Hi there! For my

1000th post

, I thought I'd do something to celebrate: three part series chronicling a trip in my brand new ESDG Citation X from Lindbergh Field to McCarran International. This is my first screenshot post in the payware forum.

Part 1- Sandiego INTL.
Opening the hangar, VIPs arrive in an hour.

All Aboard!

Up we go!

Clinbing out...

Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did flying them!

Part Three

I actually bought that aircraft yesterday, but I'm a little disappointed.
The Citation is not on the top 5 on my list, but I might post pics later on

Welcome to the payware forum as a poster, buddy, looking forward to see more cool shots

I guess I expected too much?
I'm an avionics nut and the Citation X offers very limited capabilites, compared to it's real life counterpart.
The CRT's are not that crisp (hard to read them) and the FMS is not up to par with the top of the league.

I'm not saying it's a bad product, but it cannot compete with PMDG and Flight 1's ATR in terms of complexity and realism, I mean the Citation X COULD be awesome if Eaglesoft really wanted it to be a ultra realistic product, but from my understanding they took away many features deliberatly

The aircraft looks great, but it's mostly all flash and no dash -which is something I do not like.
Though I knew this already, but I had no bizjet in my hangar, and this one is the best available

It gets 3.5/5 from me Cheesy

Well, yes it doesn't have as detailed avionics. I am really not to into that stuff, I just like to fly it and look at the visual model! For someone that is really interested in that, I guess it is not as high quality. Grin

1,000th post? Damn dude, I just had my 100th and you're COMPLETELY stealing my fire... Grin

The citation X is DEFINITELY on my christmas list, that's a must have for me. That VIP terminal... does it come with the software?

The VIP terminal is free at the Eaglesoft Website. You can go there and download the package. They're Great- they include the terminal, red carpet, hangar, fountains, and a limo. Starting points for FS are also included.
One catch: They are placed at only 5 airports: Centennial Airport in Colorado, Aspen airport in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, San Deigo International, St. Maarten in the Carribean, and somewhere in Prortland. I love them because I live in Colorado and about 10 minutes' drive from Centennial, so I fly there in FS a lot. But if you never fly in these places, it may not be so grand.
There is, however, another addon that places a different hangar- not the one in my shots- anywhere in the world you want. It's also free.

Great, thanks, I MUST have this plane. I've been in a Hawker before (like, in real life; it's a little cramped) but I hear a citation beats the hell out of it.

Bah, are you kidding me..the Raytheon-Hawker 800XP is one sweet bizjet. Granted not as luxurious as the 'X, but it has a very clean design, unlike the Citation X which has the shapes of an oversized whale Grin

O yea, it's a great little jet... flew on it from Philly to Chicago and back, plenty of time to spend with it. I'm not badtalking it, but, like you said, it can't compare to the X in terms of luxury. Not that the hawker isn't luxurious, it is. Or something. Other than that, great jet, ya.

And I see what you mean about the whale thing.... does this mean whales are areodynamic? Grin
