October 5 they said following:

"We have decided to postpone development of the 800XP to focus on another project we are doing with an indie-dev. The reason is the current situation in Ukraine.

We will now be working with this indie-dev to complete the AN-26 for MSFS.50% of the profit will be going to charities working in Ukraine."

The 800XP external model is now fully animated and she is flying!

 

In terms of if the G650 will be any good? Who knows. Best to see how it progresses and the sort of systems it comes with etc. Interesting for sure!

You may have wanted to add that to your post to add additional context then. To add further context though Seb from Cockspur did announce this on Discord which may explain the changes of plans in regards of 800XP.

Starting January 1st I will no longer work contracts as to focus entirely on Cockspur. This is a mutual agreement with the holder of my current contract, and we part as great friends. This means more frequent updates to current releases, and a big focus on upcoming projects.

Also the G650 is mentioned to coming from one of their indie developers and they are helping them with it.

Cockspur is the new Carenado. Looks good but with very little substance and it’s cheap so you get what you pay for.

I mean for that hawker if they do a nice job implementing the WT proline 21 I'd buy it.

One must hope that the graphic model is successful and much better than their last bird the Mustang.

This is going to come with a fully modeled avionics suite, as per the real thing?

I'd go with a very firm probably not.

Gulfstream doesn't give out any information, do they?  Have they changed their tune as to sim versions of their airplanes?

All I remember out of Gulfstream were C&D letters (cease & desist)

If their talking about a G650 and 800XP I'll take my chances.😁  Looking at their Mustang these two should be good especially considering they can throw the WT G3000 in the G650.  We need some long-range Corporate Jets (it's long overdue) and if this team is taking on the challenge, they get my full support.👍

When it comes to the Gulfstream avionics, we have the WT G3000 which is perfectly acceptable to me if we get a great visual and flight model.
