FeelThere is having a Black Friday sales on their Embraer E-Jets E175/E195 and E170/E190 for $30.00 each package.

E170 and E190

E175 and E195

Someone knows the actualy state of this? SP1 still left me pretty disappointed. Any updates since then? Is it v5 compatible?

Don't bother.

They're even refusing to add panel lighting that can be turned on during the day. This stuff seems to be mostly last gen tech, ignoring current sim capabilities.

Thanks @flycln

I saw the price and was curious.  But if history is any example.  Every time I buy an aircraft that's not top tier, it always stays in my hangar.  Even if at the time I thought I was getting a great deal

For this price I'm in.

I have 170/190 from day 1 and after SP1 I quite enjoy it. so 30 for add 175/195 is OK for me.

I go around the light issue with FSL spotlight and not quite care about graphic so it's OK for me, Yes the FMS are not 1:1 reduplicated but most function I need is there. The VNAV descend is bad, but just as QW787 and CS757 are. and manageable by just using FLCH.

The flight performce is quite close to real AOM, that's a big deal for me. And that's what they have fixed on SP1.

I main issue for me for now is they don't have correct CG and Takeoff trim calculation, and creat some headache on rotation if not care.

what quality level do you put the e170/190 on?  Any other payware you would say it equals?

Interested also. Never pulled the trigger because of the price tag, but I flew a lot the Embraers as a passenger pre-COVID and I wanted to replicate them in my sim. This BF sale might be a good opportunity, but still cautious.

Is it V5 compatible ?

EDIT : according to their website it is, needs to deactivate a dll.

2 people have asked and I can't see on their website whether it supports P3D V5. Is it a secret?

Yes they are compatible with P3D v.5. 

Yes they have a P3D v.5 installer included.

Yes they support addon xml installations.

For $30 I think I’ll take a snap at the E-170/E-190 package. I compared this to CaptainSim pricing and have deemed this as a no brainer.

Cheers, Pete

so is this plane on the captain sim / aerosoft level or worse?

I used to have the old one for FSX and it was pretty good. I also just watched a fairly thorough review on YouTube and the reviewer said it was worth the $60 price tag. For $30 it seems like it’s worth the risk. I would say it is similar to CaptainSim / Aerosoft level, but I think I am a bit easier to please than some others because I don’t do failures, etc.

Not sure if you're aware since there these guys don't get much media coverage, but SP2 is their most current service pack.  

I just purchased the 170/190 V3 package and I am unable to download the product. I get the following error message: "The password has been blocked. "

Pretty disappointing, I sent emails to BMT support but who knows when they will respond. Please be advised.

Cheers, Pete

I would say around QW787, less good than CS757, but IMO CS757 have more deep system simulation but somewhat more bug for normal flight, QW787 even less deep as Ejet but for normal flight it's about same, however QW787 might have better graphic and AP finetune than Ejets. For normal flight it's not compareable for Aerosoft I think, but I only have tried AS320 on my friends computer.

I know and I have SP2, but SP2 is not much improvement than SP1. I'd rather say it's SP1.1
