FlightFX has finally set a release date for their upcoming C750 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. It will be available in people’s virtual hangars on July 10 as an MSFS Marketplace exclusive.

“After countless late nights, endless reworks, a few are we there yet moments, and more caffeine than any doctor would recommend - the C750 is ready for takeoff on July 10”, they said at the start of their announcement post on Discord. “We know it has been a long road, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and support from this community. We’re excited to finally get it into your hands”.

The Cessna 750 Citation X is a mid-size business jet produced by Cessna, announced in October 1990 and first flown in 1993, with its certification following 3 years later. It used an entirely new design compared to the previous Citations, with commonality only being maintained around some cockpit controls, the windshield, and the tail light bulb. It incorporated many innovative design features for the time, such as the large diameter of the engine intakes, reducing the noise, and improving fuel efficiency. The highly swept wing with a supercritical airfoil increased its top speed, making it faster than all the previous generations.

The design process also involved making it as aerodynamically efficient as possible, trying to minimize drag and, thus, improve its overall efficiency. The innovative wing design was part of that thought process during the development.

‍

It’s powered by two Rolls-Royce AE 3007Cs with either 6442 or 6764 lbs of thrust, allowing it to cruise at 972 km/h, covering up to 3,460 nautical miles of range, at up to 51,000ft.

FlightFX’s rendition features an accurate simulation of the Primus 2000 flight suite, full VNAV, a custom FADEC with an optional VNAV-coupled auto-throttle, two variants: winglet or no-winglet with their respective performance impact, a real-time EPB system for dynamic engine performance modeling, a deeply modeled pressurization, environmental, hydraulic, electrical, fuel, and ICE systems, full RTU and autopilot capability, realistic IRS, CAS, engine sync, and more.

Their custom Electronic Flight Bag features Navigraph and OpenStreetMap integration, a SimBrief-linked load manager, active noise reduction, a ground services manager, and an options customizer (auto-throttle, LCD/CRT toggle, etc.).

‍

The airplane also features wing flex, enhanced lighting inside and out, realistic clutter and cabin details, and dynamic registration on the placard and covers.

‍

The audio was recorded on-site in California, with real APU, engine, mechanical, chime, and cabin interaction sounds.

‍

The add-on is releasing on July 10, exclusively at the Marketplace for $29.99.
