Eclipse 550-like plane in MSFS 2020?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I just got MSFS 2020, and have been an XP11 flyer until now.  I'm still adjusting, so I can't really speak about everything, but right off the bat, the visuals (especially scenery) are clearly better in MS.  One of my favorite planes in XP is the Eclipse 550.  Is there anything like this in MS?  I flew the Citation Longitude a bit, and it seems OK, but now sure I like the way it handles.

Off topic, but I hear MS is working on a replay option?  I can't believe this doesn't exist already.  I like to go back and watch my approach and landing in XP, but this doesn't seem possible in FS2020 yet.

The CJ4 would be closer in size and can be piloted single handed, but there are no exact match of a light jet yet in the sim.

A Cirrus Vision would be nice too!

Thanks!  Yeah, I really enjoy the light jets in XP.  Vision jet is great, but I like the avionics better in the Eclipse (the touchscreens are great), and it's faster.  I've been out of the MSFS world since I was a kid, but I'm guessing there will eventually be more planes available?  2020 just came out, right?

You definitely want the freeware CJ4 mod.  It's very very solid already but they're working on a newer version to be released soon-ish

Get the mod here:  https://www.workingtitle.aero/packages/cj4/

Otherwise there's nothing at the very moment.  But the upcoming Honda jet might fit yoir bill.

The state of bizjets in MSFS continues to be abysmal - the Longitude and the Cj4 are your only viable options (both modded, of course).

Plenty of announcements, nothing else released so far.

All of your photos were the same so I embedded one!  Scroll down on your image and copy/paste the BBCode in to your forum post.
