In fact, it is often the first jet airliners real pilots fly in their career, because they are quite forgiving and handle many systems automatically. You might think that turning 4 switches on to start the engines would be unrealistic, but it is exactly how it is on the real planes. The Embraers have been designed to be very intuitive, and straightforward to operate.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We have spent a lot of time making sure to recreate that authentic feel of the E-Jets while also offering a user-friendly flight sim experience. This way, we hope to cater to users with any level of experience. Advanced users can go through all the checklist items one by one to complete the whole flight just like real pilots would. And new X-Plane users can comfortably choose the E-Jets as their first big airliner, just like real airlines would. </p> </div> </div></div><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-2 span-2"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1686923291105_125228"><div class="sqs-block-content"> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-8 span-8"><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1686692888112_264470"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:3840px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative; padding-bottom:53.802085876464844%; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); " > <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg" data-image-dimensions="3840x2066" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg" width="3840" height="2066" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 66.66666666666666vw, 66.66666666666666vw" style="display:block;object-fit: cover; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-position: 50% 50%" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d97dd2f7f9fe230d5b8d10f/1667748826795-BBDBSXDJGH6SQ8TEX7GG/E-JETS_FAMILY_BY_X-CRAFTS_COCKPIT_0015.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> </div> </div> <figcaption class="image-caption-wrapper"> <div class="image-caption"><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><em>A view of the </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpQUkUc0Wt0"><em>Embraer E195</em></a><em> avionics displays during the power up sequence.</em></p></div> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-2 span-2"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1686923291105_137873"><div class="sqs-block-content"> </div></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1686078659069_69013"><div class="sqs-block-content"> </div></div><div class="sqs-block markdown-block sqs-block-markdown" data-block-type="44" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1686079564268_223111"><div class="sqs-block-content"><div data-preserve-html-node="true"> <h2 data-preserve-html-node="true"> 6.
