July 31, 201510 yr In the past I purchased add-on's from PMDG and A2A. Love 'em. Really wanting a business jet compatible with FSX:SE I recently bought the S550 Citation II from Carenado... Think I made a mistake... Some observations... - It doesn't seem much better then a default aircraft. It felt like I was on rails. Is this jet really that smooth and tame in the air? - It's a frame rate killer on the ground. I hope with some tweaking I can make it more usable. Have other people noticed this? - The cockpit textures look pretty good but why is the dash text so hard to make out on switches? It seems I have to zoom in on everything to read it. - On other add-on planes you can click a display/mfd and it brings up a zoomed in 2d panel. I guess Carendo doesn't support this feature? - How do you set the plane to start cold and dark? It starts up in all kinds of strange states, sometimes rolling forward into other parked planes. This seems like a basic feature. - Does the actual S550 plane require so much throttle on the ground to get rolling? I found taxiing to be quite difficult with this jet. - Did they really just include some scanned checklists in a PDF for the manual?! - To get a decent FMC it's an add-on and more money?! So far, I'm pretty disappointed with my purchase and the price. I know add-on's aren't cheap and it's a small market, but $45 for this plane is pretty steep compared to other planes I have purchased. Anyway, I guess this was just venting but if anyone has any tips/suggestions on improving this add-on I'd appreciate it.
