The developers over at FSS have rolled out a substantial new update for its E-Jets series, bringing the aircraft product to version 0.9.29. This update introduces the highly anticipated freighter variant expansion. It is available at no extra cost to customers who own both the E170/175 and E190/195 packages.
Key features from the update
New Freighter Expansion
One of the standout features of the E-Jets Update 0.9.29 is the introduction of a freighter expansion. This new feature is available at no additional cost to customers who own both the E170/175 and E190/195 packages. The freighter expansion offers a new dimension to the E-Jets series, allowing virtual pilots to simulate cargo operations. This addition significantly enhances the versatility of the E-Jets fleet, providing users with more varied and engaging flying experiences.
EICAS Migration to WASM
Another major improvement in this update is the migration of the EICAS to the WASM platform. By transitioning the EICAS system to WASM, FlightSim Studio aims to improve the performance and standardization of the system across different aircraft models. This migration ensures that the EICAS operates more efficiently and reliably, contributing to a smoother overall simulation experience.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
In addition to the major features, the E-Jets Update 0.9.29 includes a variety of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. These enhancements are designed to refine the user experience and address any issues reported by the community. Some of the notable improvements include:
FMS Speed Mode Enhancements
The Flight Management System (FMS) speed mode has been improved to offer more precise control over the aircraft’s speed. This update allows pilots to manage their speed more accurately, enhancing the realism and control of the aircraft in sim.
GSX Configurations
GSX configurations have also been refined in this update. These improvements provide smoother interactions with airport services, enhancing the ground handling and overall airport experience for virtual pilots.
EICAS Message Updates
The EICAS messages have been updated to deliver clearer and more accurate information to pilots. These updates ensure that pilots receive the most relevant and precise alerts during their flights, improving situational awareness and immersion.
Future E-Jets Development Plans
FlightSim Studio has also outlined its plans for future development. The team is currently focusing on migrating the MCDU to WASM. This migration is part of their ongoing efforts to improve the performance and reliability of the system. By continuing to leverage WASM technology, FlightSim Studio aims to deliver a more robust and efficient simulation experience for its users.
Upcoming Showcase at FSExpo
In addition to their ongoing development work, FlightSim Studio is preparing to showcase a new project at the upcoming Flight Sim Expo (FSExpo) in Las Vegas. This event, which attracts flight simulation enthusiasts from around the world, will provide an exciting platform for FlightSim Studio to unveil its latest innovations. Attendees can look forward to learning more about the new project and the future direction of the company.
To conclude, the release of E-Jets Update 0.9.29 represents a significant milestone for FlightSim Studio. With the introduction of the freighter expansion, the migration of the EICAS to WASM, and a range of quality-of-life improvements, this update delivers substantial enhancements to the E-Jets series.
