I was holding out on purchasing the Early Access FSS E175 while they continued dev and worked out some bugs. I heard recently that it was a frame hog so I continued putting the purchase off.  Im getting very itchy for a RJ in the fleet.  Does anyone have current experience on how its performing and would you recommend getting now or wait for further dev?  Is it still buggy and a frame hog?  Do we have an official changelog I can view?   I'm having a hard time locating it.  

Thanks!

Yes on there 0.95 revision 2 experimental, I am getting very good fps. With all screens on and taxi/flying. Did a small hop from LOWS to LOWI and it was a really good flight. System spec depending.

https://www.flightsim-studio.com/ejets-roadmap/ Click on the various versions to see the release notes.

0.9.5rev2 released today and the stuttering seems fixed and fps are almost to where they should be on my rig, 35-40fps. MCDU and FMS get the job done but still need work. Autopilot is flying an ILS approach, altho I've just done one flight so I'll say "to be determined."

You can program a route and the AP will fly it nicely, but you gotta watch out for waypoints that are not the ones you want. Little Navmap helps building routes to avoid using duplicate waypoint, vor, intersection, etc.

I'm not sorry I bought into this early release plane. Devs are on time with their releases so far and are active on their discord.

I'm happy with it, as it offers you the possibility of flying a different aircraft like the e-Jet. The FPS issues are getting a high priority now and FSS is working on them. There are some workarounds in case FPS is an issue on your system, like turning off co-pilot's screens, but as Riah069 mentioned, it would depend on your system specs.

I haven't bought into it but I know if it becomes decent I probably will.

Systems-wise, if you're expecting something even on par with the Wilco E170 from so many years ago, you will be disappointed immensely. It's like a very pretty default aircraft.

It is very pretty though. I've been following development on their discord, and so far no signs of the FMS code coming. There are too many items on the roadmap still, a lot of which are "awaiting FMS back end code," and I don't think that there's a guarantee if or when we'll see that.

I appreciate the updates from the early adopters!

Thats harsh.   No way its below the Wilco E170. A little more complexity than Wilco for sure.  You havnt bought it yet so perhaps try it out before comparing it to Wilco.  Yes there is quite some work to do, but its quite functional with an A to B flight.  

 

FPS is getting better, and the updates are coming as promised.   Be on your toes is all as a pilot.   Sometimes it has a mind of its own as far as navigation or sensitivity, so you make a correction and its back on course.  VNAV will come but I'm sure that is minimum 6 months away.  Had no issues planning descent using FLCH or VS, just do your calculations.  

One thing to note, they have moved to a stable and experimental branch workflow. So when you install the Aerosoft  one installer, it will default to the older "stable" version.   For better fps , choose experimental 0.9.5

Nice to have an Ejet in MSFS albeit quite an early state.

Performance is much improved with the experimental branch. It's now flyable. The displays locked up on approach though...

Question.  How do you choose the "experimental branch" in Aerosoft One?

You will need to uninstall the plane first in Aerosoft One. Only then will the "install 0.9.5 experimental" be available to install. Look for it in smaller letters.

Are you actually familiar with the original E-Jets series? Wilco had nothing to do with the development. The E-Jets series was designed and developed by a highly skilled team at Feelthere. The aircraft had far more complexity and realism than most users appreciated, because those users never understood that E-Jets are not like Boeings. Wilco's only involvement was in marketing the product.

If you are thinking about the Virtualcol E-Jets for FSX/P3D then they were indeed a very basic development, below some of the default FSX aircraft, but nothing to do with Wilco or FeelThere..

Best to check the facts before rubbishing something, although I might agree with your feelings about some Wilco developments.

So 2 months after release it finally turned from "no systems depth, bad FPS" to "no systems depth, acceptable FPS"? I'm sure this achievement was only possible thanks to the unwailing early adopters and their well invested money.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Oh, that's what you mean. I only remember them (very fondly) as Feelthere E-Jets, and you are right, they were excellent. It was my first payware jet and I learned FMC programming on those models 🙂
