FlightSim Studio has released E-Jets v0.10.50, delivering another substantial update to its Embraer E-Jets Series for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. The latest build focuses on flight guidance, FMS functionality and general system improvements as the aircraft approaches the end of Early Access.
The autopilot has received several refinements, including improved FLCH and altitude capture, smoother pitch and FPA transitions, better autothrottle behaviour and updated autotrim logic following autopilot disconnect. The yaw damper has also been adjusted to prevent continuous wing rocking.
Further improvements have been made to the FMS, with Direct To now better handling routes without unexpected loops or detours. DES NOW functionality has been corrected, while VNAV, descent constraints, ECON speeds, SID procedures and RNAV approaches have also received attention.
The update additionally expands ACARS and SimBrief integration, including weather requests, METAR uplinks and improved performance data imports. EFB, GSX, MCDU, electrical, engine and display systems have also received various fixes.
FlightSim Studio says the E-Jets are now approaching the end of Early Access, although no Version 1.0 release date has been confirmed.
As a reminder, the price of the FSS E-Jets 170/175 and FSS E-Jets 190/195 will increase with v1.0. (All current customers will receive the update free of charge). A native MSFS24 version is planned following Version 1.0 and will be free for existing customers.
FlightSim Studio E-Jets Changelog
Improvements & Fixes
- EFB / GSX: Departure fueling choice; instant boarding no longer auto-refuels or caters
- Datalink / ACARS / SimBrief: WX request; METAR uplink and new-message queue; expanded ACARS menus (PRE FLT, FLIGHT INIT queuing, greyed-out unimplemented rows); SimBrief login, load order, and PERF speed import as MANUAL targets
- MCDU RTE / FPLN / PERF: Improved departure/arrival RTE layout (runway, SID list, CO ROUTE / FLIGHT ID); manual RWY ELEV and runway slope on TAKEOFF INIT; FPLN climb IAS/Mach (incl. FL290+), SID constraints, DES SPD LIM, PERF DESCENT angle, and ECON speeds; UNABLE CRZ ALT stays cleared after CLR
- MCDU Flight Summary: Combined summary page/log with fuel used per engine and APU and live fuel remaining
- FMS / VNAV / descent: DES NOW flies the descent (UNABLE PATH INTERCEPT when capture fails); descent path kept through climb/TOC; MAX SPD cruise at VMO/MMO; VM/FM heading hold and route gap at discontinuities; RNAV GP deviation referenced to runway threshold
- Autopilot/autothrottle/trim: Smoother FLCH, altitude capture, and AT through speed/thrust changes; FLCH longitudinal accel capped; pitch/FPA-hold integrator unwind on capture; gentler idle retard on large FLCH descents; autotrim holds landing attitude after AP disconnect; yaw damper no longer drives continuous wing rock
- PFD / guidance: Flight-director cue as path director on the FPA scale; barber pole VLE/VLO with gear extended
ILS / approach: Localizer offset after LOC capture fixed; GS no longer re-arms while ILS ident remains - Landing/rollout: Autobrake no longer disarms below 60 kt; reduced pitch-up after touchdown (E190/E195)
- Electrical / CAS / warnings: GPU IN USE until APU supplies AC; fuel AC pump fail as advisory; ENG NO TAKEOFF DATA suppressed; engines shut down; EMER LT ON cautions delayed 2 s
- EICAS / TCAS / displays: N1 wing-AI cyan mark only on icing approach; TCAS hides traffic below 380 ft AGL; MFD spoilers show full deflection
- Engines / controls: Improved start spool-up; MobiFlight elevator/aileron axis input fixed; smoother ±7° pedal NWS and tiller
- Cockpit polish: Fire-handle backlight and updated textures; missing sound fixes
Known Issues
- Planned step climb currently disabled
- Autoland currently disabled
