August 16, 20196 yr I've owned the Flysimware Learjet 35A for quite some time. Recently the aircraft received an extensive texture/sound/PBR and overall upgrade. If you don't like reading reviews but you enjoy quality addons, I'd go to the Flysimware store and purchase this right away! It supports a myriad of addon avionics units (I'm running dual Reality XP GTN 750's). Other options are both Flight1 and RXP GNS430/530 units along with F1 GTN as well. There is also a standard "default" GNS from Flysimware. I've read there is a "Pro" version of the Lear coming later with FMS and perhaps a EHSI/PFD. If I'm not mistaken the FMS will have VNAV. I believe it's based around the Universal FMS 3000. Another huge improvement over the old version is the switch sounds, engine sounds, startup/shutdown and many other smaller sounds. I used headphones for my short flight and it sounded great! Perhaps the largest upgrade is the new incredible textures done by @Wickedbacon92. PBR has been added to the Lear's exterior and the interior is vastly improved, especially when viewed from the cabin. There are some cosmetic changes that the astute pilots will notice such as window shape and engine/fuel tank angles and sizes. Finally the flight modelling as been tuned and feels lovely while hand flying! There may some minor items remaining but response from the developer has always been positive. I would expect any outstanding issues to be addressed with a small service pack. This is a quick flight from my old place of work to my current location. Routing is KDLH AGUDE AGUDE5 KFCM. As I approach the Minneapolis area, the M98 tracon will vector aircraft directly over the MSP airport then descend them towards FCM. There is a very narrow "corridor" for this operation and they do a great job in real life! Enjoy!

Oh - are you running Tomato Shade that WB had recommended ? That's new to me so I'll need to figure it out... Regards, Scott Edited August 16, 20196 yr by scottb613
August 16, 20196 yr Author No, once I installed envtex and envshade I just deleted Tomatoshade. Also with PBR I couldn't find a good reason to have TS. | 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 |
August 16, 20196 yr Amazing pictures, Ryan! The update is really a huge improvement and @Wickedbacon92 textures are indeed incredible. But I'm also amazed by your beautiful clouds. I wish I would see something similar in the sim. All I'm seeing are 'popcorn' clouds... Apparently Active Sky and REX4 is not the best combination. Do you use any other tools besides Envtex and Envshade for the clouds? Greetings Tim My files on Flightsim.to i5 12600K | 32Gb | RTX 4080

The clouds are a combo I think of some recommend settings from a few other users here. | 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 |

Thanks a lot for the info, Ryan! I'll take a look at ASCA. Greetings Tim My files on Flightsim.to i5 12600K | 32Gb | RTX 4080
August 18, 20196 yr Great shots, Ryan. I too am LOVING the updated Lear. WickedBacon and crew made this gem shine.
