Quick heads up, earlier today Jonathan Beckett completed a review on the Space Heater over on YT, giving it a thumbs up !
Nice alternative to the CJ4 and Longitude ..... release date Thursday the 8th pending any serious bugs.

This one is shorter - don't know the verdict yet, just started watching.


Edit: Just finished the video. There are some really cool features that are similar to the dev's Eviation Alice, like being able to set out food and a lav that flushes, but the plane itself is (apparently) very nicely modeled both visually and flight-wise. AvAngel's only real gripe was that the glass is nearly invisible. Her test video is in 2024, so it may be different in 2020. I've always wished that MS/Asobo would release the premium version's Citation as a stand-alone purchase, so now I finally get to scratch that itch. I'll definitely get this one - I've been wanting something that could handle a longer range than the Honda and Cirrus jets. With no cargo version, I guess I'll have to start up a small charter side hustle in my Walter Mitty style FS world.

It's out. Top post edited and thread pinned. It ain't the cheapest thing in the world, but it fills a major void - especially for those of use that kinda wish they'd opted for the Premium edition of the sim to get the stock CJ.
 
That doesn't get charged here in the Colonies. Some tax prep places here will ask if you have made any international purchases so that the IRS can charge you tax on them. I don't care if I bought a Ferrari from an Italian dealer and had it shipped here - I'm not telling the IRS about it!

Well, that doesn't help us (the rest and larger part of the world) one bit. If you want to mention prices in a fair way, check prices.
 
VAT? Isn't that the thing you mash grapes in? It help the Europeans make great wines, and great whiskies in the US. Neither, of course, aid in flying.
 
Well, I bought it last night and fired up the sim long enough to do some static testing. The lighting controls are wonky at best. There are no switches for the beacon, which apparently comes on automatically, or the nav lights, which don't. You basically have to use the L key to turn everything on, then reset the ones you don't want yet with the switches on the panel. Engine start was cumbersome too. They didn't want to start at first, then I played with some switches and managed to get them to start. I didn't see a manual, but I'll look again this weekend. I'm posting this from work.

None of the breakers are functional, and more than half of the switches in the cockpit are just there to look at. I wish the dev had put more time into getting the systems right than the cute easter eggs. I wonder if Disney will come after him for using audio from one of their properties...
