Not sure if it's the same one, but I had a BETA 550 back in FSX. The dev had it along well; if I remember right, it flew fairly well. He was working on the VC and suddenly just sent a message saying he wouldn't continue. Even though he didn't mention the name "Gulfstream", they may have sent him a "cease and desist" .
I don't have FSX now, but here are a couple of .jpg. I wouldn't mind having a 550 for MSFS in the colors of the USCG commandant's ride.
(I just noticed, the reg number is one letter different in alphanumeric order. Same dev?)

You are correct in that its the same developer but the one in MSFS shows further development including the cabin.
I had the 450 which did not have the cabin but strange enough had the 550 livery files, like your pictures, appearing to show two different aircraft being developed at the same time.

Do you remember your model having the cabin..?

Nope. The one I had was just the cockpit area.

Ahh, that's sad to hear.
I would have liked to see the more complete model as I am a big fan of the aircraft and still have FSX so I can fly it occasionally.
