Stephen Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 NEWS! - X-Crafts updates the E-Jets Family to v1.02 It is to date the aircraft release of the year 2023. X-Crafts sensational E-Jets Family of four aircraft... E 170 - E 175 - E 190 - E 195, that is a big package, but if you don't want all of them, then you can also buy a specific version, the favorite is the longer range E-190. More details can be found on the extensive X-Crafts site here... E-Jets Family by X-Crafts The v1.02 update is quite substantial even with the non-moving throttles being fixed, but only together and not individually. The full update notes are below. v1.0.2 Release Notes AUTOPILOT & AUTOTHROTTLE The throttle animation was fixed. They are not separate and they now move backward in reverse The reaction of FLCH climb/descent rates slowed down a bit AT stability improved in X-Plane 12 Note: Finding the right values for the AT is a very time-consuming process. It is currently still not perfect but should be much better now than before. We will continue improving this in future versions. SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENTS Engine Start sometimes fails to ignite - Fixed. Engines should now always start under normal conditions Flaps 1 and 2 now take much longer to extend, as per the real aircraft Fixed Fuel Crossfeed switch which wasn’t working The right Radio is now off in DC power, left one is powered Fixed sterile lights switch not moving on DC power Wing Ice Protection switch indication fixed PFD Added a preceding zero to the altitude dial for FL values lower than FL100 as on the real aircraft The speed trend is now only displayed once the speed tape is live (above 30 kts) Fixed speed tape showing incorrect value while the aircraft is stationary in strong ground winds Fixed VS indication not clearing on the PFD when switching from VS to FLCH (VNAV) mode during the climb Enhanced the APPR1/APPR2 modes on the PFD: APPR 1 (CAT I ) will be Engaged and green if the following conditions are met: Minimums are set to BARO Flaps are set to 5 or FULL Radio altitude is less than 1500ft APPR 2 (CAT II ) will be Engaged and green if the following conditions are met: Minimums are set to RA Flaps are set to 5 or FULL Radio altitude is less than 1500ft MFD Brake temperatures now display correctly, and the temperature now increases after braking. It will take around 15 minutes to cool off after applying full brakes on landing. This is only available in X-Plane 12. Fixed temperatures sometimes incorrectly showing 0°C on the ANTI-ICE page Fixed last waypoint on missed approach missing identifier on VSD. Fixed crash when plugins provide bad TCAS aircraft's data. Fixed north-up map not orientated to true north on the PLAN. Fixed VSD focus waypoint out of order in some situations. Fixed reversed left/right of track indicator. Fixed CTD when perf available with no flight plan. Fixed TOD drawn over TOC on VSD with short flight plans. Fixed TOD position inaccurate on VSD with some flight path angles. EICAS Fixed OIL PRESS being too high in X-Plane 12 Fuel flow for left engine displayed in tens, not single digits as on the real aircraft EFB Fixed airport database filtering out non-IFR airports. There should be no more issues finding an airport Fixed: No explicit connection timeout set on libcurl requests. (For Linux users) Fixed: Status bar showed wrong day SOUNDS No smoking and seatbelt sounds no longer play when there is no battery power. Park brake sound now only makes sound when the handle moves. Fixed a typo that was preventing the oxygen supply test from working on the 190, 95, and Lineage. Interior APU sounds are now working as intended. Sound now fades in when sim is unpaused, or when returning from a menu screen. Added interior cabin electrical to the rear of the cabin. Added engine windmilling sound when engines are off (X-Plane 12 only) Added 1000, 500, 200, and 100 callouts. (Sounds generously provided by Mango Studios) Rebuilt the packs event to more closely match the functionality of the real plane Rebuilt avionic fans to be more consistent. Rebuilt touchdown sounds to happen independently as each gear touches down. Added interior engine start sounds. Fixed cabin/cockpit rattle sounds that were not playing properly. X-PlaneReviews did a full release review here; Aircraft Review : E-Jets Family by X-Crafts You have several options to update the E-Jet Family aircraft... Option 1: Use the Updater If you have v1.0.1 installed, you can use the SkunkCrafts updater. If you have v1.0.0, then please redownload the new version from the store as the updater may not work. Detailed instructions on how to use the updater can be found here. Option 2: Redownload from the store This option guarantees a “factory reset”, so you can be sure that the add-on will work correctly. Detailed instructions can be found here. I recommend the second option and download a complete clean version from the X-PlaneOrgStore _____________________ Yes! the Embraer E-Jets Family v1.02 by X-Crafts is currently available from the X-Plane.Org Store here : Embraer E-Jets by X-Crafts Price per single aircraft is US$74.95 Embraer E170 by X-Crafts Embraer E175 by X-Crafts Embraer E190 by X-Crafts Embraer E190 by X-Crafts Purchasers of the E-Jet v2 (X-Plane 11) can get this new XP12 version with a 15% discount Embraer E-Jets Family by X-Crafts Price for the FULL E-Jet Package is US$134.95 Includes every E-Type | E170 | E175 | E190 | E195 Plus + Linaeage 1000 Private jet (When Released) Purchasers of the E-Jet v2 (X-Plane 11) can get this new XP12 version package with a 15% discount Requirements X-Plane 12 or X-Plane 11 The first few initial updates will still be X-Plane 11 compatible, however, 6 months after the release, the X-Plane 11 version will be final and development will continue only on the X-Plane 12 version.
