In the meantime, waiting on those birds that were mentioned above, you could always use the Longitude. It's one of the best business jets, ever. The payware Honda Jet is really good also. 

The Hjet (Hondajet) is incrediby modeled, and the Hondajet is unto itself an incredible aircraft.  HIghly sophisticated simplicity.  To understand that, you need to fly it for perhaps 100 hours just to learn it and understand it.  It provides a great deal of pre-programmed capability.  How well can you manage????

Perhaps we need Eaglesoft to raise from the dead and make us some Bizjets. 😄

Their Citation X was legendary and my own favourite from their back catalogue was the old Premier.

I also don't have much faith in Cockspur.  Their recent C162 Skycatcher is dreadful.  Absolutely no functions whatsoever on the Garmins.  The little Aeroprakt is sub-default aircraft level.  The Mustang is so-so.  Pretty good flight dynamics but just feels flat and unimmersive.

I wish, but they will release something for MSFS 2020 once MSFS 2028 is out...

In terms of biz jets, MSFS 2020 has been a real disappointment. 

Sure, you have all these VLBJ - puddlejumpers, but really only one long-range biz jet: the default Longitude. Sure, the avionics are great, but rest: no doors, no cabin....

My thoughts exactly. Would have been close to perfect but no doors, no cabin, no HUD...

Ummm yea I’d take Cockspur visuals any day over anything Eaglesoft..even for the prior FSX/P3D platforms their products were anything but visually appealing.

Never going to happen, they're apparently still developing for p3d. Allegedly their XLS is in beta for 64 bit p3d, that probably means 2+ years away.

If they're still using Mindstar data I doubt they'd get many takers anyway!..

Who ever will do the Citation XLS I hope they do a better job than Carenado did and for my taste I prefer the XLS over the XLS+

I find it hard to believe that someone is going to take on the avionics systems in the PC 24, and deliver a "study level" addon.

Iris were meant to be doing a PC24, but nothing seems to be happening with it at the moment....

They flew nice though.  And decent systems.  The VNAV in their Citation X for FS9 was one of the first true custom VNAV codes.

A few steps up the ladder from Cockspur, whose G300 panels in their C162 is... unclickable 😶

Agree with that, their systems in that aircraft were first rate, textures were not great though. That said unless they make your eyes bleed I'd take systems over textures.

Cockspur still have a way to go IMHO, but at least they are live & kicking and seem to be slowly improving. ES are at best comatose...

One can only hope 83knts for a jet is wild.  I scene something associated with the pc-24 and 83knts if that is stall speed dirty at max tow that is lets just say wwwhhhaaaaat.
