Other installation methods: see bottom of this document. This is necessary because too many people do not read instructions properly, install things incorrectly, and then complain about it on discord etc. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A note on the -E2
The real-world Embraer E-Jet E2 series is a complete overhaul of the original first-gen E-Jet. The version included in this pack is nowhere near the real thing; it is included because it was there when I (tdammers) started working on it, but most of the improvements made to the other models have not been ported to the E2. In its current state, it should be considered "broken". Doing the E2 right would be a gargantuan task, and I feel that doing it wrong isn't worth doing at all.
Hence, the E2 is provided "as-is"; it probably doesn't work at all, and if it
does, then it is almost guaranteed to be incorrect in all sorts of ways. If
anyone wants to step forward, feel free to send patches - but for the time
being at least, consider the E2 "highly experimental" at best.
Update (2021-03-18): By now, the E2 has drifted from the rest of the family to the point of not working at all anymore, so I decided to remove it. If at any point anyone decides to dig it up and make it work, then resurrecting the relevant files from git should be no problem; but in its current shape, the only thing it did was confuse people.

This document includes some essential procedures and a quick guide to the aircraft. It is not a substitute for a full Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM), but it should be enough to get you flying.
The installation instructions should only be used if you know what you are doing. If you have made it here and haven't read any installation instructions yet, then please scroll back up and read again.
- Get a source bundle from https://github.com/YV3399/E-jet-family-YV/archive/master.zip (or go to https://github.com/YV3399/E-jet-family-YV and click the green "Code" button)
- Unzip in your Aircraft directory
- REMOVE THE
-YV-masterPART FROM THE DIRECTORY NAME. The aircraft won't work properly if you don't do this.
git clone https://github.com/YV3399/E-jet-family-YV $FGROOT/Aircraft/E-jet-family-YV(replace$FGROOTwith whatever is suitable - if you don't know what it should be, then you probably shouldn't be using this method). If you have a github account, you can also clone fromgit@github.com/YV3399/E-jet-family-YV, or fork on github and clone from your fork instead.
