New BAe 146 from PAD

SOH-CM-2023
The new and long awaited (well, over at CBFSIM anyway) BAe 146 has been released over at Premier Aircraft Design and it looks rather nice; and the cherry on the cake is that it is a -100 series, something that has always been missed untill now - and the sprinkles on the cherry come in the form of a BAe 146 CC2 of 32 (The Royal) Squadron.

The various Jon Murchison offerings over the years, the new HJG versions, the Paul Hannity & the Eurowings 146s have always been of the -200 and -300 series (and'or associated RJ developments); all of them have been very nice, but it left a gap in the lineup (I believe there may have been an AI -100 at one point) which Bob & the team have filled. Gentlemen, I salute you! :salute:
 
Hi,

Quick test performed ...
Flyiable
Exterior model OK
Crappy nozewheel (burried in ground when braking) contact point (as usual and why ? )
Contact point correction under:

point.0 = 1, 28.95, 0, -12.76, 3000, 0, 2, 70, 0.1, 2.5, 0.952, 9, 8, 0, 219.9, 250.3

The engines are feed with amphetamines .. lol .. must tame them later ...

Toe brake are to soften (a lot !!)
This work for me:
toe_brakes_scale =0.65

Small video .....

Thanks for the heads-up; I am liking the Lufthansa repaint at Premaircraft's Repaint Corner. Now if we can get a Northwest Airlink livery...

EDIT: whups looks like I was off...Northwest Airlink (Mesaba) used RJ85s (BAe 146-200s). Maybe when they come out with the -200 we'll see that one (hint hint wink wink nudge nudge)

description=The BAe 146 is a medium-sized commercial aircraft which was manufactured in the United Kingdom by British Aerospace (which later became part of BAE Systems). Production ran from 1983 until 2002. Manufacture of the improved version known as the Avro RJ began in 1992.The BAe 146/Avro RJ is a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a T-tail. It has four turbofan jet engines mounted on pylons underneath the wings, and has retractable tricycle landing gear. The aircraft has very quiet operation, and has been marketed under the name Whisperjet. It sees wide usage at small city-based airports. In its primary role it serves as a regional jet, short-haul airliner or regional airliner. The BAe 146/Avro RJ is in wide use among European airlines, such as Brussels Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines and Lufthansa. The freight-carrying version has the designation "QT" (Quiet Trader), while a convertible version is designated "QC".
The BAe 146 comes in -100, -200 and -300 models. The equivalent Avro RJ versions are designated RJ70, RJ85, and RJ100.

If not corrected .. the repaint will never appears in the choice aircraft GUI :)
 
They've released a patched version over at PAD which tweaks the performance and tidies up a couple of issues the Royal Flight colour scheme.

Thanks for the heads up Claudius, the other four 146 repaint zips had the same omission. The help text has now been amended.

A little update in order methinks!

There is now a -200 series out at PAD which, when taken with the -300 available at HJG, means we now have a complete set!

PAD have a 3-pack repaint set of the -100, including an earlier livery for the CC2. And Techy111 is working on a lot of liveries for the -100 which can be seen over at CBFSIM, rather looking forward to the BAe demonstrator and the Dan Air one.:salute:
