I'm really looking forward to Gulfstream. And this plane impresses me too.

The plane seems to be just a little bit too big right?

Gulfstream? Good luck with that in a flight sim.

Reminded me of all the nice planes that Eaglesoft Development Group used to make. 

A shame they went under.

Same. I am a little bit sad that this one will be the X+ with Garmin 5000 suite instead of the awesome "old school" Primus 2000. Had a lot of fun with the Eaglesoft Citation X back in P3D and FSX.

All I can say is based on the B314 not sure if this will be the decent rendition we all would hope for.😌  We'll see.😐

Maybe it will be called the G-Jet, like the H-Jet!

As cool as this could be....their recent 314 leaves a bit to be desired. This may be decent for those who don't have the Longitude already. I have spent a lot of time in the longitude and frankly a half baked X just doesn't excite me as much as something else could (like say a hawker or a big Embraer Praetor etc)

I agree. 

What would this Citation X offer that the Longitude doesn't? Leaving aside the different specs. 

You would really need to hit a home run for me to buy this: top class visuals, inside and out, everything that moves and can be opened on the real plane also opens and moves in the sim, highly detailed luxury cabin, outstanding avionics package. Basically, no "INOP" at all. 
Full Navigraph and simbrief integration, state of the art EFB, etc. - now, that I would buy and pay good money for. 

What I don't want is another Cockspur Citation Mustang.

They used a bad camera angle to showcase this plane! It is definitely stretched in this image. Hopefully they will show a perfect side view!

Yep, website is history. Just checked! To much micro-management and lack of willingness to expand sealed the fate!

Their last post appeared to be from November 2022 where he said he wasn’t convinced MSFS was the future of flight simming or something to that effect.  I guess the ostrich approach finally took its toll.

They are developing a Citation XLS for P3D v4/5 I don't think they have much interest in MSFS.
