Released a year and a half ago, the progress on this aircraft has can be summarised in one word: Disappointment. Visually, the aircraft is stunning, with amazing texturing and details. The sounds are also extremely accurate with cabin announcements as an added bonus. I understand this is still a work in progress but the lack of VNAV is a huge let down. Not only that but even on LNAV the aircraft is unable to properly follow a flight plan, taking extremely wide turns for ones that are very simple. The autopilot is not as good as it could be either. Engaging it after takeoff results into the plane pitching down to -3000 fpm. It takes several tries to engage it for the plane to climb.
It may be a work in progress that is still missing some things and or needing more work, but for what has been developed so far you get a very good product.
The aircraft are extremely detailed with amazing textures. True eye candy.
The flight model is perhaps the area I’m need of the most work but even as is it feels good.
I am enjoying flying these quite a bit as is. It’s certainly better than the other E Jets available by a huge margin.
