Is the ERJ Family compatible with X-Plane 12?
The current release of the ERJ Family v1.4.3 was optimized for X-Plane 11. It can be used in X-Plane 12, but it is not fully optimized to make use of the new X-Plane 12 systems and lights. For best experience please update to the latest version.
Disclaimer
This version allows you to fly the ERJ Family products as they were in X-Plane 11.
This version won’t make use of any of the new X-Plane 12 features or systems, however, all previous features should be functional.
The planes will make use of the new rendering of X-Plane 12, so they will look much better.
We are not able to provide customer support for any issues that only happen in X-Plane 12.
You may get a popup notification about deprecated dataref(s). You can simply disregard it.
Known issues:
Starting the engines requires the use of CTRL + SHIFT + E if starting from cold and dark
Since the lighting system is completely different in X-Plane 12, the light cast onto objects on the current ERJs will appear extremely bright, and you won’t see the light itself. This might later become part of the patch, however for the time being, you’ll have to live with it.
The PLAN mode of the map is not available.
When will a fully optimized ERJ Family be released for X-Plane 12?
We just released the brand new E-Jets Family and we will spend the next few months making sure that the E-Jets are updated to a very stable version.
After that, we are planning to start working on the ERJ Family v2, which will bring a new FMS, a new High-Resolution Nav Map, a new EFB, a completely new flight model, some system improvements, and this release will also make the ERJ Family fully optimized for X-Plane 12.
Due to all the time and effort invested into adding all of these features, we expect that this will be a paid upgrade (probably around $15-20) for existing customers of the ERJ v1.
