I agree, I thought that this was going to be addressed in SP1, maybe I was wrong? Kinda disappointing.

This and the lighting issue during dawn/dusk are some major issues that should be fixed

[E175 flaps after SP1]

Hello,

Thanks for working on SP1.

There is still an issue with the flaps structure on the E175, see below comparison of flaps 2 setting.

Outer flap structure now includes 2 parts however it is hardly noticed as the flap angle once extended is completely off (you can barely see the bottom part extending).

Great guys thank you!

[Service Pack question]

I prefer the team takes the time testing it thoroughly before releasing it. Too many other examples of companies rushing to release and introducing regression issues.

Shom are you pressing the TOGA button on the throttles after you finish setting up the TRS page in the FMC? And verifying you see ROLL/TO on your PFD before engaging autothrottle? 

Correct

You need to move it all the way because your hardware is not moving along with the coded lever and can send noises back to code.

I use simply a Logitech joystick.

It did not reproduce in several E175 takeoffs I did beforehand

I would think that, along with many other parts of the aircraft, they have been left out of the cabin view for better frame rate purposes - if you move the view point on your own, there will be many parts of the aircraft that can't be seen. It's always going to be a trade-off between performance and amount of aircraft that can realistically be built  for the intternal views.

 

You have moved the view, there is no 'fix' for this as things stand.

Cheers,

Paul.

Makes sense. I would move the wing view to be external but the downside is that you get along with that the external sounds which do not sound realistic.

I have had this happen. It seems the AT goes from TO mode to the HOLD mode. I've found that if you manually increase your throttle when the AT is grabbing them it works out. Technically your throttle position should be changing...

That is what I did

after engine run-up (about 50%) did you move the your controllers throttle(s) to full forward?  this is how the FADEC is modeled.

Manual page 63:

(note: the above I correct the typo at the end of the first sentance that seems to have made its way into the manual - oops)

 

this procedure is also covered on manual page 73 -

 

@scoobflight understood so why do the throttles move automatically forward after reaching a certain N1 value? What is the point of me pushing the throttles forward as well?

I remember seeing before release a YT video shared by a beta tester (and pilot) who said the throttles advance on their own

[E175 - Issues reducing speed for landing]

Dropping the gear a little early helps you slow down too. Pro ATC x is terrible at vectoring but Radar Contact is spot on. Since Radar Contact doesn’t have stars or approaches it can sometimes be a little off with altitude. Definitely need to manage your speed and angle somewhat on descent with this aircraft. The 3 degree fpa target can be a little aggressive depending on the wind and you may need to use speed brake.

Depending on winds it can sometime be beneficial to disengage auto throttle for a little bit. Sometimes AT goes a little bit above fms speed and takes a little while to stabilize. Same thing seems to happen at cruise with certain winds and turbulence conditions.

I use the gear method as well it just seems to me an unrealistic procedure...

How are you setting up the game to obtain this view?  Provide EXACT steps so others can attempted to duplicate.

Kevin's post above shows the port(left) side of the the plane and assuming he also has an engine with a starboard(right) side view.  So the engine is modeled when using his method for setting up a viewpoint.

@scoobflight it seems Kevin is looking at the wing from external view, I am actually looking at the wing from the cabin view.

I've set up this view by simply moving the X/Y/Z coordinates set by default in the aircraft.cfg under the camera wing view section

 

[A/T goes to TO mode on takeoff but then suddenly reduces power]

Hi,

Today during the takeoff roll in the E195 the throttles moved forward automatically (after arming the A/T and pressing the TOGA button).

However after about 10 seconds when around 80 knots the engine throttles went back for no reason so I had to manually override them to complete the takeoff run.

What could cause this?

[Engine not visible from wing view]

Hello,

For some reason the aircraft engines are not visible from the front wing view.

Like the engines were not modeled when looking out of the aircraft.

See attached E175 example (relevant in the E195 as well).

Hmmm I've only tried PRO-ATC X which is good but sometimes literally forgets you or vectors you to pretty much nowhere when withing 20-30nm from the airport. 

 

How do you like radar contact?

It's old but very good (and also freeware)

I've been using if for over 10 years...

The strongest point is that it's rock solid always vectoring you correctly never crashing etc...

On the downside it does not handle SID/STAR vectoring and also does not support voice control.

Check it out it's freeware now...

I believe a few real world ERJ pilots confirmed that to be a correct characteristic of the aircraft. The way I slow it down is to either take the plane manually under 10,000 or take it out of VNAV and go into VS descent mode and aim to get to the intercept altitude early. With the plane leveled out you can get it down 170 or so with some flaps and from there by the time the GS comes you shouldn't have an issue getting the speed down. Also helps to disengage AT at some point to ensure the speed you want will be met. 

 

Also holds can be your best-friend in a sim. If you're to high and fast enter a hold and you should be able to hit your constraint or desired altitude, then exit the hold when ready. These tips are flying offline if you are online especially on PilotEdge you might need to make a few requests to do this to prevent spacing issues and what not. These work for me but i'm sure theres more out there someone else has. 

 

Thanks

Thanks Jamie!

I actually do use the VS function (-1000) usually below 10,000 ft.

I use radar contact which gives you step descents while vectoring you.

I guess I'll have to take a longer downwind to make sure I'm levelled off for some time before capturing the GS.

[E175 - Issues reducing speed for landing]

Hi,

I find it very difficult to reduce the speed of the E175 on approach towards landing (to a point I need to use the speed brakes up until before the landing).

The NGX which I also find hard to slow down is even easier to slow down.

Is this a normal behaviour of the E175? If so any tips on how to set the plane better for approach?

 

Thanks!

[FSLabs Spotlights Profiles to provide cockpit lighting in the EJET at night]

@Jeffrey S. Bryner this is great thank you!

Question - is the chart/overhead suppose to light up also the overhead section of the cockpit? I've tried it specifically on the E175 and it lights up only the chart section leaving the overhead dark.

Thanks again
