I'd say the second most detailed behind the Hot Start Challenger in XP. I like it, but. It is a very simple exterior model. But way better than the expert series ATR. I simply don’t believe that it is ms/Asobos interest to do an aircraft with depth. I may be wrong but that’s my thought.

Quite honestly though, most simmers don't want uber high end in depth stuff. But I'd be happy to spend a good amount of money on an in depth one. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

I work with these Praetors IRL daily and it looks like they nailed it! https://msfsaddons.com/2025/03/11/microsoft-flight-simulator-announces-embraer-praetor-600-as-part-of-new-strategic-partnership/ Honestly the more I look at this modeling/texturing... that could be in-house Microsoft/Asobo. Which I think would be a good thing - their visuals are superb and WT would do the Pro Line Fusion... I don't see why it wouldn't be AS good if not better than the C700. Since Microsoft and Embraer just began this partnership, I can't really see Microsoft handing the project off to another dev contract. Just all speculation of course though! I sat in one of these jets almost a decade ago in Duluth (before they turned into the Praetor), when Embraer was performing icing testing on the early Legacy 450/550 aircraft. We got to meet the test pilots - they were amazingly kind and let us into the hangar to "play around" with the avionics. Here's a few old pics I took! I'll be honest I'm not even sure if the avionics are the same as what's used in the Praetor today? Perhaps @Mets737 can tell us? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
