FlightSim Studio Embraer E-Jets

Unpopular opinion: I really like this latest version.

v0.10.50. Tested with E190. I just completed a full IFR flight (EGPF → EHAM) with simbrief and full FMC setup all went well. I’m not seeing any oscillations during climb. The FMS or A/T issue I observed with the previous version of AP not auto switching from TO phase to FLCH phase at 1000ft is fixed & working correctly now. VNAV working great on ascent. Rock solid climb at 250kts <10,000ft, then 285kts below FL290 and 0.72Mach above FL290. VNAV decent worked very well. AP auto switched to capture ILS 18R into EHAM and worked flawlessly.

The usual visual bugs with V/S wheel being inverted and brightness switch on FMC animation wrong are still there (would be good if they actually fixed these before v1.0 releases), but overall AP/FMC wise I’m impressed with the latest version so far. It’s definitely a release candidate now.

I’ve being flying the XCrafts E190 on XP12 recently and the FSS one is certainly on par with it now as far as I am concerned. I really enjoyed this E190 flight for the first time since they started work on the new VNAV & AP.

New (to me): new feature to authenticate Navigraph in the FMS under
NAV → DATALINK → NAVIGRAPH

I’m not sure what this does as I still have to update nav data in the EFB (Settings->Navdata)

VNAV ascent (no oscillations), flawless

VNAV descent, flawless

Approach EHAM ILS 18R, flawless

Great to hear. Would be time to pull it out of the hangar but I’m still enjoying the A220! This bird might get sequenced behind the upcoming B757 if that is good on release. Oh, but then we have the B787 coming.

A LOT of good aircraft and NOT enough time.

So…it comes to the question why some are experiencing that heavy oscillations while others don’t?

Time to ask the question what variant (I am only using E190) and are you all setting loads, performance criteria and CG up correctly before departing? (I’m sure you are, but worth checking).

EDIT: only other thing I can think of is you have some mods that conflict with the E-Jets? MAybe something like the GTN750? Don’t know, just guessing, but maybe try disabling any mods.

There are definitely some bugs still present. This morning it’s the turn of the terrain map overlay not working (wrong scale, too zoomed in), the map zoom dial 2x zoom out 1x zoom in issue. Silly stuff really (including the previously mentioned v/s dial being inverted, and brightness switch animation on FMC), but it would be good to see it all fixed, but they’ve been like this forever.

I just completed the reverse flight E190 EHAM to EGPF into some really cruddy weather (could have done with functioning weather radar too). TO/VNAV/LNAV working as expected on whole flight. ILS 05 picked up automatically without issue into EGPF in heavy conditions.

All in all very happy. Enjoyable to fly now. There are just these silly small longstanding issues that need fixing.

So, I took out the 175 for a test and, surprisingly, it did go smoothly. There was still some buoyancy, but it was in the range of 500ft/min, not 20000. Further testing is clearly needed on my end to figure out why did the 195 go crazy and this one, on the same route and similar scenario, did not

Sorry if this has been answered previously, but on my Takeoff Init page there is nothing for the RWY Condition and it won’t allow me to change it. When I click the LSK button for that field it does nothing. I’m running 10.50 stable. I do have the Runway condition set in the EFB Departure Runway section - and assuming that should be brought over - pretty much everything else is. Any ideas?

I might be overthinking, but this reminded me that the 190/195 were never made available for Xbox MP, while the 170/175 and Freighter are there. Still on version 0.9, but they’re there at least.
Maybe there are differences between the in-sim variants that account for the 190/195, but not the 170/175, having a particular bug?

The time of reckoning is upon us

Hi, everyone -
It’s been 3 years and 8 months since we released the very first version of the E-Jets, v0.9.0. Since then, we’ve released 39 full updates, as well as produced hundreds of patches, experimental versions, community-involved testing releases, and thousands of internal beta builds. We’ve worked through well over 10,000 individual tracked bugs, added hundreds of new features. All that has added up to one, final, simple number: 1.0.

FSS E-Jets v1.0.0 Is Here

Over the past few years of Early Access, we’ve enabled thousands of you to fly the same E-Jets so many of us are familiar with traveling on, working with, or flying, sooner than we otherwise would have if we had fully completed the aircraft to begin with. We’re proud to finally be able to deliver the product you were all promised - with every feature we planned from the start, plus a few more we added along the way.

Some Thanks
Most importantly: the largest thanks must go our to all of you. Admittedly, it’s taken far longer for us to get from that first early release to this first full one - but we cannot express how thankful we are for all of you who took the risk and supported us through to today. Thank you. We truly could not have done it without you.
Thanks, as well, to all of our partners in development: X-Crafts, with original modeling and artwork. Aerosoft and Contrail with installers, and the flexibility to handle our various versions. The community members who contributed texture, sound, and other material which helped shape the E-Jets as they are today. Our pilot and maintenance team, contributing countless pieces of reference material. And everyone who had a hand in developing the E-Jets we know and love today.

What’s new?
We’ve added a few smaller things, but this update is primarily stability improvements. Hoppie CPDLC was also added.

How do I install?
For everyone who already has the E-Jets, please perform a full and complete fresh installation by removing your WASM folder. FS2020 locations are available through the FSS Documentation Hub. FS2024 location is: (game install directory)\LocalState\WASM\(MSFS 2020 folder)

What’s next?
As we’ve stated before, our immediate next priority is fixing any issues which immediately pop up with v1.0.0. Longer term, we will continue work on the MSFS 2024-native version of the E-Jets (which will be a free update for all customers), in addition to our other projects. Development for FS2020 will end at this time.

For new customers:
The price of the E-Jets has increased. You can purchase via any of our existing storefronts and install via the Contrail App or Aerosoft One. We do not suggest purchasing through the Marketplace, as this will come with prolonged update delays and reduced flexibility. If you purchase via the Marketplace, you will not be able to install using one of our standard installers, and you will not get access to the FS2024 Experimental version. If at all possible, please purchase through one of our third-party partner stores.

And that’s a wrap! Thank you again for your support these past years. We hope to be able to bring you more new and high-quality products for years to come.
Tailwinds, blue skies, and happy flying!

Thanks,

MP update? Next yeatr? :rofl::thinking::person_facepalming:

Carson from the team claims the 1.0 has been submitted to MS already (at least for PC), so ideally within 24h

Does anyone know how to refuel the aircraft properly? If I refuel it using GSX, it always puts too little fuel in (2 tons less) and there’s a fuel imbalance.

I am not so sure about that…

I just installed the final version (plus the emergency patch) and now I have completely pink (squared) ejet planes, inside and out.

Tried everything, removing wasm reinstalling etc. etc. (MSFS 2020 STEAM)… Must have restarted MSFS about 15 times after trying all kinds of fix.

Nothing but the old pink squares.

I have never seen this on the ejets since I first bought the pre-release years ago.

2 hours of troubleshooting - time wasted. Grrrr.

V1 took her for a spin and liked it. He flew the real E-Jet early in his career…

Still seeing these unfortunately. Just trying to load in simbrief and failing. I had cleared my wasm and updated nav data after installing v1.0.0. Off to try again, sigh.

EDIT: 2 wasm crashes in a row now. Crashed while paging through perf data.

EDIT: 3rd flight reload with old wasm folder removed again, and it’s working again without a wasm crash.

EDIT: got a change in departure runways from BATC, entered new runway and sid in, recalulated performance in EFB. In MCDU hit PERF INIT ‘SEND REQST’ and wasm crash.:roll_eyes:

I’m done for now. (90 mins in and 0 flights).

YMMV

Are you 100% sure you have the 2020 version installed, and not the 2024? Because that just feels like the game being unable to load textures, which would be the case with the wrong model

Thank you. I will double check.

Excited to try out v1.0 to see how the product has improved since the last time I flew them!

I’ve updated the title of this thread, which previously just mentioned the 175, to read “E-Jets” instead! :slight_smile:
