April 18, 20251 yr Thought I’d post this as I wasn’t aware until i came across a YouTube video last night. I was able to install the E-jets through contrail. I haven’t tried them in sim yet but hopefully will be able to today. Some limitations were noted on Discord, most notably that the SU2 Beta is required, and that Simbrief flightplan imports are not currently working. https://youtu.be/Gek--uyLFY4?si=0GAdz1nA1cUw509Y Edited April 18, 20251 yr by regis9 Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU
April 18, 20251 yr Still no VNAV and custom FMC I wager? Typical FSS style, always biting off more than they can chew.
April 18, 20251 yr I'm very disappointed with their E-jet, and regret investing in it.

It's something I haven't understood either, likely because I don't have the necessary technical knowledge but: Isn't it a port-over of the XP variant which has all the systems? Why haven't they been able to duplicate it for MSFS? Is the development environment that different between the two that it has to be done from scratch?

I’m not an XP user, but perhaps it has those software Features and Functions built in and FSS simply leverages them. -B

FSS only purchased the external model from X-Crafts. FSS E-Jets and the X-Crafts E-Jets are developed completely independently of each other.
April 18, 20251 yr I heard their 727 was released for MSFS 2024 but then I also read that somehow it isn't working and therefore effectively can't be used in MSFS 2024. Is that right? Is it unusable? AMD 5830X Nvidia RTX 3060 Win 11
April 18, 20251 yr They had a version compatible with 2024 that worked fine with a few issues. Biggest I recall was the GPU not working so you had a start up APU. One of the patches - I think SU1? Broke it and they withdrew that version. Apparently a new version is coming soon. I don't mind the Ejets, I think they fly great if you ignore the missing automation. Personally never been a big fan of overly automated planes and flying it like a CRJ worked just fine - an enjoyable experience. That’s not me dismissing the missing FMS and Vnav at all - it is frustrating that it took this long to get it going. Something definitely went wrong there.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 A minor niggle for me, in the passenger cabin, we can't control the passenger cabin lighting liking dimming the cabin lights using the panel above the jump seat, in MSFS 2020 that panel worked flawlessly in MSFS 2024, not all.

July 17, 2025Jul 17 Regarding the VNAV, very soon they will release a big update with VNAV working. If I am not mistaken, it should be already in July. Intel i9-13900K, GIGABYTE GAMING Z790, GeForce RTX4090, 32GB

July 17, 2025Jul 17 No VNAV. FSS is still working on implementing a functional FMS. Airplane currently uses the (not very good) default MSFS FMS. Beta testing for the FMS via a very small group of selected participants was supposed to begin by end of July. No announcements yet as to whether that is actually going to happen. If it does occur, full rollout is still many months down the road. Given the length of time to implement an FMS (several years as noted), likely that a functioning VNAV will be still more years in the making. Possibly not happening at all. Its a great plane but without a decent working FMS, it sits on the shelf for many users.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 11 hours ago, zorro747 said: If I am not mistaken, it should be already in July Not even close. They haven’t even started beta for the LNAV portion. Only after it is complete will they begin VNAV testing. Starting to believe it will never happen. EddieKABQ
