The developer FlightSimStudio AG has shared a new update on their E-Jets series for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This update follows a long period of silence from the side of the developer, and unveils important information about the future of this narrow-body aircraft.
For around three months, the custom Flight Management System has been in testing and is going to replace the default-based FMS that is currently available in the aircraft. The FlightSimStudio team has gathered a lot of valuable data from more than 80 testers, resulting in around 350 code changes.
At the moment, the E-Jets series is fully flyable in standard operations, with all important FMS pages functional. LNAV and VNAV FMS systems are now fully implemented, and the LNAV is working well in any given conditions. Direct-to function is also working properly, alongside SIDs and STARs, which have been reworked.
Despite VNAV being available, the VNAV autopilot system is still being implemented. This is due to the fact that the FSS E-Jets were using the default MSFS autopilot, which doesn’t have VNAV. This resulted in the team needing to completely rework the autopilot system from scratch.
In the coming days, more testers are going to be invited into the beta testing, and the team aims to release an experimental version with a fully functional autopilot by December of this year, with the first official stable release coming as soon as possible afterwards.
