Looking for a decent biz jet

[Anxu00 176]

 

 

No VNAV, no ability to use airways when flight planning, no ability to save flight plans and some other things. 

They have the "banana" ;-)  I hear you.  The GTN750 still has no VNAV but it has the other two features.  Unfortunately, other than buying the Carenados and stuff in a GTN750 and then put up with their other incomplete stuffs, you are very limited to the ES 750 and nothing else at the moment.  You could get the PMDG 737 and paint it in "bizjet" liveries (there are a couple of 737-600 and 737-700 variant that is quite nice.  I found the lack of VNAV in the Mustang ok, force me to think and calculate my own descend and hand fly the thing.  Sure it's not as complete as the real thing, but apparently programming VNAV into the unit is too much work for F1 for the money they think they can make.  Many people just want the pretty shells, fly a few rounds, next...

I would put in a vote for the Carenado Phenom 300 + Flight1 GTN750 combination for a personal luxury jet.

 

This makes for a very nice cockpit environment and a good flight model.

If a "corporate jet" is more your thing, the Hawker is not bad either..

I did not know that the Eaglesoft CX 750 was the only biz jet available with working VNAV and the other avionics capabilities that Gregg mentioned. No wonder I'm so addicted to it.

The banana was a nice plus!  Not being overly critical here...I do still love flying it.  But it is interesting that GA, not just this aircraft, has lagged so far behind on these nav features.

My go to jet has always been the eaglesoft citation x. They are working on a challenger right now. Milviz is working on a Learjet 60XR. The flight1 mustang has the best G1000 simulation in my opinion. I just got the flysimware learjet 35A that is amazing, and I use the flight1 GTN 750 in the it. I decided to take the learjet out for the first flight on PilotEdge, and well..... it was interesting. haha.
