What is the BEST Very Light Jet (VLJ)?

[ssair1]

In your opinion, what is the best, I'm talking PMDG or FSLABS quality here :), VLJ for Prepar3dv4?

None are great, Carenado's Phenoms are probably the best of the bunch but it is a looooonnnnggg way from study-sim level:
Phenom 100 (you'd probably want a third party GPS in this) https://www.avsim.com/home/reviews/aircraft/review-embraer-phenom-100-by-carenado-r2369/
Phenom 300 (with Navigraph upgrade) https://www.avsim.com/home/reviews/aircraft/review-embraer-phenom-300-by-carenado-for-fsxp3dv2-r3413/

Flight1's Citation Mustang is arguably better than anything Carenado puts out https://www.avsim.com/pages/1109/Flight1/Mustang.htm but it is not v4 compatible yet

Last week I bought the GLJ Model 25, its old school but I added Flight1 GTN 750 and Since I fly FSL 90% of my time it takes a lot for me to be pulled away, but so far I can say I cannot stop flying this gem of an aircraft that I think is brilliant. 4096 texture VC and model. 

I highly recommend it. IMO it can happery sit next to my beloved FSL A320/PMDG NG

I few screenshots I took on a cold flight to EDDF the other night.

Fantastic addon! BUT, it's not a VLJ.

True, but hey it's worth a shout out 

Anyway it's light and it's a jet  and it's really fast.

The 390 Premier IA is worth a shout out too.

Thank you. Yes, I do have the Phenom 100 for Xplane 11 and although the developers have done a great job, I was disappointed about the lack of SID/STAR capabilities. Does the Prepar3dv4 version include these capabilities?

[Nyxx]

EDIT: Never mind 

[ckyliu]

@ssair1 The 100 doesn't. The 300 has a Navigraph expansion/addon that adds some SID/STAR capability. But I think a lot of people choose to retrofit RXP or F1 GTN750 GPS units instead.

[Greggy_D]

Don't waste your money with the Navigraph extensions.  Just get the 300, Mr. Pieke's mod, and the F1 GTN750.  This combo right here turns it into a marvelous jet.

Edit to add:  Hurry, the 300 is on sale until the 17th.

I’ve been thinking about getting this based on a couple of posts recently(maybe by you). I was also thinking of the FlySimWare Lear. Have you tried that one? If so, which is better?

Hi Kevin,

The Flysimware Lear 35A is my favorite bizjet of all time - hands down (haven't tried the popular 25)... I just can't get enough of it... Far superior than anything Carenado I've used... The developer has offered fixes, improvements, and P3D upgrades for years - free of charge... Your mileage may vary...

You need to read the manual though - as it has a ton of custom bindings mostly mapped to the default G1000 since it doesn't have one (this buys you button control over the custom autopilot and other proprietary functions) - every flight is thoroughly rewarding - just keep in mind it is a Lear and things happen fast - real fast - you can hit 6000 FPM climbs after takeoff... The best setup is if you own the F1 GTN750 and the REX Weather Radar - as the model supports these fully in 3D...

Regards,
Scott
