fully interactable forward galley controls for passenger and service door operation, passenger door jetway conversion, cabin lights, cabin-to-cockpit calls, cabin temperature and a music reproducer
• Realistic animations include dynamic wing-flex, all passenger, service and cargo doors, the distinctive lift dumpers, tail-mounted airbrake, ashtrays and sun visors
• Custom ground equipment
• Highly immersive exterior and interior lighting, including dimmable red and white cockpit lighting, dimmable cabin lighting including integral airstairs lighting and rotating beacons on the exterior
• 38 authentic liveries

Cockpit

• A true to life representation of the F28 cockpit environment down to accurately modelled screws, seat belts and wires. All instruments are constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations throughout
• EFB/tablet with aircraft customisation options, flight planning/monitoring with SimBrief OFP and Navigraph Charts support, and boarding/refuelling simulation
• Aircraft configuration system with Cold & Dark, Turnaround and Ready For Takeoff states
• Interactive paper checklists
• Support for native MSFS features, including both Cockpit Interactive System modes, VR support, and interactive checklists

Custom-coded aircraft systems

• Complex and custom-coded systems based on real-world flight manuals and extensive input from real-world F28 aircrew and engineers
• Full system functionality for the normal operations for all systems in the cockpit, including anti-icing, electrical, fuel, hydraulic. landing gear and pressurisation systems
• Full system functionality for alternate operations for all systems, such as a fully simulated flight control system with three modes of operation depending on the status of the hydraulic pumps. The aircraft flies significantly differently with no hydraulic power!
• Fully simulated SEP 6 autopilot system with vertical and horizontal modes of operation and an independent flight director system
• Optionally fitted custom-coded UNS-1 FMS
• Optionally fitted Working Title GNS430 GPS unit (supports MSFS Main Menu flight plan imports)
• Fully simulated and toggleable Altitude Alerting System and Altitude Preselect Controller
• Realistic engine simulation including accurate starting procedures and operating numbers, plus a fully simulated Top Temperature Control and Thrust Index engine management systems

Sounds

• Native (Wwise) sound package taking full advantage of the new MSFS capabilities
• Studio quality Spey Mk555-15 engine noise recorded from the real aircraft
• Hundreds of flight deck sound effects recorded from the real aircraft
• Pilot and cabin announcements, including co-pilot callouts
• Details equipment audio such as the APU, electrical circuits, hydraulic pumps, flap motors, and much more
