Update Provided on Bombardier 6000 Project by dden

A jet anticipated by many in the community - the Bombardier Global 6000 - is currently in the process of being developed for X-Plane 11 by Denis (dden).

A video of the cabin in Virtual Reality is the latest glimpse of the aircraft, which was published nearly one year ago:

In today's news, however, Denis stated that the project is on hold, and began to question if the project would actually be viable in X-Plane:

"Regarding G6000 for X-Plane - the project is on hold currently, I had to get a full time job to boost my income," explained Denis. "And it will be on hold until I see what steps Laminar would take to compete with FS2020 (confidentially, I'm in alpha). Unfortunately,  if Laminar won't speed up development, finishing G6000 for X-Plane wouldn't make much sense financially."

His decision to put the project on hold appears to be based on his impressions of Microsoft Flight Simulator, implying that Laminar Research needs to put their foot down in advancing X-Plane 11.

The aircraft was announced about five years ago for X-Plane 10, but has yet to materialise into users' simulators.

Denis' most popular aircraft currently is that of the Challenger 300, another private jet by Bombardier.
