And that $30 price tag is thanks to MS subsidizing their marketing costs and promoting for them. All in all, I don't think FFX is my cup of tea. I was hoping for PMDG-tier for bizjets, instead we get Carenado+. I’ve never seen as much praise for any Carenado product in any sim as this one has received. And AFAICT, it’s all well deserved. I don’t think anyone was expecting a “study level” aircraft, particularly not for $30… The X is, arguably, one of the best Mid-Tier addons available, and it really seems to hit the sweet spot for people who appreciate a well rendered addon that’s still undeniably high value. if you really want a Hi Fi biz jet, the PMDG BBJ’s are available, as well as the excellent Challenger 650.

Faster, higher & farther flying, as well as more famous by far than the Defaults. And if you have the C650, I’m surprised you’re looking for anything else, frankly. If those are your standards, the BBJ is going to be the best study level biz jet available in MSFS for quite awhile.

Just not study level. which pretty much everyone knew from the start, and the reviews consistently revealed it. And if nothing else, the $30 price should be considered “a clue”.

I love so much about this initial release I'm backing it up just in case the update doesn't live up to the original vision.🤞 I have to agree that this is one of the most hidden treasures developed for flight sim world. I can't get enough of flying this jet. It has immersive systems and a blast to fly. Don't pass this opportunity up. Just buy it and enjoy what it has to offer.

So let me get this straight…? I'm stupid because I know a mid-tier addon when I see one, but you’re the one who bought it without first ensuring it meets your needs…? Lol - okay, pal 😂

Arguably one could go to Black Square, A2A, or the Longitude for similar GA fidelity. I’d bet a few of the Tier 1 airliners are peer-level, as well. Depends on how fast and how big you’re willing to go. 😎🤙 Edited August 30, 2025Aug 30 by UrgentSiesta
