=== '''''The Good old Cessna Citation X''''' === | |||
[[Image:Cessna Citation X - Screenshot 1.png]] | |||
This is by far one of my favourite little planes! Its reaction time is quite quick. The rudder control is very responsive, even the slightest move of your rudder pedals or the mouse and the rudder on the plane moves. | |||
The acceleration and the animations for the Cessna Citation X is very good. It accelerates quite fast down the runway, building up momentum and then, you lift your joystick up slightly and the nose lifts up just like you want it to. | |||
Regarding the animations, they are extraordinary, they function quite well like for example the flaps or the Wind Brakes or the Landing Gears. The Cockpit is quite well designed and has a lot of instruments just like a real Citation should. This was the first jet plane that I could actually land properly in. | |||

It has a tutorial system built in for people wanting to fly one. It also has several good built-in camera views including views from the passenger seats. | |||
The Citation X included in the latest FlightGear 2.2 Devlopement Snapshot release is probably the best. | |||
As always, there is always some that goes wrong or fails, for me, that was this; | |||

On the top of this page, you will see some tabs named " page ", " discussion " and so on, click on the plus icon to start a new section and send me a message. | |||
Nevertheless, with all the errors aside, this has to be one of the best planes that I have ever used in FlightGear! | |||
