Notes for you and any potential watchers wanting to learn the ERJ: 1:55 - Flight schedule isn't new. It was there in your 3 month review but for whatever reason SimBrief import failed. 2:25 - You do not need to use MSFS W&B with SimBrief import, because SimBrief import will import your Pax and Cargo which you can load at the bottom in real time or instantly. 4:13 - I had reported this to them too. It sits in the on position because IRL you let the FADEC boot for a second (wait to see numbers next to APU on the EICAS), then you turn it on. Not sure why they decided to hardcode it via animation though. 8:24 - The TO/Ldg fuel is your fuel used to taxi out for takeoff and taxi in for landing. I get how it can be confusing though. Not sure why the virtual FO types it in wrong either. 19:31 - Manifest has your elevator trim setting that you set. 24:08 - Correct, that message is erroneous. 24:30 - I also reported this, should roll easily especially at light weights on flat ground. 27:50 - The brake temps were in fact, not good. If you look at the FO MFD, all those yellow boxes are brake temps. There is some bug that's been around a while where brake temps just get insanely hot for no reason. There is a brake temp reset toggle in the EFB. 28:30 - I've reported the very light nature of the takeoff roll as well. It does not try to take itself off IRL. 39:02 - You can just hit PREV to bring up the course needles in blue and set it that way instead of doing all that FMA switching. 42:19 - You want to drop the direct to on 1L LSK, but yea currently limited to the MSFS system that doesn't allow direct to in arrivals and approaches. I think the custom FMS and custom LNAV is far more important than having VNAV right now. It's the biggest sore thumb. 44:35 - It's not that accurate to real world. But it is FLCH so it is just going idle and trying to keep your speed with pitch, so technically within MSFS it is accurate. Once VNAV is in and we have powered descents, it'll perform a lot more like real world I'm sure. 46:47 - LIM will show IRL when your thrust is at idle and speed bugged is slower still, or thrust is max and speed bugged is higher. IRL it doesn't stay on very long. The real plane is kinda dumb too for how advanced it is, and doesn't realize it's fine. 54:18 - We do not use Flap 4 for landing. 4 and 5 are the same configuration, but 4 tells the plane it's taking off. 5 tells it it's landing. We use 1,2, 4 for TO. 5 and Full for landing. So when setting flaps for landing we skip 4 if we are landing 5, and we skip 4 and 5 if setting Full. 55:08 - You did turn off the FD entirely. The FPA will always show. Though that ALT should have cleared as well. 57:25 - I dunno' how much you braked manually but yeah the plane slowed down way too fast for Flap Full and Lo Autobrakes. 57:50 - The ground spoilers auto deploy so I'm sure it's just another bug with the logic. Speedbrakes will stow themselves and show that message (if lever is still out) when speed is under 180, flaps are above 1, or when advancing throttles past 70 degrees TLA. I think now any time they auto deploy, and the lever is in, it's showing at message, which is technically not wrong, but doesn't happen IRL. 1:02:20 - I don't think STEER OFF is properly implemented. The switch behind the yoke doesn't work, nor does pushing the tiller down. 1:02:25 - You shut down the engine people normally shut down for single engine taxi. You can shut down 1 as well if you want, but you'd need to make sure the Hyd Pump 1 goes On instead of Auto because otherwise you lose Outboard Brakes and Nose Wheel Steering. Eng 1 on will power Pump 1 and auto turn on 2. Eng 2 on will power Pump 2 but not auto turn on 1 IIRC. 1:06:46 - I HIGHLY recommend NOT doing this.

@TimAyro

7 ай бұрын

SPDe is accurate. The modes are doing what they are supposed to. FLCH will respect your speed the most, so if it's set for 290 and it needs to pitch that far to get it, it is what it is. IRL we just use VNAV and itll be powered, therefore not as steep. @@franckcagnes6370

Impressive review! Some few corrections, they do have the fuel management system directly through EFB, just at the very bottom of the EFB departure page, you can choose real or instant. And the take off fuel and landing fuel in the MCDU PERF INIT page means the fuel requested for the taxing during T/O and landing, not the FOB.

I’m impressed with the changes, as I have not flown the new version yet. I have enjoyed progressing along with the E-Jet series. 😂

Thanks for doing this!

Good to see they’re making slow progress. When this project was announced, I was excited to fly JetBlue’s E190 routes. Unfortunately, by the time this project is finished JB will have swapped all of its E190’s for beautiful new A220’s.

The E190 is coming in the next 2 weeks.

If you have too much drag in FLCH mode while descending, you can use FPA mode and set it on 3 deg path. It looks much better in this aircraft. So, of course it's handicapped because there is still not VNAV implemented. Thanks for review. I'm waiting for improvement of E-Jets.

This plane has been on my “watch” list for quite awhile. Still havent purchased it though as I was waiting to see how much it would be improved over time. I have the crj 550/700, and honestly havent spent any time in them as I have so many aircraft options. This plane may end up in the hanger though

Excellent my dear, I also have this version and the work that the FSS has been doing seems promising. Tomorrow a new update will come out and they said that the E190/A195 version will come out by the end of the year, which is a shame, because so far we don't have VNAV and there are still a lot of details missing, but we'll follow it, hopefully in more In about 2 years we will have a decent Embraer for the MSFS.

Hello Emmanuel, great video as usual, I have seen RW footage of the EMB175 taxing, they taxi single engine to save on the brakes due to the power of the engines. Just to let you know.

Great review. Not sure why the aircraft always tries to rotate with you, but as a frequent flyer I've never had that problem.

Hey I watch your stuff quite regularly and I do your routes and some time I go see and what route you did in the past but some times its not in title and not even in description. Love your work anyways.

Regarding the 737 why haven’t they added that audio when auto spoilers is engaged? Or does the spoilers self stow away when after reverse thrust you add little thrust to reset system/actuators?

Just picked this plane up. Although Idont know why, as I have way too many aircraft right now to learn. I spend most of my time in the fenix a320, pmdg 737-800, and the new tbm 850. After that I have about 25-30 other planes that rarely see the light of day. Maybe its a sickness 😂

I've just bought it. Mu 1st flight had a bug that the aircraft was constantly bouncing in the cockpit camera, not the outside camera. Now I feel dizzy. Then I've tried to take off in another airport but this time it seem to be fine

I hope you will test the brandnew Embraer E195 that was released yesterday too :)

Thanks for the video! It is still a long way to go for this plane, I am holding off until it is in better shape, at least vnav present. Good that there is progress, hopefully in another 6 months? I would like to ask for one small thing - when you test various EFBs could you check if there is a working onscreen keyboard? This is essential for all us VR simmers 😊.

How did you configure your Honeycomb Bravo to apply reverse thrust? The Aerosoft 1-minute tutorial is a bit weird and requires weird manipulation of the throttle. I could not find any decent configuration tutorials in KZread for the FSS 17x/19x with the HC Bravo or TCA Thrusmaster. Thanks

I honestly didn't, I'm using keyboard keys to apply reverse. Doing that on all planes my planes as I wan as much range of throttle movement as possible on my joystick hardware.

I have the E Jets from FSS on Xbox and not sure we have that cool screen just yet.

A few days ago, I flew the E170 and the ATC asked me to make a different approach than the plan already drawn, I think because the wind had changed a lot. I managed to make the change in the MCDU but the plane I don't know what happened, it activated heading from the LOC and I couldn't activate the FMS heading, the final approach was ILS, and for some reason, no matter how hard I tried to get the GS to connect, it never Let me see this flight...

The XCrafts versions sort of do the opposite (I know both share the same model) where the systems seem to be decently simulated, but the sounds and texturing are quite poor. The XCrafts handling is also a bit questionable considering how much elevator authority it has at low speeds.

Hey Amono, I wanted to first of all thank you for your videos. They’re great and I watch all your videos on commercial jets as they’re so helpful to a 30-year simmer, with no real-world commercial piloting experience. However, a very close friend of mine is an A330 Captain, so I do get plenty of advice (good and bad) from him. I hope you don’t mind but I have a question re this EJET series for MSFS, and it’s the reason I’ve not purchased it: I’ve got poor eyesight so aircraft like the Airbus and Boeing are great due to the heading/Alt/VS/Speed etc all display next to the rotator knob on the glare shield. However, in aircraft like ATR/CRJ/HJET/VJET it’s a struggle but I’ve gotten around the problem by allocating ALT/SPEED/VS/HEADING bug using standard MSFS button assignment to my Thruster Master Stick. The Aerosoft CRJ is a bit of pain because that aircraft won’t take standard MSFS 2020 assignments, so I use pre-created SPADNEXT profiles to a Logitech Multi panel. I therefore watched your EJET video with some excitement last night because there is no SPADNEXT profile available for this aircraft. You talked about being able to adjust Speed/Heading/ALT/VS by clicking on the restrictive ribbon on the PFD, is that correct? And (last question I promise)- do you know if standard MSFS 2020 button assignments work with the EJET?
