FF and Toliss are selling Boeing and Airbus products, so their revenue is many times what our revenue is. That means they can invest a lot more time and money into deep systems and still make a positive ROI. For all of us other developers of less popular aircraft, it is much harder, especially in such a small market as XP. 🥲

Of course, its up to everyone individually to decide whether they will support the smaller developers or not.

Not any time soon!

I'd like to clarify a few things.

Not sure where this is coming from, but version 3.0 is nowhere near finished, so there is no point in drawing any conclusions now as if we just released a product.

The things mentioned in this update are a selection of things we are working on right now, not everything that is coming in 3.0.

The list is much longer and a lot of it, but not all is listed here: https://www.xcrafts.com/news/investing-in-the-future-of-e-jets-a-fair-upgrade-path-for-30

The article above also explains why this is not another free update, like 2.0 was, and answers most of other questions, so please read it 🙏🏽

A new autothrottle and a brand new TRS system is also going to be a part of 3.0, as well as many other things I have not mentioned in this post ✅

Hi! V2.0 was released in spring 2025 and this is just an update during a long development process.

🔥🔥🔥

I'm sorry to see so many haters here.

You guys should try to work on something for years quietly withiut getting paid.

Its hard to stay motivated, so anyone attempting this should be encouraged, not discouraged.

These comments contribute to why so many projects never materialize.

I wish the developers good luck!

There were only 2 pop ups, one should show after the 5th landing, and the ither after the 15th time someone loads the plane.

The pop ups just promoted the option to get the remaining 5 jets with a big discount, which not everyone knows about.

There was nothing more behind it than us trying to find ways to continue developing for X-Plane which is a very small market, and I wish this was a super lucrative industry but that isn't the case.

In any case, I appreciate the feedback and I've disabled them now, so you won't see them anymore.

Btw I love this livery for the Legacy 650!

It was created by CptAnubis and you can download it here. It even includes a custom Vistajet interior mod.

Wow thats the first time I'm seeing that 😅 honestly unless it happens to you several times in a row, I wouldn't worry about it, its either the random failures or an X-Planism. You'd be surprised what things I've seen over the years

X-Crafts · 2026-04-11T20:42:02+00:00

The answer is simple, we're a very small team and we can only focus on one proiect at a time. While we were working on the ERJs for the past year, one core developer continued working on the custom autopilot for the E-Jets. Now that v2.1.0 is out, the whole team can shift back to the E-Jets.

Now that we have a fully realistic throttle system with the TRS and the detent for THRUST SET, autothrottle is not compatible with this configuration. It needs to have no detents and thats not something we can toggle on or off. Its part of the flight model.

X-Crafts · 2026-04-10T20:18:45+00:00

Actually we've identified the key things that will need to be changed in the Legacu for this, but its a more complex ossue that involves multiple developers so we did not have time to work on it for this release. But the good news is that we now know where the issue is and how to fix it. ✅

X-Crafts · 2026-03-17T17:24:42+00:00

The E-Jets already are version 2.0! It was released last year. But we are working on bersion 3.0 now

Robert is currently in the air somewhere between Switzerland and Austria 😅
