→The Good old Cessna Citation X

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. | The acceleration and the animations for the Cessna Citation X is very good.

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. | Regarding the animations, they are extraordinary, they function quite well like for example the flaps or the Wind Brakes or the Landing Gears.

It has a tutorial system built in for people wanting to fly one.

'''Recommendation:''' | |||
I would recommend this plane to people who have already flown planes like the [[Cessna C172P]] or the [[Piper J3 Cub]] and want to progress into Jet aviation. This is a GREAT little starter plane to get you going. | |||
Nevertheless, with all the errors aside, this has to be one of the best planes that I have ever used in FlightGear! | Nevertheless, with all the errors aside, this has to be one of the best planes that I have ever used in FlightGear! | ||
