The Embraer family, which has been developed by X-Crafts over the past two years, has today been released. Included, is the ERJ E135, E140, E145, E145XR, and in a surprise move, also the Legacy 650.

Developed by two people, the aircraft features Steve Wilson's plugin code, including a Tekton FMS. The aircraft have been developed with the aim of a balance of visuals and systems depth, so whilst not considered "study-level", the aircraft can be flown by people of most abilities, and are ideal for short haul flights.

The aircraft includes twenty-five Easter eggs hidden all over the aircraft, and includes five liveries for the ERJs and three for the Legacy.

Systems and aerodynamics:

The systems are configured like on the real jets based on the input from our real ERJ pilots.  We even have the custom AP climb and descend modes which simulate the real AP modes on the ERJs. The screens are as close to the real thing as I could have made them within my possibilities. The start up of the avionics is simulated just like in the real jets. The aerodynamics have been fine tuned to match the feel of the real jets!

Exterior:

• 4K High resolution textures (more important is the resolution of the actual fuselage which is 75000pixels per on meter squared)
• Highly detailed landing gears, Flaps, lights, gauges, antennas... everything :)
• Realistic wingflex animation
• Pilots in external view
• All doors are animated and controllable from the plugin menu. Main and service doors can also be opened by clicking on the levers.

• There are 5 liveries included compatible with the ERJs (White, American Airlines, American Airlines Old, United Express, ExpressJet,and 3 for the Legacy. There are dozens of other liveries available on the forums.

Interior:‍

You'll find that there is an amazing level of detail, for example dust particles on the screens visible when light shines one them, finger prints on buttons, and if you zoom in really close to the screens you will even see individual pixels on the actual screens. I tried to make sure that the cockpit looks realistically worn out and used as it would based on how much these jets are used!

• High resolution PFD, MFD, EICAS displays
• All text around the cockpit is crisp and clear with any rendering options
• Intuitive cockpit manipulation - I have always taken great care to make the cockpit as easy to use as possible. This means all clickable areas in the cockpit are very big so that you can easily click on any button, knob or lever in the cockpit
• Each switch, lever, knob, and handle is animated
• All cockpit lights are controllable exactly as on the real jets, even the screens shine light on their surroundings
• Includes baggage pit door light

Popup instruments:

• 3D (not movable, ideal for VR) pop-up panels of the FMS, Radio panel and Thrust Rating Panel.
• The FMS also has a 2D pop up window mode that stays on the screen and you can move it around, so you can simply choose which one you want to be using based on your preference.
• Pop Up screens of the PFD MFD and EICAS

Other features:

• Realistic Exterior Lighting: NAV, Strobe, Beacon, Left/Nose/Right landing lights, Nose taxi lights, Inspection lights, Logo lights, Courtesy lights, Baggage door light. They all cast light on the surroundings.
