Embraer Phenom 100 Add-On [Official]

[DTG_Martin]

This is the official discussion thread for all things related to the FSX: Steam Edition add-on Embraer Phenom 100 by Feelthere.

The Embraer Phenom 100 is a Very Light Jet (VLJ) developed and built by Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer.

It is normally configured to carry four passengers, but can optionally carry seven passengers with a single crew. First flown in 2007, this twin-engine jet has a range of around 1,200 miles and can fly up to 41,000 feet.

FeelThere’s version of this phenomenal aircraft features a detailed interior complete with full glass cockpit and realistic flight dynamics based on real world Embraer specifications. This aircraft is perfect for learning and practicing IFR flying!

I just got this. Online specs show its top speed to be 390 knots but in game it can only do 280 before hitting overspeed. Also, its autothrottle function isn't working for me and its got some bugs with the panel lighting and navigation key pad as they both only work some of the time. Awesome little jet though and hopefully those small issues will get fixed in an update.

Hi BeebeYourself and thank you for your feedback.

Would you be able to expand upon the issue you are having please. We can then investigate these for you.

What are you doing to engage the autothrottle? In what way is it not working?

What are the potential bugs with the panel lighting and navigation key pad? When are they not working for you?

The more details you can provide, the more we can understand what you are experiencing.

Thank you for the help,

- Martin

Just curious, but what was your altitude when you got the 280 max speed?

A good question. Key concepts: TAS, IAS, CAS...

I have spoken to our development team about this for you. Here are some tips that might help.

We assume you are referencing the Wikipedia top speed which states 390 kts. This converts to roughly 275-280 Knots Indicated Airspeed (KIAS) from sea level to 28,000 feet and FSX measures speed as KIAS, hence the difference.

In terms of the autothrottle this is described in the manual as follows: “The Phenom does not have a traditional auto throttle system. When in level flight at cruise altitude the CSC button on the glare shield will hold the aircraft at the speed set using the SPD knob. CSC cannot be used during climb or descent.”

Finally in regards to the lights, as with all other FeelThere aircraft you cannot press ‘L’ to turn on the lights, they need to be manually turned on.

We hope that helps, if you are still having issues please let us know and we will be happy to investigate further.

My Nav lights don't work either. The Strobe, Landing and Taxi Lights do.

I printed an Operations Manual from feelThere, but it seems to be for another version, FS9 and FSX. I'm using FSX Steam edition. Will I be able to use the manual to learn the systems? Is there another manual? The reason I ask is because I'm not finding a config. utility for the Phenom.

[Captain Lucy]

thank you for the answers and my appologies for misunderstanding and not answering more quickly. That solves all my problems listed.

Hello,
I bought the FSX: Steam Edition-Embraer Phenom 100 Add-on (official) in 5/18/2016.

The Panel buttons are not active, I can't configure the aircraft and even connect the batteries.
Only work the FLAP; PARKING BRAKE; THRUST LEVEL; LANDING RAISES LEVEL.

Please, someone would know how to solve this issue?

No speak English, I'm Brazilian, I use a translator.
Thanks

Hello,

I have an incredibly loud and constant background noise with this aircraft (louder with engines runing but present without also). I haven't had this problem before and it is not associated with other aircraft I have.

The volume control has no effect on it, and it still continues even when I enter 'Time and Season' or 'Aircraft' or any of the other pages which mutes automatically all other sounds.

It sounds like it could be wind/GPU/engine/other environment background noise but I have no idea why it is there.

It makes playing pretty much impossible, so just wondered if anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

[BigPenze]

Hello,
Try turning off the air conditioning and see if the sound continues

Where can I find the config utility that is mentioned in the manual?

Is there a Paint Kit available?

At Steam client, go to "Library" and then select "Tools", in the list look for "FSX Phenom 100 Configuration Tool" select it and install. Do the same if you have other Feelthere Addons, like ERJ-135/145 Series and ERJ-175/195 (E-Jets V2). After installing it you can find it in your Start Menu, All Programs, Steam and there will apper the shortcut for the configurator! :)

I want to buy this plane but I have the same question before I do.
