FlightSim Studio has updated their Embraer E-Jet Family for Microsoft Flight Simulator to v0.9.32.
This new update includes a list of bug fixes, improvements and features with some of the highlights being updates to the 3D model, a new custom auto brake system logic, APU logic and single-engine taxi logic.
Updates to the 3D model include the GPU panel opening when the cable is connected, toning down the wear and tear in the cockpit, animated side sunshades and fan blade animation when the engines are off depending on wind speed direction. The new custom auto brake logic includes a 2-second delay after touchdown with the correct brake force, and the APU logic now simulates APU EGT based on the outside air temperature and altitude. Lastly when implementing a single-engine taxi, the Hydraulic Sys 2 Pump stays on for 6 minutes before shutting off automatically.
FlightSim Studio also mentioned progress on their custom FMS, which is moving slower than they’d like but will be worth the wait. The new custom FMS is already in the simulator but not all pages are simulated, the ones that are do include a popout function making it easy to drag to another screen. Moving on, they also mentioned they will be introducing their own actuator system in the future, which will make ground operations much more realistic, and also that they have been working on simulating cabin and ground crew operations, intending to simulate things like arming the doors after closing and other procedures. Alongside this, there will hopefully be deeper integration with GSX.
Lastly, FlightSim Studio mentioned their plans for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 explaining they do not have early access SDK for the new sim so they cannot ensure compatibility ahead of time and all they know is that it will take a lot of effort to adjust both the C++ code and the 3D model to fully take advantage of the new simulator’s capabilities.
The full changelog can be found below. Existing FlightSim Studio Embraer E-Jet Family owners can download the update directly from Aerosoft One or the Contrail App.
