CIRRUS VISION SF 50 from Kazunori Ito
- Thread starter franzi
- Start date
Yep, I knew it looked familiar. I've tried moving it into FSX with the usual problems (none of the gauges are usable). Trying to find gauges that will swap is proving difficult. Even the PFD's and MFD's that I have are not really compatible because the text is affected by the panel size (I assume). He does everything in low-res so that his models can be used by everyone so trying to move them to hi-res for FSX users is not always possible. Since this airplane really requires glass rather than analog, the on-screen readouts are funky looking due to oversized text that will not conform to higher resolution. . . .something that's hardcoded in the model possibly.Nice looking model!
Man, that guy can really whip out the planes! Nice...!
This plane was already modeled in payware by a popular team. That did an excellent job.

Timely too.. this came out Thursday:
Report: Cirrus Ready To Move Ahead With Jet
Cirrus Aircraft has secured most of the financing it needs to move forward with development of its single-engine personal jet, with production expected to start in Duluth, Minn., in 2015, the Minnesota Star-Tribune reported on Tuesday. Cirrus CEO Dale Klapmeier declined to tell the Star-Tribune just how much cash had been secured from new owners CAIGA (China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co.), but said it will cover most of the projected development cost, which has previously been estimated at $150 million. "It has been a struggle to keep this program moving forward," Klapmeier told the Star-Tribune. "It has been a struggle just to survive." Cirrus had said last week that it would reveal a major announcement at the Aero Friedrichshafen show in Germany on Wednesday.

In its teaser announcement last week, Cirrus said it would reveal an "historic next step in personal aviation." Klapmeier said at AOPA Summit last September that the Chinese owners of CAIGA were reviewing the jet project, and meanwhile the company was moving forward with design work. The jet is expected to sell for about $2 million.

Hello-
Any suggestions regarding a proper soundset for this? I have the Iris BD-5J, so I tried that... but the startup sound for that reminds me of turning on the burners of my gas range... click click click...
I have her flying decently with tweaked geometry, contact points, and engine specs... It doesn't try to approach the mach now...

The FJ33 has been selected to power a number of different aircraft:
Not sure which one of these have been modeled, I think the A700 might be the only one so far.
If none of those work the FJ44 is the bigger brother from which the 33 was developed.
That one was used in Citations, Hawker 200 and Beech Premiers.
Cheers
