I also have this plane in PD3 and was blown away how great it was. Haven't flown it in a while, so I downloaded the manual again to be ready for the release.

Here's a book about real life flying the Learjet that was suggested by the developer. A nice and easy read (reads like a novel):

Edit: this is a really good buy/value:

Hopefully it will support TDS GTNxi.

I had this in p3d was pretty good.

This statement from their marketing supports your premise (emphasis mine), “This complex aircraft simulator features the classic retrofitted GNS 530 virtual cockpit, 14 liveries, full PBR materials and textures, high resolution 3D models, hundreds of animations, visual effects, and sound effects, custom aircraft systems, support for optional third-party GPS/GNS systems and radars*, interior/exterior dynamic lights, and a new 300-page flight manual available in English or French.”

Really trying to decide if I really need the Lear 25. Since I own the 35A already.

Well I'm a collector....of course I need it!🤣

Isn't just flight also making LJ45 and LJ45XR ? Three Lears to choose from!

I have both Learjet variants in P3D and preferred the Learjet 25D. Whereas the 35A only had one panel to choose from, the Learjet 25D had 4 panel choices!

The four panels included in the Learjet 25D in P3D:

Seems we're not getting any previews of this before the release tomorrow, assuming it's still on?
I don't know this developer's history from previous simulators but to me a complete absence of previews is generally a red flag. Hoping not because at least on the website and in their manual it looks quite good.

FlightFX didn't  preview their Citation X before it was released.  And it has turned out to be a fantastic aircraft.

Not at all.  Sometimes amazing addons just appeared out of the blue...  Nowadays everyone wants streams and streams.  Meh just gimme a manual and a beautiful addon!

The aircraft was very good in previous versions of P3D. 

Interesting note from the 300+ page manual for tomorrow's scheduled release (p.50):
"Included with your GLJ Model 25 addon for MSFS is the Classic Retrofitted GNS 530 Virtual Cockpit. This represents the interior of a typical retrofitted Gates Learjet Model 25D business jet still in use today. Note: More cockpit/panel configurations, such as with GTN and G1000 navigation systems, may become available as separate Xtreme Prototypes addons for this aircraft in the future."

I had it in P3d. It wasn't fully realistic - it had an autothrottle for some reason even though the real one did not. But you weren't required to use it, and the rest of the jet, it really captured the 70s very well. I used to joke that you could almost taste the cocaine floating in the air. 😉   Great addon.

Love the song selection in the working 8-track player!

Agreed that sometimes the preview cycle gets obnoxiously long, but before spending 50 or 60 bucks on an add-on I at least like to see a few of the reviewers I generally trust take a look at it first so that I can hopefully make an informed decision rather than not having any real understanding of what I'm getting.

The 25D is released.

For 50 Canadian dollars I have to read appendix 2 on how manually edit panel cfg to switch gauges or install none existing 3rd party WX radar LOL No thanks ! I would do it for freeware but not payware !

I want to see at least one video first.
