Oops.  2 numbers.

This has been corrected by the original painter.  Two liveries in the one package, one CTN, one N77VA.  Excellent and fast work.  Thanks, Oliveiralberto.

I now understand why the plane was priced so low. It requires an ultimate navigraph subscription to truly shine. If you want all the bells and whistles of this amazing little bird, you need one. Keep this in mind if you decide to buy the HJet.

I’d say that’s a little far fetched. You need a subscription to view the charts in the Fenix A320 as well.. but that does not hamper most peoples enjoyment. 

Pricing really has nothing to do with this.

That may be one opinion on value, so be it. But the Hjet is an excellent model as it arrives in your hangar. The best GA aircraft to-date for MSFS. 

Since 2015 I have used FltPlan Go app on the iPad to connect to PC based simulators and with it I have had free charts and live moving map. That holds true in MSFS for using any model, including this new Hjet. That FltplanGo app has so much more, like superb flight planning,  live weather radar and depiction of the live position of weather fronts, and depiction of actual winds aloft selected by flight level.  FltplanGo justified my purchase of a $400 iPad.  With FSX, FSX SE, and P3D, that in combination with Active Sky or FS Global Real Weather was fantastic.  When that live weather accuracy consistently finds its way to MFSF it too will see that immersion. 

And, live charts in previous sims required some form of 3rd party purchase or subscription, whether that be Navigraph charts, or purchase of the excellent Garmin-Trainer based GPS gauges from Reality XP, which contained charts databases.  I just do not recall all of that being provided by an add on aircraft model.

My point is that depth of content does not all need to come from an aircraft.  It can easily be acquired and deployed elsewhere if subscription costs are an issue. 

When I look at this Hjet from Marwan I instead for the first time see the justification for a Navigraph Charts subscription.  Marwan has justified that subscription, much like FltplanGo justified my iPad purchase several years ago.  Just my humble opinion.

......and that is certainly opinion!

I'm sorry, but perhaps the best add-on payware business jet..... but best of all of GA?   Where we have the Milviz C310, The Flysimware C414, the FS Reborn Sting S4 and others?

I'm sure the HJet will evolve and improve into something special but at this point, it's quite a reach to claim it's the best GA in MSFS.

(That's just an opinion of course!)

I love all of these GA addons lately but... (In My Personal Opinion)

Doesn't hold a candle to the visuals of the 414A nor 310R. 

Also the 310R's initial release had way less issues and was much more polished than the HondaJet.

 

Not even close....

I think he meant to say that it is the best light jet to date in MSFS which I totally agree with.  My 414 is on the shelf for the duration because of this plane.

Guys, stupid question. Where are light switches (nav, strob, beacon, taxi etc)?

All exterior lights will operate automatically based on status of aircraft at certain modes or time of day, etc.  Optionally the pilot(s) can turn them on individually thru the interface on the right hand TSC (same interface where all doors and interior lights can be activated). (eg. Beacon on when engine started, strobes on entering RWY, etc)

Anyone know how to start the timer on the PFD? Don't see the option in the softkeys.

Read the Simplicity and Automation section of the following review.  I also earlier today posted a link to the actual Hondajet Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) and its detailed in there as well.

I don't think that there's a way to do it.

That's what I was afraid of. On my second full flight and this is feeling more "default quality" the more I dig in. Lots of issues with the navigation that are reminiscent of the G1000 pre-NXi.

In the 3 hour video Fabio asked the dev if he could start the timer when on final approach. Could not make out what was said. Let me check again.

Update: Just checked and he wanted to start the timer for the procedure turn, but the button has not been added yet. There's a small clock, but no button yet.

So, what does it mean if if the altitude and speed ribbon displays show all Xs?
