New Learjet 23 add-on
- Thread starter Ark
- Start date
Yeah, I just saw that.
The cockpit window shape is also a little funky.
I wish we had more corporate jet add-ons in FSX. You'd think there would be more learjets created by add-on developers. I am about all airbus'd and boeing'd out.
Yeah, talk about an untapped market. I am no FS Market specialist, but I think a good older model Learjet would make a killing. I personally would LOVE a TBM 700 (yeah, not a learjet, but a corporate type of aircraft no less!).

Yeah like a native King Air 200 or Super 350!! A TBM would be nice as well, I'll take an 850 though haha
Flight1 was supposed to be working on a King Air 200 but it might have got canned... not sure
The only business-like turboprop up and coming I know of is RealAir's Royal Turbine Mod for their wonderful Duke:

Also there is a learjet 23 I think with a VC, located here:

To be honest, the model looks a little dated (as in fs98 style) but I've heard good things about it

A while back, I thought I read somewhere that Flight1 was working on a TBM 700 as well as an older model Lear. With the popularity of the Meridia they created some time ago, I bet a TBM 700 or a 850 would do really well.
That Xtreme Prototypes Lear I have heard mixed thigs about. The visual model is supposed to be really good but the FDE is supposed to be a little wacky. I thik it comes with a few differet models of the Lear though. The VC, from what I've read, seems to have a really like or really dislike sort of following. From the pics, it would seem the devs took a straight forward and rather flat approach to the VC textures which some seem to be really put off by while others seem to like them quite a bit. I guess it is a toss up on that one. At a price of close to $40, I would like to see some pretty defiitive "positives" to the add-on.
A 850 would be REALLY nice.

Last I heard MAAM Sim was supposed to be doing their TBM for FSX too. But that was last year, and I've heard nothing on it since then. I will find out tho at the WWII Weekend this June 4th, 5th, and 6th if it's being worked on.

ahaha I think you're talking about a TBM avenger while we're talking about a TBM Socata:

There are flaws - make your own comparisons:

Yes, the cockpit window lines are incorrect... I dunno.. it might have the correct number of rivets on the wing panels which would certainly redeem it somewhat...
Of course, as a pilot I rarely get to admire/nitpick the exterior details at FL350 or 140kts on short final. Now if it never flies and resides in a museum that charges 16 Euro for admission I'd expect perfection...
