I had to bind another key to retract the gear, oddly.

Thanks a lot, that helps indeed 🙂

 

Hi All. My issue is that I don't have any of the buttons functioning on the cdu and I cant change any of the mfd displays, so for me right now the aircraft is not flyable. I really like the look of this plane and I think it has potential long term. So the question is, am I doing something wrong on start up? Could someone point me in the right direction. I've had no reply to a direct request from fss.

Thanks Guys.

Malcolm.

Tried reinstalling? 

That worked.  Thank you.  

Anyone know how to remove add when you press Fly Now?

you can try it out

 

Thanks I downloaded the experimental and spent hours figuring out the MCDU and Simbrief. Got a good flight in last night Im definitely keeping the experimental! 

Got it last night, but I've been unable to update the navdata, it's stuck in 2603. I try to use their Updater, but, as soon as I approve connection to my Navigraph account, the Updater CTDs. When I reopen the Updater, I have to authenticate Navigraph again. Obviously, I can't see any runways or procedures in the MCDU. The only Embraer experience I had was the Wilco/Feelthere ones. How did you manage to update yours? In the base version I can't either see any runways or procedures (but I guess it uses MSFS navdata).

Also, for the throttle, I have it binded in MSFS to Throttle Axis (inverted, because of some quirks with VKB gear). Somehow, it always gets stuck, despite calibrating it. How did you do it? I'm not able to set it into TO/GA. The throttle issue happens in both experimental and base versions.

Added behavior differences between base and experimental versions

Found it: for some strange reason, FSS doesn't like to use Throttle Axis, even if I use a single lever. I had to create a new profile in MSFS2024, and map the same throttle lever to both Throttle Axis 1&2 (0-100%), and then it finally worked.

Now I have to deal with the navdata: base version reports correct AIRAC, but I can't see any procedures. Experimental version, apparently I'm doomed until FSS allows Navigraph Navdata (the non-Ultimate) users to update ours.

After watching some YouTube tutorials, I find the problem is located between stick and seat: looks like the procedures I applied years ago with the Wilco E-jets are not the same as the FSS ones 🙈

With that, I was able to do a flight with the basic version (replacing VNAV with FLCH for climb, and FPA for descent). For $28, I liked it. That will have to do until FSS fixes their Updater for the Experimental version.
