AG-51_Razor Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Every aircraft design is a compromise between capabilities and performance. What is it that you want to do with your private jet?? :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Won the lotto or something?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

cichlidfan Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Won the lotto or something?? In that event, it still depends on whether you are going to just ride in it, or pilot it. From either perspective, I have read that a G550 is quite nice!

MegOhm_SD Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) What an open ended question... Travel and sight see with your entourage. That's what they are for. Just for flying and personal satisfaction if your not taking a group, you could just get an Albatross. Best of both worlds. :pilotfly: Edited April 4, 2016 by MegOhm_SD Cooler Master HAF XB EVO , ASUS P8Z77-V, i7-3770K @ 4.6GHz, Noctua AC, 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro, EVGA 1080TI 11GB, 2 Samsung 840 Pro 540GB SSDs Raid 0, 1TB HDD, EVGA SuperNOVA 1300W PS, G930 Wireless SS Headset, TrackIR5/Wireless Proclip, TM Warthog, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, 75" Samsung 4K QLED, HP Reverb G2, Win 10
schroedi Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) The "very light jet" (jets with a maximum take off weight of 10000lbs) class is best for personal use because you can fly it alone. All bigger private jets need a co pilot. Edited April 4, 2016 by schroedi
Kayos Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I've been on a Global Express before. Pretty impressive airplane. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
MegOhm_SD Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Sat in the cockpit of a Cessna Citation for most of a trip from NC to Chicago. I recall it had bout 12 seats. Nice little Jet. Maybe a CJ3.

NeilWillis Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I'm going to assume he means which 3rd party developer jet is the best one to buy and why? The question needs to be addressed in a couple of ways. First, the most complex, and accurate module, is in my opinion the MiG-21 Bis from Leatherneck. The artwork inside the cockpit was painted by Rembrandt, and the systems modelling is as good as it gets in any sim available. The F-86F Sabre or Mig-15 Bis are also excellent modules, and the choice of which to buy is really down to personal preference. The other modules currently available from 3rd parties, such as the M2000C, Hawk and C101 are all work in progress, and need more time to reach the same level of completion as the Migs and Sabre. I'm sure if he'd wanted to buy a private jet, he'd have asked someone more knowledgeable than us bunch of amateurs!
USSInchon Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Pilatus PC-12. It has the range, speed, and capacity very close to a King Air, is single pilot IFR rated, and can go as slow as a Cessna on final. Plus it can land on almost any surface. Some pilots I know that fly it call it The Fisher Price My First Turboprop because it is so simple to operate.
smnwrx Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Never seen one in person, let alone flew in one but that cirrus jet is looking nice.
USSInchon Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Also if you got around $60 million burning a hole in your pocket...try the G650. It's a dream to fly up front, and I am sure not too shabby in the back either. 17 hours you can be anywhere in the world.

HoracioWarren Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks to all member to tell me about this.
BitMaster Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I once flew across the Bermuda Triangle as private transit from Eleuthera/Bahamas to Miami, with my wife for honeymoon in a 2-prop Piper Cherokee ( think it was ). I flew a lot in my life, but that was the nicest trip I ever made. Having a snack, chat with your wife on honeymoon and listen to the Pilot saying " Look down this is the Island Hemingway used to fish and spend time.." sort of thing. One of the few nice things money can pay for, the rest is priceless, wife and family 1st ;) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus XG27ACG QHD 180Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X
Bucic Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I say buy propeller Piper Mirage and spend the surplus money on flight hours. Works for me. F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Citation or Avanti. No way around it. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

The PC-12 is just perfect for hauling the family or a bunch of friends around plus it will take a hell of a lot of cargo if you're into carrying your toys around with you. It's fast and looks like it would be a hoot to fly! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
