It MUST be said that if the FEELTHERE ERJ v2 is a prelude of things to come from that company, they have hit the nail right on the head and need to continue along this path. They have hit the ball out of the park with this aircraft, it is a joy to fly, a complex flyer's dream with all the bells and whistles befitting a "PIC" moniker. Not to mention 3 models each with their own personality and characteristicsEverything, from the systems to the cockpit night lighting gives me goosebumps. Performance for a fully modeled aircraft complete with totally flyable VC and full cabin is superb and did I mention that it is a joy to hand fly? And the price? This is easily a $89.00 aircraft because the systems are over 90% modeled, throw in a complex WX radar simulation (really...not just blob of colors on the radar screen but a real ERJ WX Radar mode interaction that is better than anyone elses), the capture of the sound ambiance of the ERJ is spot on (bullseye), AND the external 3D model and VC are simply crisp and beautiful. Oh, then throw in McPhat textures and you could spend hours just admiring this airplane without even flying it. Not to mention that the FEW bugs (this was a very tight release with very few bugs) in the first release were immediately fixed and they LISTENED to their customers to not only fix the few bugs but actually ENHANCED the aircraft!I am the first to scream bloody murder when developers perform poorly and have had more than my fair share of jabs at Feelthere but its only fair to extoll them when they hit a homerun. Feelthere did, they listened, they raised the bar and they must be praised for not only delivering a aircraft easily on the level of LDS or PMDG but for supporting FS9 - the best flight simulator ever released.If were thinking about buying this aircraft BUY IT. If you don't have the time to fly 737 routes but want a complex and beautiful regional jet that can fly at FL370 at 440kts BUY IT. If you want the perfect Christmas or Hannukah gift for the avvid flight simmer BUY IT. If you've got $45.00 in your pocket burning a hole, liberate it and BUY IT. If you have the ERJ v1 and think that's good enough, BUY IT and be amazed! If you've got an IQ above that of a box of rocks...BUY IT! :( Bottom line, this aircraft is worth your money and Feelthere should be rewarded for their stellar effort on this aircraft and support for FS9Bottom line, coming from a Flight Sim snob and perfectionist such as myself this aircraft is a MUST HAVE FS9 aircraft add-on. In over 20 years, I've reserved this type of praise for an elite few aircraft, LDS 767, PMDG 737NG and 747-400 and now the ERJ-135/145/145XR.Nuff said...did you BUY IT YET?

I am actually considering buying it but haven't made my mind up yet. Do you like it and would you recommend it?Edit: I just bought it... I think

I was actually concerned we missed some things in beta but it turned out to be an outstanding release just the same... Congrats to Vic and the team.

Is there a LOT livery available for it yet?

okay,that settles it ... If HE thinks it's good,I'm going to get it for christmas.but,if I find fault with it,I'll throw you a snowball!cheersJP.

Is there a LOT livery available for it yet?

None that I could find. Mcphat had indicated they would do one, but I'd imagine it won't be done before New Years'. I hope the paintkit will get released soon and someone has a go at it.

Now learning the PMDG 747, so haven't been able to look at this plane besides the quick jump in and go session, which was mainly focused on the modeling (which is great, the bets they did to date). However, I'll be reviewing it for simflight, so I plan to give this bird a close look in the coming two weeks. Should be fun :-)

I bought it when it first came out and after about 25 flights I too am a converted leveld flyer. It is a fresh addition to fs9 and done 1st class.Greg

Is there a LOT livery available for it yet?

No there is no LOT livery and I don't see that McPhat is doing one. I'm also waiting for a COA Express 145XR repaint.

Oh really?

How do you really feel, Mike? :(

feelThere ERJv2 SP1 United LiveryInto KLGA (from KBOS) just before the snow today. Nice flight!It is a "real nice" ride!Built in Weather Radar working overtime all day! Could be icing ahead!United arrival, just before the snow.

Did they model the real world crappiness of the radar? If so THAT would be a home run IMO......The only thing the real one was good for was getting you close enough to be struck by lightning. And yes I speak from experience.

Yup it is as close to a perfect release as you can get.I'm campaigning to get a 737PIC V2 done in similar fashion. Emailed Wilco who replied to say they were thinking about it!

OK Mike, either you owe me $46.99 or Feelthere owes you a commission :( While I've been thinking about it for a while, I just went and bought it to test it out on the east coast to see if the weather radar holds what it promisies. What a fantastic airplane!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm at a loss for words although this is not that surpising giving feelthere's experience.FPS, FDE, visual model, VC, systems, call etc. make this a close to perfect FS9 simulation :( . Thanks for helping me make this decision, I won't regret it, go pick up your commision :( Go Feelthere!Cheers,Pete
