ERJ 145 Pilot In Command

Q: The LOC capture by the APR mode is too late
A: Open the erj.ini file (fs9/aircraft/feelThere PIC ERJ145LR/Panel) and by lowering the "locTrackGain" value (around 15) the LOC mode should become softer

Q: How's the autothrottle works?
A: Just like on the real ERJ there is no autothrottle. The pilot is responsible to maintain the airspeed

Q: OK, but there is a SPD button on the AP
A:  Speed mode can be selected during climb and descend. The AP will maintain this speed by changing the airplane's pitch

Q: The screens are black or the database is unaccesable by the FMS
A: Please install this file from Microsoft. XP SP2 users please read this and this.

Q: How to open the (cargo) door?

Q: I bought the ERJ from other vendors how will I get my SP?
A: All installers now include the latest SP therefore no patch is needed

Q: Some SID/STAR procedure is missing

A: You can find them all on our download page
