X-Crafts - Embraer E190 2.0 XP

Easily fly like a real pilot with true-to-life E-Jet automation!
The E-Jets Family 2.0 for X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 is the perfect choice if you want to experience a truly immersive airline simulation without complicated setups or a steep learning curve. And with real-world routes in under an hour, you can complete several full flights every day.

The developer team works with real pilots to authentically replicate the famous E-Jet systems, which fully automate many of the tasks you would have to manage manually on other airliners. This reduces your workload, making you feel like a seasoned pilot on every flight.

SIGNATURE E-JET SYSTEMS
The E190 is favoured by pilots world wide for its automatic systems and autopilot functions. X-Crafts developed these with real pilots to authentically replicate the feel and operation of the aircraft throughout the fight:

• Automatically guided takeoff sequence with LNAV & VNAV capture
• FMS Speed manages all the speeds throughout the flight automatically, following speed schedules and any speed restrictions
• Authentic FMS ensures precise guidance for LNAV & VNAV following any altitude restrictions
• VNAV calculates the ideal TOD and starts the descent automatically.
• ILS Autotune and the autopilot guarantee effortless ILS or RNAV approaches every time.
• Aircraft systems and interactions were developed based on input of real E-Jet pilots, from the correct startup sequence to the FIRE test before starting the APU
• High-resolution and accurate avionics displays with customizable pop-ups for multiple monitors.

NEW SPECIAL FEATURES

• Ambient Light Modifier fixes Dark Lighting issue in XP 12 - First of its kind!
• Integrated Noise Cancelling Effect selectively filters specific frequencies, precisely replicating the experience of real noise cancellation.

VERSION 2.0.0 (Released on the 14th March 2025)

NEW AMBIENT LIGHTING MODIFIER

• Ambient Lighting setting in the EFB dropdown with three options: Default, Dynamic, and Natural.
• Default: Ambient lighting is based on the cockpit only. Reflections show cockpit instruments. Cockpit is dark.
• Dynamic: Ambient lighting updates with location. This should improve cabin lighting and reflections.
• Natural: Ambient lighting is based only on the exterior of the aircraft, resulting in brighter lighting throughout the airplane, but no reflections. But this does make the cockpit MUCH brighter.

NEW CUSTOM AUTOBRAKE SYSTEM

• NEW: Autobrake systems should now work as on the real aircraft.
• You’ll notice that the HI setting will slow the aircraft down a lot faster than previously.
• Whenever any brakes are manually applied on landing, the switch will turn to OFF and you’ll hear an aural warning “AUTOBRAKE”.

NEW CUSTOM FUEL SYSTEM

• Added: Fully custom fuel system:
• Crossfeed Switch:
• LOW1: Feeds the left engine from the right tank
• OFF: Each engine is fed from its tank
• LOW2: Feeds the right engine from the left tank
• AC Pumps:
• Enabled only when the AC bus is online
• Automatic mode operates based on system needs
• DC Pump:
• Provides fuel to the APU when no AC power is available
• Automatically enabled under specific conditions
• Auxiliary Fuel Transfer (Lineage only):
• Operates symmetrically from auxiliary tanks to main tanks based on flight phase and tank quantities.
• Improved: Fuel transfer logic, including pressure differences for transfer at higher altitudes

FMS

• Improved: FMS RESET function with better reinitialization of FMS Speed, ILS Autotune, ILS approach, RNAV Glidepath approach, and major VNAV functions to address VNAV issues on second legs.
• Improved: Page navigation on DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL pages now correctly displays TAKEOFF or LANDING at RSK6 after selections have been applied.
• Improved: Approach re-selection now removes the need to select the runway every time.
• Improved: Flight plans now merge identical SID ending and STAR beginning waypoints correctly, ensuring smooth autopilot transitions.
• Improved: MFD PROGRESS fuel readings corrected
• Improved: Approach re-selection corrected. You should be able to change approaches while en route and they should work.

• Fixed: Doing a Direct To to the next waypoint multiple times in a row should work again
• Added: Block on using APP before 30 miles (authentic per pilot feedback). Over 50 miles triggers an Easter egg!
• Added: New command: XCrafts/PREV_sequence to cycle PREV from 0 to 1 to 2 and back.

AUTOPILOT

• Added: New Glidepath Mode which provides vertical guidance for RNAV LPV and L/VNAV approaches. You can now do precision LPV RNAV approaches.
• Fixed: VNAV now levels off at cruise altitude as expected, even when PFD altitude is set higher.
• Fixed: ILS Approaches with no DME previously showed a yellow cross on the PFD, no lateral deviation and no approach ID. This is now fixed. Example runway: 16R at KPAE

EFB TABLET (Electronic Flight Bag)

• NEW: EFB now has the Settings plugin integrated as a separate tab. It includes the settings page for Preferences and Sound settings.

PFD

• Added: New flashers for the FMA when APPR1, APPR2, LPV, or L/VNAV approaches are fully configured
• Added: Flasher for the APPR annunciator, which appears 2NM before FAF or 5NM from the runway, whichever comes first

• Improved: All armed annunciators on the PFD are slightly smaller as per real aircraft
• Fixed: PREV needle on the PFD is now tied to the correct lighting knob
• Fixed: PREV deviation not showing deviation correctly for full HSI

MFD

• Added: RWY to the map instead of airport identifier
• Fixed: FMS Source data is now visible on the top left of the MFD map even when we switch to ILS/LOC as per real aircraft

• Improved: Changed the color of the ground on the standby horizon to match the real color
• Fixed: GPU now shows "IN USE" instead of "AVAIL" when active

• Added: Tied Cabin Announcements to Slider in EFB (doesn't do anything yet because the Lineage doesn't have Announcements anymore)
• Added: Sound for Pressure Dump Button and Pressure Dump Cover
• Added: Sound to APU emergency shutoff cover
• Added: Sound to the Auxiliary Isolation Cover
• Added: Sound to the Crossfeed Override Cover
• Added: Sound to the right and left AC pump switches

PILOTS

• Improved: Pilots are now hidden if Remove before flight is on

MAINTENANCE

• Improved: Logging has been overhauled to give us more and better information to analyze any issues that might occur. Please delete any Log files starting with “Log_XCrafts… ” that you’ve had in your X-Plane root folder.

Known Error Message

• When you load the aircraft before activating it, you will get an error pop-up related to “FMOD” (sounds).
• This is because our new sounds require some data that is only provided once the aircraft has been activated.
• You can disregard this pop-up, and it will only show up before activation.

VERSION 1.1.1
Improvements:

• DIRECT will now work for both AMBER (LSK1) and MAGENTA (LSK2) rows on the FLT PLAN page:
  • AMBER DIRECT: Creates a new DIRECT waypoint when the new destination waypoint is inserted at the aircraft present position. Aircraft will intercept course from PPOS insertion to the new destination waypoint.
  • MAGENTA DIRECT: Does not create a PPOS waypoint. Intercepts a course from last waypoint to the new destination waypoint.
• The pitch attitude on the final approach in X-Plane 11 increased to be positive.
• Below 200ft RA, the RA altitude on the PFD shows every 5ft instead of 10ft. This makes landing the E-Jets even easier as you can better anticipate the touchdown!
• Added another click spot for scrolling through the flight plan to the PLAN page around "Waypoint centered" in the middle of the page.
• Added GS INHIB button:
  • Used to manually cancel glideslope alerts
  • Illuminates when pressed any time below 2000ft nominal radar altitude and will be automatically reset (light off) by climbing above 2000ft nominal or descending below 30ft

Fixes:

• ILS autotune compatibility improved (Some users couldn't get it to run in v1.1.0)
• PLI will no longer show up if you're on the final approach unless your pitch attitude is more than 5°
• Disabled door manipulators in flight
