E-Jets Family by X-Crafts | DEMO FLIGHT PART 2: FMS Speed, ILS Autotune and More

[@interestinggameraltlol9245]

I like this dev team. Actively works on projects (and supports) generous to freeware market, and transparent on development. Nice

[@xcrafts_development]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@azegulstarrider9675]

These tutorials are one of the reasons that I bought the X-Crafts E-Jet. It shows a strong commitment to your product. Plus your continuous improvements over the years has given me faith in your product.

[@xcrafts_development]

Thank you! I really do spend a crazy amount of time creating these tutorials, so it is really good knowing that you value this effort! Thank you for your support!

[@azegulstarrider9675]

@@xcrafts_development I'm about to get back to flying the E190 after some time off for surgery. Your latest update has been timely in helping me get back up to speed as a refresher. 👍

[@GG-gr1kb]

I own and love flying this family of E-Jets. I'd like to take this opportunity to say that the asking price is amply justified by the quality of the product and the support, of which this video is a part. THANK YOU Marko.😀👍

[@xcrafts_development]

THANK YOU!! It means a lot

[@matthewf5899]

I seriously love the E-Jets and these tutorials. I very much appreciate the support you give the community for your products. Wonderful job and keep them coming!

[@xcrafts_development]

Thanks so much, Matthew! I seriously appreciate that! 🙏🏽

[@fabricen8773]

Thank you very much XCrafts for taking time to make this tutorial, it was really interesting and I learn a lot of things.

[@xcrafts_development]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@deskboundaviator7377]

Marko, You're the best! Terrific tutotial. I have been flying v1.1.0 the old fashioned way and after a few false starts it is all working very well now. And after watching this video I am eager to use FMS speed control and let the airplane fix all my mistakes. Thank you so much for your work here. MUCH appreciated. -SH

[@xcrafts_development]

Always a pleasure!

[@BrooksIngersoll]

As usual a great tutorial. It was very easy to follow and your aircraft development has come a long way! I am loving this plane more and more every time I fly. Thank You.

[@Oaknest]

Very impressed with what you've done with your e-jets as well as your great tutorials!

[@xcrafts_development]

Thank you!

[@Ron-zr6se]

I will have to try this feature since I have always set my speeds manually. The level of automation on the E-Jets is outstanding. The E-Jets were always quite easy to fly even while doing things manually but this takes things to an all new level. Wonderful tutorial Marko, thank you.

[@JeffEngle_rvbuiltfortwo]

Well done tutorial Marco. Price matched the quality of the product in my mind. Hand flying the Ejets are a dream, btw. Fun planes to fly with the flexibility to fly the way you want (all manual including flight plan entry and manual speeds) to almost fully touchless 🧑🏻‍✈️

[@xcrafts_development]

Thank you Jeff! See you back in Beta Testing 😁

[@AlpineWarren]

Awesome overview Marko!

[@xcrafts_development]

Thank you!

[@snagardev]

Great tutorial. I wonder if you will make a tutorial explaining how to land manually the plane, with minimal automation or due to ATC directive changes, like "go around". Thanks.

[@agoess]

Awesome!!!!! Thanks.

[@angeloguzman1426]

Hi, great tutorial. You mentioned your FMS Speed Table you have on your website, but I could not find it. Would you please provide me with a link to access that info. Thanks.

[@xcrafts_development]

Hi! It's the second link in the description 😊

[@angeloguzman1426]

Thanks, I was looking for a hyper-link, did not see it. BTW, I trying to build an X-Pad configuration file for the E190, can you tell me where I can find a list for the Commands and Datarefs. I can't find the files in the X Plane xCrafts folder.

[@xcrafts_development]

No worries! You can find it here www.xcrafts.com/ejets-family/hardware @angeloguzman1426

[@angeloguzman1426]

Thanks. I saw these Datarefs in your manual, but I was hoping to get a complete list of the Datarefs and Commands list o I could create a complex Stream Deck profile. I realize there must be hundreds of Datarefs and Commands. If not possible, that's ok, I'll try to find via the X-Keypad software.

[@terrygale4559]

Very useful. How about an RNP tutorial, I can't find any on KZbin.

[@xcrafts_development]

Making these tutorials is very time-consuming, so I won't be able to make any new ones any time soon, as I now need to dedicate my time towards actually finishing up the Lineage 1000. But here are our RNAV instructions: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/295611-e-jets-family-how-to-fly-rnav-approaches/

[@looseparts]

Nice FF to HyperSpace at 19:40 : -)

[@haroldhoeg]

Another great tutorial. Thank you! Question: how do you get the little pop-up upon landing that rates the flare, FPM?

[@elliothwang6216]

I don't use the fms speed feature as I like to do everything manually but this is a definitely something I'm may use down the line.

[@malyjoke_sim]

awesome plane

[@nathans1599]

Amazing tutorial as always! But I have an issue. When I arm the approach button, the PFD displays ROLL FPA, and not LOC GS. Is there a reason for this, or did I just not have something set right? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Anyways great vid and keep it up man! 👍👍

[@77flyer]

great video, question; is there a profile for the honeycomb bravo and alpha buttons to work on this aircraft? im not able to find one

[@xcrafts_development]

We don't have official profiles, but we have a guide on setting up any hardware here: www.xcrafts.com/ejets-family/hardware

[@jakobeng1303]

interesting tutorial but nobody would want to fly the whole RNAV transition at LOWW (for example). It would have been nice to show to navigate devating from VNAV (with possible rejoins later) in your flight

[@AllThingsAviation]

how to do a vectored take off? do i arm heading mode before take off?

[@xcrafts_development]

Before takeoff, press TOGA as usual but after that press the NAV button, to disarm LNAV. You will see that the while LNAV will disappear on the PFD. This means that at 1200ft, you will no longer get the automatic switch to LNAV and VNAV. Instead, when you takeoff, your vertical mode will go to FPA and TRACK will stay the lateral AP mode until you change it. TRACK essentially acts as HDG and keeps the track of the runway. After takeoff, at 1200ft engage HDG manually. To recap: 1. On the ground press TOGA 2. still on the ground press NAV 3. After 1200ft, press HDG

[@spiceymango]

I noticed that when I enter a direct to a way point the fms gets confused and cannot calculate the new track. Any ideas why?

[@xcrafts_development]

That's probably because you entered the DIRECT TO into the PINK second line. Direct to needs to always be entered into the First Yellow line. Please see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5zQhqulh52cbJY We're currently working on implementing a Direct to also from the second line, because too many users are used to that from other aircraft. That will be available in v1.1.1. Cheers!

[@spiceymango]

@xcrafts_development thanks for the info. There's always more to learn!

[@aviator_ren]

What makes this E-JET different than FSS E-JET?

[@xcrafts_development]

FSS are still working on the MSFS version, which is still in Early Access, so several crucial systems are missing. To my knowledge, most notably a custom FMS and VNAV.

[@superedilaviation7835]

Would there be any possibility for this ERJ product to reach FS2024?

[@ad-astra-m2t]

How did you load the flight plan?

[@xcrafts_development]

You need to watch part 1 of the demo flight: www.xcrafts.com/ejets-family/demo-flight#ejets-family-demo-flight/video

[@ad-astra-m2t]

@ my LNAV and VNAV doesn’t work and I followed everything you did on the video. I am using the latest version.

[@xcrafts_development]

@@ad-astra-m2t Did you activate the flight plan after entering it? Did you press TOGA before your flight? I suggest that you follow our Cheatsheet to make sure you don't miss anything crucial. www.xcrafts.com/ejets-cheat-sheet I'm not able to help you here I'm afraid, if you need more help, please come to our Tech support, and follow these instructions so that we can help you: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/280194-e-jets-family-tech-support/ 1.

[@michaelorsini9695]

Which E Jet is this??? 170/190???

[@xcrafts_development]

All the tutorials you commented on apply to all the E-Jets by X-Crafts: E170, E175, E190, E195 and soon also the Lineage 1000

[@williamgreen7048]

Can anyone tell me how rough these aircraft are on frame rates? I'd love to purchase the E-Jets but with an RTX2070 graphics card I want to make sure my system can handle it. Rioght now I get about 30fps with most aircraft I have.

[@Olli-nk1rk]

Not rough

[@xcrafts_development]

They were optimized as much a possible, but the best way to find out is to download the free preview and test it on your system 😊 you might get ~10% worse framerate with the full version. www.xcrafts.com/free-preview

[@williamgreen7048]

@@xcrafts_development I'll give that a shot, thanks!

[@EverydayNormalGeek]

Carrots flying at the speed of light, this tutorial cannot become more "X-Crafts". Could you also make a video showing us how to fly RNAV or other non-precision approaches in the new version?

[@xcrafts_development]

Hahah finally someone commented on it! 😅 Honestly right now I'll need to spend some time finishing the Lineage 1000! But here's how to fly RNAV approaches: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/295611-e-jets-family-how-to-fly-rnav-approaches-with-v110/
