    Does anyone have the Eaglesoft Citation X V2.0?

    http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/Layouts/cx20.htm


    I am wondering if anyone can give me their thoughts or opinions on this product - The Eaglesoft Development Group's Cessna CitationX V2.0.

    I have read mixed reviews, with some saying it is too old and not too pretty by today's standards (modelling, texturing wise), but others have said it is the best simulation of this aircraft. I am looking for a serious business jet, with all or most functions modelled.

    They have a 25% off coupon on the site at the moment until June 30, 2017, so that is making it more tempting. I have been looking at this jet for a month or more, but haven't done anything about it yet.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    I have used this aircraft in FS9, FSX and PD3V3.4. It is a great aircraft but it is showing its age now. it will not work in PD3V4 and Eaglesoft is not going to update it to work. Eaglesoft is working on a Version 3 of the Citation X, which should be PD3V4 compatable. There is a learning curve with the aircraft but it is worth the time invested.

    Thanks Greg. I am actually looking for something with a learning curve, so that sounds good. I also heard about the new version in the future, although I haven't heard anything for a while. That's another reason I haven't pulled the trigger on this one, if they are going to release a new version in the near future. I do have plenty of aircraft already, so that's another reason, but I am a fan of all the Citations. It's a hard decision

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Have you looked into the FlySimware Lear 35a? It is IMO an excellent model and, it DOES have a learning curve.

    IMHO one of the "must have"bizjet! Of course graphics are a bit dated but the nav and the autopilot is second to none in this category of planes. The Flysimware Learjet35A is also a must have, particularly if you integrate the GTN 750 and the Milviz radar. Another one bizjet, very underrated, the Xtreme Prototypes Learjet 25D SE V2, version 2.1 is coming with lots of updates. This plane is a real "Hotrod", 70' style of bizjet with excellent FDE validated by a RW Lear 25D owner.

    Thanks for the input John and Pat.

    I have also heard good things about the Flysimware Learjet, but at the moment I am more interested in Citation models. Probably because I read an interesting article not long ago about the history and evolution of the Citation series. I also have another Learjet (Lionheart Creations) so I feel like I don't need another one, but in saying that, I never say never. It can be interesting to have different models of an aircraft. That is kind of why I was looking at the Eaglesoft Citation X in the first place, as I was searching for different Cessna Citation models available for P3D. I have had the F1 Citation Mustang for a few years in FSX.

    I probably will go ahead and get the Eaglesoft Citation X, as the systems are really more important to me than the graphics, and the dated graphics seem to be the only complaint I have heard, apart from being too complicated. In this case I am looking for complicated.

    Cheers,

    Scott

    Graphics are not a problem for me as I enjoy a lot the CitationX. The Xtreme LJ25D is far much better than the Lionheart(I have it too)and is a faithful rendition of this bird. It deserves the attention of people looking for a very good bizjet. If you take the Eaglesoft CitationX, I suggest you to login at Eaglesoft too. I forget to mention that Bjoern made excellent mods for the Flysimware LJ35A.
    Are ready to cruise at M0.92?

    After saying you have enough Learjets I will mention that - was it a week or so ago on AirdailyX (I think) some screenshots of a Milviz Learjet. Could be waiting a looong time though.

    That is the Lear 60 XR. You are right. It will be a while before it passes FAA certification.

    Definitely more food for thought. Now I am tempted to get some more Learjets .

    Yes. Yes I am

    I also picked up the new Glowingheat A-12 today, so I will also be cruising much faster.
