ERJ 135/145

Hi, I've just bought the ERJ 135 and 145 by feelthere and noticed it doesn't have a VNAV system or autothrottle for cruising, or to hold approach speeds.
Does anybody know if this is true to the real 135/145? I always thought airliners used as many automated systems as possible to reduce pilot pilot work load. I actually enjoy flying in an aircraft where you the pilot are more incontrol and the erj is good fun!

This is about the best information I could find with Google about the ERJ autopilot, real world or sim.

I have a freeware ERJ (POSKY) with panel that seems similar.  There is not an autothrottle, but it does have modes for T/O, Climb, Cruise, and detents that stop the throttles for each power setting.  That may be all the ERJ has.
