Yeah man I’m sure there would be fireworks going off here if/when that beauty comes to P3Dv4 

And unfortunately eaglesoft is doing the old C750.  If you use XP11, Aerobask is making a Falcon 8x in partnership with Dassault....

There is no documentation available for the G5000 which the Citation X+ has for Avionics.  Without the documentation... anything anyone tried to pass as an addon aircraft would be a fake.

But if such an avionics package existed, we would have the platform to place it in...

FSW Falcon 50 is fantastic.  Combine it with the GTN 750 and it is a winner!

I've spent 3 days solid flying it, and can't praise it enough!

I've been flying it all over Mexico, visiting Mexico High Flight's sceneries, putting it thru its paces.  It is a good one.

I like the Flysimware Falcon 50 as well -- although I would rather it have an FMC, which most of them, outside of a few airframes, have in real life. FSW has mentioned looking into this...so the FA50 could get even better.

The old Carenado Cessna S550 Citation II is pretty good, too, and it has an FMC upgrade.  Too bad the S550 has somewhat limited range (not as good a range as the Falcon 50), and doesn't have modern features like a rain effect -- but it's still a winner in my view.

Personally, I would much rather have the tried & true Honeywell Primus 1000/2000 in the 750 in any case, even if the G5000 was possible.

The newly revised/rebuilt Primus 2000 will indeed be available in CX Generation Three and CX Generation Four when completed.

Are there any plans at Eaglesoft to complete products?

Did you pay for something you did't get?

My main issue with the Xtreme Lear-25 is that it isn't realistic. It would easily be one of the best private jets for p3d, period, if they hadn't done weird things like give it an auto-throttle.

You might want to wait and see what the new version that they are working on looks like. I have no idea when it will be released.

If this really bugs you, you could disable the auto-throttle in the aircraft.cfg (under [autopilot], change the line autothrottle_available = 1 to autothrottle_available = 0). Of course, that doesn't remove the 'SPD' button from the panel, but it's something.

Is there another version in the offing? I see nothing to suggest that on their website. Given 2.1 is compatible with P3D v4 I think that’s it from them. Bug fixes remain and who knows when we’ll see that.

Thanks Rob. Funny there's nothing on their website. How much they charge for v3 will make my decision easy. I see nothing there that I must have.
