2019 Business Jet

Recommended Posts

It's 2019. In fact, almost a month in (I hope you all know that). That said, what business jet is good out right now (or soon)? I know it's been discussed here before but I would appreciate it if anyone had any recent news on business jets for v4 since mid-2018. Thanks 🙂.

Falcon 50 from Flysimware is a good plane to start 2019.

It looks to be getting some major texture upgrades too, it’s now on my wish list.

Wow. I missed that Falcon50 thread. Vastly improved textures. It'll be much more enjoyable to fly once those drop.

 

In other planes, the Xtreme Prototypes Lear 25 is a fun little beast to fly as long as you're OK with the less-than-accurate systems modeling. For instance, it has autothrottles. The real plane does not. But it's decently well-modeled. It's good-looking. It's a real fuel hog like the real thing so you'll be landing to refuel a lot, which means you get to take off and land a lot. And the 8 track with the 70's funk on it is hilarious.

+1 on the Lear 25 and I would say it's extremely well modeled, (considerably more detail in both the exterior and VC models than the FSW Lear 35). I've replaced the tracks on the 8 track player with my own music, with multiple tunes strung together on each track for extended play. I actually enjoy using it while flying. Neither have terribly deep or accurate systems implementations however.

The VC in the Lear 25 in UHD is excellent. Quite a nippy aircraft too. Recommended.

Im hoping that the XLS finally gets RTM this year. I am sure Carenado will pump another 3/D model with a textured VC out at some point as well.

I also missed that Falcon thread. Once they release that, I will definitely look into it. I used to fly the FSW Lear a lot but it is showing its age.

I've never had good experiences with Carenado. I got one of their products a few years back and it looked great, but it didn't fly great and the system modelling was next to none. Have they improved?

Some of their stuff is pleasant to hand-fly but as soon as you want to use that G1000 you find yourself frustrated.

I got their Phenom 300 and it's absolutely beautiful, but the G1000 is atrocious. If you use Navigraph you have to buy the Navigraph extension for it, but if you have the extension installed you can't auto-load flight plans from P3d's flight planner. And that's a problem because the G1000 is so flawed that it can sometimes be difficult to impossible to properly enter it by hand. So you can either fly it with up to date navigation data that doesn't do you much good because the navigation system is broken, or you can bypass the input process by not using Navigraph, but then you have to deal with 13 year old nav data, and so your pre-loaded flight plan won't work anyway unless you revert your sim back to the past.

Even the basic systems don't work right. Several of the light switches control the wrong lights, etc.

 

It's very frustrating. Lots of us would be willing to throw more money their way if they'd put some effort into the systems, but all they seem to be interested in is making things pretty.
