Embraer E-Jets

X-Crafts documents autopilot disconnection from manual pitch trim or stick-shaker activation, and uses X-Plane's control-wheel-steering facility for Touch Control Steering. The reviewed release does not implement several trim cutouts and column-disconnect functions. The corresponding cockpit hardware is visible but inactive in the documented version.

X-Crafts says the MSFS E-Jets share its 3D visuals with the X-Plane aircraft, while different teams develop the products. Flightsim Studio is responsible for the MSFS systems, FMS, avionics, flight model, tablet and sound, so the X-Plane manual does not establish those features for MSFS.

The EFB accepts payload or zero-fuel weight and fuel, either entered manually or fetched from a SimBrief plan. Selecting LOAD PLANE then applies the resulting load sheet to the simulated aircraft.

The takeoff and landing pages calculate performance data. The manual describes sending the speeds to the FMS, then accepting them through its DLK page; calculating them in the tablet alone is a separate step.

The released Early Access range includes E170/175, E190/195 and E190/195 Freighter packages. The current stable build uses a WASM-based MCDU compatible with both MSFS versions. FSS still identifies work remaining before version 1.0; native MSFS 2024 development is a separate future project.

Blackburn had spent twelve years in another career while wondering whether she had left it too late to become a pilot. Encouragement from a woman captain helped her commit to the change. Selling a house and taking unpaid leave made intensive training possible; she then spent five years instructing before joining an airline. The E190 job combined family preparation before work with two to four sectors, shared between the captain and first officer.

A wet walkaround in Billund began a day of watching the clock. Most passengers had onward connections at Amsterdam, making a small departure delay matter to people beyond the flight deck. A short turnaround there led to Helsinki, followed by the return to Amsterdam and the prospect of going home for the weekend. Tim found room for a personal routine during the longer cruise: making coffee with a hand-pumped espresso maker from his flight bag.
