Prepping the new Citation II by Eaglesoft in Fritz's hangar making sure everything is ready for carefree flying

She has been pulled from the hangar and ready for her passengers to board

Flying over Emma Field (slight haze in the air, but otherwise a nice day for flying)

Banking over Oklahoma

Coming in for a landing

Touchdown

Parked and engine covers attached

Overall this plane is a dream to fly. Easy take offs and landings, cruises at a decent clip. Not too fast and not too slow.

Eaglesoft has another winner. nice thing about this Bizjet, is its not as taxing on the computer as the Citation X delux, but then again there is no animated passenger, only an animated pilot and no copilot, the detail of the interior is ver good, but not quite as detailed as the X, and there is not as much eye candy as the flagship from Eaglesoft, yet the Citation II is on par with the Beechjet and the Premier.

If you like bizjets, this one is a definite must-have.

There are 3 liveries. A corporate delux with a great VC, a basic corporate with no VC, and an Air ambulance (the latter I have not flown yet but I think it comes with a VC)

There is a freeware Citation II which is quite good, but there is just something about the precision and care that goes into a payware aircraft, that has always put a smile on my face and a small dent in my wallet, and yet, I do not mind at all, as the men and women that bring us payware, bring some delicious gems for what I consider very little money for a fantastic hobby.

Happy flying!

Holy crap, they already released this? I haven't checked their site for a week, and presto. Oh well, nice shots. In the third one, it's hard to tell the difference between the shading and the paint ribbon. ???

That's wierd... I went to their site, and it's down. And can appearently you can still go to their old site, but they don't have the Citation II up for grabs... Is that their real plane... Lips Sealed

Or am I losing it?

Yep. Its the real ES Citation II. I was able to purchase it on Saturday. I checked their site yesterday and it did appear to be down.

Thanks Ozzy. its a great plane to fly. I will take some captures of the VC, interior, and 2D panel within the next day or so
