  1. Make sure you selected the PREV Mode on your PFD
  2. Hey Vic, Thank you for your reply - in that case I'll update the first posting with the instructions, to keep it as easy as possible and copy my previous message down in here:
  3. [message edited for better overview - original request quoted in reply #3] Hey guys, I decided to work myself through the feelThere E-Jet V3 Embraer E190 for Prepar3D v4 and create a simulator version of the Lineage 1000 Business Jet – with its increased capabilities as a range of approximately 4600nm. The conversion is rather simplistic and does not include any work on flight characteristics or fuel consumption etc. [lack of documentation and of course a lack of skills], but is based on an increased fuel capacity for the existing wing tanks and updated weights. But nevertheless, it works for my needs and I wanted to share them with all of you – just in case some of you wanted to fly longer routes with the Embraer as well 😉 Those are the specifications of the resulting E190ECJ Lineage 1000: § Empty Weight: 32133kg // 70841lbs § MZFW: 36500kg // 80469lbs § MTOW: 54500kg // 120152lbs § MLW: 45800kg // 100972lbs § Fuel Capacity (in 2 tanks): 21871kg // 48217lbs § Payload: 4500kg // 9921lbs § Range: 4600nm § Passengers: 13-19 § Engines: 82kN/18500lbs of thrust Disclaimer: Please bear in mind that you need the original feelThere E-Jets V3 E170/E190 package and that this conversion does not ensure to be fully complete or to be without mistakes – but if you find errors please be so kind and comment them in this thread – in the community we might better find solutions 😉 Using this conversion guide is on your own risk! Conversion was done and tested in Prepar3D v4.5 Those are the steps I took: 1. Go to your Aircraft Folder (…\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\SimObjects\Airplanes) 2. Copy and Paste the “feelThere PIC E190” folder and rename the copy “feelThere PIC Lineage” 3. Open the new folder (“feelThere PIC Lineage”), copy and paste the Aircraft.cfg and rename the copy Aircraft.cfg.bak, to have a proper back-up of the original data. 4. Check whether you have specific textures that you want to keep for the Lineage version – I for instance only kept the House colours coming with the original package, as I could not find a proper Lineage texture so far (hints or painters are very much welcome), delete all other texture entries from Aircraft.cfg and delete the associated texture folders from your “feelThere PIC Lineage” folder. 5. Update the Aircraft.cfg for proper details in aircraft menu – I have it as following: [fltsim.0] title=Embraer ERJ-190-100ECJ Lineage 1000 House sim=190 model= panel= sound= texture=house kb_checklists= description= ui_manufacturer=Embraer ui_typerole="Business Jet" ui_createdby=Embraer ui_type=ERJ-190-100ECJ Lineage 1000 ui_variation=House Colours atc_heavy=0 atc_id= atc_airline=Embraer atc_flight_number= 6. There are also some description elements in the Aircraft.cfg that can see small changes: [General] performance=Maximum Cruise Speed: Mach 0.82, Passengers: 19, Range: 4600 nm atc_type=EMBRAER atc_model=E190 editable=1 Category=airplane 7. Now let’s have a look at the needed Fuel/Weight Updates to the Aircraft.cfg: (Adjusted lines highlighted in orange – “//” marks a comment) [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] empty_weight = 70841.00 // Increased from 61185.00 (E190LR) max_gross_weight = 120152.00 // Increased from 114199.00 (E190LR) reference_datum_position = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 empty_weight_CG_position = -3.25, 0.0, -3.0 empty_weight_pitch_MOI = 484738.60 empty_weight_roll_MOI = 178874.50 // 258874.50 empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 978276.00 // 1128276.00 empty_weight_coupled_MOI = 0.00 CG_forward_limit = -2.35 CG_aft_limit = -3.45 max_number_of_stations = 10 //Average human weight 175lbs station_load.0 = "175, 41.0,-2.0, 2.0, Pilot" station_load.1 = "175, 41.0, 2.0, 2.0, Co-Pilot" station_load.2 = "175, 33.0, 0.0, 1.0, Cabin Crew" station_load.3 = "175, -31.0, 0.0, 1.0, Cabin Crew" station_load.4 = "3300, -6.1, 0.0, -3.0, Passengers" // prior 12160 (E190LR) station_load.5 = "6600, -6.1, 0.0, -3.0, Cargo" // prior 7189 (E190LR) station_load.6 = station_load.7 = station_load.8 = station_load.9 = [fuel] LeftMain = -6.0, -15.0, -2.5, 3611.0, 0 RightMain = -6.0, 15.0, -2.5, 3611.0, 0 fuel_type = 2 number_of_tank_selectors = 2 electric_pump = 1 Please keep in mind: Config Manager incompatible to adjustments! Changes to weight and balance have to be done via P3D menu! The aircraft is not suitable for max payload and a complete fuel capacity! One of the variables have to be reduced in order to maintain below MTOW! Also please check for MLW!

  4. No no, it is actually done for a reason, which to be honest I cannot fully remember, but if you look at the specific settings of the flaps its actually quite interesting to see, that Flaps 4 and 5 are exactly the same - still they are seperated not only but a regular flap detent on the selector, but even a guard, over which you have to lift the flaps selector. Flaps 0 = Slats 0° & Flaps 0° Flaps 1 = Slats 15° & Flaps 7° Flaps 2 = Slats 15° & Flaps 10° Flaps 3 = Slats 15° & Flaps 20° Flaps 4 = Slats 25° & Flaps 20° Flaps 5 = Slats 25° & Flaps 20° Flaps FULL = Slats 25° & Flaps 37°
  5. These are Approach Speeds for the E190: Clean: 210 Flaps 1 - Speed 180 Flaps 2 - Speed 160 Gear Down - Flaps 3 - Speed 150 Do NOT use Flaps 4 during Approach - It is a Take-Off Setting Flaps 5 or Flaps Full - Final Approach Speed
  6. Hey everyone, Back in March (or on pages 7 and 8) there were initial ideas on the paint of Lineages - unfortunately it seems that those weren't finalized. However as those would give a bit more flexibility in routing choice on the Sim, I wanted to ask whether it is possible for some of you to give one or even a few of them a chance - there are quite a few very good looking ones operating around the world: Air-X Charter - 9H-FCM/9H-FAB/9H-NYC: https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1123195/9h-fcm-air-x-charter-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1115262/9h-fab-air-x-charter-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1042388/9h-nyc-air-x-charter-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj Flying Service - OO-NGI: https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1112915/oo-ngi-flying-service-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj Arab Wings - VP-CCC: https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1034171/vp-ccc-arab-wings-company-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj MGM Mirage - N785MM: https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1042342/n785mm-mgm-mirage-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj Dalia Air - CN-SHS: https://www.planespotters.net/photo/559549/cn-shs-dalia-air-embraer-lineage-1000-erj-190-100-ecj Would be cool to see some of those ready for the Sim! Best Regards Björn
  7. I do own the E170&E190 package since yesterday (however only using the E190 - on P3D V4.5) and this issue is similar to me: Well, my cockpit is not this dark, however I can confirm the issue of the dome light not acting in daylight (including twilight). More over, the EMER LT doesn't seem to be modelled at all 😞
  8. Hey, even though I‘m not part of the feelThere-Team, I can assure you that the E-Jet Autothrottle is not always a real help on the real aircraft as well. The real A/T is a little bit slow on the compensation of changes (keep in mind, that even the 737 is not quite perfect there), but especially it has a tendency to rather go a little bit under the selected speed than above it - so for your calculations be rather pessimistic und choose speeds a little higher than you‘d usually choose. Therefore in our operations we stand to use our hand as a backward limit to the throttle, manually overriding it regularly. Especially in gusty conditions I would not trust the real A/T doing its business alone and by the calculated values. We do always override, but still keep it on as a safety net. By the way, what is your weight in the scenario? I do fly the E190 myself and know the E170 only from the Simulator, but 115knts - especially in a turn - sound really low to me. Best Regards Björn
  9. Wow, that is tremendously fast 🙂 Thank you very much again 🙂
  10. Having those ones in mind, I wanted to ask whether someone has the chance to paint the full flygbra.se colours on one of the WDL Aviation E190s? Presently D-AJHW and D-AWSI are carrying those colours as seen in the link below https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1056166/d-ajhw-bra-braathens-regional-airlines-embraer-erj-190lr-erj-190-100-lr [D-ACJJ still has this hybrid scheme and D-AZFA is all-white/grey belly/red winglets (just like the 5th one which had not received its registration yet)] This would be highly appreciated. Best Regards Björn
  11. Hey there, I just came to this report here on the Known Issue List and made my way through the E190 AOM, where I found this: So from my point of view the actual solution until now is handbook-wise correct and should therefore not be changed in the Service Pack. To the question on why this behavior is not visible in the posted video above, I can just say that I have to give it a pass - luckily until now I was not able to reflect that myself.
  12. Hey, If the aircraft is getting into GA/TRACK mode during the approach itself, it seems that you have by whatever reason hit the TO/GA button or somehow similar. A reactivation of the APP mode, so ILS/VOR/NDB/RNAV, in this situation of GA thrust application and initiation of the Go Around Procedure is actually deemed unsafe and should actually be prevented. If it happens, fly the Missed Approach, line up once again and have a look if it happens again. In case you cannot explain yourself how you could activate the TO/GA Mode and that the situation is replicable, could you give us a short insight on what the situation was, so which height AGL, config, actions from your side? Regards
  13. Goedenavond, Holá and Hej, To explain the RNAV/RNP/GPS (or whatever it gets called in the next week 😀 ) I would like to make an actual overview on how the Embraer is structured concerning the various types of approaches: [Advise: This is not tested on the Feelthere E-Jets V.3 yet, but sourced of the Embraer Procedures] Lateral & Vertical Guidance vs. Lateral Navigation only Lateral & Vertical Guidance is given in almost every kind of approach (ILS [glideslope signal] as well as VOR, NDB, RNAV [calculated vertical glidepath - confirm with chart values!]) Lateral Guidance only is given in a Localizer only Approach (LOC) Magenta Needles vs. Green Needles The Embraer shows the source of the announciations and indications in different colours: Magenta Needles are reflecting to FMS data Green Needles are using radio-navigation source In detail: The ILS Approach is flown (as mentioned in the linked post of mine above) in Green Needles, so on V/L mode (with previous PREV selection if needed) with APP Mode selected The VOR/NDB/RNAV/RNP/GPS Approach is flown on Magenta Needles, so in FMS Mode, but also with APP Mode selected (basically all are GPS overlay approaches) The LOC Approach is flown on Green Needles, so on V/L mode (with previous PREV selection if needed) with NAV Mode selected Don't forget to Press Activate Vectors on the FMS when on vectors-to-final during approach. It clears up the Navigation Display and is especially essential for VOR/NDB/GPS Approaches, so the aircraft knows that the final track and glidepath are the only inputs it needs [Magenta needles = FMS data]! But just get yourself familiar with it for all kinds of approaches, then you wont forget about it in the rather rare case of VOR/NDB/GPS (compared to ILS) Just a little advise for ILS/LOC approaches (as in V/L mode) - In case of a Go-Around you have to re-select FMS at about 400ft otherwise you can press NAV as often as you like but the aircraft wont follow the planned missed approach I hope i did not forget anything important, did not mix anything up and it would be even better if this could be a help to anyone 🙈
  14. Oh that's interesting and indeed should be changed. But still, the use of the TO/GA button - to answer your question Matty - should always be taken. Even though the add-on is not fully in-line with the aircraft for the time being, the Embraer idea behind it makes sense and should (from my outside point of view) not interfere with the situation of the modes in the sim.
  15. Hey, Ok so from your narrative it seems the Feelthere E-Jets are the Pre-Mod Load but that is actually more familiar to me than the upgraded vastly changed and improved FMS Loads. [Btw. I dont have the add-on myself yet, waiting for the SP] The TO/GA Button only gives you T/O Pitch and Roll Mode, you can pre-select NAV for Lateral Navigation on Ground and it will come to effect at (I believe) 400ft AGL You select VNAV after Take-Off - a bit dependend on the operating airline - but if I remember correctly Embraer recommends 1000ft AGL The A/T is usually selected when lined up on the departure runway, so that you do not accidentally run into an acting ATTCS and a activation of T/O thrust prior a real need directly prior T/O Run. Hope that solves a bit of it 👨‍✈️
