That gives them time to make me a Lear35 for Christmas :dance:

I've been looking at that one. Hope they take their time and make a nice 3d flight deck.

Hot new fuzzy pics from Carenado. I have been requesting some cockpit screenshots and I guess they finally oiled the squeaky wheel. I brightened them up as much as I could and I haven't really studied them yet, but that big center box looks interesting.

Here is something to compare. Looks like this one is going to be one of the first 100 or so CJ2s from the year 2000/2001. Early Collins Proline 21 w/options - just not as integrated as the later CJ2+ versions.

Ah. Here is it. Best guess, an early CJ2 before the two slick radios and GPS. (my cut and paste)

So, I wonder if the autopilot bugs from recent releases will have been fixed and the fixes baked into this new release....  [/naive].

 

Just kidding :smile:   It looks stunning.

Wow, another aircraft with a Proline 21 by the look of it ... or at least Carenado's interpretation thereof. I already have a couple of them, and they don't work, so there won't be a third!

Come on  :dance: who cares about avionics, just look at the external curves and the beeeutiful cockpit Carenado made!  I am done with Carenado.

Me too.

 

From what I can tell from the Carenado posted screenshots it will be the highest level VC we have seen to date in any FSX/P3D light jet. Everything looks like original work and extremely sharp and detailed. I'm looking forward to flying this one. The Proline 21 in the basic CJ2 was a great leap forward in 2000 but was souped up and more tightly integrated with the CJ2+ which was still being built at Cessna in early 2015.

As the new CJ2 is getting its final checks, I thought I would show you what Bert's mod could do for the panel. The built-in dual Nav/Coms in the GTN750 will replace those in the CNI 5000 Avionics panel so we can leave them in the OFF position. Same for the Transponder if we choose. Those flight simmers that keep looking for an ADF in the business jet should finally be happy.

Haha, already?  Bert, you should be paid by Carenado, or even affect sale if you pre-announce your support for modding this plane.  Ray has high trust for you  :smile:
