Looking for a decent biz jet

[Gregg_Seipp 565]

Hi all,

 

I've flown the Flight1 Mustang for years but *sigh* I'm looking for a replacement.  I liked the glass cockpit (as limited as it was) and layout of the Mustang, as limited as it was.  Maybe someday there'll be a new Mustang.  Anyway, I'd like to get one that I didn't need to put the GTN750 in and would like a working autopilot with all modes (including FMC).  I know Carenado has several though I don't really follow them much.  I'd like to hear your suggestions and pros and cons. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Eaglesoft Citation X is absolutely gorgeous from the outside with winglets.

FMC is as complex as it gets.

Inside panels are a little dated but it handles brilliantly.

I have the Mustang - whilst I might take that for a circuit I'd pick the Citation every time for a trip.

This aircraft is still actively supported in an owners forum by the developers.

I second the Eaglesoft Citation X. Everything works.

I have it.  The one thing I liked about the Mustang is I could be up and taxiing in 5 minutes...it's just easy to set up for a flight at the end of a long day.  The Citation X takes me quite a bit longer (as it should...it's a cruiser).

There's really no other option if you want working systems. F1 Mustang or ES C750.

 

We'll have to wait for the ES C560 and MV LJ60

The flysimware learjet is 50% off right now

You know somethings up when a add-on Aircraft shows you all the images of the cabin and outside first and the last image shown is the cockpit.

I noticed this with the flysimware learjet

The thing is the guys at Flightsimware  are a switched on bunch of guys so they know why they leave the graphics alone but as a simmer Im really curious as to why they do this. Are the actual graphics the most expensive part of the development and systems are easy peazy?

What do you mean by limited? The G1000 in the Mustang was the best G1000 ever released for a home simulator.

No VNAV, no ability to use airways when flight planning, no ability to save flight plans and some other things.  Flight1 even says that their G1000 is light.  As I heard one RW Mustang pilot say, "You live on the VNAV screen".  The closest you do in the Mustang is just use the flight plan without altitudes.  Like I've said in many places, I love the Mustang but my sim is having horrible problems running it so I'm looking to replace it with something different...and, hopefully, close functionally.

Yeah, if I wanted another heavy metal I could go that route.  So much to choose from.

I hear you Gregg and you are right. Compared to the G1000 in the Carenado jets the Flight1 G1000 is very complete, but a you've pointed out it still has flaws compared to the real thing.

Yeah...on the verge of greatness I think...but only the verge.
