Small jets (Read 707 times)

OK

i am looking into buying a payware for my sim, but i am not sure quite what to get.

what i would really like is a high quality, and realatively cheap, about £30 or there abouts, less would be great.
And i would like some kind of small business or a small commercial, for example the citation (newer models) or an ERJ of some sort.

if you could give me ideas of aircraft, who they are made by and if possible the costs, but i can always look for those, that would be great

thanks for any help.

Carenado is pretty good for GA. I have all of their planes and fly them regularly.

www.carenado.com

Also Flight1 is renowned for its selection.

Commuter Express 2 or Commuter Airliners Eurowings are both reasonably priced at £24.99 (-10% at shows). Airbus Holiday Destinations if you want to go a little larger and a bit more expensive at £29.99 (-10% at shows). Cheesy

Lilley,

I love flying the small biz jets.
I have searched all payware companies and I will also say,

Eaglesoft has the best choices for what you are looking for.
http://www.eaglesoftdg1.com/Corporate_Aviation.htm

I have all of their biz jets.
I would suggest the CJ1 or CitationII! Great VC's and fun to fly!
Actually, I was just flying the CJ the other night!
http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=paywareshots;action=displa...
Do not go straight out and get the Cessna CitationX!
Ease into it with the CitationII or the CJ1!

Believe me, you will not be disappointed and believe me when I say, I have bought all of them and trust me on this!


This little gem is a nice one also! Very easy to fly and comes with a bunch of things!
http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=1779

But I would get the Easglesoft first!

given that the citation II is £11 ish
and the citation CJ1 is £13 ish

i could either...
#1 i could get one of those and one other, maybe the PMDG B1900 (btw which do you think would be better, the C or D)
#2 i could get both
#3 i could get one and then wait until fairford and have a look at the skysim stuff (Town  Wink)

any other suggestions?

cheers

The Feelthere 145 is great. I would not reccomend the C208 though.

I didn't think you wanted turboprops - the Beechcraft B1900C and B1900D by PMDG are VERY good. There is also the Xtreme Kingair which has a bit further down the list in this forum. Also you might consider the ATR 72-500 and the Wilco CRJ as well as the new one by Abacus, Corporate Pilot - which has several different aircraft on it (I haven't tried that yet so cannot give any comments good or bad) Grin

Hope this gives you enough to think on for now

well it's that kind of private/commuter aircraft, mainly because i prefer to do small flights around europe, and i quite like the different feel than something like an A320 or a 737 type aircraft.

hey Town

what kind of aircraft do sky-sim do, because at fairford i can have a look and maybe get something from there if it is the kind of thing that im interested in.

cheers

PMDG Beech 1900... C has more variants ( Freighter, Cargo and Passenger) but the D version has loads more liveries to download. Flight1 ATR is brilliant but a very long learning curve as it is very realistic.
Ps, the Just Flight Caravan is the Feelthere Caravan Wink
