I'm in a bit of a rush, but I'll throw in these images of the Embraer regional Jet, model 145 Smiley
Pics are from my 2nd flight, which was between EGKK-EDDT. Have not flown with the VC model since it is VERY FPS heavy, way worse than the 737NG (PMDG)

Climbing away from Gatwick
...

exterior shots
...

...

The 2d panel is really nicely done, llike the reflections of the backup "PFD" on the AP panel. Nice touch Smiley
...

Descending into Berlin. The SID/STAR database is far from complete, but at least there were some arrivals programmed in the FMC for Berlin.
...

Touching down on RWY 26R
...

Quick notes: What was most problematic was the FADEC programming, that is done in the overhead panel...never seen that before  Grin

Will be more thourough tomorrow!

Junior, you should know better Wink
The ERJ comes with LNAV and a VNAV advisory (such as the CRJ and ATR aircrafts, very common)
Here, take a look  Smiley

...

But what impresses me the most are the patterns available in thew FMC; racetrack, procedure turn, orbit(!), radial pattern and a wpt by-pass function. Orbit will be nice to try on VOR arc approaches (if it's possible, not really sure?)  Smiley

Ahhh I know..but then again I never completely understood the autothrottle in the WILCO CRJ Cry..I tried 3 flights with it and never got her up into the sky with a fully working FMC...(I got distracted using the PMDG737 : and the WILCO 767 which has great sound)...but anyways when I get FS2004 for Christmas...I know a little behind.. I will purchase the ERJ..it has to be one of my fav. RJ

the CRJ does not have an autothrottle, perhaps that's the reason you did not understand it  Grin
And the ERJ does not have autothrottle either, but like the CRJ700/900 (I believe) it is equipped with a FADEC, which controls the thrust rating, amongst others. It is not able to maintain the speed in cruize though (in climbs/descents you can control speed by AP pitch commands)

What's so confusing?

AP is set to descent at 280kts.
If you retard the throttles the AP commands a nose down attitude so the speed can increase.
If you advance the throttles, the opposite will happen: Since the AP is set to maintain 280kts it will command a pitch up attitude to prevent you from busting the Selected IAS on the AP panel?  Smiley

What would happen if ATC tells me to maintain a speed  of 220 from 250? Should I decrease thrust (Da I guess so)..which AP would then increase nose pitch to help slow down?

If ATC asks you to decrease speed from 250 to 220 you can do various things. Either switch to VS and retard the throttles. This will keep the descent rate while you are decelerating. Just to avoid the nose up attitude that would occur if you flew with an IAS descent. When you are at 220, select IAS again. However at 220 you are pretty close to the airport so I'd keep the V/S mode and control the speed manually.

The other way of doing it
Spin the IAS wheel to 220 and retard the throttles smoothly and watch the aircraft's nose rise up to aid in decelerating the aircraft. When speed is at 220, the nose will come down again, increasing the rate of descent.

I'd prefer the first option, though.

ATC can tell you what speed to fly?  This is new to me...

Yes mainly when landing but they do tell sometimes if the airports vincinity is crowed..They mainly vector you around to put you in a "pattern"... If you want to see how is is really done do this..

go to Passurs website of Boston Logan
http://www4.passur.com/bos.html
and also go to LIVEATC.NET and scroll about half way down the page and click on Boston Approach/Departure you will here boston vectoring aircraft all around and you can see teh aircaft doing these manuvers
