September 15, 20178 yr Just enjoying the new OpenLC and the amazing Learjet 25 from Xtreme Prototypes! The flight into SVMD (Merida, Venezuela) is very scenic!

September 15, 20178 yr Nice aircraft! Does it have a virtual cabin? And how is the VC, is it immersive and realistic? John

It is all very well done, inside and out. With 2.1 being out, the simulation itself is about as real as it gets. The only knock I have on it is that I believe it to be over-powered. I have adjusted the .air and .cfg files to my liking. If anyone else feels this way about it feel free to let me know and I can give you my files and see if you like it. Mitchell Haughee

Yes, sometimes I have run into underpowered or overpowered aircraft that require a few tweaks. Carenado's Mirage is the closest to specs I''ve seen when cruise power is applied. It also lands at Piper's advertised touchdown speeds. I also like their 525, those are currently the only two add-ons I have for P3D since their A36 fills the niche for piston driven aircraft. I will probably add the Cardinal at some point just because I find it one of the sleekest looking piston aircraft. Might also add the Premier but I will take my time enjoying what I have. Currently I have a flight in progress, the Mirage from Napa to Reno at FL180. Flying it over my MSE V2 California scenery. I don't plan on getting California V3, since the V2 scenery blends in well with my FSEarthtiles resolution, having a small footprint and impact on the sim. It looks excellent in the flight levels and even at 1000 foot AGL it looks good. It took half a day to download and install though! It did not recognize P3d V4, so I had to manually add it to my scenery.cfg, thus it ended well. I might get the Lear 25, love the Learjets, the 24 is my favorite! I remember the Lear in the early versions of MSFS, we've come a long way! Kudos to third party developers and their hard work. John

September 16, 20178 yr The real Lear 25 is quite powerful - I haven't flown it in a while but I'd guess its close to realistic | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
September 17, 20178 yr They worked with a Learjet 25 pilot during development and he makes a few statements in the manual regarding this model, so I suspect the performance is pretty realistic. You really have to manage the power in this beast, more than once I've heard the over speed buzzer!
September 17, 20178 yr Author My logic comes from watching footage of the aircraft. If you watch it, or look at flightaware data on climb rates, there's a discrepancy. This addon out of the box will having you at mtow going up at 3000fpm in the 30000s. No way lol. It's not that good. Not without bleeding off a ton of airspeed to briefly reach that rate at that altitude. And 90 percent rpm climb? Sure. But you're not going to pull over 6000fpm at low altitude. Not unless you're super light. And at cruise you have to bring power back into the 70s like 75 on the rpm. Which the real aircraft is cruising using about 90 percent rpm. I've got mine up to 86-87 and that's the best I can do with the simulator limitation. The 25 is 3000lbs lighter than the 35 at mtow. And that's mostly because it has smaller wings I think. It also has 1000 lbs LESS total thrust than the 35. I believe the max climb rate is 6300fpm in a Lear 25? And the 35 is around 4300? My point is those numbers differ so much not because the 25 is a miracle jet, but because the 25 is limited on how much weight it can carry because of the wings. So it will climb faster on less powerful engines than the 35 because of that decrease in weight. And slightly less drag because the engines have a Lower profile. Obviously most of this is just my opinion and I'm not a real pilot! :p Mitchell Haughee
September 17, 20178 yr Makes sense, good to check out RW flights using flightaware, will have to check that out. I use it for routes but didn't think to use it for RW climb rates!
September 17, 20178 yr But they're also more concerned about fuel economy... so they'll be at reduced power settings. In the sim I'm not paying for gas - if the acft can do it - I'll push it to MMO ha! | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

So it's still reduced thrust for cruise, but a more realistic value in my opinion Mitchell Haughee

Hi! Great shoots!! SVMD it's a hard approach, between mountains. This repaint it's available? Where I can download? Only found some November's and YV3087.
