Can you identify all of these Cessna Citation models correctly?

Let's see who is the first one to ID all seven correctly. Must have the full model number as in XLS or XLS+.

 

Make sure you are looking at the full width of the photo.

Nice one Ray.

 

I tried; but I guess I don't know the Citations so well after all. The variations seem very subtle even after looking at the Cessna website.

Good to hear from you. So what are your guesses so far? I'm thinking the choices are

Citation X, Sovereign+, XLS+, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ4 and Mustang.

 

BTW I added the full photo in another thread with single engine and Turbos. Maybe you can try that one also. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/432259-expanded-view-to-include-single-engine-cessna-fleet/?p=2906474

Yes, they are all quite similar and most are just a mix of existing wings, tails, cut-off cabins etc. Cessna's Citation success is based on cut-n-paste of what they have vs what the customers would buy.

The most prominent differences seems to be either a T-tail or not, swept wings or straight wings, and the number of windows or cabin size. Everything else is practically the same. (Meaning a casual view from a distance)

I don't think the new Ten and the X are both there. The back middle is one or the other - almost no changes to the exterior for the upgrade. I also think one is the XLS+ with the modern nose job. (stolen from the Sovereign along with most of the other XLS+ upgrades)

The one in the picture has no winglets, so it can't be a Ten. ;)

 

Edit: other than the X and mustang, I can see the type on the engine cowlings, or deduce it from the registration, so I won't play hehe

I think A is a XLS+

B is an X

C is a CJ4

D is a CJ3

E is a Sovereign

F is a CJ2

G is a Mustang

 

Think the CJ2 is a + as well. I don't think I can see any thrust attenuators.

Excellent. I was thinking there were 3+s is the photo. The XLS+, the CJ2+ and the Sovereign+.

I think it is just a Sovereign. The tail number is 682CS which is listed as a 2002 model. Plus (ha), doesn't the Sovereign+ have the small winglets?

Yep, the Sovereign+ has the mini-winglets - tips turned up slightly. See photo.

OK you win. You get to select your prize from a list that I haven't made just yet.  :lol:

Maybe ESDG will jump on it for you.  I would love to see a few more Citations in FSX and a Sovereign+ is near the top of the list.  Actually any Citation with a + attached will do just fine.

We always look at what's doable and some projects cancel themselves out as Systems and Avionics challenges become too great to overcome for entertainment titles to be viable.

We can't just spit these things out on cue given the need for fidelity to the real thing. B)
