The team at FlightSim Studio has updated its E-Jet product to version 0.9.33, implementing new features and fixing an array of bug fixes.
The E-Jets Update 0.9.33 introduces key improvements, including a Tail Strike Avoidance System for safer takeoffs and landings, enhanced autothrottle and FMS speed modes, and refinements to the 3D model and APU bleed simulation. Several bug fixes address system stability and usability in areas like hydraulics, the MFD, and the autothrottle.
FSS also gave us an update with regards to bringing their E-Jets to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. They said that they are now exploring new features and see how it impacts their overall timeline. They do have access to the new SDK and alpha build, but the aircraft is not performing as expected in the new simulator. They are waiting on whether this is an issue with the plane or the simulator alpha build, but will let the community once they have a better understanding.
Finally, FSS confirmed that an update for the aircraft will be released prior to the Christmas break. This will come with 2 new features: a deeper GSX integration, including automatic flows, and also a landing distance calculator in the EFB. More details on both will come soon. Update: We have clarified the wording to make it clear this is not the final update in the early-access phase, but there will be another update before the end of the year.
The full changelog for version 0.9.33 is down below. You can purchase the E-Jets from Aerosoft’s store or Contrail. You can also learn more about the Freighter edition of the E-Jets in our previous post.
