What are your top pick planes?

I really like the Aerosoft CRJ series.  Some can't make its LNAV work but I have no troubles with it.  It hand flies very well and it's enough a challenge (no autothrottle) to keep me focused--escpecially because I use A Pilot's Life for per flight scoring.  For all my years at this I typically stick with just 3 or 4 planes ever and will keep them until one is replaced, but that is infrequent.  Right now the B78X Heavy Division mod and the AS CRJ are all I'm using currently, but when the PMDG-800 arrives I will purchase it for sure.  Really would love the 777 as well if n when.

PMDG 737-700 Light on Resources. Excellent to fly. More involved workflow for the boeing.

FBW A320 NEO Experimental is very nice to fly. Features are well thought out . Attention made to detail. Continuous development by the FBW team

FENIX A320 Nice to fly Visually stunning. Pretty much feature complete.

Preference from top to bottom.

There are some payware that blow away anything I ever used in P3D. But, you have your choices.

But no bizjets similar to Flysimware's Falcon 50 and Learjet 35A, and Carenado's Phenom 100 and 300.

I over bought in P3D and FSX.  Which means I'm more discriminating now and will only buy bizjets for MSFS. I basically resolved to enjoy what I already have with a few exceptions eg. Just Flight's Turbo Arrows.

While these are nice in MSFS I am refraining from buying the versions for MSFS that I already have in P3D. For example, the C310 and the PC-6.  The keyword being 'refraining' lol.

Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

A reputable source told me that the Learjet is coming to MSFS.

I'll take the H-Jet any time over the Carenado's Phenom's and it was more affordable. It was only $25.

Aircraft are cheaper, look better, feel more realistic, and 2me MSFS is a better platform. I've put more time in two years in MSFS, than I did in 20 years on all my other platforms combined. I'm finally getting my money's worth.

Even the p3d bizjets weren't very in depth.  The FSW Falcon 50 and Xtreme prototypes Lear 25 were probably the most detailed with systems.  I'm not sure why your monitor isn't displaying the CJ4 text very well.  The CJ4 is a very very nice addon - it would be worth asking on the WT Discord about the text.  I'd honestly place the CJ4 at the same level as any of those old P3D analogue biz jets.  (And it's soon to be upgraded for free btw).

Aside from the systems aspect there's the visual aspect of MSFS -leaps and bounds above P3D (even with scenery addons).  I'd spend more time getting the CJ4 working if I were you.

I'd love to get the CJ4 working, but I can't see the flight data in the panels. I have the same problem with this type of avionics in P3D too.  See below.  Both screencaps are at .30 zoom. The first one is MSFS, the second P3D. What kind of monitor are you using?

I'm using a G-Sync 27" gaming monitor Amazon.com: Dell Gaming S2716DGR 27.0" Screen LED-Lit Monitor with G-SYNC : Electronics with a GTX 1070 ti gpu card.

MSFS: problem with the default CJ4's Proline 21 panel (.30 zoom on 2560 x 1440 monitor):

P3D: the same probllem with Carenado XL560's Primus 1000 panel (.30 zoom on 2560 x 1440 monitor):

.30?  That's why.  I can hardly read analogue gauges at that zoom.  Try .7 or closer.  Also I recommend Track IR if you can find one.  If you cant definitely have a hat switch on your joystick/yoke.

What does your "Zoom Level" say for the CJ4 at the MSFS Game Bar's camera icon?  I think the default is '35' when you press Ctrl-Space (now that I think of it, I don't think the '35' default is .35 or 35%).

I'm not sure what default is but I zoom in because I use Track IR and turning my head is fairly simple if I need to glance at another instrument.

I do agree though that glass has always been difficult to read in our flight simulations.
