VFR_Steve Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks buddy, ever since the Flight Unlimited 3 days and their wonderful Beechjet 400A I've always wanted a fast bizz jet for FSX and P3D, Carenado are having a good go at this neglected sector but up until now haven't really managed to capture the magic of the FU3 version - The Citation and particularly the new Hawker come very close. The Phenom was a disaster in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingnorris Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 You make the plane look really good! I may have to rethink my decision of not purchasing! Well done!

VFR_Steve Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks very much, the more I fly this Hawker the more I like it... the systems may not be 100% accurate but for me at least, it's about the whole immersion experience and I'm enjoying learning how to use the FMS and the Hawker's various systems. First and foremost though, it flies very nice, sounds great and looks fantastic. A nice addiction to the hanger, but not in the same league as the Turbine Duke for that feeling of an alive, breathing aircraft. Very tempted to use this for a world tour though, it's perfect for zipping around the sky in comfort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the camp of "if I can fly using autopilot and a flight plan, it's all good". Lol I'm curious though why you say they failed with the Phenom? Everything I've seen shows it's a decent aircraft.

VFR_Steve Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, more from the perspective of the flight model (awful, the Citation and Hawker are much improved) and mainly due to the horrendous frame rate many were getting, including me, seeing drops from 40 to 2 or 3 fps. Carenado were very good about it though and I received a full refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingnorris Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Oh ok. Makes sense. I see they've started on a Phenom 300 now. Let's see if they learned...Lol CLX - SET Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i9 10850K - 32GB DDR4 3000GHz Memory - GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - 960GB SSD + 4TB HDD - Windows 11 Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR_Steve Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes indeed another great addition... You've got to give them credit though for having a good go at the business jet market, it's been a huge area lacking in FS for some time! It's going to be a good year for flight simming :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexczarn Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I assume that's the Treez addon with the VFR Scenery? Perfect combination. Loving the plane too, didn't know Carenado started doing jets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR_Steve Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Cheers Alex, yes Carenado have so far released the Phenom, Citation and Hawker and currently working on a 300 version of the Phenom and goodness knows what else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
