Hi there,

I'm wondering if there are any LearJet 45 or similar small business jets available with working FMC? I think it would be really great, I love this jet. Unfortunatelly the flight modell of the default one is not that awesome, not to mention the lack of functionality. I've seen a 3rd party LearJet 60 but it doesn't seem to be more serious than the default one...

BTW...does anyone know how to start and shutdown this bird? I mean cold and dark situation of the default one...

Greetings, neu

About the only way to find any aircraft with a good working FMC is to buy one there are several out there. Including one for the Lear I think. I own two different aircraft myself that have a working FMC.
I have to caution you it does take a while learning how to use these and the FMC can be different in each aircraft. The ones I have are different. There might be some freeware aircraft with a FMC that works but the payware aircraft use a data base that includes all navigation points.
As for shutting down the engines simply use CRTL + SHIFT + F1 this works for any aircraft Cool

I know there are PayWare aircrafts with FMC, I regularly fly my Level-D 767. But I'd like to see a small business jet with the same functionality. There is a FMC Pack from Friendly Panels, which is compatible with all "simple" or "default" aircrafts, but even though it's more than nothing, it's using only the flightplan, so there's no way to modify it in terms of adding points, changing approaches etc. This is more than nothing, but as it's using MSFS's navdata only, it means you can access that only if you want it to be somewhat flexible - but that's not an option, as I wouldn't consider that database as any usable...

Maybe it would be more usable if there would be an option to use the real AIRAC somehow...

Here is it anyway:
