20 Series Lear jets released

I've always liked the original Baby Lears. Wish there was a freighter model. Cockpit looks a little cartoonish, but OK. All the other screens look very solid. Can't justify the $40 pricetag, though...and it's the same price for the download or the CD???

Major points deduction also for not including the original Learjet 23.

That is what I noticed as well.... exterior looks well done, but the VC looks like FS98 imho

Hopefully F1 will come through with their Lear

Um...did interiors exist in FS98? I honestly can't remember.
 
Can anyone even get the screen shots to even load? I cant.

But I can assure you the cockpit is quality. Same guy who did the fantastic P-38 cockpit did the Lear. Also the external. I wonder who that was..... :kilroy:

If that is the case, I probably will be buying it. I like that guy's work. I'm glad he posted. :ernae:

cheers,

Outstanding video! I like the music in it. I looked up the band and im playing it now. I wish I could make a video that good for the P-38. Makes my attempt look poor.

Im just happy to see the Lear in the skies. :applause:
 
Dang, that is one hot video!

Dang...

Nice looking birds! I have wanted a 3 window Lear for ages. Glad someone finally made one.

EDIT: I wish they had a FS9 version... arrgh...

Congratulations on the release Miguel , Karim , always good to see fellow Montreallers getting their birds in the air , hope to see you boys again soon .
 
I like it!

It's pretty nice. I'm having AA issues with my vid card, so I'll not post any screenshots, but I like the panel pretty well and the exterior model is just beautiful.

Lots of functional switches on the panel, nice old radios including an H-14 autopilot that I hated so much in RL. I've not flown a real one, but the flight model seems very good and it was cruising at FL410 at mach .83 with the power levers back just a touch. 5000 fpm rate of climb down low. :applause:

Couple of little glitches: click on the left yoke to hide and the right one goes away (and right hides the left), cabin pressure doesn't seem to show cabin differential, and it's quite hard to read the annunciator panel indications when lit up. Nothing major, though, that I saw.

One of my King Air jobs shared a hangar with a company that had a Lear 25. I sat in it once and I had to hold my head at an angle to keep from hitting the side window. I liked my King Air better. :icon_lol: Those guys said it was a time machine, since you got in it and closed the door and in an hour or two you were a long way away. It was a fuel critical plane too as they had to be pretty sure they were going to get into their destination ok since once they left FL410 and started down, they were never going to have enough fuel to get back up there. And it really sucked the fuel down low. :isadizzy:

cheers,

Ive heard stories like that from a Lear driver. I think theirs was a 28. They could do performance climbouts, (if granted by ATC), straight to FL400 and go from Wisconsin to Miami in no time flat.

Must be nice....

We did that trip a little lower (FL330 in a C-441) and it took us a little longer. Biggest problem on that run in the winter time is that you leave all bundled up from getting the airplane ready in the cold and then shed clothes all the way to Florida or you about pass out when you open the door in the heat. We had more room in our cockpit for getting out of extra clothes than the Lear guys did too. :d

cheers,

Are they not allowed to just call it Lear instead of

"The Xtreme Prototypes 20 Series for Flight Simulator X is inspired from a series of aircraft known in the 1970's as the Gates Learjet 24, 25 and 28"
 
(although being from Belgium), I have an great interest in the swiss airforce and its military fleet. I know the Swiss uses type 35 Lears, but if someone overhere could paint one of the extreme Lears into an Swiss air force example....you will gain a god-status :icon_lol:
