X-Crafts recently released the long-awaited E-Jets Family 2.0 and the Lineage 1000 expansion for X-Plane 11 and 12. The update brings never-before-seen features, improvements, and a vast list of bug fixes, along with the fifth member of their aircraft product line.

Aside from the new addition to the fleet, the changes with update 2.0 to the whole E-Jets family are substantial, bringing the “most authentic” (according to the developer) E-Jets in flight simulation. They have managed to fix X-Plane’s dark cockpit lighting issue by developing their own ambient lighting modifier, featuring three different lighting options (default, dynamic, and natural). Furthermore, the new update brings heavy autopilot improvements, including a glide path autopilot mode with precise vertical guidance for RNAV approaches, like a “fake ILS.” 

The EFB tablet underwent massive changes, including improvements to UI and usability and a new settings page for preferences and sound adjustments.

They have also introduced a new custom fuel system to all the E-Jets, with special attention to the Lineage 1000’s auxiliary tanks and their automatic fuel transfer process.

The full release notes can be found here with further information on the update.

The complete family is available on the X-Plane.Org Store for $149.95,  whereas the upgrade price is $84.99 if you already own one of the E-Jets.
