Very tempting but the price is a little too steep for me. :( What do you think about the models accuracy? Just curious what the experts think. :)

Looks very tempting, Brian. Yet another reason why I need to get an FSX-capable machine. **paging Santa Claus**

I'm definitely NOT an expert on the type, but I used to work for NetJets, and was fortunate enough to hop a ride aboard one of their many 800XPs. I've had a soft spot for them ever since. The JF model looks to have the right "feel" from the screenshots. Same goes for the VC. I'm sure purists will find plenty of points wrong, but it's nice to have another FS model in the under-represented business jet niche - particularly one that's never been done before.

Thanks very much for the replies Mark and Dave. :) Seeing Peter's post pushed me over the edge to purchase the 800XP. :doh: :lol: She's now my default biz jet. :thumbsup:

Any more comments on this? I am busting to get it but have heard mixed reports of poor VC textures, light systems features etc. I'm not too bothered that its a light system but does it feel 'convincing' to fly and is it modelled accurately externally?

Cheers
Erich

I've just splashed out and I'm loving it already. The textures and lighting is a good as most payware and better than some. The handling is perfect even on my machine. As for is it authentic in the VC - well I've not been in one but as someone familar with the Dominie you can definately see the heritage!

Just flown it down to TFS and it was a great flight.

Now you tell us! :lol: After a certain Viscount was released (the VW van still looks nice by the way :lol: ) I was a little uncertain about the models accuracy. I'm still happy with my purchase though. They say that ignorance is bliss, right? ;) :lol:
