Hello!
I recently purchased the Feelthere Embraer E-jets v2.0. I've done a few flights just flying around controlling the plane manually, but I'm not sure how to use the FMC or autopilot. I've done a bit of googling, but I haven't been able to find anything. To my understanding, the autopilot is controlled by the FMC, so could anyone give my just a brief tutorial on how to use it. I've tried to read the manual, but I got completely confused, and it didn't really help. I've also looked at tutorials about other FMC's, but they seem to be very different.

If you know how to use the FMC on this plane, please respond.

Thanks,

The auto pilot isn't necessarily controlled by the FMC, just LNAV (the waypoints you put in the FMC). I haven't flown this plane, but I imagine there are manuals included?

As above, the FMC only tells the autopilot the route to fly which you should have already punched in, and if setup correctly, the VNAV.

If you are only wanting to fly a general heading and altitude, then this is controlled using the MCP.

What exactly is it your trying to do or struggling with?
