VirtualCol has released their second aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. After their Beechcraft Model 99 Series, the company has now released their Embraer 170/175 Series. The package includes 3 models: the ERJ170, ERJ175 and the ERJ175 with extended winglets. The package comes with a large number of high quality liveries.

Other features included are mostly related to external features of the vehicle. VirtualCol makes no secret of it, but this plane does not simulate internal or system behaviour of an Embraer. The systems are that of a default aircraft template, although modified to resemble an Embraer. The FMS is that used by the default A320 Neo to make the plane easier to use.

The VirtualCol Embraer 170/175 Series is available for €20,98 from SimMarket. Owners of the previous FSX/P3D version of the plane can get the plane for a small discount at €16,79. The product does not include a (flying) manual, but instead some YouTube videos have been created to get you up to speed with flying this plane.

Following on from the recent release of the latest World Update for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Orbx has released a new Iceland mesh product for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The new mesh product has been created with blended DEM data meaning that Iceland now looks even more realistic than it did before.

The product is described as “100% self-contained” and makes no changes to any other mesh in the scenery. Furthermore, Orbx says that there is “virtually no noticeable performance impact” when using the product, making it a no-brainer to download and install. Iceland Mesh is fully compatible with the latest world update and each level of detail mode is consistent meaning there won’t be any blurring when flying around.

You can download Iceland Mesh for free through OrbxDirect right now by simply signing into your Orbx account.
