Personally I love these planes, the FDE's are superb and they couple with reality-xp products VERY well. The Citation X with the reality xp 530 and JL4 is one of my fav planes still.__Josh

>Hi Pete, Have you got a FMC on the aircraft you say you have>a licence for. Looking forward to seeing that licence.

They aren't used for that kind of flying most of the time either. The CX is a top of the line business jet, and I don't know of too many of those that don't use an FMC. [rolleyes]

The Eaglesoft CX is my favourite aircraft that I own (payware fleet includes the Eaglesoft CII and CJ1, and PMDG Beech 1900 - another great aircraft for the $).The CX doesn't have a fully functional FMC, but it offers a bit more - I would recommend it. RegardsBruce

"Hi Pete, Have you got a FMC on the aircraft you say you have a licence for. Looking forward to seeing that licence.

I had my GFPT lic then. Now I have a full PPLThis link explanes the steps in getting an Australian PPL http://www.mfs.com.au/MFS_PPL.htmHere is my flying Pichttp://www.freewebs.com/cessnapilot/

Thanks Ron,When your FMC is released I will probably buy it! Thanks for the info!

Excuse me chiming in here folks, but I don't quite understand this need for a fully functional FMC to make a simulated aircraft "valid". After all many airliner simulations don't have a host of important equipment, but sim pilots don't write them off as unusable because of it.Personally I find FMC's an absolute bore though I do recognise that some find them endlessly fascinating. I can't think of anything less stimulating than entering my flight into a computer and then NOT flying the aircraft for several hours! FS aircraft don't have proper tillers to steer the nosewheel. Does that make them unflyable? Almost all FS aircraft lack a realistic fuel feed system, cargo hold, moving hostess, the list is endless.Why pick on an FMC?Kind Regards,Rob Young

Thanks for all the input guys. I guess what I really want to know is can one fly from lets say, JFK to London rather realistically - as one really would in this plane, or do you have to depend on the default GPS? Also, does the lack of a VHF radio present a problem? I thought they were necessary across the Atlantic since there is no ATC. Regards, Tom;)

The CX FMC uses the GPS to help navigate long flights...FS does not support HF radios therefore you will not be able to use one:-)As stated earlier the CX FMC is limited in functionality though it will fly an FS GPS flight plan.
