I just came back to Fs2020 after a long time, unless Navigraph Charts integration is already implemented... that was my reason.

You can integrate it into the sim through their installer, it's not back in the HJet at the moment though.....

My understanding is that now that the G3000 is officially part of the sim there are licensing issues so currently you can't display Navigraph charts on the G3000. I've also heard Navigraph is working on a way to make the charts available -- don't really understand it in any detail.

However, HJet users are using SimBrief/Navigraph to develop flight plans which they load into the G3000. You can of course display Navigraph charts in a window or on a separate monitor, just not as part of the G3000 itself. LOTS of excellent info about the HJet, charts, etc on the FlightFX discord site.

How is their smaller SF50 ?

I think it's by the same dev ?

Lagging behind because the avionics haven't been upgraded to AAU1,

No, the HJet and Vision Jet are by different developers, but both are marketed by FlightFX. Marwan Gharib is the very talented HJet developer.  https://www.flightfx.io/portfolio/hjet.  I think the Vision jet was developed in-house by FlightFX.

Could a mod edit the title of this thread?

It's clickbaity, and with it going on 11 pages and alive 8 months later, I'd hate to be the dev with this many replies and a title like that.

Yep. Add the word Just before the word Good in the title.

Its the worst titles for one of the best planes in MSFS.

I have no problems with it, got my attention. 😕

I kind of like it. It made me look too. I usually ignore the 'This aircraft will change your life' type of thread headings as they are nearly always wrong. If it gets to 5 pages I might have a look. This one however, I looked at straight away. 

After the release of AAU1 I started to fly the Longitude and absolutely love it. However, quite a few buttons etc. are inop and I like my planes to work as they should as much as possible, so with everything working and operational (even if I don't use all those options 😉 ). Now I've been looking at the Hjet: it seems to me it comes pretty close to the Longitude, specially the E2 version with autothrottle. And of course it also uses the totally awesome G3000. Speeds are a bit slower (specially climbing speeds so it seems) but what I do like is that it is (afaik) a single pilot plane (it sometimes feels odd to fly 2 pilot plane all by yourself) and it is quite suited for my usually short flights. And afaik absolutely every button works. (Right?)

However... I looked at some video's and while it looks great and seems to work well I also noticed it is all extremely automated... Apart from having to setup a few things in the G3000 starting the plane takes one button press and that's about it... Now the Longitude also is pretty automated but you have to flick a few more buttons to get going in that one.

So I was wondering: usually everyone here at AVSIM is totally into realism and seems to like lots of buttons and switches and working stuff so... why does everyone love this Hjet so much...? What am I missing here? Why is this such a great plane while you hardly have to do anything? (I am not saying that's a bad thing: as I said I love the also quit automated Longitude! I also own the Vision Jet btw but find it too slow for my current way of flying. And it still doesn't have the AAU1 update.)

Is the Hjet worth the money when you already have (and love) the Longitude (for free)? How do the two compare?

One other thing: am I correct in thinking that the Hjet has a lesser view out of the cockpit? In video's I seem to see more things blocking the view.

@tup61 This is how the real HJet is, nearly everything is automated including the engine start process. Push a button and just monitor the gauges. So, the sim version is realistic in this sense. Even all the (smart) external lights come on by themselves in automated fashion at the correct times in the real aircraft and also in the sim version. Also, the cruise speed is outstanding for a sp certified aircraft. For a single pilot jet this is all novel, and very "neato", heh.

Okay... Yes, well, it IS quite nice that you can fly this plane in an apparently utterly realistic way in MSFS but I am just a bit surprised people seem to love this kind of automation... I am a fan of automation myself (love the Airbus and love the 'new' Longitude) but it is always nice if you are able to push at least a few old fashioned buttons... Even the lights are completely automated, I noticed, or taken care of using the GTC! Afaik this Hjet is even more automated than the Vision Jet...

I am in doubt if I'd not better stick with the Longitude, but well, that one isn't a single pilot plane and thise inop buttons and switches...

If you are looking for something which simulates alot of button pushing to keep you entertained (such as boeing's or airbus) then no, absolutely not the Hjet. Stick with a larger commercial type aircraft since it is more akin to what you seem to be interested in.

There’s something to be said for a study level small jet that can go from cold and dark to taxiing in a few minutes, yet has decent speed and range. Some people just don’t have an hour to burn getting a plane in the air.

No, actually I am done flying Airbusses for now and I do like to fly the more simple and convenient planes like the Longitude (and the Vision Jet, although it's a tad slow). So I am certainly not looking for a lot of buttons. I was mainly curious to why everyone seems to like a plane like the Hjet which is so easy to use! Again, I actually do like the idea that everything works as it does in real life: after all, that's what I like and that's why I am looking for a Longitude replacement!

Exactly. It's just that I expected the Hjet to have a little bit more things to do since it is so very popular.
