Very nice, who is releasing it?
I am.
It is a fps friendly model that I have made to learn the process. I will upload to avsim and flightsim when ready.

This project started out as a "Home Cockpit" model for a friend. Just the FPS friendly model without a VC. But I got fascinated by the Falcon, and wanted to make a complete model to learn the process. Making a visual model is only a small part of a project. The difficult part is to make the rest of the airplane
Aerodynamics, textures, sounds, gauges, system logic etc. I have used real data for all dimensions and locations, down to the tiresize (So the tire rotates correctly).I have tried to do the aerodynamics to the best of my knowledge, which is limited. Airwrench is a good tool. I have not done the engine tables, because I don't know how yet. That will be another time. But it flies nice, in my opinon.
Mario Noriega (Piaggio 180, Mercure etc) has been so kind to let me scavenge and borrow some of his gauges for learning purposes. But I am only scratching the surface compared to his knowledge. There is lot that could be improved on this model, but it is scarse with Falcon 20 models out there. So I will release it as is when the final textures and tuning are done.

Very nice! Having been beaten up by Chobham's examples a few times I look forward to having a go myself!
Center console gauges
The Collins radios are by Pierre Fasseux, and are adapted slightly. The Cobham Audio Panel, is a my remake of his gauge. Permission to use as per "readme", with his original gauges.
The FMC is optional and by Garret Smith. I have not been able to reach him so it will need to be downloaded separatly, and added to the panel. The panel CFG line is only commented out.
It works fine with Prepar3D V4.
The Collins Autopilot is very basic, and just an adaption of the Lear 45 xml code. Alle gauges are 2D, because I don't know how to do 3D yet. Maybe the next project...
