BillD22 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Here's 3 quick shots of the sun rising this morning over L.F. Wade International Airport (TKXF) on the island of Bermuda with FS2020 real world weather. In the shots we're in our Citation CJ4 awaiting takeoff clearance on Runway 30 , then leveling off after a maximum performance takeoff, and finally starting our climb up to our FL330 cruise altitude with a view of the islands famous "fishhook" shape in the distance.

engine70 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Great shots, Bill! How does the CJ4 fly? I've been wanting to fly the Longitude, but I heard it's a mess.

Rupert Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Great shots, Bill! How does the CJ4 fly? I've been wanting to fly the Longitude, but I heard it's a mess. Nice shots! And I agree with engine70, we always like to hear a report of how well a specific aircraft flies!;) Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

BillD22 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Great shots, Bill! How does the CJ4 fly? I've been wanting to fly the Longitude, but I heard it's a mess. Thanks for the good words guys. I haven't flown the Longitude - just the CJ4. From what you read on the forums it seems like all of the FS2020 aircraft have some "mess" type bugs and issues of one kind or another but so far the CJ4 basic handling characteristics seem pretty good to me. Although there are a bunch of "INOP" switches and functions the panel appears to be an exact duplicate of the real airplane and the AP and flight management system functions I've tried out have worked - which is not true for some of the other stock aircraft. Just for grins here's a picture of the real panel: The CJ4 does seem a little overpowered at times - the airplane frequently over speeds if you don't watch the power setting - so the thrust may need some tweaking and the fuel flow is way off so if you haven't already done it I'd suggest getting the community developed fuel flow fix here: https://flightsim.to/file/35/textron-citation-cj4-accurate-fuel-fix While you're at it I'd pick up the community fuel flow fixes for the B747-8i and A320neo + thrust fix for the 320 as well. But overall the more I fly the CJ4 the better I like it. Your mileage may vary. :D Edited October 6, 2020 by BillD22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engine70 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Thanks for the response, Bill! I was concerned about the fuel flow issues as well, but I wasn't aware there was a fix for that, so I'll have to give it a try.
