@regis9 And once in the "roadmap" tab you have to keep clicking "View More" underneath each phase until you can click no more!

Thanks guys, some pretty big items not in the first release or even first phase.  No VNAV?  No FMS/Speed mode.  Yikes.

I don’t have it, but is the initial systems/autopilot depth actually worse that the Virtualcol version?

Yeah don't buy that one either. It's a tired old port from P3D which originally started as an FSX model. Looks terrible, flies unlike the real thing, 

I think this aircraft might be on par with one of the poor default aircraft. Lacking things like AP aural warning, etc., are pretty enormous misses. I mean EICAS message for TO Trim is in their Phase 1... how do you get away with releasing an addon without even that level of detail covered? It's a pretty big and simple one to get done...

I'll wait and see if they actually hit phase 2

Well, FSS is about to turn themselves into the next CS if they go this route. As others have said, early access doesn't guarantee you a complete product. Really wish devs would hold off on releasing junk. It's just not worth it. Especially when the bare bone basic features are missing. 

This screams “airsimmer” to me.

O yeah!! I was a part of that years and years ago. Brings back some not so good memories. Website is still up 😉 

 

I guess this is a classic case of "I'll believe it when I see it".

A quick review of what has been said in the livestream so far:

• Updates planned “every 2 weeks”
• “Final version is aiming to be something at that level” (re: systems, physics and realism in comparison to PMDG, Fenix and ToLiss). Have the knowledge and the people (8) in the dev team to do this, just not enough of them.
• “More than 15 type-rated pilots” on the test team.
• “Avionics, still a lot to do. Biggest and longest part to do”.
• “No surcharge. All updates free” if buy early access. (Expected higher price for 'final' version).
• 'Early access purchase' guarantees the E-170 for free. No timeline for that model yet, though.
• E-190 and E-195 expected and to be sold as separate package.
• To be available on Aerosoft store and “at some point” on the MSFS marketplace, though the AS version will be updated more frequently due to traditional slowness of updates appearing in Marketplace.
• EFB is basic at the moment, but “expected” to have Naivgraph and SimBrief integration later. Also, can physically be re-positioned in cockpit.
• Development time so far on E-170 project is 12 months.

I gave up watching.... every other click he makes in the sim is followed up with an explanation as to why it's not ready. While I appreciate their efforts, they should've just waited. It's still using the default sim nav system. FSS/Aerosoft will not be getting my money for this dumpster fire.

Seeing as though we currently have no decent version of the E-175 I'll give the devs the benefit of doubt, I can afford to take a risk of losing €33+VAT. I have a small amount of faith as the SeaRay they done was half decent, obviously being a much simple aircraft to develop, but it's better than nothing.

...and that's how they keep getting away with it. 

The person they have on stream from the team seems to be very knowledgeable about the E175 in general.

If they deliver on their promises I don't see the issue.
