They are probably going to use it on the grave they’re digging for themselves.

Thanks for the heads up! I know you own pretty much every plane known to man lol.

This has just got to stop. Fine dont put out a study level plane, that’s fine, but what a dev does put out they should put out well. This is horrific by the sounds of it!
It makes me sick TBH. none of this is good for the hobby or the platform.

It won’t stop. Unfortunately, no one is gonna stop anyone from being Virtualcol, Bredok3D, CaptainSim, and MScenery. That’s the reality.

Luckily, there’s another developer making the Embraers, I believe it was NextGen Simulations that made the Bandeirante.
That wasn’t an exceptionally good aircraft, but from what you’re saying and showing here, it certainly trust them much more.
I gotta say tho, I’m pretty amazed that virtualcol made the in-sim checklist considering how much other developers are resisting that. At least they get some props for that.

Hi
Like others, I too value credible, honest and forthright evaluations that bring to light issues such as this. I usually wait several days after a release to view others’ comments and weigh up whether a product has merit or not. This one is pretty clear to me! Thanks for all those comments.
A prune is a prune, but tbh I couldn’t give a flying fig what the passenger seats look like - I’m too busy in the cockpit to look at that stuff. I’m a virtual pilot, not a steward (or passenger).
If the rest of the model was okay, but the pax seats looked bad - it wouldn’t put me off.

Yeah, I honestly don’t understand why some focus so much on the cabin. Most devs will have a low-poly version to look decent from outside instead of the parallax shaders (that look ugly even from outside).
The problem here is everything else, and it breaks my heart because I really, really wish I could have some good E-Jets right now.
Seeing my beloved Fuji Dreams livery on this low-quality model makes me want to cry. 
I normally shake my head at people that say “looks like FSX” (normally it really isn’t true and not even close) but Virtualcol managed to actually make their aircraft look like they’re from FSX. I didn’t think it was possible.

I’m with you about the cabin - tbh I’m one of those that really doesn’t need one. I think this cabin specifically attracted attention not because of its low quality, but because it looks like a graveyard

You are my hero man!!
Totally agree. Thanks a lot for your test and for to advise 
the community.
Well then count me in on those three

Here one more for the non buyer list.
At this time I’m thinking to do a flightsim Summer break. Too much time seated.
Looks like another frankenbird that’s not worthy of going in my database. But thanks for your research on these things, I don’t know how you do it!
So I endured the pain and temporarily disabled Working Title CJ4 to give it a fair try in one complete flight. Sure, the flight plan worked without WT CJ4. But it uncovered SO many issues with the autopilot, I don’t know where to start.
-
The set altitude has a habit of resetting itself to the previous value. You are climbing to 6,000 from 3,000, then it resets itself back to 3,000 and stops climbing. You sometimes have to repeat the process 3-4 times in order for it to climb all the way to target.
-
Altitude hold and climb don’t work well on turns.
-
Autothrottle speed dial is missing tooltip indicators.
-
FLC mode sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. VS works better but it also sometimes disengages.
-
Don’t even think about engaging autopilot until at safe altitude. It begins with a dive even in FLC mode then eventually straightens and begins the climb.
In other words, even if this thing was compatible with WT CJ4 and didn’t look so awful, it also flies horribly and the autopilot is so unpredictable, it’s just easier to hand fly it unless you are in cruise. Forget ILS approaches.

Yeah, I don’t care about the passenger cabin. But I do care about everything else. I also have some hope that NextGen may do a better job. Their Bandeirante is… passable, and even pretty good in some areas, but lacking in others and they aren’t in a hurry to fix issues.

Well, luckily there’s also a freeware version in the works by Ouroboros. We’ll see which one will be the most usable in the end, but I have a strong feeling it won’t be VirtualCol’s lol.

Coming from VirtualCol, the quality was expected, unfortunately.

At this point I think the freeware one has very strong potential to be better than this disaster. Cause this product CLEARLY shows Virtualcol take no pride in their work. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this aircraft. Either fly the default CJ4 and Longitude, or fly the CRJ. All of those offer an experience way beyond this cluster.

i paid for it and the external model is rather nice. not perfect.. i fuelled these for a living. But if you only fly in vr like i do then stick to the a320. it doesn’t cater for VR and i’m disappointed some planes like this do not cater for VR also.. A320 is perfect for VR. plus… There is no documentation for this. So if you just want a E170 to play with and fly yeah great it flies nice. But looks on the inside. nope.
