FSX Business Jets

Post by Carlos Cané »

Hi everyone! Today I decided to try something different... I'm used to flying 737, 747, 767, etc. and I have never really flown business jets on FSX. So my question is, is there any good payware business jet out there? Something as good, or close to PMDG (almost impossible hehe), Level D, etc.?

I've heard about the Eaglesoft Citation X v2 and the Citation Mustang from Carenado, do you have any comments on these?

Thanks!

I've the Citation X but I flew it only twice or so. Like you I'm never flying business jets either.

I bought it that time because I was a member of the virtual NATO and they flew jets like that for transport of staff :)

It was a nice aircraft to fly but not that good and hard as the aircraft we're used to fly.

Hi Carlos,

I read a good review on TBM850 Biz Prop produced by Carendo from Simmarket I think?. From reading the review it looks like they are very good aircraft designers and all there products seem to get praised.

Like you I've often thought about something like that.

Regards

Eaglesoft is pretty much the pmdg of biz jets. Its all they do and they do it well. I have a couple of thier models including the citation X. I've flown the model a fair amount tho nothing like what we have in the GC fleet. If I had to recommend a model for the purpose you describe it would probably be the Eaglesoft Citation X. The FMS can be a bugger to get the hang of though.

Let me append my post above: if you want something that can't go really high or really fast like the X can, my suggestion would be one of the other Citation models or the Beechjet by Eaglesoft. Get the latest version of a model if a newer version is available - hopefully they stopped selling the older versions but not sure if they did.
