Getting Started

 

Congrats on becoming an ERJ owner! These are complex add-ons, and they will no doubt take some time before you learn how to fly them properly. This process can sometimes be a little bit frustrating, so we created this Getting Started page that will make your kick off with the ERJs fun and quick.

And remember, we are always here for you, so if you have any questions and you can't find the answer in the links below, do not hesitate to come and talk to us!

1. Installation

To install any of the aircraft or the bundled set(s), simply download the zip files from the store and extract the zipped folder(s) into .../X-Plane/Aircraft/… in a folder of your choice. 

  • We suggest that the folder name and path contain no non-Unicode characters. 

  • If you have more than one X‑Crafts product, you can have them all in one X‑Crafts sub-folder like this (X‑Plane/aircraft/X‑Crafts).

2. Running on macOS

Due to Apple’s security settings, you’ll first need to allow our plugins to run (this is the same for any X-Plane plugin). Please read the instructions below.

3. Activation

You will need to activate your products before you can use them.

4. Demo flight

This is the best way to start. We have included a folder called Demo Flight in the aircraft package, where you will find instructions for a quick full flight. Once you do this flight, you will be able to plan your own flights.

You will find the demo flight instructions inside the airplane folder …Embraer ERJ Family\Demo flight

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Most questions get asked over and over again, so the quickest way for you to get your answer is to check our FAQ first.

6. Tutorials

We made some additional more in-depth tutorials.

7. Manuals

And lastly, if you really want to get a deeper understanding of these airliners, we strongly recommend that you read the manuals as they contain a detailed description of all the features included in the products.

You’ll find the manuals in the aircraft package, or alternatively you can download them below.
