Today an airliner that has not an FMC is not a good way to go. Wherever it is not a ease task. True FMC's is made
by people that does it in a long time and grew up making more modern one each year and every time it get more and more advanced.And costs millions dollars it developments. We SSG may can not follow this development , because it the most XP FMCs working "Elegant" is from 90' "a very known" FMC and believe i can find Tricks . Well people want a complete simulated FMC , that involves "Factory secrets "and hard coding development for 30USD.
We SSG decided to release the plane when it got ok for that, and we knows when it is released the Bugs pops everywhere. But Reviewers, Twichers and Purchasers still waiting for the "pearl", a "0" buggy stuff. So many input is made when it is updated and almost bugs too. I fill that XP is over, it became a big 3D render that the simulation itself don't makes any difference since it has a nice eye candy, if it has a complete ease and friendly FMC that makes things in your place, so then you don't need study, that gives you speeds etc.
Like the FS world that the plane behaviors is some thing that flight dynamics don't exists. May we the SSG will keep the place of the OLD guys"The Old School", that ones that makes ACF for Siming and not for SS. "ScreenShots". The FMC we plan to get it almost Embraer's like but it will take a time.
I look for the future and what I see is an X-plane with few developers making a only type of plane that does all the same and flies the same. We do the thing with love, we try to get back a little of the time invested in study and development and the counterpart , the user "purchaser" . Should give inputs and support the Devs is the better way to go.Go to fly.
Almost grips in our E-170 FMC we are working on it. Almost bugs related in the FMC we expect this next Saturday a SP1 that has ironed a lot of reported bugs and some project fixes. People in this comments are talking better is to buy the "X-crafts" that is cheaper , the prices fits . Do you know what X-crafts does an what SSG E-170 does ? Why the guys don't make a compare review. What X-crafts does and what our SSG E-170 does. Starting with how the plane sits in the ground, and then pushing the BATT ON. Not only be talking that it is better or cheaper . That is empty words.
What I can tell is that the SSG E-170 has a nice Custom FMC that give you a condition to go from Gate to Gate using all modern features like SID, STAR, APP, Landing. Gives you the V speeds , then you don't need go books to get it, a very nice AP and instruments displays like the PFD and MFD and systems automated like is the true one. A first rate flight quality in terms of flight dynamics and a very nice looking plus more then 100 liveries. And for the people that expends it time to go to a comment into a review to tell that the plane is not good without have got it and say that another from concurrence is better . I can just say I'm sorry about.
Thanks

Thank you Ricardo for your response is greatly appreciated. I'm glad that you will make the files available for users such as myself. I hope sales for you are well, but as I stated above I really feel strongly that the price point was over the top. If anything it should have been competitive with X crafts product. From an outsider or a new person coming in to the simulation, who is a budget conscious individual. Would look at both aircraft and would more than likely choose X-craft product over yours. And that is sad because as a longtime users your product I would not want to see sales taken away from the hard work that you put into the product. Best of luck to you sir and hope all is well.
As a side note, regrettably at this point in less the price point is altered, I too am also leaning towards the X crafts version over yours. And I want to stress it's not because you made a bad product, that is contrary to the truth. It's just that price matters when you are on a budget and have limited resources to spend your simulation dollars on.

Flight Simulation (X-Plane 10 Pilot) & Aviation EnthusiastHi we make planes for XP because we loves it, don't take it for this side , not all is money, Expend too much money if you don't care for systems and a complete FMC with SID,STAR, APP, plus a very fine flight dynamics don't make much sense. We will keep updating our products, may one day you will get ours . thanks

Hello Stephen,
Thank you very much for your review and it is greatly appreciated for users such as myself who are discerning customers. At this point in time, I'm an owner of the Embraer 170 original, regrettably I'll have to pass on this aircraft. The reason is simple, "they overprice the aircraft". Yes I know this is subjective and you've got the early adopters wanting the "new shiny" and willing to pay the high price that it is. That is fine if they want to spend their money that way, that's their business.
But for me who is a conscious buyer, I was put off by the price point and was expecting the price to be right around $34.95 which seems to be the normal pattern at the X-Plane.org store. The aircraft to me based on the promotional video did not visually seem to be overly better than the one that I already have as far is a visual appearance inside the cockpit is concern. Now outside the cockpit however, yes it does look better than what I have (and it should).
With the concerns that you said in your review even brings me to more pause in purchasing the aircraft. Yes I get the $10.00 discount which is cool but the price point after discount should've been $24.95. Then I feel it would've been justified.At the current price point, I'm still paying $39.99 which is $5.00 more than the X-craft 175. If anything, if someone does the simple math this is going to drive the sales for X-craft 175 over the E170 which is a shame. For me I was looking forward to this aircraft and did have conversations with Ricardo in the past about the aircraft. So getting my expectations up for the aircraft and then the price point happened and killed it for me.
To add insult to injury, my existing aircraft files on my account at the X-Plane.org store had been removed so me as a customer will no longer have access to the backups in case of unforeseen event that would lose something that you paid for. This puts me as a customer at risk which is disappointing. The resolution to this problem would have been simple by just taking the old models (E170 & the E190) that I have purchased and downgraded them to the download section at X-Plane.org so I would have least still have access to the files if a unforeseen event happened. Removing something that I have purchased was not the thing to do.
So in summing up 2 errors happened, the aircraft is overpriced, and removing something that I paid for was removed from access in the future. This is not cool and not good business. As a side note I was expecting the old files to be removed from the store and not for purchase but what I paid for to remain on my X-Plane.org account. I know the files are old, but to me that does not matter because they're functional. I am using the aircraft as of this post with XPflier.net which is an economy program similar to FS economy. The E170 & E190 aircraft are featured and that economy module aircraft list for users to purchase during their pilots career using XPflier.net. I can go on and on my disappointment which would end up boring you to tears.

Hi Dionsol thanks for your comment , expressing your point of view. We plan to release the Old E-jets as freeware, then you should download in any time you like in the X-plane Org forum or in our proper page. Stay tuned.

It comes down to pros and cons, but basically they are very similar now and more of a choice of feel. At this point the SSG 170LR is slightly better and has a better panel, but the X-Craft's is coming out with an upgrade very soon. The SSG E-170LR needs a lot of time to really get under its skin to get the very best out of it, but get there and it will reward you. SD
Thanks

Hi guys, keep looking into the last releases, buy the planes, all planes to keep the teams growing , keep talking about us, it make us more popular , "Bad or Good" doesno't matter the important is keep talking.
We aways will show our defence and apologises for our product. Would you do the same ? Show the 2 sides , the good and the bad.
Yes we read the goodies and the badlys, some we will adress to the project , some not because isnot the project target. New liveries , cockpit looking "Skins" will be available to download, new updates will come, we only release the SP1. And it will have the SP2, to kill the related bugs that still in. Don't think the B777 or B57 or 320 Neo or Peter or any otter complex XP aircraft came from any bug "bug free". I never saw and beliave a have got all planes. But all was or will be solved as aways did. I think the most important is that X-plane right now have the "King" as a complete and complex aircraft model. And the XP commutity that earns more with this fact.
best wishes

Hi,
Disappointing! I have the 777 and 757 and they are both excellent representations both visually and technically. This 747 has a glitch in the upper deck exit door that has black lines going through it at certain angles the cockpit is at a level not suitable for general sale at $60!! Some textures overlap the writing on switches and the detail level is no where near the quality of the 777, having spent this amount of money I feel ripped off by VMAX as the quality is more of a beta then a public release.
Very disappointing and needing updates to fix the poor quality. I expected more from VMAX!!
I'm running a perfect score (7.9) windows 7 system before people think my system is in adequate.
Hi , the SSG will be very OK to give your money refund and cancel your serial. Then may you will not feel ripped by Vmax or SSG.
Although is not all people thinks like you as almost only makes criticisms.
here is a forum that people thinks different around the SSG B748.
So the reader can have the other side.
thanks

Hi Fabio I agree completely with you, keeping good communication and really tell us about you wishes and disappointment is not bad and we for sure will receive it very well.
Who knows us the SSG, knows how much we grew and knows our limitations and goals . I wish costumers happy , unsuccessful not all is like you that know how to express, our wishes about the plane, that this is very constructive. I appreciate it thanks.
