"Owners are not open to people poking through their ac?"That is the primary reason. Another is that they contain certain complex systems that do not transition easily from typical Boeings:-) Took a quick glance at your history of the Beech 18 and let us congratulate you on a fine job. The '18 has always been a favorite and we might have done one had the fine freewware developers not beaten us to the punch:-)We agree, we hope your site succeeds as well:-)

You are welcome Nevin. I've always been curious as to why the Veneaviones Citation has not received more attention than it has. It's a great freeware model...and would be even nicer if someone could tune-up the fs9 updated air or cfg file to prevent such a nose high attitude on landing. Nonetheless a great contribution to the community.Regards,Leon

>I would shell>out $35 easy for a PMDG quality bizjet.Noel, you do know that the Citation X was one of our first products, right? As will all things, techniques have improved...I think you will LOVE the revisions being made to the CitX and, eventually, to all our current products. ;)

Howdy,Just watch the mad scramble when the Eclipse 500 is FAA certified sometime next month. ;-) As regards BizJet/VLJ a/c information: there's literally tons of data out there in the trade journals. For the past year and a half, "Flight International" magazine have published a fortnightly, in-depth, analysis (including structural cut aways) of the latest aircraft designs. For example: in April their Albuquerque staff writer test-flew a beta version of the Eclipse and wrote up a fairly detailed report in the 2-8 May 2006 edition. Also included was an exhaustive technical description of the aircraft.

Ah yes, but remember that Eclipse and Gulfstream must give permission to Commercial Developers.While there is a wealth of information on the internet, NOTHING beats the inside track.:-) The Avio system alone is enough challenge for any developer and our understanding is that Eclipse just doesn't allow commercial developers access at this point in time......Working with real world manufacturers is the desired track:-)

>Meantime, take a look at yet another upcoming>project:-)http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/CitationXLS.htm>Wow Ron, the XLS looks sweet!! Looking forward to it!!Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International

Thanks Mike! We believe you are looking at a new flagship at least until CX V2.0 is completed, then they will both be flagships:-)Let me thank you again for that awesome scenery package! Still available on our Downloads Page:-)

Thanks Ron for letting me know about the wingviews...thats precisely what I want in a plane! Looking forward also to your new release!----->Leon, yes the Veneaviones Citation is indeed a great little airplane. I really enjoy flying it in and out of little airports. I've become pretty good at C-STOLS (corporate short take-off or landings) :(Interesting to read everyones thoughts on this. Hopefully the real-world people will help with future FSX bizzjet add-ons yes? :)

You are welcome Nevin:-)

have you had a look at the default lear using the VC? fly a traffic circuit in that using the VC and see what you think, that is if you already haven't. it's smokin' hot. william

Just wondering as there is no comparison there with the Lear.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/tfbeta.jpg

their aircraft are top of the line for sure. if ya got the horsepower to run some of those and others out there by all means go for it but i gotta put in a plug for the lear and its VC. i like the framerates. i'm set with the default a/c and their VCs and can get 24 FPM in bad weather. smoothness is a BIG issue with me so i stick close to what's in the box. they work just fine. william
