What aviation suite does the Praetor use? anything that is already present in MSFS?

Quick google search says Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion. And no that's not in MSFS

So I wonder if they'll sub it for something else, or if Working Title will be making yet another avionics system lol

It's Pro Line Fusion

The Beechcraft King Air 350i IRL also uses the Pro Line. So if they do make it for the Preator, they could probably update the 350i at some point as well.

the 350i in the sim right now uses Garmin avionics.

Is this for MSFS 20 or 24?

That would be a dream. Been hoping for sometime now that the king air glass would get some love.

It doesn't say in the xbox article, they just keep saying it's for 'Microsoft Flight Simulator', so it might be for both.

Though the Instagram images do use the 2024 logo.

I was wondering this as well...😐

I feel like it would be 2024 only

This is a good point.  PLF might also work in the king air

Personally I have no interest in any aircraft signed MS/Asobo. Still waiting for a working ”Expert series” ATR. And that aircraft says it all.

I see what you're saying but the C700 is also MS/Asobo and it's a superb bizjet.  I'd say the second most detailed behind the Hot Start Challenger in XP.

Ryan, are the systems fully modeled in the C700? Does it have greater depth than the Citation?

Here's two whole hours of systems overview: 

And 130 pages of manual: https://flightsimulator.azureedge.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Cessna-Model-700-Operators-Guide.pdf

There was a special event at Campo de Marte showcasing the real aircraft: 

 

So, no ideas on the Dev yet.

I do hope it lives up to it's Expert moniker, at least in the sense of a good flight model and reasonably accurate systems.

And I'm curious, in the grand scheme of things, how these paid Expert add-ons compare via a vis the higher end/recent Default aircraft which are "free"...? I.e., the iniBuilds Airbuses, MilTech C-17, Longitude, CJ4, and others...?

IIRC, the ATR was $20-ish, and was of higher fidelity than the regular Defaults at the time. But wasn't really a High Fidelity rendition.

So...will the Praetor be higher fidelity yet over even the upgraded Longitude, and thus "worth it" in that regard...

...or will it be a case of, if you want another decent-ish biz jet a la PC-24, well, we have to charge something for it.

I'm not complaining, btw, just curious.

I guess if it's higher fidelity than the CJ4/Longitude, I can see going for it. But if it's just another pretty biz jet, eh...I'd have to at least wait for a sale.

Oh, and p.s.: since Embraer is a partner, here's to hoping the C-390 joins the lineup, too!
