Recently I joined a VA for a UK regional airline called Eastern Airways. They use the atr, E170, E190 and Bae Jetstream 41. I use the atr for vatsim but was wandering if the FSS E170 would be vatsim capable. And does anyone know when the custom FMC might be out and if there is a Jetstream 41 for FS2020?
It’s more a question if you are ready rather than the airplane. The airplane uses basic autopilot (VS, NAV, HDG, APPR). As long as you’re proficient calculating your own TOD and have good charts for speed and altitude restrictions on SID’s and STAR’s, the airplane is fine. The automation isn’t there but for me it’s fun doing more hand flying and chart reading.

When flying IFR, you must also be able to fly a holding as per the updated CoC. Either the aircraft supports it or you prepared other tools to do it at an arbitrary point.
