Game changer

 

The E-Jets Family for X-Plane 11 & X-Plane 12 sets a new standard for these regional jets. Dozens of real E-Jet pilots were involved in the development of these products, and it took us nearly nine years to gain the knowledge and skills needed to create these unprecedented add-ons.

 
 

For the first year, you are eligible for a 15% discount!

The E-Jets Family add-ons are brand new products and are not a free update of our previous E-Jets.

However, as a courtesy to our supporters, we are offering all the customers of the E175 v2.5 or E195 v2.5 a time-limited discount toward buying the full E-Jets Family.

Explore our interactive galleries which show the difference between the older and new E-Jets below.

Prepare for takeoff.

The E-Jets Family for X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 features four regional jets, all unique in their own way. Dozens of real E-Jet pilots were involved in the development of these products, and it took us nearly nine years to gain the knowledge and skills needed to create these unprecedented add-ons.

We have also been working on the Lineage 1000. This product has not been finished yet and it will be released later as the fifth member of the E-Jets Family. All owners of the full E-Jets Family will then receive the Lineage 1000 free of charge as part of a future update.

Payware vs.
Free E-Jets

 

Our Freeware E-Jets are a very basic rendition of the real aircraft, relying mostly on the default X-Plane systems. You will have a lot of fun, however they are far from the real E-Jets.

Our payware E-Jets provide the exclusive opportunity to experience truly genuine E-Jets, complete with the Authentic FMS and VNAV and myriad of automated systems that have made them favorites among real-world pilots.

 

We built the new E-Jets Family from scratch, using everything we learned from developing the popular ERJ Family. Our team put in thousands of hours to make sure these planes are the best they can be. And we're committed to continuing to improve these products for years to come, so you can enjoy even more realistic and thrilling flights.

Optimized Performance



Smooth and immersive framerates are crucial to the flight simulation experience. That's why we went above and beyond to develop innovative solutions to deliver stunning details without putting additional strain on your computer.

Enjoy striking visuals without compromising performance


We understand the importance of maintaining high framerates for a truly immersive experience. That's why we developed new processes to ensure that our incredibly detailed models and complex textures don't compromise your system's performance.

We were able to dramatically increase texture resolution in the cockpit without putting additional strain on your computer. You can learn more about this breakthrough in one of our Not-A-Newsletters.

Feature List

Explore all features by clicking on the sections below. You can also watch our Cockpit Features Introduction video or download the User Manuals to see a detailed and comprehensive description of all features and systems.

Systems & Autopilot

  • All the main aircraft systems were developed based on the real aircraft and from the input of real E-Jet pilots.
  • All autopilot modes are included, including LNAV and VNAV navigation based on the real aircraft.
  • This is a fantastic opportunity for you to expand your knowledge of systems since they are quite different from Airbus or Boeing.

Warning: FMS Speed is still work in progress and it is not yet implemented. This feature will be added as soon as it is developed fully.

Please visit our FAQ to review which autopilot features are not currently implemented.

Avionics

  • Exact one-to-one high-resolution rendition of the PFD, MFD and EICAS screens, incorporating the exact colors and fonts.
  • All Flight Annunciators are included with dedicated flashers upon engagement.
  • The MFD includes a custom NAV Map, a Vertical Situation Display, and all the synoptic pages used for systems overview.
  • Correct Startup Sequence with screens and instruments loading based on the loads on electrical buses.
  • Two versions of avionics are available for the PFD (Load 25 & Load 27).


Warning: Please note that the CAS system (a section on the EICAS which displays messages related to the CAUT and MASTER warnings) is not fully implemented in this version.

You will get around 30 most commonly seen messages, however, not all of them will be coupled with the CAUT or MASTER warning, and there are still many less common messages missing.

We need to develop this system from scratch in order to fully implement it and this is a very time consuming task, so in the meantime we have a "lite" version of CAS that displays messages a pilot would normally see on a standard flight.

3D Visuals

  • We worked for over 2000 hours to perfectly replicate the interior and exterior of the aircraft down to the smallest details. You will find details from pins that indicate how worn the brakes are, to the zip-ties holding cables in place under the glareshield.
  • We used colors scans to match the real colors of the cockpit and avionics and 3D scans to verify the dimensions of the interior and exterior of the aircraft.
  • In one of our Not-A-Newsletters, we explain why saying "we are using 4K textures" is completely irrelevant. So we will not say that, even though we are of course using them.

    Instead, we can tell you that we spent months developing procedural processes that allowed us to give you crisp and detailed textures all around you in the cockpit without increasing the load on your system. Good performance was always the cornerstone of the development.
  • There is no point for us to describe something that you can see for free. So simply download the free preview model!

FLIGHT MODEL

  • The flight model was developed by X-Aerodynamics, the industry leader for simulating precise aerodynamics.
  • The flight characteristics and performance was tested and approved by real E-Jet pilots.
  • The flight model was optimized for both X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12.

FMS

The Flight Managements Systems (FMS) is the brain of the E-Jets that ties the avionics and autopilot together.

AUTHENTIC FMS

  • Functions and feels very much like the FMS on the real plane.
  • The Authentic FMS emulates version 27
  • Includes all pages required for full flight planning. The list of these pages was specified by a real E-Jets instructor working for a US-based operator.
  • Allows the user to fully program flight plans including SIDs, STARs, Airways or setting PERF data.
  • Some pages may not be operational or are reserved for future development.
  • Please refer to our Demo Flight page for in depth instructions on the FMS operation.

RNAV Approaches: In the real E-Jets, RNP approaches would be flown using the Glide Path (GP) autopilot vertical mode, however this mode has not yet been implemented.

In the meantime, RNAV approaches can be flown by keeping VNAV engaged as the vertical mode all the way down to the minimums.

Not implemented yet: HOLDs and procedural turns are not yet implemented. We are hoping to add these features in a future update.

EFB

Our new custom Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) is a tablet that gives you access to:

  • Door control & Ground Services
  • Weight & Balance
  • Takeoff Performance Calculations
  • Landing Performance Calculations
  • Checklists
  • Avitab

Watch the video below to see all the features that are included in our EFB.

Auto-Updater

  • We are utilizing the SkunkCrafts Auto Updater. The Auto Updater makes it very easy to detect and download new updates all directly through X-Plane. This way you don’t ever have to worry about missing an update again!
  • Every time you load the plane, you’ll be notified if a new version is available and if yes, you’ll be able to get the update with just a few clicks directly through X-Plane.
  • You can find simple instructions here

LIGHTING & ANIMATIONS

  • All exterior & interior lights were implemented and fine tuned for both X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12. That includes all cockpit lights, cabin lights, sterile cockpit lights, galley lights, emergency lights and more.
  • Countless animations all around the cockpit and cabin. Naturally we animated all the doors, cockpit seats, jump seat, or windows.
  • We really went the extra mile, so you'll even see that the seatbelts in the cockpit or loose items in the cabin like the trolleys or curtains will be shaking during turbulence.

Sounds

  • The next generation of our custom FMOD package brings complex and true-to-life sounds which elevate the audio experience to a new level of immersion.
  • The custom sound package includes sounds that were recorded on the real jets.
  • All switches, buttons, levers and controls produce unique sounds. Even similar switches do not produce the same sound, as is the case in real life.
  • Extensive work has been done on the engine sounds, which are crucial for an immersive experience.
  • Cabin announcements are included and can be disabled through the settings menu.

Below is a version of the trailer without any music, allowing you to hear what the E-Jets Family sounds like in X-Plane.

VR

  • All cockpit manipulators have been fine tuned for a smooth VR experience and you will be able to access all parts of the cockpit, including the FMS and EFB.

Plugins

  • We have our Custom Settings menu through which you can configure your preferences, like weight units, if you want wheel covers or not and much more.
  • These settings will be saved in a configuration file and remembered between flights.


Additionally, the jets are comapatible with these popular free plugins:

It all comes down to the right feeling


We believe that the little things matter. That's why we spent hundreds of hours perfecting even the smallest details in our products. You might not notice them all, but they make a big difference in taking you from just playing a game to feeling like you're really there.
 
 
 
 

Liveries

 
 
All products come with the eight liveries (above) included. We've also partnered with a team of highly skilled artists to create many more stunning liveries for our initial release. Plus, there are now 220+ additional liveries crafted by the community . You'll find all available liveries in the list below.
 
 
 
 

Ever wondered how Liveries are made?

It’s a really interesting process and I made a quick timelapse video with commentary to show you how I made the United Express Livery from start to finish. You can watch it here.

Compatibility

  • Windows, Mac (M1 Apple Silicon) and Linux compatible
  • X-Plane 11.50+ as well as X-Plane 12 compatible*

  • * The first few initial updates will still be X-Plane 11 compatible, however after a certain point we will no longer support the X-Plane 11 version, and development will continue only on the X-Plane 12 version.

    Pilot Testimonials

    As a senior captain with more than 10,000 hours of experience in the actual airplane, I find myself comfortable in the cockpit, especially when I fly in VR. The flight deck is precisely modeled, and the view is an accurate representation of reality.

    Marko and his team have done an outstanding job of replicating the experience of operating this splendid aircraft. Whether you are a flight simulation enthusiast or a real-world pilot who wants a taste of flying an Embraer from the pilot’s seat, the X-Crafts E-Jets Family is the closest you can get to the real deal.
    — Johnatan G.
    My name is Jose Perez, E175 Captain/Check Airman for a Regional Airline based in the USA. I have been working with X-Crafts as a Beta tester for this project since April 2022 and I can say that the E-Jets Family will be a game changer for the X-Plane community. Systems, visuals, sounds, authentic MCDU, the way the plane flies, makes me feel I’m in the cockpit flying the actual plane.
    — Jose Perez
    As a current Embraer E-Jet pilot with over 2500 hours on type, I can confidently say that this simulator is the real deal. With highly accurate models of the aircraft interior, a genuine Flight Management System (FMS) and autopilot features including lateral and vertical navigation guidance, and realistic systems, you’ll feel like you’re actually in the cockpit of this of the real aircraft.

    Whether you’re a real pilot or a hobbyist, the X-Crafts E-Jet flight simulator is the perfect way to experience the thrill of flying an Embraer E-Jet without leaving the ground.
