I'm looking for something like a Learjet, Citation X, etc, basically any small jet (No 747's, A380's, etc) that has very accurate systems modeling, with fully functional panels, etc. I am completely willing to pay for such a product, but my searching has thus far found very little. The few promising ones I have found seem to skimp on the details of just how accurate the systems are, and I don't want to pay $60 to get something subpar.

Any input?

Thanks!

Wilco ERJ-145 or 600 Legacy?

People I've talked to have seemed to like the ERJ, I'm not sure how accurate it is though.

If the BAe 146/Avro RJ isn't too big for you, there's the freeware Historic Jetliners Group version, hosted by SimV. This has Matthias Lieberecht's fantastic panel - pretty much every system is accurately modelled.

Eaglesoft's Citation X is one of my favorites, and it does have most of the systems on it.

That's what I am trying to build, but am having problems getting instruments to show up in the Virtual Cockpit.
Idea... Why don't you teach yourself the panel SDK and make your own.  Build it to the specs you like.  Or put the new panel in my aircraft.  The Jet I am designing is about as small as you could get (only the BD-5J is a smaller jet).
