Embraer Made Landings Too Easy | New Feature Preview

[@ThresholdProductionsCanada]

Great work! As an E-Jet (70/75/90/95) rated pilot myself, I have really enjoyed the improvements from the previous generation, and I’m glad I bought the new version! This is definitely something I noticed was missing, and it’s really awesome to see it is now implemented!

[@xcrafts_development]

That is great to know! I'd love more of the pilot community to find out about our E-Jets and what they are capable of. Its surprising how few pilots actually use flight sims like X-Plane!

[@Reacta-dev]

This is awesome! Thank you guys, can wait to test these out!

[@xcrafts_development]

You can already try it out right now thorugh our Open Bera Program! www.xcrafts.com/open-beta 🚀

[@tepman_123]

Oh boy oh boy... Really can't wait to test these new features out. Excited!

Amazing 👏🏼

[@glennd38]

Keep going guys ! Yours aircrafts are amazing !

[@xcrafts_development]

Thank you so much! It means a lot!

[@golfmc78]

I very much enjoyed your previous tutorial video. Perhaps you could do another one. Thanks

[@xcrafts_development]

I'm planning to do more! Which systems would you like me to cover?

[@golfmc78]

@@xcrafts_development things descent approach landing. The last tutorial video was great. But a new one with the updated systems

[@WendaFromPhase2]

Awesome video!

[@xcrafts_development]

Glad you enjoyed it, I put a lot of effort into it!

[@AlpineWarren]

Looking great!

[@xcrafts_development]

Thank you! Cheers!

X-Crafts - your team isn't the best developer for X-Plane, you're one of the best. Please consider bringing your work to MSFS - they/we need you!

[@EverydayNormalGeek]

Steep approaches AND ILS Auto Tune! Awesome work as always, can't wait for it to be released out of beta.

[@xcrafts_development]

And FMS Speed! And over 150 other fixes and improvements! 😁🤘🏾

[@Luke173]

this is an awesome addition!

[@xcrafts_development]

Thanks a lot Luke! 🙏🏽

[@medwaystudios]

On the Demo flight page where it says "This essentially means that to fly an ILS approach, you only need to enter your flight plan and then press one button. In the earlier versions, all those things had to be done manually, but no more!" it should mention it's the APP button there just to make it more clear.

[@xcrafts_development]

Thanks, fixed!

[@AndreM63]

Great video to explain this new feature. Do you make a video for the other new features?

[@xcrafts_development]

Yes I'm planning to make them!

[@YAboss1243]

Any chance for long strobes with the extended winglets?

[@xcrafts_development]

It's planned, hopefully for the next version

[@basic_chrisyt9742]

Hello, I have a question. Because of the new update of X-Plane 12, SAM didn’t work anymore. So, unfortunately, I do not have any ground services like, stairs or catering truck for the E-Jet familiy. Do you have any Addons or a planed update for the E-Jet familiy where ground services will be included?

[@xcrafts_development]

Hi, I can recommend this free plugin: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/64598-simple-ground-service-based-on-snle/

[@matthewf5899]

Ok, that's awesome!

[@wingsleveladventures]

Will we be getting any button pressing animations? JW

[@xcrafts_development]

Definitely at some point! Just not exactly sure when, as right now I'd say we still have many other priorities connected to the Autopilot, FMS, VNAV and other crucial systems

[@wingsleveladventures]

@@xcrafts_development Thanks for the update!

[@floclt3788]

thank you for this new feature ! Are we still going to have a lineage 1000 ?

[@Reacta-dev]

I sure hope so, considering I bought the package as it was advertising the Lineage 1000 in the future.

[@xcrafts_development]

Absolutely! I am truly sorry for taking so long, I am the only one who can finish he model of the Lineage, but I also have to run the whole X-Crafts team at the same time, so I often have to prioritize things, although believe me, modelling, texturing and animating is my favorite part of the process! Once v1.1.0, I'll focus 80% on the Lineage, which is already quite advanced stages of development.

[@floclt3788]

@@xcrafts_development Don't apologize! On the contrary, I'm glad you took the time to give me so much information. Thanks a lot for all your work.

[@golfmc78]

Does the ejet have autoland?

[@xcrafts_development]

It will land on its own if you dont disengage the AP, but its not the full Embraer autoland implementation. But many airlines actually dont have autoland since it requires additional harware on board, or a special certification

[@cmmiskovic]

When I press the APP button, it only arms the localizer and not the glide slope as well. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

[@xcrafts_development]

It seems you're doing everything right, you should only press the APP button. If you participated in the open beta, it's possible that you have an obsolete plugin that had to be deleted manually between RC3 and RC4. SOLUTION: Please go into the aircraft plugin folder, and verify whether you see ejets-systems. If you do, delete that folder. That plugin was replaced with the "ils-autotune". If you have both present, that is likely the issue. If this doesn't help, please come talk to us in our Tech Support forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/280194-e-jets-family-tech-support/

[@captainbravowow]

Hey, for my aircraft, the FMC is honeywell instead of the other one. how do i change this

[@xcrafts_development]

The FMS in this video is the Honeywell. What aircraft arr you using, the freeware or payware E-Jets? What version of the aircraft do you have?

[@captainbravowow]

@@xcrafts_development freeware e175

[@captainbravowow]

@@xcrafts_development and i mean like authentic vs the other oen

[@xcrafts_development]

The authentic FMS is the Honeywell. We just call it Authentic. There is only one FMS. If you have the payware E-Jets that were released after May 2023, then you will have the same FMS as in this video.

[@captainbravowow]

@@xcrafts_development i swear on my mothers life i have an xcrafts e175 with an fmc that is NOT the one in your video

[@sergiogonzales6452]

Hello, I have been wanting to buy this beautiful aircraft for a while now, but I have not done so because I was waiting for the VNAV to work. I am interested in the Embraer 175. Are the VNAV climb and descent points already working? Best regards and thank you very much.

[@xcrafts_development]

Hi there! Yes VNAV works very well, with altitude restrictions in SIDs and STARs and many other features. You can watch the Demo Flight tutorial video on our channel, where I demonstrate a full LNAV and VNAV flight 🛫🛬

[@tilmanrichter6600]

Hello, quick (maybe stupid) question: is this a thing on real Embraer aircraft or is this something created to make our life easier. Sorry for the question but I am really new to Embraers.

[@xcrafts_development]

Not a stupid question at all! This is exactly how it works on the (newer) real E-Jets 😊 Some use a slightly older software version of the avionics, called Load 25. But we created the newer avionics called Load 27 which make pilot's lives easier in real life, and now also in X-Plane!

[@tilmanrichter6600]

@@xcrafts_development Thank you for your quick answer. I am pretty close to step into the E Jet world and buy one of your products as I love your commitment towards XP and the flight sim comunity.

[@xcrafts_development]

@@tilmanrichter6600 Thanks so much! That really means a lot. No rush, the E-Jets will be here whenever you're ready 🙂 Maybe wait until v1.1.0 is out officially through the store, this is planned for early September.

[@Nemura12]

Sadly we don't have it for mfs 2020/2024 Note: I know, know, X-plane is better in many way 😂

[@looseparts]

Another advantage of flying an E-Jet over one of the larger Boeing or Airbus planes is you can replicate shorter, real-life flights without spending hours and hours in the air. (not to mention these XCraft E-Jets are fantastically built, superior offerings : -)
