The Hondajet has been the subject of a number of runway excursions. Without thrust reversers, it is imperative that you don't land fast or land long. The runway excursions that have had their investigations concluded, attributed these incidents to pilot error.

I would like to know who the first flight simmer will be, that will have a runway excursion with the new FlightFXs Hjet! Be honest and report incidents to Blancolirio ASAP please.

Weird thing happened. Made a post and it dodn't show up. Refreshed a few times. Nothing. Restarted the browser and still nothing, Reposted and then the original post shows up.

The original HondaJet was ok, but the interior, especially the cabin looked bland and sterile. Looking forward to the improvement.

The STOL Addicts paints did a beautiful / amazing job on the cockpits / interiors.

I am already planning to check them out for HJET 24 if offered.

I've had a few since the 2020 release due to bad speed control on short runways like KAVX but can pretty much nail it with the right headwind.

120 knots over the numbers is usually good enough on the shorties and rarely use the spoilers to get there. 

And of course the spoilers auto deploy after touchdown.

Large airports are not an issue.

If it looks like a slippery fish..

I've noticed this as well ...as beautiful as the plane is, it seems Honda obviously needs to retool the braking system and consider how to add spoilers or spoiler effects

I totally get beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  But it was in fact thoughtfully designed that way to create a quieter cabin for the passengers.  My issue with the hondajet (IRL) is how many of them run off the runway!

I joke.  Seriously, I'm sure it's a well-designed plane.  As for the runway excursions, I rather suspect it's a case of a plane often flown by less-experienced pilots going into smaller airports.  In other words, more a training issue than a design one.

While I've heard the same thing about all pilot error, honda in fact did redesign the plane with the elite version to include a spoiler system amongst other things.  To me it's a pilot error / human factors design thing.  But that's besides the point.  In terms of the sim, I really liked it.  

I think there have been around 30 excursions and around 250 delivered or so.  ish

I can't fly from Burbank to Vegas in anything less than my classy, fast and luxurious Anastasia!

All the way down to the rose gold/copper toilet!🤣

funny part is MANY at the company were not initially behind it as they couldn't see the utility but >that< ship has long past sailed and its a product they are very proud of 

From yours truely, a 25 year retiree of American Honda, this was a long time pet project of Mr. Soichiro Honda himself and the foundation was well underway before his death in 1991. The project was only known to a very few in its early stages.

"AI Overview

Honda and Mississippi State University (MSU) have a historic partnership in aviation, beginning in the mid-1980s when Honda researchers collaborated with MSU's Raspet Flight Research Laboratory to develop and test composite aircraft. This collaboration was pivotal in designing the Honda MH02, the world's first all-composite light business jet, which set the foundation for the modern HondaJet. "

Yup. Ah...the whole plane is without a doubt a beautiful flying dolphin.😃

What are smart glass window shades ?

The cabin windows go a dark blue tint via a GDC Sim Options setting.  Now the tint level will be adjusted automatically based on brightness I'm guessing.
