FSX jetBlue Embraer 190-2

This jetBlue Embraer 190 repaint provides a detailed visual rendition for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, offering a specialized exterior scheme inspired by jetBlue’s fleet. Created by Premier Aircraft Design (Premair Aircraft) and painted by Jason Harnois, this freeware add-on requires the original base model, which is available in the Fly Away Simulation library. The repainted textures reflect one of jetBlue’s Embraer 190 deliveries, well-known for bridging shorter routes comfortably with advanced regional jet capabilities.

Key Features and Repaint Details

• Real-World Livery: Depicts a second variant of jetBlue’s signature design, capturing authentic color placement and font styling.
• Compatible Model: Designed for the Premair Aircraft Design Embraer 190 package. You must own the freeware base model to utilize these textures.
• Accurate Markings: Incorporates working registrations, airline callsigns, and associated carrier identifiers relevant to jetBlue’s operational fleet.
• Easy Installation: Simply insert configuration details into your aircraft.cfg file, ensuring the correct sequential entry (as indicated by “xx”).

Technical Insights on the Embraer 190

The real-world Embraer 190 accommodates between 98 and 114 passengers,—a twin-engined regional jet well-suited for short to medium routes. It competes with other narrow-body designs from Bombardier, Boeing, and Airbus, yet it features a larger wing than its E-170 predecessor and employs powerful GE CF34-10E high-bypass turbofans. JetBlue, a wide-reaching low-cost carrier, became the inaugural operator, solidifying the model’s position in both domestic and continental service.

description=Embraer ERJ90-LR\nA 98-114 passenger twin fanjet regional airliner. The E-190 family is a larger stretch of the E-170 model fitted with a new, larger wing and a new engine, the GE CF34-10E, rated at 18,500 lb (82.30 kN). Being in the 100 seat range, it competes with smaller jets including the Bombardier CRJ-900, Boeing 717-200 and 737-600 as well as the Airbus A318. The first flight of the E-190 was in March of 2004, with the first flight of the 195 in December of the same year. The launch customer of the E-190 was New York-based low cost carrier JetBlue with 100 orders and 100 options. European low cost carrier flybe is launching the E-195 with 14 orders and 12 options. As the 190/195 family is of mainline aircraft size, many airlines will operate them as such, fitting them with a business class section and operating them themselves, instead of having them flown by a commuter airline partner.

Installation Guidelines

• Base Model Acquisition: Retrieve the freeware Embraer 190 package by Premier Aircraft Design from Fly Away Simulation.
• Texture Transfer: Copy the texture.JetBlue115 folder into your aircraft directory.
• Configuration Edit: Open aircraft.cfg, locate the [fltsim] sections, and add the above text block under the correct sequence.
