What Version 1.0 stands for

Many of you have followed the E-Jets for a long time. Version 1.0 is the feature-complete milestone we worked toward: a custom FMS, a custom autopilot, and a product we can support going forward — not a pause in development.

Work continues after 1.0. Next up is a native MSFS 2024 version, plus further improvements from community feedback. If you already own the aircraft, just update. If you are new, this is the version to fly.

Frequently asked Questions

Where We Are Today

Version 1.0 is released. The E-Jets now ship with a custom FMS, a WASM-based MCDU, and a custom autopilot including VNAV — the foundation we built throughout Early Access, now available as the finished product for MSFS 2020 and 2024.

Development does not stop here. Our next major focus is a native MSFS 2024 version, free for existing customers, alongside continued bug fixes and improvements. The sections below describe what is in the aircraft today.

Version 1.0 ends Early Access. The aircraft now includes the custom FMS with a WASM-based MCDU and a custom autopilot with VNAV, compatible with MSFS 2020 and 2024.

Existing customers get the update free via Aerosoft One or the Contrail App. Read the MCDU documentation before your first flight on this version. A native MSFS 2024 version is next.

Version 1.0 is the feature-complete milestone — not the end of development. Next we begin work on a native MSFS 2024 version, free for all E-Jets customers.

We will also keep improving the aircraft from community feedback: additional MCDU pages, sound, EFB, and other items on the roadmap.

Yes — VNAV is part of Version 1.0. See our Autopilot Guide for vertical modes and MCDU setup.

Yes — including display of online traffic on VATSIM, IVAO, PilotEdge, and similar networks.

That said, you should be comfortable operating the aircraft systems before flying online, so you can follow ATC instructions reliably.

Early Access pricing ended with Version 1.0. Existing customers continue to receive updates free of charge.

Features

The cockpit and cabin are where you spend every flight — so the visual foundation has to hold up in close-up inspection as well as from the outside. The 3D model was originally created by X-Crafts, a well-known company from the X-Plane community. Based on thousands of photos and with input from a number of real pilots, an incredibly detailed replica of the real aircraft was created. Our team migrated this data into an MSFS capable aircraft. This includes taking advantage of native technologies such as detail decals, PBR texturing and performance optimization. In addition, a large number of animations were added - above and beyond the usual. For example, the cockpit windows and door can be opened, sun visors can be placed and much more. Last but not least, there is an individual night lighting with a variety of light sources, which creates the right mood even in the dark.



  • Precise and highly detailed recreation of the E-Jet Series (interior & exterior)
  • Including long and short winglet version
  • Detailed cabin with dynamic seat layout
  • Using native MSFS technologies like:
    • High resolution decals
    • Crisp and sharp liveries
    • PBR effects throughout
    • Custom icing model
    • Individual interior and exterior lighting
    • Hundreds of animations including wipers, seats, wingflex, etc.
    • Ground service docking config
    • Dynamic registration number
  • Several detailed liveries included

How the aircraft feels on takeoff, in turbulence, and on approach defines whether a sim addon is enjoyable day after day. Our flight dynamics developer is a pilot himself, so the E-Jets configuration is based not only on manual data, but on real operating experience. The result is generally good-natured handling that remains controllable even in demanding conditions.

  • Correct weight & balance behavior
  • Performance in limits to real world data
  • Configured by real world airline pilot

Sound is what makes a cockpit feel alive — especially on the E-Jets, where system states and ambient cues matter as much as engine noise. Our sound designer has spent hundreds of hours converting reference material into usable MSFS sounds. This includes not only the usual things like engine sounds but also many animations like the cockpit window or environment ambience.

Some systems were even simulated to the point where you can't see the difference visually, but you can hear it all the more clearly. One example is the avionic fans, which make characteristic noises when the aircraft is switched on. Or the pack air flow, which varies depending on the aircraft configuration.

The result is an extensive soundscape that reflects the typical feeling of the E-Jets.

  • Custom soundpack specifically done for this product
  • Immersive cockpit feeling typical for E-Jets
  • Custom cabin sounds
  • Includes several warning and alert sounds

The E-Jets are highly automated aircraft with a simple operating concept: as long as no button is lit, auto-logic manages systems according to the current situation. That reduces workload in normal operations and lets you focus on flying. This auto-logic is implemented in Version 1.0. All normal-ops procedures can be performed and the system status can be monitored on the EICAS. Also, most systems can already be switched to manual mode should the situation require it. We will continue adding and perfecting all systems with future updates. Please check out our online documentation for a detailed system description.

  • Systems custom coded based on real aircraft manual
    • Electrics (AC/DC)
    • APU including realistic procedures
    • Hydraulics
    • Heating / Ice Protection

The Electronic Flight Bag is your operational hub before and during flight — from SimBrief imports and performance calculations to ground equipment, doors, and aircraft configuration. Everything here is designed to keep preparation practical and connected to the rest of the aircraft.

  • Flight planning incl. SimBrief import
  • Aircraft loading/fueling
  • Performance calculation (Manifest)
  • Control ground equipment and doors
  • Navigraph Charts Viewer
  • Comprehensive options
    • Throttle calibration
    • Aircraft settings (global)
    • Operator settings (per livery)

Route management and performance data drive every phase of an E-Jet flight — from departure briefing to approach planning. Version 1.0 uses a custom FMS with a WASM-based LOAD27-style MCDU, compatible with MSFS 2020 and 2024.

Before your first flight, read our updated MCDU guide and procedure guide.

  • WASM-based LOAD27-style MCDU with Captain and First Officer units
  • Route, performance, fuel, progress, COM/NAV, and datalink pages
  • SimBrief import via MCDU datalink
  • Keyboard entry, dual-MCDU operation, and ACT/MOD plan editing
  • VNAV path and descent management integrated with the custom autopilot

The autopilot is the backbone of every E-Jet flight — it affects the aircraft from climb through cruise, approach, and missed approach. Version 1.0 includes our custom autopilot, closely coupled with the custom FMS, for lateral and vertical guidance including VNAV.

Check out the Autopilot Guide for a detailed overview.

  • Custom Flight Director implementation including TO mode
  • Automatic Yaw Damper logic
  • MAN speed mode
  • Custom lateral autopilot modes (ROLL, HDG, LNAV, LOC, TRACK)
  • Custom vertical autopilot modes (FPA, TO, ASEL, FLCH, ALT, VS, GS, VNAV)
  • Corresponding Flight Mode Annunciators on PFD

Primary flight information — attitude, navigation, and system status — has to stay consistent and readable throughout the entire flight. The PFD, MFD, and EICAS already cover normal operations, along with the IESS, digital clock, and audio control panel.

You can fly complete routes under normal and typical online operations. Display and system refinements continue after Version 1.0.

  • Realistic Primary Flight Display (LOAD27) including:
    • Autopilot FMAs
    • V-Speeds readout
    • Low Speed Awareness tapes
    • VMO/MMO barber poles
    • Metric altitude readout
    • Trend vectors
    • BARO in hpa and inhg
    • Radio altitude readout
    • Flight director (bar/cue)
