E-Jet Series (Early Access)

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.

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. The FMS in the Early Access version is based on the standard flight plan system of MSFS, but uses a custom interface that mimics the Load 27 software installed on the real aircraft. In addition there are several modifications concerning SID and STAR selection and waypoint management.

Unfortunately, the native MSFS flight plan system doesn’t allow us to implement all functions of the real FMS, so we have decided to create a fully custom FMS which will contain the majority of the currently missing features. Developing such complex software however takes time, so it will only be available in the final products.

• Detailed replica of the LOAD27 MCDU:
  
  • MSFS based lateral route management incl. SID/STAR
  • Performance Initialization & Data
  • Fuel Management
  • Takeoff and Landing speed calculation
  • Flight Summary
  • COM/NAV integration
  • Conversion Calculations
  • Maintenance Pages
  • Progress overview
  • Direct keyboard entry available

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.
