With this setback, and not wanting to have a conflicting project with the creators of MSFS, NextGen decided then to focus on the Embraer ERJ. This decision comes after a change of plans made in sequence of Asobo’s and Microsoft’s recent reveal that they were working on the ATR-42/72 for MSFS, a plane that NextGen Simulations intended to create next. The developers have announced that they will now start the hard work of bringing the Embraer ERJ family to Flight Simulator, in four different variants: the ERJ-135/140/145 and 145XR. While these are good news for existing owners of the Bandeirante and fans of that airplane, we would argue that there are more exciting things for the future ahead. Some things will be fixed, others will be improved (like the sounds), and some others will possibly be introduced (such as a weather radar and support for the GTN 750).

The Bandeirante may have been mildly received by the community, but NextGen Simulations promises to continue to improve the aircraft in order to meet costumers’ expectations. After the recent release of the Bandeirante for Flight Simulator, the team from NextGen Simulations have revealed a very ambitious project on their hands: to bring the Embraer ERJ family to MSFS, a popular selection of regional jets that competes directly with the Bombardier CRJ Series.
