October 19, 201213 yr I've recently reverted back to FS2004 and so I hope they do the C90 or B200 for FS9. The Aeroworx B200 is awesome, unbeatable in realism but the VC is somewhat dated and so I'd like to see a sharper looking KA, maybe with some better avionics and such. I'm just curious how the 337 and 208 sold for FS9, as I think I remember them mentioning that those are used to sort of test the waters before making more FS9 stuff.
December 13, 201213 yr I think a decent lear would be nice. The only thing that scares me about that is that Carenado makes fantastic visual models, but they fall a bit short on systems simulation C208, (and from what I understand the King Airs as well since I only have FS9) are two examples of this. That said, if they put out a lear 2X or 3X I'd buy it cause you know it's gonna be better than the default.
December 13, 201213 yr I think a decent lear would be nice. Something a but more current would be better..... It is real. All certification and testing is complete.

December 14, 201213 yr I just think that there's a huge gap for mid-size biz jets in both FS9 and FSX. The Honda jet (while I novelty, I do see going the way the MU-2 did back in the 80's lot's of hype but just not really the interest from a large enough customer base, but only time will tell there.) And while Eaglesoft tried to fill that gap with their Hawker and Citation II, the Citation X is pretty much your only real option. I think if someone were to do a mid-size Learjet or Hawker 850 type thing it would sell like hotcakes. The Honda Jet is "just another" entry level/VLJ. But then again that's just my opinion. And we all know what they say about opinions. :-P
December 14, 201213 yr Yeah - I'm anxious to try Eaglesoft but my new personal policy - no purchases unless they offer both FS9 and FSX for a reasonable price... I still use both sims... While not really Carenado's niche - I can't believe that after all these years - we don't have a top notch Lear to fly... The default is sooo bad... I think if I was in the market for a business jet - good old Bombardier would be first on my list - especially since I would be the one flying it... Regards, Scott

December 19, 201213 yr Vans RV-6 Have you tried the Baytower RV-7? That should keep you happy for a while Bert
December 22, 201213 yr One plane I'd love to see someone do well for FSX is the Piaggio P180 Avanti. Indeed. 400+ kts, room for friends and family, single pilot... and a bathroom! Not one to fly by the hood at night though... it's loud as hell (on the outside).

I know, one fly's over my house every morning from KOPF.

That should keep you happy for a while The BTS RV-7 is awesome, especially combined with Accu-feel. Great VC, great FDE, great visuals, great systems modelling, and lots of repaints done for it. It cruise at 160kts, ~800nm range, aerobatic, IFR capable, and excellent STOL ability. I took it on a 'round the world' trip and was able to land it practically every airstrip possible. It is like if you took the capabilities of RealAir's SF-260 and Scout mixed together.
