June 21, 20214 yr https://secure.simmarket.com/virtualcol-embraer-170175-series-for-msfs.phtml Obviously not study level, but will you get £20 worth of fun, definitely. I've always liked the Virtualcol stuff just to pick up and go. 3 Models included and a heap of repaints. Using A320 FMS so no doubt there will be mods to male more realistic. This is what they say......''We are proud to present our second product for MSFS. This time taking care in the details and functionality to the maximum which were allowed by Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2020. This is a product, as others developed by us, keeps beginners and flight simmers in mind. However, it fulfills our policies for basic standards and its price makes it very affordable for all customers. THIS NOT A STUDY LEVEL PRODUCT! This time we deliver 3 models: ERJ170, ERJ175 and ERJ175 with Winglets extended and 30 repaints in UHD format to avoid loss of details.''

June 21, 20214 yr I really like the external model, but after watching the videos, I can hear some annoying sound loops externally that are not tolerable for me. I know it is Virtualcol, but I am surprised about the poor sound loops even at this price point. Then there is this disclaimer... WARNING: As here are included videos with functionally, sound, details, cockpit and exterior, we ask that you see them first before you make your purchase. All information provided is here NO REFUNDS GIVEN! Please refrain from contacting us for these types of requests as they will not be attended to... So at the moment, excuse me if I collect a few splinters in my bottom while I sit on the fence with this one! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

June 21, 20214 yr Externally looks ok, but jeez, that cockpit, the sounds and the flight model are terrible. Edited June 21, 20214 yr by Car147 AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive
June 21, 20214 yr i rather have 1 dc-6 than 3 virtuacols. and there is another problem, people are buying them and saying, see the payware planes are not worth it, already happened at the ms forum. throwing together quickly some stuff, selling it cheap, does msfs no good, on the contrary. ofcourse the old hands know how it goes, but the new ones dont.

June 21, 20214 yr I love the Embraer E-Jets, they are really sexy in my book. But I am really afraid that this is some CaptainSim-defaultsystem-word not allowed. I mean they clearly say that it has default systems and even the Airbus FMC... but how bad is it really immersion-wise? I will wait for a video review, I guess. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
June 21, 20214 yr I feel sorry for the new comers, as they wont know what's worth buying and what not to touch. AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive

At which point sites like fselite and even here at Avsim need promoted much much more throughout the ‘new’ and growing section of the community. I remember 15 years ago when review articles actually dictated whether an addon was worth it or not. Now everyone just sits on the fence incase they offend someone…
June 21, 20214 yr Looks to be a better effort for the money than the likes of Bredock and CaptainSim.
June 21, 20214 yr Going to see what happens with these other projects that are developing the E175/E190 first over the next year before I buy this. I really dont have a problem with it being basic as over the course of my sim career I know ill spend over 90% of my time in the A32NX, the A220 that is being developed

June 22, 20214 yr I am just gonna post this here. Here are some pics and my review. This thing is a dumpster fire. New Release: VirtualCol Embraer ERJ-170/175 - Third Party Addon Discussion / Aircraft - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

I DO have an issue the way VirtualCol, CaptainScum, Bredok3D, and MScenery do it. In Carenado's case everything makes sense and is believable. In those other ones, it comes out to be some sort of a Frankenstein jet.
