NOW most of you know me as a person of particular cut-throatiness, and I'll admit, I'm a mean person > The EMB 170 by SSG.. where to start.. Well firstly I think for it's level, 30 dollars is a little too much... let's start with the pros: The aircraft flies nicely, the manuals and complexity of the systems add a new level of realism into flying the plane. The cockpit operates beautifully and doesn't damage my frame rates too much while flying, I'm a huge fan of their texture art inside the cockpit, as it really does add depth and realism to the plane. Flying approaches with this plane is simple and easy, the plane handles quite well, in my view. cons: I'm the type of person who really knows how to spot problems with a plane. Firstly, i have a big beef with the exterior. It's quite lacking in terms of quality. The shape of the fuselage from a distance can be loosely considered ERJ 170. The nose has too little definition where the cone meets the windscreen, there should be sharp edge there, as seen in these screenshots below. Another notable error is the nose gear and gear doors. Obviously, the nose gear is much too small, and the nose doors are much too large. the ERJ has more rectangular nose doors, and they should be narrowed and reshaped a bit. The nose gear itself is also too short/small, as seen in the real image, the ERJ tends to lean more towards the back of the plane rather than the front. The windscreen of the plane is on the large side, and should be narrowed down a bit. The wing box fairing is too defined, it should be more smoothly translated between fuselage and wingbox the winglets look like you stole them off a 737 and glued them on, they are WAY too large. Texture placement of the forward cargo door is incorrect location of the nose gear and right side forward door is too far back Windshield bars are too thin flap canoes are too rounded, cross section is too circular, it should be more rectangular I'll leave the rest to you, look at these two images and tell me what else can be improved. I also certainly hope, that in the future, this model gets updated. I know that modellers like Baber sikander are quite talented, and I want to see that talent more evident. All in all, its an okay plane, but i wouldn't call this payware yet.
