What do people think about the above - I just saw Asobo longitude available to purchase on marketplace as standalone, I currently own deluxe version of the sim hence why longitude did not come as default package. I do not fancy paying £70 for premium deluxe upgrade so I'd rather just get what I need.  Is it worth it - I heard good things about it so far. 

 

I Like it.  There are some external artwork issues that need to be cleaned up (LOD transitions when zooming out - I think).  But, close up I think its beautiful and flies well.

Worth it depends.  Is it expensive?  Can you afford it?  Regardless as an owner of the 2020 and 2024 Longitude I think I can unconditionally say it is a wonderful and technically competent plane.  If you do purchase it I believe you will not be disappointed.  YMMV  TANSTAAFL.  Blue skies,

I can't live with having the panel so close to my chest, it feels so claustrophobic. But I'm told it is pretty good. 

One of the most in-depth and well executed default aircraft, both systems and flight model wise. Beefy manual too 🙂 https://flightsimulator.azureedge.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Cessna-Model-700-Operators-Guide.pdf

It is currently on sale on marketplace with for around $14 I think. But personally It would be worth it, Currently bored of flying only C750 as business jet, I'm sure this could potentially add as another plane that I could fly alternating it with C750. I personally don't like CJ4.

Yeah that's what I heard too - well no harm I guess in trying since it is on sale. 

I highly recommend it.  It's probably the second most (or tied for second) in depth bizjet for any simulator.  

It's very automated and very glass haha... so if that's not your thing it's probably not for you.

It was done in house by Asobo for artwork and workingtitle for avionics and systems.  Asobo does typically excel in the art department and WT is incredible in the avionics department.  Sounds are decent as well.

I bought it a few months ago and I like it, its ok for sure and I pretty much fly the hotstart 650 in XP12 all the, now obviously its no were near on that level but yes....its good if your into business jets like me!👍

Highly recommend - for me it’s become my primary “airliner”, along with the FSR500. 

It’s very deeply simulated (eg, even hydraulic temp is taken into account.

also matches IRL book performance very closely  

the thing I really like is that operating the aircraft itself is relatively simple. 

That allows you to really focus on Pilot Stuff and actually going places rather than fiddling with dozens of switches just to keep the aircraft running.

There’s probably no better way to spend $14 in the sim. 👍

I feel the same way as I cannot move my viewing position back far enough to be 'comfortable' and I do not want to change my zoom profile.  It's the only aircraft I have experienced that...

I actually like how nice and close it is...  bizjets are usually fairly cramped irl.  The C700 is superb in VR - excellent immersion.

Anyway, it's got weather/nexrad, auto throttles, VNAV, charts integration (I think in 2024 it does the default and navigraph if you subscribe to that).  You can view METAR or regular weather readouts right in the FMS.  The Garmin G5000 is simply wonderful.

Superb visuals as well, the 2024 version has a cabin too - TimHH and I made a few paints (it's complex to paint in 24 so there aren't many for 2024 - much more for 2020)

 

I forgot to add, you can actually split the PFD and have your approach plates on the right 1/3 of the PFD... and then you can set the right half of the MFD to weather, TAWS or traffic.

I just flew a awesome VR flight at night around PNW in IMC in the Longitude - it had been far too long!  What an incredible jet!

For those still using 2020 I wouldn't recommend it after the CitationX release.  In 2020 you have a plane with no visible cabin, the doors don't open, and the HUD doesn't work (don't have the HUD visible in the cockpit if there's no plans of ever implement it).  It was good enough when we didn't have any other option in it's class. The Longitude is the successor to the CitationX+ which to me is a downgrade considering the loss in the advantage of speed.  

That being said for the 2024 crowd it's a good buy for no more than the fact you have a fully rendered cabin with working entry/cargo doors.  Things like this make a sim model feel complete especially with the amazing WT gauges.  In 2020 it's a hard pass....👎😔
