I'm not going to get excited...

1. We all know Gulfstream's history with this hobby.

2. It could be just a model with a stock MSFS panel.

3. Until there are whispers from Gulfstream and/or a licensed developer, see steps 1 and 2.

I've yet to ever see anything from Gulfstream over an FS model.  I've heard rumors for almost two decades.  It's a decent looking model for now.  Maybe it'll be freeware.  There's already a freeware one for XP11.

Pretty sure I saw the cease and desist letter, about 15-20 years ago.  The dev posted it.

That's a long time ago.  But it's possible.  I mean I remember the days when American Airlines had a C+D for people making liveries.

I've been waiting for this in FS for years.  Like 'Ranold' said above we know Gulfstream's history so I'm not holding my breath.

I'd take default gauges to have this model, cabin, and cockpit.  As long as it performs to the POH I'll take compromises.

EDIT:  Looks like this is a fake.

Why is it a fake?  Looks to me like the who "leaked" the pics is also the dev hehe (just a hunch).

We need confirmation not innuendo. 😏

Gulfstream has been highly against an FS model.

[ryanbatc 12,813]

It's a model in the sim.  Seems pretty clear to me that someone models and textured a GLF5 or 6 I'm not sure which one.  It has the camera under the nose I think.

I held my breath....I died.

I really really don't want to get my hopes up, I know Gulfstream are big babies when it comes to simulators etc. I've been working with these amazing machines IRL for the last 6+ years and always dreamed about being able to have one in the sim. Can this be the time? FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!

I read the post. Looks like bs to me. 

Also, the gulfstreams have a very distinctive looking flight deck, what Gulfstream calls their "symmetry flight deck" (check out the many youtube videos on this). If this isn't modeled, I'm not interested.

The new Gulfstreams that are being produced (G500, G600, G700) have the "symmetry flight deck" the one being show is a G550 which does not have the symmetry flight deck

I'd donate a word not allowed for an older G4 SP that was well done.

I too wouldn't mind if they borrowed like the g3000 setup for this one. Works well enough with the mod.
