Inset mini-map on the PFD
New! WAAS instrument approaches - allowing ILS-like approach accuracy for non-ILS-equipped airports within the U.S.
Advanced FADEC engine power management system with virtual Takeoff, Climb, and Cruise detents
Autopilot supports ROL, HDG, VOR, LOC, and GPS lateral modes

Autopilot supports ALT HOLD, ALTS, PIT, VS, and FLC vertical modes
Flight planner can be operated independently from the FSX planner - you can add and delete waypoints, etc. on the fly
Flight planner automatically imports FSX flight plan if one is loaded
CAS (Crew Alert System) indicators
Audio panel music player (supports ".wav" file format)

Includes original song, “Here and Now”, written and performed by Dave Blevins

Avionics and Systems

All gauges and switches fully functional (within the limitations of FSX) and clickable

Independent reading and cabin lights
Working Cabin pressurization system
Dim-able panel/panel lighting

 

The Flight1 Citation Mustang comes complete with a highly detailed User Manual and a Quick Reference Guide.

Now includes:

Added key event mapping support for custom hardware users. The G1000’s now use the default FSX G1000 events for most knobs and soft keys. Other custom events are user defined.

The Mustang now uses and includes Navigraph AIRAC world wide navigation database with SIDS and STARS. Includes cycle: 0903
this allows the Mustangs database to be updatable if the user chooses.
Updates subscriptions are available from: www.navigraph.com

 

 

 

I hope that means good.

Yes Jim, "sick" means good nowadays.

When you go public, you may consider highlighting two features specifically: "Visible icing" and "flight planner independent from FSX planner".

Now move  that thing out of the hangar so I can spoil it with the brush 

Serious sounds great

Holy Smokes! That's INSANE! Truly adding a new level to our FS experience!

Unaswered question in another thread: will this affect performance?

(NOTAM to Self: Regardless of it affecting performance or not, I will be using it quiet often!)

Thanks for the answer Yoda!

I wasn't planning to spend any money on any aircraft for a while because my pocket is fairly empty, of course that was till I saw the Mustang...

The rest is history!

-----EDIT-----

Since the talk of performance came up, Yoda, How would you compare the Mustang to LDS 767 as far as performance and the FPS hit is concerned? Is it about the same as the LDS 767?

Thanks John! That is great to know!

I remembered something I've been meaning to ask!

Will the taxi lights and landing lights be independent from one another and working? I notice on stock FSX aircraft (or maybe it's just my PC - my monitor is atrocious at displaying black) the taxi lights don't seem to do anything, and the landing lights just kind of make the runway turn a lighter shade of dark. I can't see any light sources show up on the outside of the aircraft when I turn them on either.

I can't see any light sources show up on the outside of the aircraft when I turn them on either.

The short answer is that it's modeled as it works on the real aircraft, which is a little different than what you (or at least, I) am used to. From the manual:

"The landing light switch is a 3 positiion switch that controls both the rocognition/taxi lights and the landing lights. Both the recognition/taxi and landing lights are illuminated from the same two positions on the bottom of the fuselage. When LANDING is selected, both landing lights illuminate at maximum brightness. When RECOG TAXI is selected, both landing lights dim to a lower intensity."

That said, at least on my PC the landing light works as you describe  - they do light up but the runway is then "a lighter shade of dark". I wonder if this is just how FSX works. The RECOG/TAXI lights light up but do not seem to light up the runway.

BTW the F1 Mustang even has a Wing Inspection light, which illuminates the left wing's front edge, so that the pilot can check for icing.

cheers,

Dave.

They can't fix you a grilled cheese sandwich.

STILL LOOKING FOR ENGINE SMOKE AND TRIAL

Absolutely right! Citation Mustangs do not have JT8Ds or Speys!! :)

Did I hear someone say "Joe Satriani"? Now I gotta go buy a new hard drive so I can put all his albums into .WAV format. Wonder how much space THAT will take

Nice plane, very well done indeed

LOVE THE MUSTANG GENE FROM DUBUQUE

Oh thanks for the great information about the features.It was good to know them.Its a nice article.

Hello
It's nice to know what features does this model offer, but I think it would be very useful if devs/distributors would also say what systems aren't modelled - I hate to get a shiny new addon, hoping for it's greatness and being disappointed after some time because something doesn't work as it should (I know nobody does the circuit breakers modelling for example, but things like static switches, missing AP modes etc.).
So, what are we missing in this Flight1 Citation Mustang? So far I've discovered the VNAV, what else?

Anyone have a link to the refund/exchange policy, or can copy&paste here? I'm sure others want to see it as well.

Hi,

I have built a cockpit for my LVLD 767 (Lekseecon, OC and SIOC) which works great.
Now it is time to build another cockpit and the Mustang seems right for me.

I did not buy yet, so I have no acces to the licensed forum for informations for builder.

My questions:
are there any offsets or is there a SDK like in the 767? My plan is to use OC HW and SIOC.
Any experience here?

Thanks for help,
Peter

how do you furn off copilot pfd???????????
