Free E-Jets by X-Crafts | Embraer E175 & E195 (2024)

We are celebrating 10 years of X-Crafts, and to celebrate this milestone, I am super happy to announce that our once-payware E175 & E195 v2.5 are now free, updated, and fully optimized for X-Plane 12. However you can still access our previous version v2.5. for X-Plane 11.

The latest version of our Free E-Jets, which is v3.0, comes with a huge number of improvements as compared to our previous release of v2.5. The most notable enhancements are in the autopilot, avionics, and exterior texturing. However, the complete list of changes is over 100 items long!

The E-Jets are now available for free to the whole community forever!

The Free

are completely different productsfrom our Payware

and they are not representative of our payware products.In short, the Payware E-Jets will make every part of the flight much easier and more enjoyable, because the Airplane will do most of the work for you.

The Freeware

are a very basic rendition of the real aircraft. You will have a lot of fun, however, you will have to operate most systems manually.In our payware

, you'll discover the simplicity of E-Jet operation compared to other airliners. With an Authentic FMS, VNAV and a multitude of automated systems that have made them favorites among real-world pilots, they offer a unique chance to experience truly authentic E-Jets.
