Schöne Impressionen, Lothar. Ich bin da noch unentschlossen. Mit einem Preis zwischen 70-80 Euro habe ich gerechnet - in meiner Welt hätte es dafür aber alle vier/fünf Varianten gegeben. Fairerweise muss man sagen, dass Toliss die A319/320/321 plus Neos auch einzeln verkauft - deswegen fliege ich auch nur die A321ceo. Aber die E-Jets sind ja schon noch so ein kleiner Nischenflieger, da wäre ich gern mal die E175 der Dutchies geflogen, mit der E195 im Auftrag der SAS oder AUA unterwegs gewesen oder mit der E190 für Jetblue durch Amerika gegurkt. 139 USD ist mir der Spaß aber nicht wert...
Früher oder später werde ich aber bestimmt bei der E175 landen, wenn die ersten Bugs behoben und auch Features wie FMS Speed umgesetzt wurden. Dass die Holding-Funktion dagegen erstmal weiter unten auf der Agenda steht, finde ich bei solch einem Produkt aber schade. Zumindest kann man sich in diesen beiden Threads im X-Crafts Forum einen groben Eindruck von der Mühle verschaffen. Und das liest sich schon wesentlich positiver als die entsprechende Rubrik für die Rotate MD-11.
-
Zu warten ist sicher kein Nachteil. Es werden dann die Bugs beseitigt und es gibt neue Funktionen. Wahrscheinlich gibt es Ende des Jahres die ersten Rabattaktionen.
Der Fun Faktor ist jetzt schon vorhanden, weil die Immersion sehr gut ist vom Flugverhalten, Sound, Design und den Funktionen.
Das mit dem fehlenden Holding hätten die noch besser kommunizieren können.
Bisher kein Study Level, kann es aber noch werden.
-
Ich bin wirklich enttäuscht, was für den Preis geboten wird und ärgere mich, dass ich die Maschinen überhaupt gekauft habe. Bis jetzt habe ich keinen vernünftigen Flug von A nach B abschließen können, zu unvorhersehbar verhält sich die Maschine. Dinge, die in einem ersten Flug problemlos funktionierten - z.B. eine Route abzufliegen - funktionierten aus für mich nicht erkennbaren Gründen bei einem weiteren Flug nicht mehr. Meinen Wissenstand aus den SSG-Fliegern und aus der X-Crafts XP11 v2.5 konnte ich nicht auf die neue Version transferieren. Schon komisch, wie ich finde ...
-
Ich möchte hier keine Tirade gegen die X-Crafts E-Jets oder den Entwickler Marko Mamula lostreten, aber ich finde, dass diese Flieger viel zu früh zu einem unfairen Preis veröffentlicht wurden. Das Ding hat nicht mal im Ansatz auch nur 50% Systemtiefe. Hier wurde bemängelt, dass die Flieger noch keine Holdings fliegen können. Ich bin beispielsweise nicht mal in der Lage, so rudimentäre Handgriffe zu erledigen, wie den Speed-Selector von Manuell auf FMS zu verstellen. Kann sein, dass ich dafür zu doof bin. Wenn dem so ist, freue ich mich auf die Nachhilfe. Meines Erachtens ist das aber schlicht noch nicht implementiert. Ich habe mal einen Screenshot von meinem letzten Testflug zwischen EDDV und EDDH eingestellt. Da gab's eine Art Off-Set bei den Waypoints der Route: Der Flieger flog den Waypoint RARUP an, im PFD wurde aber noch ewig der bereits überflogene Waypoint DIRBO angezeigt. Was mich total nervt - und auch das hat was mit Systemtiefe zu tun - die Flieger oszillieren um die Querachse, dass man als realer Passagier mit ziemlicher Sicherheit die Air Sickness Bag bemühen müsste. Wenn man im Sinkflug nur ein wenig die Geschwindigkeit reduziert, wird der Pitch soweit vergrößert, dass man im besten Fall horizontal fliegt. Im schlechtesten Fall geht man in den Steigflug über. Auch die Motorleistung wird im Horizontalflug permanent hoch- und runtergeregelt, um die Geschwindigkeit zu halten. Vielleicht sollte sich Marko mal einen Entwickler hinzunehmen, der ein bisschen was von Regelungstechnik versteht, um das ganze System mal zu dämpfen. Ehrlich, sowas zu veröffentlich, ist dreist ...

Oha, du klingst ja äußerst frustriert.
Ich bin beispielsweise nicht mal in der Lage, so rudimentäre Handgriffe zu erledigen, wie den Speed-Selector von Manuell auf FMS zu verstellen. Kann sein, dass ich dafür zu doof bin. Wenn dem so ist, freue ich mich auf die Nachhilfe.
Das ist der Punkt, den ich oben schon angesprochen habe. FMS Speed ist bislang nicht implementiert, soll aber umgehend nachgereicht werden. Die Funktion führte bislang bei VNAV noch zu unschönem Verhalten. Das steht in ihren FAQs auf der Website, aber die muss man sich ja erstmal durchlesen... Interessant auch, wie man sich das schön redet, mit Verweis darauf, dass man ohne die Funktion erst einmal ein besseres Verständnis für die Geschwindigkeitssteuerung bekommt.

Hier wird dann ausführlich erklärt, wie das Geschwindigkeitsprofil aussehen soll.
-
bis auf das Problem mit dem Holding sollen die Bugs und auch weitere Systeme nachgereicht werden. Holding soll wohl für die sehr schwierig zu entwickeln sein.
Aber die Empfehlung ist da eher noch einige Zeit zu warten und auf die erste Rabattaktion. Bis dahin dürfte der Flieger auch auf einem guten Niveau sein.
Der Support von denen ist schon gut. Daher bin ich zu dem jetzigen Preis eingestiegen. Am besten die Probleme auf der Seite von denen melden.
Leider ist das bei fast allen Fliegern so, dass zu Beginn es noch einige Probleme gibt. Aber als Abzocke empfinde ich das jetzt nicht. Das wird schon noch werden und bisher macht der Flieger schon Spaß. Auch finde ich das Flugzeug selber sehr interessant.
Aber der Systementwickler bei denen ist sicher nicht mit dem genialen Entwickler der Hot Start C650 vergleichbar.
Auch kommt noch ein Flugzeug dazu. Bisher hatte ich auch keine Probleme bei den Flügen. Nutze den XP11. Gibt schon den ersten Patch.
Es gibt auch schon sehr viele Liveries.

Full v1.0.3 Release Notes 📋
HARDWARE FIXES
- Changed Throttle Retarding detection method to prevent previous hardware issues.
Replaced Speedbrakes joystick axis reference and remove inhibition if speed brake axis use is detected. - Command tooltips for the X-Plane Joystick menu revised to improve clarity
VNAV
- Added subsequent TOD indications on the VSD for any level-offs in STARs + PTH should now always resume descent after level off in the descent
Fixed: VNAV not engaging if AP not selected before 1200ft AGL - Improved TOD precision
- Implemented correct TOC/TOD visualizations for most possible flight plans (there are many weird once we had to account for!)
- Fixed: Route waypoint altitudes do not conform to climb or descent altitude profiles when before TOC or after TOD.
AUTOPILOT & AUTOTHROTTLE
- Fixed: Incorrect change from KTS to MACH at 30900ft [TEST: Confirm that the units always change correctly when crossing ~30900ft, and also that they do not change if you were already in the correct units, eg, if you were in kts above 30900ft, it should stay in kts]
- Fixed: If LNAV is deactivated, VNAV must switch to the associated manual mode. FPA now correctly syncs with the current flight path angle when the FPA button is pressed
- LNAV and VNAV will not disconnect if you disengage AP anymore
- Vertical modes are correctly updated when FD is toggled off.
Fixed: The user is not able to set the VS or other AP modes while on the ground - Added commands for changing the speed up and down by 1 or 10kts so that users can set it up on their hardware.
FLIGHT MODEL
- The flight Model was modified to prevent early rotation on takeoff in XP12
- Decreased the idle N1 slightly for the XP11 variants
- Flap extension times were reduced after evaluating some real-world videos. Flap 1 now takes 15 sec to extend instead of 20 seconds.
COCKPIT IMPROVEMENTS
- Fixed strange sharp edges around the buttons on the Guidance Panel and on the Minimums and FPA knobs
- Prevented the minimums manipulators to be manipulated by click and hold, because it resulted in values that were not 5 or 0, which was incorrect.
STANDBY DISPLAY
- Fixed: The Speed tape would jump to 420kts while the plane is stationary with strong winds.
PFD
- RETD Annunciator added again (Engages on landing when AT disengages). RETD ARMED is still pending
- The Magenta Diamond for VNAV vertical deviation will no longer appear after landing
- Fixed: BARO Minimums readout box was invisible when RA Minimums are at 0
- Fixed FPA cyan lines being visible after changing to PTH
- Removed AP engaged flasher, as there is no flashed on the real plane.
- AT Disconnect Flashing annunciator corrected color from red to green
MFD
- Improved navigation between different MFD pages and dropdowns
- Fixed: When the APU is running and the APU valve is then closed, the APU valve stays open on the Anti Ice page, but closes correctly on the ECS page
EICAS
- Fixed incorrect occurrence of the ENG TLA NOT TOGA CAS message. It is now only visible if AT is armed, and you are going faster than 60kts. If you see this message, push the throttles fully forward on takeoff which will engage the AutoThrottle
EFB
- Use the ICAO code instead of the identifier to search airports. This should fix some airports not being found on the EFB [NOTE]: If this still happens to you, please quit X-Plane, then navigate to …\X-Plane\Output\caches\xcrafts, and delete the airports.db folder. It will be recreated automatically next time you start X-Plane. This should resolve this issue
- Fix bug in touch drag detection
FMS
- Extra characters lingering from previous waypoint ID's on the MFD Progress bar
- East and West were swapped on the PILOT WAYPOINT pages
- Fixed RTE page - navigating back to RTE during some MOD conditions would show the departure airport as series of blue squares. Airports now have their own MOD status to keep things correctly displayed if they are being edited. Also found some other page navigation and MOD status quirks that needed fixing as well.
- Fixed Mach display for TOC/TOD modified ROUTE waypoints on the FPLAN pages as well as corrected the display format for all waypoints whose speed is displayed in Mach units anywhere in the plugin. The correct format is .nnM as verified with FMS training software.
- Added climb (CLB) and descent (DES) data for TOC/TOD modified ROUTE waypoints on the FPLAN pages.
- Fixed wrong runway on FPLAN missed approach page 1.
- Fixed next waypoint and ETA not updating correctly on MFD.
- Fixed indication of cruise Mach on FPLAN page 1, row 1
- Fixed - overlapping indications of other vertical modes when PTH is engaged at TOD.
- Fixed - VAP airspeed entry should be cyan, not magenta.
- Updated our navaid finder to prevent TACAN's from being rejected as a procedure waypoint
- Fixed FMS filenames truncated on Linux
- Fixed MFD Waypoint time / Clock Disagreement
- Zulu time is correctly displayed on the PROGRESS page
- Fix transponder readout to permit leading zeros for single-digit values like "0003"
PLUGINS
- STARTER switches and EMERG LT will now be in the correct OFF position in a cold & dark state.
Fixed: Mysterious CTDs when loading the plane for some users - Revised logging.
- Fixed: Engine Covers are not displayed in XP12, but they work fine in XP11
LIGHTS IN X-PLANE 12
- Fixed back nav lights on the extended winglets of the E175. They were red, but are now white as they should be
- Fixed back nav lights on the E190/E195 not being visible. They were tied to the strobe lights, not the nav lights.
- Increased the overall intensity of all nav lights by 20%
- Adjusted the intensity of the strobe lights to match real values
- The back NAV and Strobe lights now shine on the winglets as on the real planes.
EXTERIOR MODEL
- Fixed the E190/E195 engine pylon going through the flap when the flaps were extended
- Improved winglex on all variants. The wings now bend higher on takeoff, as lift increases. Please note that due to a bug in X-Plane, the lift forces are not effective in Replay mode, so the winglex in replay mode will not look exactly as it does in real-time. This was reported to Laminar Research.
- Moved the engine cones for the E170 and E175 a bit closer to the engines, so that they do not intersect with the Simple Ground Service vehicles
SOUNDS
- Added cabin mains ground contact.
- Added cabin nose ground contact.
- Replaced cockpit mains ground contact.
- Added cockpit nose ground contact.
- Added "autobrake" aural.
- Installed additional insulation under the floor near the wing root. This has muffled the rather noisy electric hydraulic pump by about 6dB and brought the pitch down slightly.
- Fixed interior electric hydraulic pump shutdown, wasn't playing properly.
- Verified that all instances of the "langing gear" typo have been corrected to "landing gear".
-

- Fixed double text on the main landing gear door. Previously it showed LINEAGE 1000 over the correct name of the aircraft.
SOUNDS
- Rebuilt exterior sound routing.
- Environmental sounds now bleed into the cockpit/cabin.
- Rain and storms are now audible.
- Very subtle environmental white noise is now audible.
- Default X-Plane environment volume slider still works.
VR
- Added a manipulator for MAX REVERSE THRUST.
NAVMAP
- Use a separate airport cache directory for the map. Fixes the "airport not found" issues and "cache corrupted" messages in Log.txt.
- Fixes intermittent crash on exit due to map thread not being killed before releasing resources.
- Fix route and map data orientation in plan mode (plane was using magnetic north while the route was using true north).
EFB
- Use a separate airport cache directory for the EFB. Fixes the "airport not found" issues and "cache corrupted" messages in Log.txt.
- Corrected max E175 MTOW value in the EFB.
- Fix typo in perf DB for E190/E195/Legacy which caused the Vr to be lower than V1.
- Add improved logging on input error to diagnose stack overflow errors on some systems.

Danke fürs Teilen, Lothar (auch des Toliss-Updates). Habe mir die E175 im Black Friday Sale gekauft und bin sehr auf den Flieger gespannt. Ich hoffe, dass ich im Januar mal die Zeit finde, mich mit dem kleinen Jet auseinander zu setzen.

Heute bekam ich ne Email von X-Crafts, die E-Jets inkl. der Lineage 1000 sind als Beta in v2 über den SkunkcraftsUpdater verfügbar, installiert habe ich es schon, aber noch nicht geflogen.
