NEWS! - Aircraft Release : Citation C-560XL by AirSim3D for X-Plane 12

 

 

In November last year 2022, AirSim 3D released their excellent Citation 560XL in X-Plane, but only in X-Plane 11... also the twilight zone in X-Plane 12 Beta. The aircraft was fantastic, but like me I had already moved on to the bright and shiny X-Plane 12, Beta and all.

 

So in a way the release timing was not fair to the aircraft. Here it is now released in it's proper X-Plane guise, and if any aircraft was created for X-Plane 12, it was this Citation C-560XL. The X-Plane 11 release review is here; Aircraft Review : Cessna Citation 560XL by AirSim3d

 

There are now three 560XL aircraft packages

 

• X-Plane 12
• X-Plane 11
• X-Plane 12 + X-Plane 11

 

If you have already purchased the AirSim 3D 560XL before March 15th 2023, your purchase already includes both XP11 and XP12 versions, notably there will be no upgrade between the packages so please make sure you select the right one.

 

AirSim3D C-560 XL: Real-Jet authenticity

• Real jet visits at Boeing airfield were extensively used to inform build and design decisions
• 100’s of pages of real POH manuals, specs, drawings, pics used
• Real pilot tested and extensively beta tested
• Result: real-world systems, lighting, functions, modeling and procedures authenticity

 Rich FMOD sounds

• Sample recordings from the real jet at Boeing Field
• Result: Custom Engine, APU, GPU, Warnings, Call outs, Clicks, Beeps, airflow, in/out, sound modulation...all included
• Example: AP disconnect – that's the actual sound real pilots hear!
• But not overdone: The real jet is quiet at cruise;  AirSim3D’s C-560XL follows that model

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• “My main interest is flying bizjets, and this one is an excellent addition to my ''hanger".... Also, Support responds very quickly on this forum too. Thanks for that."
• “Just doing a night flight, the night lighting is excellent. I do like this airplane a lot”
• “Engine sounds are really good inside and out. I live near an airport, and it sounds like the real Citations as they take off”
• “The best aircraft of my hangar .. and I have all the other more popular biz jets and Airliners!!
• From the XPlaneReview: “Having flown the XL a lot over the past month, I now really love it, even miss it a lot when flying other aircraft. Recommended.”
• “Are ya'll thinking about making other AWESOME models like this one? 5 Star (support) service!”
