Purchased the E175 recently and had a first go at it. First flight was with version 0.9.2, which worked well in pretty much all operational aspects, but the performance was absolutely horrid. Read in this thread about the development branch with version 0.9.5 and reinstalled accordingly - now my performance is near perfectly smooth, but now my MCDUs keep randomly freezing, similar to what others have said before.
As far as I can tell, I did not use my freelook middle mouse button, as mentioned by @CustomOrc225503. Just happens without any clear rhyme or reason it seems.
While flying itself is enjoyable now, without a reliably working MCDU it doesnāt make much sense. Hopefully that issue will be resolved soon, since otherwise I think I could have a good time with the E175.
Also:
Another thing I noticed was that the destination calculation seems to be off sometimes. Way off. Like hundred of NM off.
Was tempted for a short while today to buy it with the new update, but it seems its still a long way to go till they get to a state where the plane is worth the asking price. Iāll wait patiently a while longer then.

I am totally with you. Tempted, but donāt want to go through the disappointment of not having proper functionalities. So practising patience until it will be released officially.

Yeah, definitely donāt buy it if you want or are expecting a fully functional product. Think very early FBW A32nx. Flyable, some things broken, some things not there, some things work. Cockpit is OK, sounds are functional, nothing mroe. Definitely buy it if you want to contribute to the dev process. But to just boot it up and fly here and there, definitely wait.
I am personally torn. I see the potential and most things work well enough for short hops. The fact that MCDUs, PFD and MFD seem to randomly freeze on a whim is a big issue for me, though.
I just had a fairly successful flight with most things working as intended. And then, 20 NM from the destination the PFD froze. Also APP mode would not arm for nothing. Had to use secondary instruments and was still able to hand-land safely. Still, unless I actively turn on failures, I really would like my systems to work properly.
I do think once the issues are ironed out, though, this will be a great plane and I am looking forward to using it more frequently.

Anyone have the Discord link to FSS e175? Iād like to see what the devs are saying.
Thanks!
Thx. Didnt find a link on the official site, so i assumed they dont have one 
Just completed another flight, this time from KPSC (Tri-Cities) to KSLC (Salt Lake, Utah). Using version 0.9.2. The flight worked very well, including an ILS approach and landing on Runway 16L at KSLC. The only problem was after the landing was complete, with other planes like the 737 I can have arrows that direct me to the right gate. With the Embraer 175 this does not happen. I used LittleNavMap to find the gate that was assigned, but I could not get there because a building was in the way, so I parked in front of it. Got credit for the flight hours, but used ALT-B before shutting down the engines and turning off the batteries. Probably this feature has not been implemented yet for the E-175.
Itās confusing now having split releases (and the older 0.9.2 doesnāt work with fs.to liveries, even the latest official ones from FSS); however, for me 0.9.5 rev2 is the first usable version with decent fps and I havenāt had any major issues yet. Iām cautiously hopeful but odd how long it took to fix such a serious perf. issue. I think they could have avoided a lot of negative initial reviews if theyād waited and started with this version.

Just completed 800 hours, finally! The last flight was from KPSC (Tri-Cities) to KSAN (San Diego, CA) in the FlightSim Studio Embraer 175, version 0.9.2. Noticed that the taxi ribbon option was on, but no taxi ribbon arrows were displayed.
Version 0.9.6 0f the Flightsim Studio Embraer 175 has been released as the Experimental Version. Downloaded it yesterday and made a flight from KPDX to KSFO. This version seems stable, other than no glide slope capture on runway 19L at KSFO. On the discord site some have been reporting engine failure issues but I did not have this problem. The stuttering problem appears to have been resolved.
Is this plane VR compatible?
yes, very nice cockpit in vr with hpg2

I just bought the E175 and canāt get the throttle calibration to work. I am using the stable version,not the experimental. I have a Bravo throttle and a TCA Airbus. Nether one works correctly with reverse thrust selected. When the throttle is at idle, max reverse happens.
Found the problem! My sensitivity setting on the throttles were not linear. Now it works fine!

Greetings,
can anybody tell me if there is the possibility to import a SimBrief flight plan into the MCDU and into the pad, like it is, say, for the FBW A320?
Thank you in advance.
Just watched through most of this. Worth a watch. (90min full flight appraisal)
NG Driver - Flight Sim Studios Embraer 175 Three Months Later - what improved, if anything?
