Wow, and I do mean wow. So where did you get all of the components (overhead, yoke, pedestal, etc) visible in the pictures? Do you fly (in it) online, if so which network? I'm on VATSIM. If I'm asking too much (private) info, please PM me. I'd love to hear more about this. How did the project start? What are you using for Those posts are only a mere 2ish years old; to me that's recent. Did you use any GWI panel components?

Wow. Would absolutely love to see that. Do you have a website or have anything online showing your cockpit? My hat is off to you; that's something I can only wish to aspire to doing but would love to have. Stationary or with a 3,5 DOF platform?

Thank you for replying. I'll try converting them using imagetool.exe from the P3D SDK. I think I'll start with the feelThere PIC E175\sharetexture\lighting folder. All/most of those textures all appear to be 4Kx4K, DDS format DXT5 Compression. I'll convert to DDS5 DXT5 with 2048 resolution, no mips first. After that, I'll have a go at the (what appear to be) VC textures in the \sharedtexture folder. I'll let you know my results. P.D.: For anyone who might be trying the same, I'll batch resize using PhotoShop's custom Action/Record and Automate as imagetool.exe does not (batch) resize. Jeffrey S. Bryner

Maybe it's because it's in the manual. Pages 20 and 31 for the MCDU(aka FMC or FMS) and page 25 for the EICAS. Manual is freely downloadable on the product page (without purchase): https://www.feelthere.com/shop/p3d/embraer-v3-175-and-195-p3d4/ In the V2 manual, same info, pages 21, 25 and 31 respectively.

+1. Happened again last night. KORD-KBUF on VATSIM as SKW5321. Passed 10000 ft AGL around dusk with a low deck (4000 ft) with another 100% stratus layer at 6000. Started a long app for RWY 23, frames steady ~25-30. At DH for the APP (200ft) it was twilight, frames then quickly dropped to ~10, touchdown, KBUF on RWY 23 rollout, turned toward terminal and frames dropped to 2 fps. Then it became unmanageable. GPU spiked to 100% and was pegged thereafter (before it was in the 80% range). That seems to be one of the problem's symptoms. Disconnected and flew the app with another payware a/c and frames were stable on the app, t/d taxi to the gate and thereafter. Another observation --- Could this be related in any way to the V/C (and dynamic lighting) since the update? I still notice quite long load times for V/C textures, especially at night/dusk. If I switch views from v/c, to spot, then back to v/c in this scenario it seems to affect the degradation. If I am able to get to spot view and pan up to the sky, it seems to stabilize until I change view back to v/c. I wish we could get this sorted. I absolutely love this aircraft. if it will help, my machine specs are : Intel i7-6900K CPU @ 3.20GHz ASUS X99-DELUXE II mobo 32 GB RAM DDR4-2133 1066.1 MHz EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Dual 4K Monitors - LG Ultra HD Model GSM5B09 2 x 2 TB Sabrent Rocket NMVe M.2 8220 SSDs 1 x 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD 1 x 512 GB Crucial BX100 500GB SATA SSD Microsoft Windows 10 (10.0) Professional 64-bit Prepar3D version is: 4.5.13.32097 Relevant addons: KBUF - FlyTampa ORBX Vector, openLC NA, Trees HD and Terra Flora REX Sky Force for P3D v4 FS Global Real Weather (P3Dv4 Edition)

Just posted May 7th on AVSIM: Lufthansa Cityline Embraer E190 (D-AECI): https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=p3dacrp&DLID=217681 Lufthansa Cityline Embraer E190 (D-AECH): https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=p3dacrp&DLID=217680

I certainly understand. Might want to just fly the house (Embraer) livery. It's actually a nice looking paint scheme.

Olá, Right now, I'm contemplating CONVIASA E190, China Southern E190, LOT Polish Airlines E170/175 (remember they were the first E170 operator) and possibly a Tianjin Airlines E190. I saw a request for the TAP E195 which I may take on considering I did TAP in a E190. That's top of mind for now....still need to release the J-AIR E190 I had started with the J-AIR E170.😧 Regards, Jeffrey S. Bryner

Hi Jerry, JetBlue only flies the E190 (LR). See https://www.planespotters.net/airline/JetBlue-Airways or https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/JetBlue Airways.htm. I was working on some of the other tails and the 2-color blue fuse stripe. Which reg did you have in mind?

Or you can just post the request here and someone will do it for you....I highly recommend it...😉

Greetings, Thank you for the reply. Here's my FPS settings in the EMB configurator. As this is for all models and I don't seem to have the issue with the E170/E190, I didn't think that would be the place to look. Suggestions?

+1 here as well. My experience of this seems to be at dusk/night. Daytime it seems ti be more stable and closer to normal FPS for my sim. If I fly out of KORD (FSDT V2) at dusk/night, I'm getting 4-7 FPS on the ground. As @flydknoted, in the air, it's fine. I was flying into KMSY from KMIA arriving at dusk and the descent passing below 10000 ft, FPS went from 30+ (stable) to 2-5 FPS on final and I had to disconnect from VATSIM as I could not finish the approach. I can also report that if I select a view other than virtual cockpit (e.g. exterior), FPS returns to normal. I've tried this with and without ChasePlane and it does not make a difference. I love this a/c, but this issue is making it more difficult to enjoy the E175/E195 with the SP. Jeffrey S. Bryner

Thank you Jim.

Released on AVSIM! It's dedicated to all who serve or have served: https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=p3dacrp&DLID=217529 Thank you for your service.

Alaska Airlines Opd by Horizon Air "HONORING THOSE WHO SERVE" Special Livery (N651QX) released I uploaded the package for this aircraft to AVSIM. Hopefully it will be posted there in the next 24 hours.

Thanks -- she's loaded with a lot of hand drawn artwork. I hoping to get it published tomorrow as I'll be uploading it to AVSIM tonight (4/27/2020 GMT-4)

You're welcome indeed. Jeffrey S. Bryner

Alaska Airlines Opd by Horizon Air "HONORING THOSE WHO SERVE" Special Livery (N651QX) On Short Final... I will be releasing this later this week, but wanted to offer a preview. This has taken some time as I created the winglet art, tail art and medallions by hand including the FALLEN SOLDIER and the HORIZON AIR SALUTES THOSE WHO SERVE. Enjoy the preview. Cheers, Jeffrey S. Bryner

You're welcome Ryan. Hope to get them released yet this weekend. COVID-19 quarantine giving me more time than I've had in forever to focus on such things. Actually, I've been spending time working on Alaska Air/Horizon Air "Honoring Those Who Serve Livery" for the E175 (N651QX): https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1017417/n651qx-alaska-airlines-embraer-erj-175lr-erj-170-200-lr There's a lot of vector artwork to (re)create for that repaint, but I'm about 50% on with it. Will get back to the GSX profiles soon. Cheers, Jeffrey S. Bryner

You might want to go back and review Lockheed Martin's Minimum and Recommended System Requirements for Prepar3D V5. Minimum VRAM is now 4GB (up from the 2GB minimum in V4) and Recommended is 8GB (as with V4), so no guarantee for addons, especially complex ones, if you're at the minimum. Prepar3D System Requirements: https://www.prepar3d.com/system-requirements/

Hi Ryan, You sure can. GSX comes with an in-sim graphical editor for both aircraft customization and airport customization. The GSX manual explains this in detail starting on roughly page 52, in the section titled "Airplane customization." The location of the manual is under the folder where GSX installed (i.e.: ..Addon Manager\couatl\GSX). The file name is/was GSX_manual.pdf. It is very detailed, and all the credit in the world goes to Umberto and FSDT for providing such detailed documentation and sophisticated tools. You can, of course, edit the config files directly. The document explains that as well and where those files are located. Best of Luck to you. Jeffrey S. Bryner

Could this information be posted by FeelThere on the FSElite Prepar3D V5 Upgrade Hub / Compatible Aircraft page (https://fselite.net/prepar3d-v5-compatibility/aircraft/)? The only FeelThere planes listed are the E13x/E14x. The V3 EJET is not on the list. A User confirmation of compatibility can be posted, but a post from FeelThere would be more official. We certainly want to get the word out to as many as possible that the V3 EJET can fly in the P3D V5 skies! Best, Jeffrey S. Bryner

Thanks indeed. 😉 Jeffrey S. Bryner

If you're Prepar3D v4.5, consider the HotFix released in May of 2019: https://www.prepar3d.com/news/2019/05/115307/ If you're Prepar3D V4.4, have a look at this video from Rob Ainscough:
