I think it's great! But as Keith pointed out it's only for fs9 I've been refusing to use the Feelthere embrarer on CVA flights until I can get my hands on a CVA repaint.
Please Keith?

(next time you're in Edm. I'll buy ya a beer in the local BP's pub)

You're looking for the 170/190 V2 for FSX?

I'll pay for a couple of those beers! Seriously.

Yes, this is for the Embraer 170, from the feelThere's E-Jet package.

But it's not v.2. Volume 2 is the 175 and 195. Paints for those will not work on the 170 or 190 according to the feelThere forum gurus.

Keith: If your pulling out the paint brush for the 170/190 fsx - would it be too much trouble to do up the fs9 version also?

Cheers Bill (suckin up) lol

Keith,
wasn't really sure if you were asking me if I was looking for the 170 for FSX but in case you were:
No, I looked at this picture and thought it was the erj145 v2 from feelthere for FSX

Anyone want to tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm climbing out of CYUL in the 170. The speed won't go up. Maybe the climb is too steep, but it doesn't seem too steep.

This is my first try with a FP for LNAV and VNAV that is supposed to guide the AC. I put in the waypoints on the multi yesterday, but then just used it as a guide and set the HDG bug myself. This flight, the AC turned right off 06R (the WP, HOKKE, is NW up past Mirabel) and headed West, not to HOKKE and not to the HDG bug.

This pic is taken shortly after I set YOW as the next waypoint because it wasn't going to make the turn to HOKKE. When I put YOW next, it still didn't turn, so I hit the HDG button and it turned to the HDG bug, which I don't want, so I hit NAV again but it won't follow the route again.

I am using FD, and the TO was good using TOGA. It initially went to about 180 kts, but then slowed down.

Thanks

Hi Rob,
To engage the LNAV in this plane you need to first be on an intercept heading with the purple flight line. Then Arm the LNAV and it will engage when the plane hits the path. You either turn manually or use the heading bug to establish the intercept.

For speed control on take off, click in the area around the speed set knob until the speed read-out on the left (your pic=215-blue) turns purple (blue is manual speed set). Then before take-off turn on the AT (which you did). The plane should gradually accelerate to 240 up to 10.000 then increase to 290 until cruise level. At cruise the speed will set to the value in the FMC under Perf/Cruise. I usually discover this speed to be lower than I want so I set it to somewhere around .70 or .72 when I reach cruise.
You also can turn on the TCAS in the FMC under Radio.

Other notes - this plane does not like sharp turns to intercept the localizers and will sometimes over-steer. I find best intercept is around 160-170 knots and establish 30 deg or less before the LOC engages. The autothrottle will disengage at touchdown, I usually have speed set at 126-130 and turn off the autopilot around 300-500 ft. The plane can auto-land, but I've been getting rough ones so I don't use it much.

Others may have more to add and different ways of doing things.


Hope this helps. Happy flying !

Barry, I was worried that my post was just a mess of confusion, but I must be a better writer than I thought, because these are exactly the points I was looking for. Maybe you deserve some credit too for interpretation....

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Rob: I notice that you are in app mode. The aircraft is looking for a ILS. You also do not have the fms selected as your nav source. There are many differences with this aircraft and the Boeing system that you are used to. Not sure what your work schedule is, but I fly most mornings. If you would like to join me, I am sure we can set up a time to fly together. Morning is nice - not many controllers working - good time for teaching. Probably save you a whole lot of frustration. lol

cheers Bill

Thanks!

Bill, I'm at work 9-6, and your mornings are my afternoons (you're in BC right?). Maybe this winter on a weekend when I'm snowed in, and you are rained in! Besides, I know this is part of the fun!

You both mentioned the FMS, so let's see if i can figure that out.

Sitting on the runway, I open the FMC and set my position and put in my FP, including takeoff RWY. Then I set my flaps and pitch, press AT to turn it on, then turn the SPEED knob until a good speed is in the annunciator, but that speed value is blue/cyan, not purple/magenta.

So I switch the SPEED knob to FMS from MAN - still blue/cyan.

So I try FD on - no change.

I see no way to get that speed indication to purple/magenta. What am I missing? Something in the FMC? (like SPEED maybe? )

AT this point, I am able to spool up to 60% and hit the TOGA spot and take the brakes off and I take off no problem. So everything is set for that, but the speed target indicator is still blue/cyan.

Thanks

Not in BC, Rob - in Sudbury. Just like BC, though. lol

Sudbury. Well, a little different.

I found out how to get that speed indicator to magenta. I filled in the FP properly this time, WITH fuel, and when done, I was able to get magenta by using the FMS switch and AT.

I also have the waypoints in the vertical profile now. I'm all set!

I agree with you, trying to figure things out with new aircraft systems is the fun part. You get a sense of accomplishment when you finally get things to work. Sure can get you frustrated at times though. Have fun.

Frustrating is right, I spent all day today with the manual open trying to get the ERJ145 to fly to a waypoint on the FMS.
It did finally work, I don't know what I did as I flew 8 passes starting about 20 miles away from YDC, and pointing right at it
It still wouldn't hold the course to it. the last time it went to YDC then change course and was fine all the way to Kelowna. The really big problem I have with this aircraft is there is no Speed hold in level flight, and you can't take your eyes off the speed at all, and very touchy.
going to check out some tutorials on Youtube tomorrow.

Wilco/Feel ERJ145-ER V2



Wilco/Feel ERJ145-ER V2 As you can see the door is down, after about 10 attempts to get the thing in the air, the co-pilot was getting the hell out of there.



Wilco/Feel ERJ145-ER V2 They also have the worst paint kits out there. The logo on the left is mirrored.



MD-11 F with GE engines, I have switches on the panel to open the doors on all versions.



MD-11 ER with GE engines trying out different looks, It's a little too shiny and the faded map in the blue is hard to see.



MD-11 ER with PW engines I think the GE engines look better.

Cal,

Last screenshot of MD-11 passenger plane is super gorgeous and HOT. Is that livery for freeware Overland MD-11?
