Stephen,
I absolutely agree, FMC's as the heart and soul of an aircraft should precisely mirror their real world counterpart.
I have not test found the discrepancies that you mention, and indeed, that sounds like it is a bug of a critical nature.
I had hoped to put a positive spin on the negativity surrounding this model.
Let me put that another way; my newly found enthusiasm for the Embraer E-Jets led me to reinstall my old feelThere product, but to my surprise, it was showing its age more so than I had expected. In turn, this served to highlight the good points of SSG's effort, such as the really rather good modelling, though it did rather show up the FMC's discrepancies.
My gripe with the X-Crafts E-Jet was the non-standard FMC that neither looked like or felt like an Embraer unit, whereas SSG have made an effort to visually match at least some of the Embraer's FMC.
The entire FMC unit, however, should have zero Boeing-esque elements to it, even if the underlying structures are indeed JC's UFMC.
SSG, to enter into the upper echelons on this market, the detailing, texturing, and systems of the aircraft must more resemble in form and function the product that they based upon.
The Evolution does this to a reasonable extent, but to fully warrant its price, the aircraft should have deeper and more reliable systems depth at it heart, and an enhanced quality at its interface, and by this I mean where we as pilots sit as well as how we interact with it.
Good try, nice aeroplane, though this won't stop me looking forward to more in the way of revisions.
Best wishes,
Fabio
