David, I have the Wilco CRJ. The best I can say about it is that it's "ok". It's not a great plane. My biggest gripes were with the autopilot system, MCP, difficult click spots. I have v1.3 and will shortly download 2.0 and give it a try. Here's what they say they've done in 2.0:

- Prepar3D compatible. This version is different from the FSX one and must be downloaded and installed separately.
- Improved Flight Dynamics for better ground handling and flight characteristics.
- Updated aircraft contact points to avoid aircraft sinking into the ground (in some cases).

I thought the flight model was fairly decent and about what I expected the plane to "feel" like. I have flown the plane on an AAV GFI and the plane did pretty good, followed the route, just was most annoyed on some of the clickspot difficulties and needing to use the 2D MCP for some things. Maybe they've fixed some of my gripes in v2.0. I'll see.
