Hello everyone! Having watched the descent back, it seems the dive towards the ground was at least somewhat pilot-induced. Selecting FLCH, bumped up the Mach number from .75 to .78 (presumably the aircraft's calculated descent speed was M.78). This caused the aircraft to chase the new Mach number in the descent. Difficult to say whether or not the E175 would attempt to capture the speed that aggressively in reality, but that does at least account for the behaviour to some degree. Cheers! : )

We're regretting our purchase of the E Jet from Aerosoft One and after about an hour of what turned out to be a frustrating experience overall this surprisingly disapointing Aircraft was uninstalled from our PC. There's very obviously a great deal of work to be done before this Aircraft can be released to the market in an 'acceptable state'. We're quite amazed that Aerosoft is partly responsible for giving this Company the means to release their unfinished product prematurely through it's Marketing Platform.

Excellent review. I typically have no problems with EA software, however, before I purchase I like to see the dev go through a few patch cycles to ensure they're staying focused on the product.

Definitely considering getting this. I've flown this exact route on this plane in this livery so it'd be cool to recreate it.

This aircraft goes thru a Electrical PBIT "Flight Control test" after APU or GPU start up in real life. It takes 2 to 3 minutes for it to complete. You will also need to do the Hydro PBIT. Leave Hydraulic 3B pump on auto. Turn pumps 3A, 1 and 2 to on. It takes a minute for it to complete (Or turn on the engines). I wish they show it..

Thanks for a nother nice video. Very level headed and really you are being very nice about it. I will say i have honestly not watched the whole thing but stepped through as i have seen too much of this ..thing.. already, but you make good points. The ironic point there is though that during the closing scene, the camera is pointed at what looks like a 736, a plane at 5 usd less, and arguably the best or second best plane in the sim atm. Makes this thing even harder to swallow. I'm just going to wait and see what discount JF is going to do on the Avro RJ for 146 owners, as it seems that is likely going to be the first modern(ized) regional jet that will end up in my hangar.

It was actually your video that set me off about the marketing: Of course we’re all used to the usual hyperbole at this point and when I see that sort of marketing on some of the more ropey addons, I’ve generally tended to just chuckle and roll my eyes a little, but actually your point was a very valid one; in many cases, it’s often outright false advertising and there’s no reason why the community should be subjected to it.

This is I believe the second try a community developer has made at an Embraer regional airliner for MSFS. This one seems to be better than the one released in the early days of the sim. Still, perhaps it would have been better to have produced something Embraer could give its stamp of approval to on release if not offering the initial release as a steeply discounted early release version. It might be helpful to the developers to keep in mind these products will be quickly put aside if they perform poorly in comparison to more developed products. I myself have developed scenery to use privately in the sim which proved too big a hit on performance, so I found I could not run it until I’d worked all of the wrinkles out.

Exactly Kirt: With the product releasing in such a state, I really think FSS should have been offering a much steeper discount (selling closer to the $20 mark, would probably have been about right). I wouldn’t pretend that developing an addon vs creating a video are the same thing, but I couldn’t imagine knowingly releasing a video with major issues, so I’m not really sure why a dev would want to release a product way before it’s ready; I can live with the lack of systems fidelity etc, but the FPS issues made the product nearly unusable for me.

Hi Pythos, I think the idea is that as the user can then type into the MCDU via the keyboard, it prevents one from inadvertently putting in any aircraft commands at the same time. It’s a reasonable idea in theory, but it would be great if it could somehow be limited to key presses and not include the primary flight controls. Certainly, the setting needs some tweaking haha, or better yet, perhaps it could be made a user option (if FSS haven’t done so already). The stutters were pretty atrocious (the worst I have seen in MSFS actually). I gather work has been done to improve the E175’s FPS, but I haven’t tried the addon since I recorded this video. I run the sim and record at 1080p, yes (the sim can be run in 4K). The machine I was using for the video was “mid range”, but I didn’t see this sort of performance with any other addon.

Heating the windshield not only prevents any ice forming etc, but also helps increase the impact strength of the glass (heating the glass makes it less brittle).

Rome wasn’t built in a day and whilst I too have been frustrated with progress on a number of occasions, I’ve never had a more stable / enjoyable civilian sim experience at this point (I do realise this has not been the case for everyone though). I think the 10 year commitment was more of a minimum timeframe (to help convince people to buy into the sim), rather than any sort of end goal of Microsoft’s. The sim seems to be making a lot of money at the moment; so long as that continues, I’m sure MSFS will continue to be supported. I would have liked to have seen a bit more progress 3 years in, but so long as things keep moving in a positive direction, I shall continue to support the platform myself (and hey, at least we aren’t having to pay for an entirely “new” sim every two years, as we did before). The FSS E175 does indeed seem to be a little microcosm of the sim’s broader issues, but hopefully both devs will continue to plug away. Cheers again : )

APU bleed air is supplied to the packs, reducing the bleed demand from the engines and thus providing more available thrust for the takeoff.” Leaving the APU running during the takeoff isn’t normal on the aircraft I have flown (though it is done occasionally); the checklist I was using for the E175 seemed to suggest that this was a normal SOP (someone else mentioned the other day, that the same is pretty standard practice on the BAE 146, so perhaps underpowered regional jets ordinarily leave the APU on for the takeoff).

What are your sim settings?

@IntotheBlueSimulations

Жыл бұрын

Hi Daniel, My sim settings are basically as such: - “High End” preset - Pre-Cache = Ultra - Terrain and Object visibility sliders set at 125% (sorry, I forget the actual names of them) - Motion Blur = Off - Glass Cockpit Refresh = Medium - AI Traffic = Off - VSync = On / 60fps That gives a nice balance between graphics and performance. I only run at 1080p, hence the decent FPS. The things I’ve turned off / down are known to be famerate hogs. I hope that helps a little! All the best : )

Indeed Roland. It was actually 737NG Driver’s comments that made me give it some thought. We’re so used to that sort of marketing in the flight simming world, to the point where I usually just roll my eyes and give a slight chuckle when I see it (especially from certain developers). It shouldn’t be acceptable though and a lot of it is manipulative, if not outright false advertising. “Tested by real world pilots”, would imply that a type rated pilot has tested the addon, but of course in reality, it could well be a C152 pilot testing the flight model of an SR-71 haha. I don’t expect every addon to be perfect (I’m often banging on about how I quite enjoy Carenado’s output personally), but I think we’d all appreciate a little bit more honesty from our devs. Cheers sir! : )

Thanks as always, your unbiased perspective and professional approach is hugely valuable to me, and i am sure the community at large. Big pass for me for me on this one though and oof that framerate, anything worse then the Fenix a320 is just not acceptable at this point, and considering the simulation going on with the Fenix its amazing it runs so well. cheers!

Fully agree on 3rd party addons and their marketing. It became standard in MSFS that majority of addons are advertised as state of the art renderition, released half baked, with known major bugs, which "will be fixed in next patch" few weeks later and blaming users for the errors. That makes reviewers like ITBS more and more important.

Hi NISZ10, I agree with you on both counts; it’s nice to see a new dev arrive on the scene in MSFS and the E175 does have potential. I think most of the negativity stems from the fact that FSS really misjudged their marketing campaign ahead of the products release: they rather promised the world with their promotional material and only really gave an honest insight into the product, once people started to question how accurate the promotional material actually was. Some of the criticism I think has been fair, some not; the product certainly has its issues and for me, at the very least I think the FPS issues should have been addressed ahead of launch. I certainly hope that FSS continue to work on the E175 though and wish them every success in that regard! All the best : )

I have searched high a low but no one else seem to have this issue. I have looked at KZread tutorials on this aircraft and the steering tiller is never mentioned. Everyone seems to steer using the rudder. Hence my comment. It was out of frustration.

I think the visual model of the addon is pretty great already though, so don’t see this as a huge issue either way - there’s certainly still a lot of work to be done on the rest of the aircraft mind you.

It really depends on the circumstances. For a developer that has clearly demonstrated (through prior successful early access projects) they they can deliver on their promises, I would tend to agree that it is harsh but in this case, the developer hasn't. Not only that. The developer is getting into a specific area where other developers have already pretty much cornered the market with high detail, nearly complete addons (PMDG 737, Fenix A320, Inibuilds A310, etc). If they want to compete in that space, they need to be able to deliver something that actually gives fans of those other addons something to work with beyond just what essentially amounts to "IOU a working avionics/navigation package that you can already use in other addons".

There is a bad trend towards releasing unfinished 'beta' products to the market. I find this a strange strategy because it opens you to negative reviews. This is the reason I ignore most of the promotional hype, and sponsored reviews, preferring to wait for selected reviews after release. Developers - follow the premier guys, wait for a polished & fully tested product before releasing. If you do not have the skills then market your products to match the reality, clearly identifying limitations, do not over promise.

Exactly Jaja; early access can be ok, but only when the product in question is already a solid offering on release, the developer has a decent track record and the buyer is getting a significant discount on the full price. DCS generally ticks all of these boxes - usually one will get a flyable aircraft on release and its only the systems that will be fleshed out thereafter (and pretty much every DCS module has been worked through to “completion”). A lot of MSFS devs seem to want to “have their cake and eat it”; ie putting out a half-baked product, whilst still charging completed-product sorts of money. To my mind, that’s a practice that ought to be discouraged. All the best!

Hi CV, I can see why some of the smaller devs have to resort to such practices (to bring in some cash flow) but indeed, one has to be very careful with how they go about it. FSS got it all wrong really (in my opinion): the product should have been more polished before release (systems don’t have to be complete, but the FPS issues should have been sorted etc), the devs should have been *much* clearer with their marketing and the product should probably have sold closer to the $20 mark, then I think FSS would have had a much warmer reception overall. As you say, the risk with the sort of move is that you can really end up tarnishing your reputation - even killing off your brand. PMDG et al have their reputation for a reason; if one can, unquestionably the best way to release a product, is as close to fully finished / polished as possible. Cheers, all the best : )

Vnav is absolutely essential in real life operations especially with complex attitude restrictions with many stars nowadays. In my little under 1000 hours of flying the real ejet 990 were with some form of vnav. Using basic fpa or vs modes was extremely rare. That's just not how that plane was meant to be flown. So if you want to it to be as real as it gets then you need it. Otherwise why waste money on payware. Matt as well settle with default models with half baked activities.

Hi Liam, Personally, I’m not too fussed about VNAV (I quite enjoy calculating / flying the profiles manually), but it is a big deal to a lot of people and as ABS alludes to, important if one wants to fly the jet realistically. Quite a few people mistakenly assume that most of my critique is levelled against the devs, it is not; most of the time when I point something out, it is not because XYZ bothers me personally, it is to try and give anyone that might be looking to purchase the addon, as detailed a review as I can (such that they can make an informed purchasing decision). I don’t have too many issues with a dev releasing an alpha build, if that’s what they wish / need to do, but FSS were very misleading with their marketing, right up until the last minute, so I do take some issue with that. Of course prices can’t be compared directly between PMDG and the likes of FSS (I did make that point myself during the video), but the pricing does still need to make sense; if one can buy the Fenix A320 or PMDG 737-600 at this sort of price point, I fail to see how FSS can justify charging the same sort of money (with the product in its current state). It sounds like we probably don’t see eye to eye on the matter and that’s fine of course (the above is not to say that you’re wrong), but I hope I clarified my points a little at least. All the best! : )
