This is product is in the Early Access phase - meaning there will still be bugs and missing featureas, but you will already be able to do full flights and enjoy the products. Any bugs will be fixed continuously and free of charge.
Please visit the FSS website (linked below) to fully understand what the Early Access means before making a purchase.
If you own both E-Jets packages (E170/175 and E190/195) you will get exclusive and free access to the upcoming E190/195 freighter variant, which is planned for Q2 2024.
The E190/195 Early Access offers many custom systems, high resolution and accurate avionics, the FMS with an authentic interface, fully implemented sounds, and the 3D assets and animations are already finished and of top-level quality.
FSS is working on the entire E-Jets Series. They have been released as E170/175 bundle, and E190/E195 bundle. Please review the detailed description of all currently implemented systems or visit the FSS website for more details and FAQs.

E-Jets Roadmap: https://flightsim-studio.com/e-jets/roadmap
- FlightSim Studio product page: https://flightsim-studio.com/e-jets
The E-Jets series revolutionized regional jet travel and set the benchmark in performance, efficiency and comfort in the single-aisle segment. It is a successful line of 70 to 150 seat passengers’ jets, with over 80 airlines flying the model and an average mission completion rate of 99.9%.
The 2+2 configuration with no middle seat guarantees every passenger either a window or an aisle seat and with no under-seat support rails, there’s more space to stretch out.
Whether flying in mainline networks, low fare/low-cost environments, or on regional routes, the four members of the E-Jets family ensure airlines have the right capacity to maximize bottom-line returns. Fast turnaround times (15 mins or less) increase daily utilization, while reducing unit costs.
Designed for short to mid-range flights, the E190/195 features 96 to 120 seats in a single, dual or high-density configuration.
As well as being one of the most comfortable in the segment, the E190/195 is also one of the quietest with advanced sound absorbing materials.

The quality that was delivered here is at a very high level. Especially the cabin sounds were able to convince me strongly and seem very authentic. It is also positive to note that the flyer can represent motion vibration (like FSRealistic). The plane is not finished yet and the lack of VNAV is the biggest shortcoming. I hope that the developer will quickly deliver here. The 5th star will be awarded upon completion of the aircraft.

After buying the FSS E17X, I could not stop my-self from buying the E19X.
Truly a nice airplane, but it does not have VNAV, but its not the end of the world.
It got released 6 days ago now, and there has already been 2 updates, so it is really great if you were thinking about it got released 6 days ago
There are some issues, but again not the end of the world.

Don't get me wrong, the plane flight model is amazing, looks amazing and the cockpit is amazing, flies amazing - yet, for a product, it has barely a good LNAV and has no VNAV at all, the plane can't operate directs as it makes you go around 30nm off where you should be, you can't see your distances to certain waypoints for descent, the FMC is barely operable and has little function to what it can do, for the price, the plane should be a more high-fidelity aircraft - however, on the good things I've seen from the devs, it should hopefully improve into a well modelled plane with VNAV and proper functions eventually, the aircraft won't receive a 5 star until it has proper systems installed.

I'm a little disappointed. I had already bought the embraer 170 which wasn't so bad. On the other hand, I was expecting this version to be more accomplished by now. For example, it's still a pain to adjust the rotary knobs on the autopilot. It takes a long time to go from 170 knots to 250 knots, not to mention the fact that if your mouse moves a little, you zoom in on the whole cockpit view. Editors should take a leaf out of the book of other aircraft that don't have this problem at all. The FMC is very, very basic, and I haven't seen any significant improvement in the last year (Embraer 170). Impossible to do a Direct to on a SID or STAR. During a STAR, the aircraft can start to change course completely at random and no longer follow the flight plan. And in terms of FPS, it leaves a lot to be desired. It seems that the shorter versions are better optimized. Finally, and this is just a detail, the lowered window covers are a bit annoying when it comes to taking the shots you want (in wingview). Otherwise, the plane looks good and sounds better than it did initially. In terms of price, I spent more than 80€ for the whole family, it's not worth it as of now.

At the initial release the price is honestly too high. It does not have VNAV or FMS speed, can't fly full STARs and can't do holdings. Due to the issue with flying a STAR i have to use heading mode to capture the ILS, otherwise the plane just randomly turns right.
Apart from these things it is a good product and i have some faith in FSS providing regular updates and delivering what their roadmap promises.
We need this type of plane in the game :)
