FSX Bombardier Learjet 60 Package

Editorial

The Learjet is one of the more interesting aircraft types for me, given its rather narrow history when compared with some of the “bigger” names in aviation. However, I decided to pick this package up as it made it easy to see what the Learjet would have to offer, and the fact it came with a totally black design just made it look like something from the X-Men! Therefore, I had to pick this up and see what the fuss was about, and I have to say that the hard work of Premier Aircraft Design has really been worth it when you first start using this aircraft – it feels fantastic.

A twin fan-jet, this comes with five complete aircraft which I was very impressed by as they were more than just a new livery or a new model; it has everything managed and prepared perfectly. Additionally, it provided aircraft from the UK, Germany, Canada and the US so you got a nice variety of style and format within the aircraft.

Each model has been completely modeled inside and out with a new panel, interview view, virtual cockpit and a passenger cabin that would have fitted with the real thing. For me, the realism side of things is very important so it was nice to get a little fill of what the Learjet would have looked like on the inside – it was a very nice tough, with a huge attention to detail running throughout the aircraft that you decide to use.

It comes with some awesome sounds, too, and a full ground handling module /w pushback and taxi controls to ensure that you can get total control over the aircraft regardless of the situation that you have found yourself in.

It’s very simple and an easy, enjoyable flight that makes it much easier for you to control the entire span of the flight throughout – using a whole range of documents, too, you can refer to details such as checklists and references to understand everything that is going on around you. Whilst other mods leave you to your own devices, this actively teaches you what you need to know so that you can be the most effective pilot that you possibly can be.

The little touches – namely the animations - are hugely impressive, too. This includes opening doors and surface animations that look brilliant and manage to capture an aircraft that actually feels like its alive and doing something. It also comes with various in-flight documents that will make it very easy for you to get the assistance and understanding that you might need to master the aircraft – some of it can be a little bit challenging to fly with. Pilot’s notes area added, too, which are a nice touch and help you get a bit of knowledge and commentary from the designs.

The model, though, is the most impressive part for me – you can tell it was designed by a team of pros who know what they wanted to achieve.
