      FSFlyingSchool's Information Screen now contains a set of custom quizzes to test pilot knowledge in a fun, exciting format which will even store your scores so you can see your progress over time. 

      Are you ready to be tested on general aviation, aircraft components, weather, airport lights, signs, markings and more?

      Recently added to FSFlyingSchool


      Career Analyzer v2
      FSFlyingSchool pilots have relied on the powerful information shown in the Career Analyzer to show them which areas of airmanship they need to work on.
      It just got better!

      Now with improved data table display and search tool the Career Analyzer allows the pilot to examine all flights ever flown with FSFlyingSchool, to look for patterns in landing scores, flight scores, duration and so much more.

      In which aircraft are you scoring your best? Having you flown many flights in an airliner? What’s your longest distance flown in a Cessna 152? Which airport is your favourite? Now you can find out!

      Flaps added to Flight Graphing Feature
      Pilots continue to ask us for more data on their flights and approaches to landing.
      We have added the flap setting so you’ll know if you are raising and lowering flaps correctly during your flights!

    • E-Jets Family by X-Crafts

      2.0 Officially Released!

       
       

      I am so excited to share that the E-Jets Family 2.0 has been released! With this release, we’re not just expanding the fleet—we’re redefining what’s possible in X-Plane. And not only that, I can also share that I just became a father to a gorgeous baby girl! So both of my families are growing! ❤

      Version 2.0 brings never-before-seen features, improvements, and a super stable experience—but the real star of the show? The Embraer Lineage 1000 is now a fifth member of the E-Jets Family! The Lineage 1000 (pictured above) is a $50M ultra-large business variant of the E-Jets, designed to meet the luxury and performance demands of billionaires. Its extra capabilities will make it the most versatile add-on for your hangar!

      The E-Jets Family 2.0 was built with love , and now it’s nearly time for us to give these babies to you. Please take good care of them!
       

      Head directly to the store to get it, or visit our website for the official Lineage 1000 Product page to explore all the features!
       


      Spoiler alert: We also developed a solution to fix X-Plane's dark cockpits! ? Here's a quick sneak peek but you can learn more below.

      E-Jets Family by X-Crafts

       

      E-Jets Family by X-Crafts

      What's New in 2.0

      This isn’t just about the Lineage—the entire E-Jets Family is getting a huge upgrade. We’ve raised the bar once again to bring you the most authentic E-Jets in flight simulation. You can read the full release notes here, however here are some of my favorite new features:

      ? Fixing X-Plane’s Dark Lighting Issue

      We’re introducing an unprecedented Ambient Lighting Modifier with three options: 
      • Default (X-Plane’s lighting)
      • Dynamic (Lighting adjusts as you move through the cabin)
      • Natural (Lighting based on real ambient light—this makes the interior much brighter!)
      • Available in X-Plane 12

      Currently only available in the Lineage, later to be expanded into the other E-Jets.

      Thanks to these modifiers, we're able to get lighting like this:

      E-Jets Family by X-Crafts

       

      ? New Noise Canceling Headset Effect!

      • Real pilots use noise-canceling headsets—now you can too! Turn on our new built-in effect to experience how pilots actually hear, cutting out cockpit noise for the most realistic sound experience.

      ? Land at Thousands MORE Airports—No ILS Needed!

      • Not all airports have ILS, but now you can expand your horizons with our new Glide Path (GP) Autopilot mode. It provides precise vertical guidance for RNAV approaches (L/VNAV & LPV), just like an ILS Glideslope. Simply select your RNAV approach in the FMS, press APP before the approach, and let the autopilot do the rest!

      Improved Strobe & Nav Light Behavior

      • Strobe lights now flash front to back, just like the real E-Jets
      • E175’s extended winglets now feature long strobes
      • Nav lights now cast a realistic glow onto the ground

      ? Improved & Updated EFB TABLET

      • Many UI & usability improvements
      • New Settings Page for Preferences & Sound adjustments

      New Fuel System

      • Now fully custom for all E-Jets
      • The Lineage 1000’s fuel system accurately transfers fuel from auxiliary tanks into the main tanks automatically during cruise.

      New Autobrake System

      • You’ll immediately notice the more realistic braking feel! 
      • AUTOBRAKE aural warning when it disengages automatically

      And so much more…
       

       

      Why is the Lineage the Best E-Jet?

      E-Jets Family by X-Crafts


      Even though I always preferred airliners to business jets, I have to admit that I’ve completely fallen in love with the Lineage 1000—it’s now my go-to airliner! It’s the ultimate E-Jet that does it all. Here are a few highlights:

      1. Cross oceans with more powerful CF34-10E7-B engines, a custom fuel system, and two auxiliary tanks, giving it an 8,500 km range! Here's a handy guide to long-range flights.

      2. Highly intricate Airstairs for easy passenger access at smaller airports without jetways.

      3. Perfectly crafted luxury interior based on a real Lineage, featuring 50+ bespoke materials, ultra-high-resolution textures, five unique zones, and even a bedroom—unlike anything seen in X-Plane before.

      4. Four distinct liveries, each with its own custom, realistic interior.

      5. Fully customizable cabin lighting, including 28 individually adjustable spotlights, upwash/downwash ambient lighting, and custom ceiling/floor lights—all controlled via a pop-out touchscreen.

      6. Five working cabin TVs, featuring a pre-departure slideshow and flight info.

      7. Interactive cabin: animated blinds, tables, doors, and more—all with custom sounds.

      8. Auto-stow features: All animations and lights automatically adjust for taxi, takeoff, landing, and turbulence.

      9. Optional SATCOM antenna for inflight connectivity & broadcasting.

      10. Configurable window layout—choose plugged or open windows.

      11. Highly customizable—personalize the livery, cabin interior, TV screens, and even the in-flight magazine.

      12. Plus everything the E-Jets can do, including full autopilot automation, custom FMS, and the Steep Approach system for airports like London City.

      So no—it’s not just an E190 with a fancy cabin. This is a true luxury airliner, and it took nearly two years to perfect! I’ve poured all my skills, love (and a little sweat) into this, alongside our incredibly talented team, to create the best add-on we’ve ever made.

       E-Jets Family 2.0 Pricing

      Is the E-Jets Family 2.0 a paid update?

      No! Version 2.0 is a free update for all existing customers.

      Lineage is Free for owners of the Full Family

      If you own the E-Jets Family or Embraer Fleet, simply download 2.0 from the store or with the updater, and you'll see the Lineage 1000 in X-Plane! Thank you for your extra support by getting the full family!

      Do you own one E-Jet? Upgrade and get all five, including the Lineage 1000!

      If you own one E-Jet already, you can upgrade to the full E-Jets Family for $84.99 at any time. The discount applies automatically in the store.

      New Full Family Pricing

      Since the E-Jets Family now includes a fifth aircraft, the price has increased to $149.95. However, this is actually a price drop per aircraft! Previously, each jet cost $33.74, but with the new lineup, each one costs $29.99 and includes more features than ever before.

      The upgrade price has increased to $84.99. Individual E-Jet prices remain unchanged.

      Airport of the Week

      Can you guess the name of the airport below?

      If so, why not attach a screenshot (no real photographs or additional clues) in the comments section...but DO NOT mention the name (gives others a chance) :)

      Clue: With the sea on one side and mountain ranges on the other, this airport sits among a collection of small islands, offering a gateway to incredible scenery. It is a place of mythical legends and heroes, where Boeings and Airbuses are a common sight, but if you are lucky, a hammer might just come your way.

      Well done to ayryq, J.K., Dennis Powell, and skycycle, who all correctly guessed, Valemount Airport (CAH4)
