I'm thinking about getting this for add-on but before that, I would like to ask for anybody that have purchased this add-on. Any comment ? Is it worth buy?

I do not have that one Dianna. I saw it and it looked a bit too shiny, so that turned me off from a purchase, but I see below your name that you are a Learjet fan, so by all means definitely consider it.

Hi Dianna78sg, Ironically I just purchased this last night and flew it for over an hour. My advice is not to get it. It is nice if you like lear jets but to be honest, the default Bombardier Learjet that comes with FS9 is basically the same, if not a bit easier to fly. What you seam to get with the Perfect Flight Lear is a ton of repaints that, like Savas said, are a bit too shiny. The VC is OK and the flight dynamics are good but I will say it again, the default Lear is the same if not better.

My suggestion to you if you like smaller business jets would be to purchase the Cessna Citation X by Eaglesoft. It is the best small jet out there if you ask me,.... and I have flown almost all of them. The flight dynamics are true, there are a ton of "freeware" repaints available, the Virtual Cockpit is awesome, the support you get from the development team is almost immediate and the overall money you spend on it is worth every penny!

Hope this helps out and if you need any more info on the Learjet from Perfect flight, let me know.

Now what are you waiting for,............
GO GET THE X!!!!!

I agree Stephen, I will take an oil splattered, grimy, weathered aircraft any day over a brand new spanking paint job. Unless I am taking it to an air show!  Grin

Thanks for the info n comment all  Smiley

So the flaw thing is, it too shiny, is it? How about the aviation n flight dynamic? Could you please explain more (is it accurate) ?

Anyway I'm gonna hold for a while from purchasing it.Though I'm Learjet fan, I agreed Citation X graphic by Eaglesoft really blow and it's much cheaper (well not so much)..and actually purchased it already  Grin...

Here are a few screenies of The Lear 60 in the FAA repaint over Manhattan. I then proceeded to annoy the ATC at LaGuardia and disrupt everybody in the traffic pattern!  Grin

As for flying the aircraft, it is a real nice plane to control. I also flew her over some nice scenic areas in British Columbia and enjoyed it very much. Still, it is touch and go on purchasing it since the default is quite similar.  Roll Eyes
Hey, I guess if you are a Lear Jet Fanatic, why not take the plunge!!  Grin
I just can't get enough of the huge horsepower produced by the Citation X. If I am flying small jets, I want the power to climb out of a tiny airstrip in Alaska or make a grand entrance into an airport with all eyes focused on me!  Grin

OK Diana. I flew this thing last night for over an hour and I will say that if you like lear Jets, it is a must have. The repaints are not bad at all. A bit shiny but hey, what the heck. Sorry so negative the first time, I just really like the CitationX.  Wink
