Any love for the humble Beechjet 400A?

Yep, I agree.  Ron ran out of steam amongst some personal problems.  I was working with him on a new Learjet for FSX when it all came apart.  That is unfortunate, for sure. His Beechjet had a nice following and would make a good addition to MSFS provided you can attract a good mod team to tweak it.  I would like to see any new Corporate jet brought in to MSFS.

Regards,

Ray

That's unfortunate to hear about Eaglesoft. I noticed their website had several jets as work in progress that were advertised as P3Dv4 and v5 compatible. The Beechjet 400 remains in my top favorite aircraft. The Milviz Learjet 60 mentioned in this topic seems to have moved to the Commercial tab on the Milviz website. And they also show a USAF T-1A Jayhawk in the works on their commercial pages. If the T-1A ever becomes available for MSFS or even P3D I would jump on purchasing it in a flash.

The Hawker was okay from them.  I liked that the APU was at least modeled.  I ended up modding mine with GTN 750 hehe so it could navigate better.  I think their C550 with native GTN 750 was maybe their best bizjet.

I'd still love a classic Citation X - I think it's the Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics - they're old but they work haha.

Beechjet niner Lima golf   ....please...  don't taxi on the grass... the real fluid Human-ATC and adventures in that sim was revolutionary...

ATC sure didn't mind letting you know when they weren't happy with you!  It really was impressive.

The Cessna Citation X 750 has the coolest cockpit of them ALL  5-glasspanels lined up sideways and all those nice curved angled panels , that really cool APU thingy... this would BE the perfect bizzjet if it had a overhead-head panel as well... haha...

That's truly the type of aircraft I'm after.  Good ones are hard to come by in any sim, really.  There's a nice Challenger coming for XP11 (but it'll have to be updated cause XP12 is coming in soon afaik).  Speaking of XP12, they seem to have the older Citation X included with the base sim - that'll be at least worth a look for me.  The Flysimware Lear 35 and the other Lear 25 (forgot the creator name) was very good - but both analogue kinda not my favorite (although I know the FSW Lear now has an FMS option).  The WT CJ4 isn't super complete systems-wise but for avionics and for a low price of free - it's very very good.  It's a bit slow.  I like the Longitude better but we'll have to wait till WT updates the G3000 to make that Garmin suite more of a capable navigation system.  I know there are a few bizjets in progress - but appear to be very early stages....  there's a Falcon 900, a Phenom 100 or 300, maybe another Lear (but again analogue gauges).  There's the Cirrus Vision Jet which I'll likely buy but it's really slow in the bizjet realm.  Milviz had a Lear 60XR going I think for P3D.  Not sure if they plan on bringing that to MSFS.  Hope so- as that is a type of bizjet I'd love to see.  I guess if I had a choice it would be a quick Falcon, like 2000S, or FA8X etc.  Love to see a Global jet too.  Just something fast...like .85 or better MMO.  Fast and glass hehe!

OH yes please on the Falcon 900 - such an elegant and LARGE business jet, and still a ton of em flying around. The Gulfstreams and Globals are big beautiful aircraft, but the Falcon 900 is boss.

btw are you guys saying that the Facebook previewed Eaglesoft group aircraft citation X750/bombardierChallenger 
"are" cancelled or something??   Not moooore BAD news.... nooooo craaaap...

- - - -
flyerkg  "Rest assured" that a T1A Jayhawk style "textured model atleast" for the Millitary folks would be included, 

IF I get the right "Green-light" from the community..I'm dependant on a "team effort" to make it happen, BEFORE "I" hand over the money to the 3D-ARTIST, who I have talked to earlier this evening?
We are allowed to do anything to the 3D aircraft modell as long as NO SOURCE-FILES are NOT uploaded ANYWHERE... only as a complete addon-aircraft WITHOUT source-files...     AND NO SALES....of it!!!!!!!!!!!

The T1-A Jayhawk variant was "instrumental to Peter James" providing technical data details on the FU-3 Beechjet , Its an important part of FU3 history...

I'm hoping Carenado brings the Hawker,XL560,390 Premiere and S550 Citation to MSFS.

I loved the H25B H850XP in FSX!

One of the most beautiful exterior/interior models in FSX IMO.

 

The most painful to watch video I've ever seen! Wanted to put the pilots head in a vice to keep it from moving.

Hi again, Guys I have just loaded "a preview" of it in 3DsMax 2013. But I have STILL NOT purchased it YET,

But.....

I'm telling ya it's a Beaut'  this ting reaaally looks like a Beechjet!!  😮 😮  ohhh woow 😄 😄

 

"3D specs" for the Low-poly version from Max

Total

Polys:    87,636       0

Tris:       170,865     0

Verts:      92,560     0

The Author told me it would probably need to be optimized.. 

There is a "basic" interior modelled also in the cabin and cockpit but really basic

 

Lousy formatting i'm on the cellphone...

Hopefully this isn't falling on deaf ears, how's the project going? If anything at all. 

[blueshark747 1,843]

Cockspur are working on a Hawker XP so that's close enough for me.

[ckyliu 1,749]

@blueshark747 400 XP or 800 XP? Two different aircraft types.

EDIT: It's the 800 XP (BAe 125-800 derived from the HS 125) https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/hawker-800xp-by-cockspur/544106 A lovely business jet but completely different and a lot bigger than the Beechjet Hawker 400

Just did more research on the 400a no idea it was originally designed by Mitsubishi😲

The 400a looks gives me Citation vibes...

So yea the CJ4 and Mustang both satisfy that particular exterior design aesthetic for me.

I prefer the open cockpit glass view of the CJ4 and Mustang over the 400a's particular partitioned section glass design.

That slanted pillar design of the 400a just urks me as well as the HondaJet's cockpit window design and visibility

They'll have to improve an awful lot on their efforts on the Mustang for it to be of any interest.

Doubt it's gonna happen to your standards of satisfaction at this point...🤣

Rune-EHND last visited this site in March 2022, so this little project has probably been relegated to the scrap heap. Fantastic avatar though, and the Beechjet 400A was easily my favourite aircraft in Flight Unlimited 3 (and I used that simulator exclusively for 8 years). Wonderful memories.....
