Nevertheless, for its time, the Primus 2000 was very much “state of the art”, and is still fully useable today. It was/is found in a lot of different bizjets and regional airliners, including the Lear 45, Falcon 900EX and Embraer EMB-145 Thanks for this. It has certainly survived the “test of time”. Must have been exceptionally remarkable when first introduced! Latest video at The Flight Level Flight Over Frozen Lake Erie - Between Ice and Clouds - Ultimate Solitude - The Perfect Memory

Can't wait. dd I love the HJet but haven't touched it since the X was released, it's like a little airliner with great avionics IMO, the modern single-pilot stuff is just a little tedious in comparison now IMO

Not sure how you would consider it more tedious to operate over the X. The HJet operates like a smartphone operated smartcar in comparison to the X.

Yea not sure what you would want devs to do about the modeled view of the actual IRL aircraft cockpit/windshield view implementation. My only gripe of the HJet is the Dev's apparent neglect to implement a better throttle fuel cutoff/on function. Clicking the invisible sweetspots hidden around the level knob indents or having to map a fuel/engine shutoff hotkey with comprimises are unacceptable in 2025. Reminded me of the low effort "just click around in this blank area" TOGA button implementation of the Embraer ERJ 135LR & 145XR by Feelthere. Terrible! Other than that it's one gorgeous comfortable high tech automated bizjet which makes even the Citation X feel like an older brute dinosaur.

I'm not saying it's not accurate, I'm saying it's unpleasant. If I'm going to sit in that cockpit for an hour or four, I kind of need the seating position and view to be acceptable, personally. I love the view from the X, I'm happy with the views from the 35A and the Cirrus.

I do agree there's just something stuffy about its windshield pillar design that takes a while to get comfortable with especially regarding blind spots. It actually takes me quite a while to adjust and fine tune my perfect view/seating position to the windshield in VR. As for best Bizjet outward view design my personal favorite would certainly be the C510 Mustang, then Cirrus and 35A.

August 3, 2025Aug 3 Marwan rocks in both cases but the HJET fits my needs better due to my airport array and distances. Also the X reminds me of a tubeliner which is a no go. lol dd

Well I have a history (a good while ago) where I raced prototype sport coupes. All I cared about was checking my mirrors for threats from behind and looking out in front at what was next, and I have not since had so much fun and satisfaction. With flight simulation, at FL altitudes, I focus on flying and I try to avoid "tunnel vision"...... I do respect your choice.
