SSG Embraer E-170LR


This is a really nice aircraft.

Handles very well, easy to fly, looks good. Small enough that you don't need a large airport but also with enough range you can choose where to fly.



It's possible to jump into the started aircraft and just fly it. This is good because it means you can quickly get a feel for how it handles and gradually learn its systems.

The basic displays are easy to use and the whole cockpit is clear, legible and looks realistic. Some of the 3D knobs are a bit tricky to find exactly where to "grab", but that's not particular to this aircraft.

There's no interior passenger cabin. This doesn't bother me at all. It bothers me a bit that there are no pilots in either internal or exterior views.

Landing and taxi lights are excellent.

I don't usually fly jet airliners, but seems I've already flown around 10% of this year's hours in this aircraft.

Available here.
