E-Jet Series (Early Access)

20

Explore the world.

The Embraer E-Jets family for Microsoft Flight Simulator — available as two standalone packages: E170/175 and E190/195 (plus Freighter). The latest stable release is built on a WASM-based MCDU compatible with MSFS 2020 and 2024.

The aircraft remain in Early Access on the path to Version 1.0: you can fly complete routes today with custom systems, immersive sound, and top-level 3D assets. Before your first flight, read the updated MCDU documentation — workflows have changed from the previous stable version.

For details see our latest release announcement, online documentation, and roadmap.

New stable release

The latest stable release replaces the previous stable build

The old stable release relied on a JavaScript MCDU that stopped working reliably after Sim Update 6. The latest stable release moves the E-Jets to a WASM-based MCDU — a stronger foundation for MSFS 2020 and 2024, and for everything still ahead on the road to Version 1.0.

Experience from the previous stable version will not always carry over directly. Please read the updated MCDU guides before your first flight.

Early Access — What We Stand For

Many of you have been following our E-Jets for a long time, and we appreciate the continued feedback and patience. Our priority is to release updates that are stable, meaningful, and supportable — not simply to publish something quickly for the sake of showing movement.

The latest stable release is a major step forward, but the E-Jets are still in Early Access until Version 1.0. A few MCDU pages and vertical autopilot refinements remain before that milestone. If you expect a finished study-level product today, we recommend waiting. If you want to be part of the journey, you are welcome.

Frequently asked Questions

Where We Are Today

The latest stable release is built on a WASM-based MCDU and a stronger long-term foundation for flight guidance, route management, and autopilot integration. That is a deeper change than a typical feature update, and it is why we recommend reading the updated documentation before your first flight.

We are close to Version 1.0, with remaining work focused on additional MCDU pages and vertical autopilot behaviour. After Version 1.0, our main focus will shift toward a native MSFS 2024 version while continuing bug fixes and improvements. The sections below explain what is already in the aircraft today.

The latest stable release replaces the previous stable build. The biggest change is a new WASM-based MCDU that works with MSFS 2020 and 2024 — the old JavaScript MCDU stopped working reliably after Sim Update 6.

Read the latest release announcement and updated MCDU documentation before your first flight. Version 1.0 is the next major milestone; a native MSFS 2024 version is planned after that.

Our ultimate goal is to create advanced level products including a custom FMS and a custom autopilot, however, that takes a lot of time. So while we are working towards creating all of the E-Jets at a higher level of fidelity, we are offering this early access. There are two main reasons for this:

  • First of all, we want to listen to what the community wants. We are offering this Early Access version at a reduced price, so that anyone who would like to support us and provide their input can do so. We want the community to be involved in the development of the advanced features and we want to be transparent about what we can or cannot do.

  • There are many users who are happy to with the current level of simulation, and we want to give them the chance to enjoy these products now, while the rest of the community can wait for the final advanced product.

Yes — VNAV is fully implemented in the current stable release. 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.

No, the packages are already reduced in price during Early Access.

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. Most of this auto-logic is already implemented in the Early Access version. 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
    • Air Condition / Pneumatics
  • Only in the E190/195:
    • Steep approach mode
    • Head-Up display

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. In the current stable release, the E-Jets use a WASM-based custom MCDU compatible with MSFS 2020 and 2024 — replacing the previous JavaScript-based unit that became unreliable after Sim Update 6.

Before your first flight, read our updated MCDU guide and procedure guide. Workflows differ from the old stable release.

  • 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
  • Additional MCDU pages planned before Version 1.0

The autopilot is the backbone of every E-Jet flight — it affects the aircraft from climb through cruise, approach, and missed approach. The Early Access build extends native MSFS autopilot systems to their limits and adds E-Jet-specific modes and custom logic where the defaults fall short.

Our fully custom autopilot — closely coupled with the custom FMS — will unlock the remaining modes and more precise guidance. That work is underway alongside the FMS foundation.

Check out the Autopilot Guide for a detailed overview.

  • Custom Flight Director implementation including TO mode
  • Automatic Yaw Damper logic
  • MAN speed mode
  • Custom tuned lateral autopilot modes (ROLL, HDG, LNAV, LOC, TRACK)
  • Custom tuned vertical autopilot modes (FPA, TO, ASEL, FLCH, ALT, VS, GS)
  • 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 already fly under normal conditions with what is implemented today. Further display refinements will follow as the underlying systems mature.

  • 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)
    • Flight path vector
    • Slip/skid indication
    • Vertical deviation scale/pointer (LOC only)
    • HSI (Compass only)
  • Custom Multifunctional Display including:
    • MAP mode (arc view with routing and navaids)
    • Progress display
    • Custom system pages (STATUS, ANTI ICE, ECS, ELEC, FLTCTRL, FUEL, HYDR, ENGINE, CONFIG)
  • Realistic Integrated Electronic Standby System (IESS)
  • Custom EICAS display including all required system information
