Great to hear!, and for that price wow. Do you know if they're taking advantage of the aerodynamics and physics improvements introduced in SU8/SU9?

I believe so, yes, but don't quote me on that. I'm no modeler/programmer. Obviously not the propeller feature!

There's some screenshots in this article that showcases the interior: https://msfsaddons.com/2022/04/20/remember-the-hondajet-its-finally-coming-to-msfs-as-flightfx-secures-publishing-agreement-with-the-developer/

Yes, seen those. None are of the cockpit.

@CLE_AA-5B_GrummanTiger  Curious if you can discuss the sounds of the Hjet. From switch clicks, startup sounds, power increase/decrease, wheel touchdown, etc. Very interested of your experience with this beauty.

I'm literally the worst person to ask about that!!! I'm partially deaf (total loss in left ear, severe in right with a hearing aid).

But...I do hear enough that I enjoy music and can chat fine with people (albeit with difficulty at times).

So, I'll tell you what I can about sounds based on my experience as well as other testers. The sounds are very nicely done with a distinctive engine whine (particularly nice touch is that warbling after start-up). I do know that some of the sounds (engines, for one), were recorded straight from a real-life source.

If it helps others to be more confident about the fidelity and accuracy of this aircraft, a couple of testers are typed pilots.

As well as extending the WT G3000 with custom pages for the H-Jet, I believe he's also managed to include a custom VNAV as well (which the standard WT G3000 doesn't have).

I can find very few shots of the cockpit. 

There's a ton on the Discord channel

Ah thanks. I'll wait for the traditional channels. They'll appear soon enough.

I was actually looking for a VC pic that I took recently and didn't find any hehe...  Maybe I'll take one for you later today when I'm home 🙂

Everything you’ve been saying today is getting me really excited for release. I’ve been going back and forth on the new twins, and which to pick up. Was looking for more speed/range so was leaning towards the 414, and you post the release video for the Hjet in a week and a half! Totally awesome 👏. Like DJJ I think said, I’m more pumped up for this then any of the Fenix/MD/737 stuff. Great to have a lot of superb options! And appreciate the info you and others are posting. 
 

So you expect a Marketplace release on 5/31. Do you know if it’s planned to be released on Orbx the same day?

And now I badly want a new Honeycomb yoke model, a Honeycomb Hjet yoke...

AFAIK, Marketplace only, no Orbx or any other third-party resellers.

I will definitely be looking for reviews on this one.
