FS2004 ERJ 135/145 Total Package

USA Fleet. Aircraft models by Dreamwings. Panel by Bill Grabowski. Package by Charles Fox.

Aircraft / Credit Notes:

All of the ERJ 135/145 aircraft models contained in this package are Dreamwings creations. Dreamwings builds a very detailed and excellent ERJ aircraft model! A BIG THANKS to Tommy Hansson for granting permission to use these excellent models in this package!

Panel / Credit Notes:

Bill Grabowski's ERJ 135/145 panel was used in this package. This panel first appeared as an award-winning application in FS2000 and has been fully updated to FS2004. Bill's panel is a world-class application and faithfully simulates the workings of the ERJ 135/145 cockpit environment. Bill also spent some time these past few weeks reworking some parts of the panel for this total package upload. THANKS BILL and GREAT JOB!

Thanks to FPDA for creating the Gear Wind Sound gauge. This is an old FS98 gauge that still works very nicely in FS2004.

Flight Dynamics Notes:

I created all the flight dynamics used on all the ERJ models in this package. Every ERJ version is different ' with differing fuel loads, center of gravity, and with slight variations in overall handing. EuroControl BADA flight profile datasheets were used to design the overall flight climb and descent profiles. I was also fortunate enough to find some detailed ERJ wing lift and stall data that allowed very detailed modeling of actual ERJ performance. The flight dynamics were all painstakingly tweaked to provide accurate flight modeling across the entire envelope. Enjoy!

Sound / Credit Notes:

I can't take credit for any of the sound files contained in this package. Although I built the sound.cfg file, every one of the aircraft sounds came from countless freeware sound authors. I apologize for not being able to credit each individual responsible for creating the great-sounding package, but I do want to thank you for your efforts!

Known Issues / Flight Tips:

1: TIP: The ERJ does not have auto throttle, and the flight models in this package don't either. The ERJ is equipped with FADEC (Fully Automated Digital Electronic Control), and the Grabowski panel simulates with very well.

2: ISSUE / TIP: When climbing or descending using the FLC autopilot function, sometimes the FLC does not disengage automatically upon reaching the target altitude ' causing up and down oscillations at a level altitude. Switch the autopilot to VS mode if FLC doesn't disengage automatically.

3: TIP: By default, all the ERJ models doors will open in 'air stair' mode ' in which the door pivots down and acts as a stair to the ground. If you want a 'sliding door', open the aircraft.cfg file of the aircraft you want to change and find the parameter, 'model=airstair' and change this to 'model=sliding'.

Thanks for downloading and enjoy the flying the ERJ!
