I've been looking at this, Barry. Do you know what the difference is between this and the ERJ 175/195 v2?

It's here http://www.feelthere.com/2010/22_embraer-e-jets-v-2-embraer-175-and-195.html?product_id=22

Edit: GREAT pics by the way. How'd you keep the resolution? Format? They're not JPG are they?

Rob,

From what I can gather, I think the 175/195 is just newer with minor improvements and some more goodies. I am kind of surprised the Wilco Site still offers both versions, but I guess they are different airplanes-maybe the 175/195's are a bit bigger? I'm not planning to get the 175/195 just because I didn't see enough difference to have both. If I were buying for the first time, I would get the newer 175/195. I like this plane over the ERJ135/145 V2 and the CRJ because it has the full featured FMC and autothrottle like the Boeings-Level-D and the PIC 737. The PIC 737 has been out a long time, and I think this one handles better. It's also supported with 64 bit, although I've never had any problems with the older planes. And the vertical profile guage is very,very nice to fly with.

PS - I can't remember what I did with those pics. I probably fiddled with enlarging and sharpening some. It was nothing special because I'm stupid about photo programs.

The images are jpg files stored on Imageshack as the host...

Some people don't realize that you can change the quality settings when you store / save a jpg and by default most programs store at around 80% quality but you can tweak that back to 100.

Looks like the difference is as follows:
(both are "version 2")

170-190 is http://www.feelthere.com/2010/40_e-jets-series-embraer-170-and-190.html?product_id=40
175-195 is http://www.feelthere.com/2010/22_embraer-e-jets-v-2-embraer-175-and-195.html?product_id=22

170/190__________________vs_______175/195
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FMS with vertical planning___vs_______regular FMS
_________________________vs_______Call! and Map! simulations
_________________________vs_______HUD for 2d pit

Call! may be fun and useful (see way down in this article - http://simflight.com/2010/01/24/review-feelthere-erj-145v2/).
Map! is a map like you get in the Px seats. Doesn't seem too useful.

Edit: I think I'll go for the 170/190.

A couple days ago I figured I needed a Lower Class Plane.... So I purchased the Wilco ERJ 135LR/145LR. The detail they put into the Aircraft is amazing. It flies nice.
The FMC uses the FlightSimulators Flight plans to start, then once you entered the data needed for ALT the Flight plan can be saved and reused, so you don't need the download the Navigraph AIRACs
It doesn't seem as bad as the PMDG MD11 for FSX for IQs needed (Still haven't completed a flight in that one) but there is a huge manual to read. So far I give it a thumbs up.

The CONS (so far)
Baggage cart goes to the wrong side of the aircraft when the cargo door is open
Not all the cockpit buttons work, they are just pictures.
When switching to the HUD the panel switcher disappears and you have to use the menu to get back.

There is a paint kit for it, so when I get a minute I'll giterdone.

Outside is very detailed


The air stairs worked realistically


The lights have very good textures


The landing gear components look very good, even have bugs and grime


Detailed Reversers


Cockpit is very nice










Even the Passenger compartment is well done.




Exits look good


Seatbelts nicely crossed


Where's the waitress?

Great! I have both these planes and love em. Great to see you guys climbing into some nice airplanes. We can always use some paints and more Class 2 routes too.

"Lower class"! Yep - I'm tired of the life in my 767 with Grey Poupon on my ham sandwiches! Time to mix with the working people.

I was absolutely gob smacked with the textures on this thing too. They do NOT show up in these images (can't save my jpgs at a higher resolution, Darryl, without photo software - I use Paint only).

I don't know if paints for these birds are interchangable (between 145, 170, 175, etc), but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Barry, the reason I went for class 2 instead of the Flight 1 MD Super 80, is because we have 300 (!) class 2 routes. And I figure I can get credit for class 3 flights if I use a lower class on multis.

Time to hit the books!

Check out these football club paints...

problem is that we have TOO MANY class 2 routes and too many class 4 routes but TOO FEW class 3 routes.

Check out the following:

Nice piece of photo software to do some basic (i.e. - convert from format to alternate format, resize photos, etc).

Cheers!

Thanks!

Keith, that doesn't look like the 145 anymore!!!!!
