Hello everyone! I hope to be not the only who need a well made long-range Business jet like the Bombardier Global Express, Global 7000, Falcon 8/7X. Is there somebody thinking/deciding/working in that category in the future? Not necessarily P3dv4/5 only...I'm talking about any sim platform including future ones like MSFS2020. Personally, I'm totally in love with the Bombardier series, but I wish I don't have to wait to get rich and buy a real one 😂 Regards from Italy, Alex

Folks,Paul Allen of Stratolaunch (and Microsoft co-founder) teams with Bert Rutan's Scaled Composites to build a carrier vehicle with a 384 ft wingspan and 6 B-747 engines to take Elon Musk's (of PayPal and Tesla Motors) SpaceX multi-stage Falcon 9 booster and Dragon 7-person manned capsule to 50,000 ft for airborne launch!See .For comparison, the Hughes H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose" has "only" 319 ft wingspan, the B-744 only 211 ft, while Scaled Composite's space lifter White Knight looks downright puny at 82 ft. Ditto for White Knight 2 at 141 ft.BTW, Microsoft will be releasing a special version of Flight to accommodate Stratolaunch's wingspan.Cheers,- jahman.PS: Why do these guys seem to be having all the fun? I mean way back they were starry-eyed space fan kids and next thing they know they wake up in the morning and get to play "NASA" all day long, and for real! How much better can it get?

A test flight from Flying Cloud KFCM to Duluth, MN KDLH. Again sorry for the jpeg compression. These shots are all tack sharp before I uploaded them. Anyway the bird hand flies beautifully... I flew with the needles for now... maybe an avionics "upgrade" later....
