Thanks for the heads up! I was able to pick it up this morning. What a beast of an aircraft. I've read over the manual, tried to fire it up and failed on the first attempt. I think it had something to do with the Condition Levers being set up to my nearly dead Saitek Throttles. Can't wait to give it another go tomorrow.

I was looking at this plane as well. Seems very detailed.
Does it have GPS?
Does it have a FMC (even a simple one?).
Looking forward to reading how it flys.

Been waiting for this to go on sale. Picked it up and did a quick learning flight with it yesterday. Handles real well, definitely feels quite a bit different from other aircraft.
Isn't she a beauty?

It flies beautifully, graphics are great, uses a ton of RAM for what it's worth. I have 8GB total system RAM - I had a few other windows up and Windows said 7/8 used lol. I think there's still some sort of memory leak because I subsequent flights XP and Win + applications only used about 5.5GB.
But no, no GPS, no FMS. They apparently are working on a "B" version that would have some sort of RNAV (GPS)/(FMS) system. However it does have a simple popup point to point GPS.
But what I'm really waiting for is their Citation!
