I forgot about this one. Looks great! With this and the Skyward Simulations C680 coming soon too, it looks like we're going to be well catered for when it comes to high quality bizjets this year.

Given that the avionics are made by FSS, I do not expect a really working version within the next weeks.

Yeah, the FSS avionics in this are a huge asterisk. Definitely going to wait after release. That's when actual users, and not streamers, start asking questions about why X functionality is wrong or missing.

It looks good otherwise, though.

Auch! I wasnt aware of that 🫠

I gotta make paints for this, the C680, the E55P from Raul at FSreborn, the WT/Asobo Praetor, the Lear 45 from the Justflight the ABCD from XYZ company 😉

Gonna be a busy spring/summer!

I’m hoping this one is good!

But if it isn’t, we’ve also got the FSR Phenom and (possibly) the Praetor to anticipate. 

The C680 Sovereign is interesting to me, but I really need to see how it improves on the C700, which is a dang good addon. 

Since they’re so similar, It’ll come down to physics for me, more or less. 

And, of course, I’m still (im)patiently awaiting the FSW Lear 2.0 upgrade to release on the MS MP. I already really like v1, so… 😁

I actually picked this up from them directly a couple of weeks ago having waited to see some reviews and it is pretty nice. I have been busy and only had time to work through the manual and do two "test" flights to start getting the flows down. So far I have been pleasantly impressed with how it flies and the increased depth of systems over the V1.

The sovereign maybe isn't as visually stunning as the Longitude but it does handle short runways way better.  I forgot the exact numbers but the takeoff distance is like 30% shorter for the C680 vs the C700.  Similar for landing I want to say.

And the cruise MMO is only 2.mach points slower in the C680.

Edit so 3580 vs 4800ft.  Landing is similar I guess.  But that's a huge stat to consider!

My 737-600 can handle 4500 feet. I am hoping that the JustFlight Fokker 70 will be able to beat that by a significant margin :wink:

Should do, depending on what you consider “significant”.

seems to be on par with the RJ / 146, which are still my preference for funky old airliners 😎
