Where else can you get a Study Level modern tubeliner for $36...? The minimum cost of entry used to be $99...smh. PMDG are a pricing outlier, though. What we're seeing from the established ESP tubeliner vendors , and other new ones like Fenix, is a price range of $65 (Fenix & iniBuilds) to $70-ish (JustFlight) through to $80-ish (Leonardo). So the MSFS Hi Fi teams are still in the "high price" category, and not too much less than what X-Plane tubeliner devs are charging. A2A, however, are charging exactly the same in MSFS as they were in P3D, or about $50 USD per addon (with just one or two being $70 IIRC). To be clear, A2A's pricing is entirely within reason for the products they're supplying. I.e., I consider them to be a "good value". I agree !

December 28, 20241 yr Here is a video I think best profiles this aircraft that focus how this aircraft flies and the TDS GTN 750 Xi that will come later. This is what makes me want to get this aircraft. Edited December 28, 20241 yr by BobFS88

December 28, 20241 yr Now we will just have to enjoy while we wait for the TDS GTN integration 🙂 In my hangar, waiting for a slot of desktop sim time along this weekend 😍 I remember when Goran first mentioned being involved in a new project ... Is Goran still part of the dev team for the CJ 525 ?

The TDS GTN is really a nice feature which is why some many were so excited with it came out for the other sim. But I am glad they are making for us as well.

January 4, 20251 yr This looks amazing! How does the CPU load for this compare to say the Default Citation X?
January 4, 20251 yr I will be interested in how resource hungry this bird is, before making a decision on making the purchase. It sure does look good!

I bought it about a week ago. I have a 5 year old gaming rig (ryzen 2700x with an rtx 2080, 32gb ram, NVME). It's very well optimized and it lives up to its billing in all regards. Would buy again (which test many add-ons fail).
January 5, 20251 yr The false positive malware detection by Win Defender has also finally been fixed by MS, so users that install from now on will no longer be presented with a CJ 525 without gear and button interaction. I forgot to exclude the XP12 folder, as I usually do, in my sim drive, so I was surprised when I first loaded the aircraft. A visit to the X-Pilot forums gave me the solution, which I applied and worked, but meanwhile @Cameron XA kindly sent me a PM with the final info, after MS finally added the "suspect" files to Defender's whitelist.
