X-Plane 12 | X-Crafts E-Jets | E195 | EIDW-EGMC *Giveaway*

[@NADIR_ALMO2AYID]

As a sim enthusiast and a former pilot in the e-jet, I was very excited about this release, I watched prerelease videos of Q8 and XP72, Chosen by Marco of X-craft to showcase the add on, I bought the aircraft day one, it was a very bad decision!! I’m still blaming myself in believing these two KZbinrs as they failed both - either by dishonesty or ignorance-in pointing out very obvious shortcomings, like the bad flight model, very shallow aircraft systems, buggy basic FMS..plus many bugs .. this addon doesn’t match the price asked by miles. PS: the 3D modeling and texturing is good quality.

[@Q8Pilot]

Both XP72 and myself are neither dishonest nor ignorant. I think your accusations are both baseless and extremely ill intentioned. We both have reported our thoughts to the community based on how we experienced the aircraft. Is it perfect, no. Is it "study level", no, but it is a well developed addon that will be improved by a committed developer. If you have constructive criticism to give, we are all ears, an attack on my person, I can forgive, but you have no right to call XP72 dishonest or ignorant. You can contact Marko with feedback to improve the addon if you are a real world former ejet pilot.

[@NADIR_ALMO2AYID]

This addon is not a 74 USD, u know it too well, the entire community will know it soon. You didn’t report any of the too many negative aspect of the aircraft !! Not a single one! I understand that you not familiar with technical aspects of the airplane, what about the flight model !? With all your sim experience you should have known.

[@Q8Pilot]

@@NADIR_ALMO2AYID I reported many things throughout my streams on the aircraft. The price point remains a subjective matter, but disagreements does not give you the right to call us dishonest or ignorant. If you want to be objective please do provide your points so that the addon can be improved.

Great stream Sam! Thanks a lot. Funny enough, the issue that happens at 1:13:33 is not related to VNAV, it is related to the VSD not representing the descent path correctly. So it looked like we were supposed to start the descent right after passing BKY, but in reality, the plane will just fly straight until it intercepts the 3° path and starts descending again. Unfortunately, we didn't incorporate the subsequent TODs in the VSD yet, so the descent path looks like it should start descending at a shallower angle right after BKY, and I see how that looks confusing. That is the problem that we will have to address as soon as possible. The reason why it flies level and then descends at 3° instead of just descending straight away at a shallower angle is that it stays higher for as long as possible to save fuel. Ultimately, if you just stay in PTH, it will always start descending at the right time, but the VSD needs to reflect that. So the VSD definitely needs to be updated on our part, and we will prioritize this, because I can totally see how it would confuse the users. The only thing I can ask for is a bit of patience, every release of every kind of software is very stressful but we are gathering all the feedback, and we are already working on releasing a hotfix, as well as an official update hopefully by the end of this week. Thanks a lot Sam and everyone for watching!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for clarifying this as it was indeed confusing. Great bird and I really am enjoying it.

I purchased the E175 on day 2, and I will say that it is a worthy investment. The tutorials alone , helped me to better understand airline operations. I also enjoy the way the EFB works , as well as the PFD , MFD and FMC works , and expands when you click on it. If you are new to airline operations , this is a good investment. My favorite airline kit is the Zibo 737. Favorite payware ( Q4xP ). And this joins the ranks as well. If you are into airliners , this offers a good experience and introduction into this line of aircraft’s

Great stream and look forward to it. Thinking of reverting to xp from msfs after ejet released 👌.

[@delg551]

Dont Revert, MSFS is good too. How about Co-existing :)

[@Morst434]

@@delg551 Just co-excist. Msfs is my primary sim. Must say 25 Fps in xp12. Have 4090 and 70-90 Fps in msfs. The choice is easy.

[@SimPilotMika]

I wish that XP12’s shadows weren’t this hard and harsh. I can barely see the beautiful cockpit once you pass the clouds 😢

[@MisiekBaer]

Seems like there is a problem with the sun shining through the fuselage and reflecting off the HSI. This problem exists with other aircraft as well.

[@stephengale7177]

Hello my friend. I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well. I just so enjoy your streams. You are just such a wonderful soul and just so down to earth. You always put a smile on my face and you just sound so happy which is just so awesome. With the XCraft do you have to put in a Star for the ILS to work because I have not been able to do a straight fly in ILS landing. It does not pick up the LOC or GS. Yours Faithfully kindness Regards Steve

[@Q8Pilot]

Hi Steve, thank you for your kind words and support as always. I hope you and the family are well and safe too. For the XCraft, the ILS will not be picked up automatically as it should in real life. So you should input it manually.

[@delg551]

The price is high, but then look at PMDG 737 Series for MSFS $49.99 + $69.99 + $34.99 + $69.99 way over $140 for the full set of 737's. So it isnt that bad. And less we forget, with the X-Crafts the linage will be free and the steep landing packages as well.

[@MrGidianG]

Is this the 195-e2 model?

[@javierrivas8246]

Where I could find liveries for this aircraft? Nice video thanks!

[@MarcalVentura-ci7zu]

What do you honestly think of this aircraft? Is it really worth buying? How do you rate the product?

[@nicklausmb]

I would rate it a 6/10

[@DiamondAviator]

i wish we would have that replay system in msfs. the only thing i honestly miss from my xp days atm

[@owainwright6055]

Nice vid Q8, as ever. Is it a pain to port over to Xplane 12 from 11?

[@airpaper2342]

hello! What weather engine do you use?

[@Q8Pilot]

XPlane default

[@nickyboi7964]

Seems pretty poor for the money, the autopilot seems way off and the FD on departure is totally wrong , real shame

[@louisluo8737]

Where is EGPWS？ 2500，1000，500~100。50~10 ？

[@passengerescobar]

I really wish this aircraft series got better reviews 😢

[@xcrafts_development]

Please keep in mind that this is still just a first version - this is just a start of what we have planned. Think of the iPhone 1 and iPhone 14, they also didn't have every feature in the first version of the software, but with time they could improve everything, and that is what we are going to do :)

[@passengerescobar]

This is true, and I have purchased just about every version of the iPhone along the way.😊

[@davecat1458]

Why on earth spend the kind of money being asked for this payware when it is still not ready for public consumption.? $134 for basically the same aircraft, same systems, just variants? $75 for one? I recommend a wait and see attitude. The ZIBO 737, free, and is miles in front of any payware add-on for XP11 or XP12. I look for consistency when simming. This product is just not there yet.

[@nicklausmb]

Toliss is pretty good for most of it. But I get your point, this plane just isn't there yet.

[@fabrizio737]

its truly a shame nobody can actually develop an accurate version of ejets. all them are pure trash just like this one.

[@redfisher5378]

Over promised and under delivered.

I see they deleted this same comment of yours on the forum as you don't own it and have no standing - FYi Q8 and I find it fantastic, and it's going to get better. X-Craft's customer engagement with this release is unmatched.
