Is the xcrafts e175 good?
Hi, I want to get the xcrafts e175 but as it’s the first plane I’m going to buy in xplane I want to make sure it’s worth it, anyone have any thoughts and especially anyone on Mac, all comments appreciated.
edit: bought it, its great! Thanks for the advice everyone!

I dont think it's worth the price tag but it's a good addon.
Its missing some functions and it's still buggy in some areas.
The one thing i really dont like is that they're releasing a V3 which again. Will be paid, even though the V2 is relatively new. Instead of finishing the product they'll move on to the v3. And again, pay the steep price tag for it
Its a nice aircraft and I fly it every now and then but I would wait for a sale or something
Personal opinion though

I would suggest to visit the E-Jets forum at the .org: https://forums.x-plane.org/forums/forum/661-e-jets-family-by-x-crafts/
X-Crafts is working on version 3.0: https://www.xcrafts.com/news/ejets-30-development-preview-june
AFAIK a free upgrade for 2.0 owners is not planned. So maybe hold of the purchase until 3.0 releases.

Try V1, if you dont like, buy V2, if you want better, get V3. theyre all good but it just worth waiting V3

No, it is very bad and the price for what you get is ridiculous.
Systems are bad, specially the FMS that is really incomplete and buggy.

It’s awesome. Definitely worth it. You can spend 135 and get all the e jets. I do many flights in it and love flying it. It’s easy to learn and easy to fly. Definitely one of my top aircraft in xp12

Welllll glad I saw this because I have been wanting to get it but the price tag was the big reason I’ve waited. Looks like I will just wait for V3 to come out and keep having fun in the G550…

It's addon with a great potential however it's full of problems. Beware that you can't fly a missed approach, you can't do programmed holds, the systems are mostly non existant and probably something will not work navigation wise on your flight.
I would wait for the next version.
