I think it’s on sale at the moment, often fancied it for flying low level in the ukI’ve done a fair bit of research on this addon, but haven’t ever bought it. In fairness, if I didn’t spend so much time in the ultra Hi Fi DCS aircraft, I’m sure I would’ve. 🤙In sum, it’s reputation indicates that it’s very much worth the $20.The dev has consistently released significant improvements and bug fixes, along with a fairly recent graphics overhaul, and the flight model is well regarded.It even has a decent set of avionics for IFR flying.in contrast, the India Foxt Echo Typhoon is (like most of their addons) probably more accurately modeled in terms of switchology, 3D modeling and graphics/textures. Especially given their relationship with HeatBlur, who’s developing the Typhoon for DCS.But IFTs flight models have always been disappointing, and IMHO remain so. I have three of their addons: the MB339, the T-45 Goshawk, and their flagship addon across multiple sims, the F-35A/B/C.And I can’t stand the way ANY of them fly. They fly like they’re stuck in FSX, so I won’t be buying any more until their physics get better.In sum, as long as you’re not expecting a “study level” bird, then yeah, it’s probably going to be very good for blasting around the Mach Loop in a locally appropriate, bad a** airframe 😁FWIW, the TMS YF-23 is my current mil fave for MSFS. Native 2024 addon, good handling, great graphics (waaay better than their F-22), and, of course, super cruise 😎 Edited May 28May 28 by UrgentSiesta

(from my .2 cents 🙂)Part 121: Scheduled operations. (The Boeings and Airbus aircraft) Under this part the statement is true.Part 135: Paid Charters and Air Taxis (The upcoming Citation) Which is absolutely commercial ops. An aircraft (if it's single pilot certified) can be operated single pilot for hire. The biggest limiting factor under this part is insurance. Atleast here in the states.All that being said the Citation 680 as we all know requires two crew as its type certification demands it ,135 and 91 aside.Hope this helps.

Fond memories messing around with the old eaglesoft business jets. Airliners are fun but being able to jump into a business jet start up quickly and still go fast once in the air is something else.That's what I've been saying. Back in the FSX days, I really wanted to fly bizjets but there were very few that were even decent, much less good. Now there are so many I don't think I even have them all.
