A quick repositioning flight from L35 Big Bear, CA to Burbank (L35 PDZ V186 VNY KBUR)

This is the Longitude with AAU1 avionics - wow what an addon!  Makes having Premium worth it!  I highly highly recommend the premium package if you don't already have it.

The Longitude has neat features (aside from deep systems) like metar, nexrad, wx radar, SVT, AT, RNP capabilities (with full VNAV)....  and it's pretty fast - MMO of .84 - can't complain there for those long haul trips.

Anyway....

Most of socal was IFR early this evening - here's a sucker hole!

This awesome RNP ability - keeps you right on track vertically and laterally

(sort of on the north side of BUR for the RNP 08)

Love this feature - weather lookup!

I don't really know where the bases were but we broke out into rain showers - ugh!

Nice set! Looks like you are having the time of your life in that bird! Pretty polished flight deck too!

Nice pics! How come the Longitude has wx radar, no other plane does!?

I think the tbm has it too.

Fantastic flight and shots Ryan. Plus interesting information on that plane. Travelling in style...

Great shots, Ryan. Our sim gets better and better !!

Wonderful imaged Ryan and that is a beautiful plane.

Way too complicated for me but you appear to be having a ball.

Nice weather for me, I love it and those avionics are sweet indeed.  I forget, is this a payware plane?  If it's by a certain company that begins with a c and ends with an o then hard pass.

Very nice shots! 🙂

I believe its not actual radar onboard the plane, its Connext...I think the G3000 has it, because the HondaJet has the G3000 and has it as well

Weather is still bad in SoCal as I just landed at KLAX.  (the pic above is not of that flight...just one I had showing Connext weather depiction).

@ryanbatc  Stunning pics!  That plane is simply gorgeous and I'm waiting for the AAU update (I don't do MSFS betas as I beta test the PMDG 737 and can't have it on my system).   Can't wait 'till it drops...although I love my little HJ!

Hey Jack...this is the Cessna Longitude that comes free with the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS.  I believe Ryan is flying the current beta version with the Avionics update that we'll all be getting in the next release.  This bird alone when this update comes out will be worth the extra cost of the premium deluxe edition (to me anyway).  I don't know if the C....o company initially built her for MSFS way back when it was launched...but if it has a C......o exterior model which we all know they excel at...and a WT G3000 and updated flight dynamics....I'm all in. 🙂

Actually I believe the c700 has both radar and nexrad - if you go to the weather icon you can select which source will be drawn on your MFD.

Thanks Steve.  I too have the Premium Deluxe version but if it has anything at all to do with said company then it’s a hard pass for me.  Don’t want to elaborate why publicly.

AFAIK, the offending company did different Citations for P3D, none with a full glass cockpit. I've just done a quick search of the files and they all list "Asobo" in the copyright sections, there's no mention of C...o (or A...beo for that matter).

Thanks for that.  I’ll try it out soon.  I like planes with depth, planes where all the systems actually work.  People have different opinions which is fine but my benchmarks are A2A and PMDG.  I really hope to see A2A in MSFS soon.
