Best corporate?

Recommended Posts

Hey, what do guys recommend for a (about 8 seats total, including pilots) corporate jet. I am looking for something that has a real nice looking cabin too. I know the mustang is out there but I want something bigger. Some I looked at have a 'cartoonish' interior.Thanks!!

Nothing... I hear ya though... we need a good falcon 900ex or global jet...Options are Eaglesoft Citation X (dated now in the graphics department but an excellent plane with FMS/VNAV etc etc)Their other CJ1 2.0Wilco Embraer Phenom:http://www.wilcopub.com/catalog/product/view/_ignore_category/1/id/6156/s/phenom-i00-by-embraer/category/4/A bit more lite on the systems but we are sparse on bizjet choices for FSX...I personally use the PMDG NGX has a BBJ :)

I agree I think a smartly done Falcon 900 would fill the corporate niche nicely.Seems we have every flavor, make, model, tail number and paint scheme of nearly every single airliner known to man, but so few corporate jets.Developers often defend this by saying there isn't a market for them, yet anytime someone does put out something like Eaglesofts wonderful Citation jets they sell 'em like hotcakes. I know of the legal dust up the simming community had with Gulfstream a few years back, so be it... Dassault seems to be very open to having their various jets modeled for FS.Perhaps a Challenger or Global Express?

well if you DON'T have to have a jet, the PC12 works great from flight 1 seats 9 and can get into very small strips


Ciao!

The PMDG 737 NGX 600/700 series has some corporate models available. FWIW the PMDG NGX is BY FAR the best simulation experience available for FSX IMO. It's a bit spendy but well worth it. I spend a lot of money on add-ons. Since acquiring the NGX, I have uninstalled everything else except the RealAir Duke because I have been hooked on the NGX. It's that good. And I come from days of old. So, I was boycotting glass. But the NGX changed me.

I would agree with that, I flew the EagleSoft Citation X a lot until the NGX came out, not really touched it since. I can live with the 700 and a BBJ livery until the BBJ add-on comes out !!G

Well I agree the PMDG stuff is top shelf but the 737 is an airliner converted (aka painted) into bizjet... I think the topic was addressing the need of a dedicated midsize cabin business jet...

I wish Flight1 would do a Citation Excel (560) or Sovereign (680)It would be right in their ballpark :)

How about the Xtreme Prototypes Learjet 20 Series? They´re a bit old from an avionics view (no FMC or autothrottle) but they look and fly very nice and fast. :(

Is it still in development though? I thought it was cancelled... maybe that was another jet.

Thanks everyone...The BBJ is a big bigger than I was looking for. As far as the eaglesoft, I just registered for the forums to poke around. I wish the interiors on the CJ1 , Beechjet and Citation II were a bit more like the Mustangs (crisp). I'll look more at the PC-12 and the learjet.Again, thanks and keep 'em coming if there are more.

Oh, so sorry. My screen showed the topic as "Best Corporate" not "dedicated midsize cabin business jet". Guess I'll have to look into a new monitor. LOL! If you put eight seats in a 600 series, it would be a pretty darn nice corporate ride. :( Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut though. Sorry if I stepped on your toes. Have a good day!
