Smaller Jets

[squerble 300]

Hi all,Over the years I've built up a little collection of addon planes for my FS9 install:Wilco Airbus Evo Series 1 & 2PMDG 747-400/MD-11iFly 737NGLDS 767Now, I enjoy using all of these immensely, but sometimes I feel like I'd rather do shorter flights. I typically fly the A320 fam/737NG to locations (usually in and out of EGGP), but some of these flights will last up to 4 hours or so. I'm actually going to set my sights on some shorter routes (up to an hour/hour and a half etc), perhaps using regional jets.I wanted peoples opinion on the best paid add-ons for these smaller jets (Embraers, Citation, Fokkers etc) for FS9. I like them more complex than standard MSFS planes so would like them to be quite realistic. I'm also considering looking at a turbo-prop or two, maybe the Flight 1 ATR72 etc.Your suggestions?Regards,Karl

I actually use the Ifly for my shorter routes, set yourself up with the -600 and have at'er. I like to fly multiple legs of about 1 hour each, Keeps me busy at all times.But if you are in the market for something new for shorter routes, I agree the flight1 atr is well done, and is QUITE complicated also.

I have to recommend the Eaglesoft Citation X V2. It's very fast, very fun, can go 3000 nm if you want it to (Not at M.92 though!) and you can get it in and out of smaller airfields. 5000' runways are easy, 4000' is doable with a light plane but the departure will be field limited.

Thanks Mad Dog. While there please remember the Citation CJ1+ w/full FMC. http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/CJ1+_2.0%20Exterior_SS.htm

I definitely recommend the Flight1 ATR. It's an older product but still very good. As someone who enjoys flying in the UK, you might want to take a look at Rick Piper's freeware HS748. If you don't mind flying an a/c that is "retro" it really is excellent and perfect for short haul and regional airports.

Thanks all, think I'll start with the Fokker and possibly an Embraer and get my head around those first! :)I like the sound of the 748, remember always visiting the flight desks of the Emerald Airways ones in Liverpool!

I've always fancied the AFG Beech King Air (which is freeware).

Cant go wrong with any of the above suggestions, especially the Eaglesoft birds. I do second the AFG Kingair, great freeware plane.

The 748 is freeware but payware quality so you can't go wrong with it - give it a try.... There is an Emerald Air paint that comes with the base package. I used to fly the 748 "back in the day" and I can tell you that this comes very close to the real thing. There is also an Andover version with the kneeling landing gear!
