It's looking great so far in MSFS

Phenom 100

Phenom 300E

FlightFX HJet

Asobo Longitude

Asobo CJ4

FlightFX Cirrus Vision (Upcoming)

Mustang (Upcoming)

Challenger 300 (Upcoming)

Now I just need the...

Carenado 390 Premiere

Carenado H25B H850XP

 Flysimware Learjet 35A

LHC Epic Victory

on the list and I'd be quite the happy camper.

Huh? Phenom 100? --> where

Phenom 300E --> seems mediocre

Default CJ4 with WT mod

the Longitude being the only real long range bizjet

the PMDG 737 ist still a work in progress --> no proper simbrief integration, shoddy texture work, no efb.

I'd hardly call that "looking great".

The plane could still use some work, but as it's pretty much using default CJ4 mechanics but I do like it with this mod so far. 

It fits the mood of a quick luxurious trip of the wealthy elite.🤣

It doesn't hold a candle to the Carenado Phenom 100s visuals, but being rendered in VR's stereoscopic 3D makes it look good anyway.

I like these visuals along with the WT mod for the CJ4

Not sure of this.  It really has its own niche,  It charters round $3000 an hour and carries say  5 passengers reasonable distances.  This means a company can use this jet for little more than the cost of airlines for its corporate business in medium range flights with the associated saving of airport waiting time flexibility and the ability to just pass through the FBO without all the messing round with the TSA,  It may bee 40% slower but this is more than made up by the flexibility  and time saving at the airport.

If you're talking about the sim federation version that sells for 30 bucks on simmarket:I wouldn't fly this even as a freeware plane.

Yes I support new small developers. The dev responds quickly to feedback and is working on improvements.

I didn't mind buying it for $27.

Send me the 27 bucks, and I'll send you a limerick. More value for your money.

Ironic because it was an absolute mess when MSFS released, but is now a stellar plane in the sim.

That’s good to know, I remember flying it soon after MSFS was released and it certainly was a frustrating mess, I never flew it again.  Will have to try it again now.

With these two mods in the Community folder, the Longitude is great to fly in every aspect - other than the AP VNAV mode is non-fuctional.   The VNAV advisory is perfect, but you need to use VS to track the descent down.

I have to agree. Using those mods the Longitude is my a/c of choice. Even though full VNAV is not available I've used it to shoot many RNAV approaches using the VS to follow the indicators and it has been right on.

I may buy the HJ just to support a new developer but at this point, I'll still keep the Longitude as my a/c of choice.

Reading comments like these reminds me how frustrating and incomprehensible it is to me that Microsoft have not offered the premium edition aircraft at a reasonable price as an upgrade for those who bought the standard edition. I just don't understand what could possibly be blinding them to this easy sale for so many of us.

They have. There are upgrades available for the premium and ultimate versions.

My point is that although they call them 'upgrades', they are absurdly close to the original cost of each version: the Premium 'upgrade' costs $79.99 (original cost $89.99) while the Premium Deluxe 'upgrade' costs $84.99 (original cost $119.99).  Given the actual difference in content, each should be priced closer to $30 at most.

He was referring to the deluxe aircraft though.  If you take an upgrade you're paying for the additional custom airports too.   I bought the Premium Deluxe from the get-go because I wanted the SR22, C172 analogue and the Longitude.

However, I'm personally not fussed about custom airports, and if there had been an option to just buy standard MSFS and pay MS for the deluxe aircraft (as addons), I'd have taken that route.

You can upgrade.
