Gulfstream G550. The Gulfstream G550 is the largest and latest development of the Gulfstream line of corporate transports. This version incorporates all of the real-world flight dynamics including correct altitude cruise and speeds, range, power, and visual smoke (effects file). It has a maximum range of 8700 nm at Mach .80, FL510E. This plane is easy enough for just about any FSX-simmer to master in little time, and illustrates the technology used in today's modern corporate aircraft. Model, texture and sounds by Peter Brun. Corrected flight dynamics and data by Douglas E. Trapp.

Gulfstream G550 in flight.​Installation:

Simply copy the unzipped Gulfstream V folder and all of the subfolders to your SimObjects folder in FSX. Then enter the EFFECTS folder and read the effects.txt file for smoke installation.

Flying:

The only real thing to note with this aircraft (in FSX) is that the flaps are extreme, and the engines are powerful. No more that 2 notches are needed for take-off or landing with flaps. Rolling with less than 70% fuel will require no power, and some braking. Otherwise I've tested this model enough to be certain that it flies like the real thing. Everything works correctly and I recommend that you use autopilot for as many functions as possible, other than the final touch-down and/or taxiing.

The original version of this aircraft was designed for FS2004, and was nowhere near accurate with it's flight dynamics (it would not fly higher than about FL180). This version includes flight dynamic data that is known in the real-world. Do your own research and you will find that this plane is one of the best, based on the real-world data available. I have not invented anything in this aircraft, but simply worked the math to make her fly like she's supposed to. This includes the drag rate, lift scale, and engine power. Otherwise I'm sure you will find this plane a breeze to fly. Hopefully, you enjoy long-distance flights. Read the data available when you load the aircraft, before loading it, and you will learn what is needed.

Why won't the download display the aircraft on FSX - the file looks ok to me in the sim objects folder!

pedroFri, 29 Oct 2021 14:12:41 GMT

Don't have a virtual cockpit?

Martin WinklerThu, 24 Dec 2020 13:19:38 GMT

The ac is fine, nice, and easy to handle. The only thing that doesn't work is when I have activated the autopilot, I cannot activate speed/mach. Everything else like Alt, Nav, Appr works well, but not speed/mach. Any suggestions?

FirefalconSun, 23 Jul 2017 07:23:28 GMT

Do not follow .bmp for textrue. So, PLEASE follow .dds image files for texture as able using in both of FSXSE and FSX. Please tell to Designer. He will be sorry wrong .bmp...SHOULD BE .dds texture.

Any chance of seeing you do the G650ER and G600?

Roland BrowneWed, 29 Jan 2014 02:47:34 GMT

Hello Douglas I like the Gulfstream 650 & 280 I also would to see these airplanes with the new glass panel and what would be a nice user friend repaint program Thanks Roland Tyler Tx

AhmadThu, 12 Dec 2013 10:01:06 GMT

Hi Douglas, when will you change the cockpit instruments and panels so they look the real ones in a G550? I don't see how it will be possible -though- to mimic the PlaneView's Cursor Control Device, SV-PFD, EVS, INAV, HUD, EDS and synchronous running of those three CDU's of the FMS. I really want a more realistic looking G550 cockpit. Any chance you could create the G650 and G280? Thanks.

thats not a G550 its a G450
