Our Future Projects:
Development Roadmap
You might be wondering what the future holds for X-Crafts. While the possibilities are endless, our ultimate goal is to be great, not big. We want to be a fine‑dining restaurant with a smaller menu, rather than a fast food chain. That way we will be able to guarantee that every item on the menu will be great. With that said, let’s have a look at what we have planned right now.
Lineage 1000
We are working on adding the fifth member of the E-Jets Family into the product line.
The Lineage 1000 is a business jet version of the E190, with a luxury cabin, and an extended range, allowing you to cross oceans!
All owners of the full E-Jets Family will receive the Lineage 1000 for free as part of a future update.
ERJ Family v2
Once the E-Jets Family is updated to a very stable version, we are planning to start working on the ERJ Family v2.
This update will bring an authentic FMS, a high-resolution authentic Nav Map, a brand new flight model, improved systems, and full compatibility with X-Plane 12.
Due to all the time and resources invested into adding all of these features, the ERJ Family v2 will be a paid upgrade for existing customers of the ERJ v1.
E-Jets E2 Family
Many people ask us if we will also develop the new E2 variants of the E-Jets. Possibly, but not anytime soon.
Right now, we want to focus on improving the E-Jets E1 and ERJs as much as possible. We want to always be able to provide the most authentic experience of flying these jets and there are many areas in which we can still get better. So that is the plan for the next few years.
