Stephen Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 NEWS! - Aircraft Released : Embraer E-195 by Flight Procedures Simulation In the E-Jet sphere, then X-Plane had two sources for these iconic Brazilian Embraer Jets. Both basically were released in time with each other, one was from X-Crafts and the second was from the Supercritical Simulations Group. In context they were very similar. But the X-Crafts didn't have a custom FMS, so the balance went over to the SSG version to be more authentic... this was X-Plane 10/11. Moving into X-Plane 12, and a few months ago X-Crafts released their exceptional X-Craft E-Jet Family for X-Plane 12. With this release though and now with a custom FMS installed, the X-Crafts E-Jet Family was moved into a higher, far more significant expensive category. It is certainly worth it as the review confirmed, but with this new release Embraer E-195 from Flight Procedures Simulation (FPS), this is the original SSG E-Jet 195 version upgraded to X-Plane 12. Notable is that Flight Procedures Simulation is now shifted away from Supercritical Simulations Group to form their own design studio, but basically the aircraft is still SSG in feel and form. Important to note is the cost, as noted the X-Crafts are now higher graded into another category, were as this FPS E-Jet is still in the original US$55 dollar category, interesting because if the X-Crafts E-Jets are a bit out of your financial reach, then this E-Jet option will fill in the space in your hangar for an E-Jet, plus it comes with a 20% off offer for previous purchasers of the SSG E-195, makes it another entrance to X-Plane 12 E-Jet flying. Notable is that the aircraft is for X-Plane 12 only, if you want the X-Plane 11 version, then you need to use the older (SSG) version.
