Editorial
Everyone likes to fly a jet that takes away from the norm a little bit, right? After all, once you have flown one kind of each class of aircraft you’ve “technically” tried them all, yes?
Wrong! This aircraft manages to take the conventional wisdom that would usually accompany most FSX aircraft of this size and style, and throws it all in the bin.
This is an aircraft that takes a rebellious stance towards the norm, and ensures that anyone who tries this out can get something a little bit more unique than the usual business jets we’re all so used to!
However, the most important aspect of flying a Honda jet is the fact that it just feels so different in the cockpit. Whilst it still operates in much the same vein as any other aircraft, the layout and the overall style of the cockpit is a big difference compared to what most of us are used to.
An Advanced Freeware Jet
If you are looking for an aircraft that’s perhaps a bit more simplistic then this might not be for you, though. It does not really do a great job of following the conventional necessities of the typical simulator pilot, but all credit has to go to the developers of this mod for being able to get the right level of detail and accuracy on just about every aspect of the aircraft.
From the way it looks to the way it performs, this is about as close to the tribute act being better than the real thing as you are going to get with a free mod for FSX!
The attention to detail in every way is just so impressive; it’s really easy to see all of the little twists and turns that have been included along the way, giving you all the help that you need in just settling into things and getting used to the way that the aircraft flies.
Of course, the most important thing for most is just how responsive an aircraft is – are you going to feel as if you are flying something that was made by man? If that is your main concern, then you are in luck.
This is a truly epic representative of the aircraft in every single way, and this includes the level of realism that it provides you with. It makes life a whole lot easier this way, giving you total control over what you would be expecting to happen with the aircraft and what is actually happening!
Now, you can balance out the reaction that you expect to get from the aircraft more or less flawlessly. This will really help with the overall way that you fly the aircraft, as well as ensuring that you get used to its nature much quicker.
In general, the Honda jet is a very interesting project that whilst I certainly found it a little bit awkward at first; I was able to easily get to grips with and now use on a regular basis!

This is the best of the business jet add-ons by far. A great little jet to fly. Good instrumentation and VC views. This would be a brilliant addon with two improvements viz altitude callouts on landing and taxi control speed. Perhaps the developer would consider a patch.
Love this addon. One of my favorite private jets now. Easy to fly and nicely laid out controls.
The interior cabin passenger view is great and very rare among add-ons like this as most just have a view of the wing from the outside. My only main problem is there is no way to open the window shades and they are closed by default. I even tried editing the airplane config file to change the buttons to open the window shades and it still doesn't work.
There is also no option to keep them open in the config for example a line in the config that says 'window shades open=true or false' would have been nice. I would have preferred the buttons just below the window shades to physically operate them while in passenger view.
To the developer in the nicest possible way; PLEASE FIX THE WINDOW SHADE CONTROL I BEGG OF YOU! Or at least update it so they are open by default.
Very very good addon. It's one of the better private jet addons I've come across and one of my personal faves. VC is well designed & looks great with easy-to-use controls the cabin interior view with visible crew & passenger is a nice touch although it feels like a missed opportunity because there seems to be no way to open up the window shades and all are closed by default making going back there aside for aesthetic reasons pretty much pointless.
A way to press of the up/down buttons just below the window shades would have been a good way to enable window shade control. Even a simple array of buttons or switches that operate the cabin window shades in the VC would have been nice.
One of the most amazing planes that I have downloaded is the very wonderful driving system and made a pleasant trip in Egypt from Cairo Airport to Alexandria Airport Thank you very much Of course, to open and close the curtains, press the SHIFT key, then the E key, then number two, three and four, to open the back and front bags.
The very cool plane I have tried it with its compact size but its performance is great and the sounds are excellent I just did not find how to enable GPS for the trip. Thanks.
To all the people moaning about "There's no flight instruments, Only Garmin" Have you ever seen the cockpit of the Real HondaJet? Guess what: There's only Garmins in the REAL one. See Cockpit Photo: https://www.hondajet.com/images/galleries/interior/HI_Cockpit_Day_G_CockpitUpdate_a_806X536_Main.jpg
The real one has Garmin 3000 series, but hey, close enough.
can someone tell me how to operate/open the cabin window's curtain?
Great plane! Good graphics. Good effects. Good job!
It shows on my aircraft selection screen as "Honda Learjet". I have a feeling that the folks at Bombardier might get pretty cranky about that.
Why no Primary Display? It's not complete without it.
I just discovered this aircraft for fsx. Where's the crossfeed lever/button? This plane only uses fuel from the left tank, even after creating a "fuel crossfeed" hotkey and using it. Anybody else seeing this behavior and corrected it?
Love the fact that it's got the g1000; I added another instrument window so that i can pop the MFD out to another screen.
It's been my favorite for many, many years. Rediscovered it recently with my renewed interest in FSX, and it's still by far my favorite and the best freeware add-on aircraft I have tried, and the only one I have kept all these years.
Nice airplane. I had a wonderful flight and perfect landing! Thanks for sharing
Love this plane, easy to fly and enjoy all your extra perks. Very easy to download thank you.
Great plane but no flight instruments i.e. PFD HSI?? Only panel instrument is the Garmin??
The best plane I have downloaded; has g1000 a vc and vcabin... is it payware?!
I'm having the same issue with the installer pkg...states it's defective need to redownload. Did that..same issue
I tried to download again it says unable to install, installer file is damaged any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Can anyone walk me through getting this plane downloaded and running. I have luck. I can get it down loaded but not installed. Don't know what I'm doing wrong
Great and free!..Good and clear panels, like the Lady copilot... Only for Jet Intl Airports!
All your work is beautiful. You should be proud. Great Job.
