X-Plane 11 | SSG EMB-170/190 Cold & Dark, FMS, and Autopilot Tutorial

[@filxplane288]

Best tutorial EVER. Even if I am French, this tutorial is clear, very precise explanations and easy to understand for me. A very big thank you, I will put this aircraft out of the hangar where I left it and try to fly it.

[@woodie40k]

I have been looking for this kind a tutorial for e190 for ages, you saved my day. Very well done, simple and easy to follow. Kudos to you captain

[@gcgrandpa8793]

Great tutorial. It was the first time i get this aircraft without any problems into the sky and bring it safely back to earth. A very big thank you for explainig us this plane with alle the procedures.

[@apachedave]

290/.78 is often used in our airline for descents, no problems. Once you descend through the mach transition, the aircraft by FMS direction will hold (more or less) 290 IAS. I have even seen descents requested by ATC of 310/.79, especially if the weather is good and their are many aircraft to sequence in, and you are "leading the pack".

[@MicahMesser]

Absolutely. However, what I have found with this model is it will very easily overspeed on descent. I am not sure how accurate it is as I have never flown one in real life. Now only that, it will overspeed during cruise if you are not careful.

[@ramair6424]

Nice job! I have flown this aircraft in P3D but just got it for XP11 so I appreciate you showing the differences. Thanks!

[@jankin880]

I don t know why,but it is typical ,there haven ‘ t been many videos on SSG Embraer in X-plane...thank you so much.

[@MicahMesser]

You are welcome.

[@MicahMesser]

If you want the checklist I created for this aircraft to get you flying, I plan to finalize it in the next two weeks and upload it to the Flight Club Discord.

[@zandermathews2469]

How do you change the dtw?

[@noahdeis2003]

Love the tutorials! No one does a better job explaining. If it’s not too much to ask, would still love an SSG e175 tutorial. Thank you for being one of my favorite channels!

[@MicahMesser]

The E-170 is the same as the E-175, the only difference is the actual length of the aircraft (5 feet), weight (1800kgs), and range (50nm). Everything else is the exact same.

[@Jacobdead]

Hey, i just picked up this aircraft. I also just became a patron of yours because of all the helpful videos ive followed from you

[@outside7]

Well done! As detailed as needed and short enough not to get boring.

[@quaildogusa]

How about saving and loading co-route? Where are they stored?

[@yahwada]

If you find out let me know please, I like to use stored routes although it may not be the purist's way :)

[@stephaniefortin3531]

Thanks for the Tutorial just got the e175

[@MicahMesser]

Check the documentation that comes with it. It has Information on that. Know a lot of that is dependent on weight and balance, wind, weather, etc.

[@jusezaba8557]

I don't have SID/STAR :(

[@jsaviation8778]

I don't know if you are still having this issue, but if you look at pages 4-5 of the quick start guide, it explains how to download the navigational data. Hope this helps.

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you very much! I will have to return to this from time to time, I know... 😎

[@MicahMesser]

Glad it helped! I sometimes have to return to tutorials as well if I have been away from the aircraft for a while.

[@aleksandrkozyrev1042]

You actually ENGAGED steering when you manipulated the tiller just before the pushback (at 25:51). The memo on EICAS disappeared to let you know that the steering is now engaged. Which wouldn't be possible unless rampers for some reason fail to disengage the steering on a special panel below the captain's window. Also HYD SYS 2 must be pressurized for steering to be on. The STEER OFF is a memo (and not a command) that must remain visible throughout the push and until you get the hand signals. Then you check your flight controls (it makes awful noises if you attempt to check the rudder with the steering engaged as the wheel is turning, trust me). And only then you PRESS the tiller forward, not pull (the tiller is actually shown backwards in the sim for some reason -- the handle should be forward, not aft of the rotating point). If you accidentally engaged the steering when you shouldn't have, you can disengage it again by pressing a rocker switch button on the backside of the yoke. Not sure if you can see it in the sim, you can google it.

[@adventurwithken412]

I really appreciate your reply. I just subscribed. I have 3 more question please.(1) How can I switch from com 1 to com 2 radio? I will like to be able to listen to ATIS on com 2 while talking to ATC in com 1. (2) Also, I am unable to solve the no SIDs and STARs in the MCDU even after reading the quick start reference guide, (3) When I decided to fly without SIDs and STARs, the LNAV ( NAV ) wouldn't guide the plane laterally. I have looked online as well but could not find the answer . Thanks in advance.

[@masifm]

Love your work man. Do you have any videos of you doing a LOC approach?

[@MicahMesser]

I do not. Only difference, in simple terms, with a LOC is you use the MDA instead of the DA and you don't get a vertical guidance.

[@chiefsimpilot]

Awesome as always - took a while but just purchased it. Another great vid.

Awesome, thank you!

Hi. Are you able to switch from com 1 radio to com 2 radio? I just cant figure out how to listen to ATIS on com2 while monitoring approach on com1. I will appreciate any help please.

just a question, when do you activate the FD button, before taxiing I guess?

hello, thanks for the tutorial, I have one problem with the SSG e170 specifically. When I load in the nose wheel is turned in a positon that is locked, and it disables the pushback function with better pushback, and the default xplane pushback system as well as steering the aircraft. Any help?

[@MicahMesser]

There is a nose wheel lock. Look to the left, I believe, and there is a nose wheel steering wheel. Push down on the center.

[@jackconway6347]

@@MicahMesser thanks I found it

[@MicahMesser]

Good!

[@Jake-yv3kf]

First of all, amazing video, very helpful! However, I am having an issue with Better Pushback telling me my flight controls are preventing me from pushing back, and to disconnect a toggle nosewheel steering key bind. I don't have anything bound to this, and I disconnected the steering by pulling up on the tiller. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@MicahMesser]

Hmm...ive had this issue before but I fixed it by disconnecting the tiller. Do it a few times.

[@Jake-yv3kf]

@@MicahMesser Yeah, turns out I had the different positions mixed up. Thanks.

[@claudemiropacheco]

Thanks for posting this. This plane doesn't get much love. I just bought a few days ago, and I'm getting used. Not as easy and forgiving as the 737 or A320, and SSG documentation SUCKS. So many things not covered.

When I select the desired RWY in the FMS it does not offer me options for SIDS. is there something i'm supposed to load beforehand?

Could be the runway doesn't have a SID. its been a while since I flew this aircraft.

[@jugaviaviacionysimulaciona6413]

Thank you very much for the video. It´s the first video that I see than the pilot know how to use the plane. Many videos not have any idea for fly the plane and the procedures. I´m triying to learn to fly this plane in XPlane 11 and it´s very usefull. I fly others than Airbus, B377-800, turboprops but this is diferent specialy the FMS. Good video.

Is it possible to change the weight from KG to LBS?

[@bavariaEiB]

Hi! How do you calculate the Mach speed? If I use to an online calculator it says that 300 knots are 0.45 Mach. But the Embraer says something like 0.72 in your video.

[@MicahMesser]

Mach varies by density altitude. Best just to let the FMS do the calculating.

[@thekungfuguy4678]

where can i get takeoff speed table?

[@MicahMesser]

Comes with the aircraft in the documents.

[@HawkDawgfan]

Has anyone flown these recently after the last update? I've followed everything on here perfectly and it will not follow LNAV on AP and it climbs like crazy and then descends. Just wondering if it's really broken or if I'm doing something wrong.

[@tha_mexikan1752]

nice one bro

[@TheSpaceMedic0516]

My FMS does not have the nav data loaded on the NAV page. The upper most field is blank. Any idea how to fix this?

[@AndreLetsPlays]

How about the anti ice? Is it automatical?

[@heidi234]

when i plug in the flight plan into the fmc, for some reason it draws the magenta line strangely. like it plots the entire flight normally but the destination airport draws the magenta line back to the departure airport. it looks like a crazy pink spiderweb.

[@tomdemeester9868]

I found that it draws the vectors for missed approach to infinity, that might be what you are looking at...

if you have a navigraph subscription you need to download and install the separate AIRAC file for the SSG. SSG doesn't use the default AIRAC.

@@ayayronn I have the same issue. if I dont have navigraph can i not fly the plane?

[@rexxroyce9700]

CptSam did you find a solution?

[@kibz2005]

The nosewheel steering is actually OFF by default during power up. What you did using the tiller, was actually engage the nosewheel steering turning it ON before pushback. It's supposed to be off with ground equipment connected. It automatically engages once hydraulic system 2 is powered up during engine start.
