Part 2 Orbx, TrueEarth US Southern, CA Full Tour in the Citation Mustang, X Plane 11 Vulkan

Nice flight. I also have this aircraft but have been disappointed with it when compared to Flight1's Citation Mustang - which is EXCELLENT. Look forward to other videos you have to offer.

I have tested it compared to real world performance data and it is almost spot on, that being said some of the systems are lacking. I don't think Flight1's works in X-Plane? ;Better systems modeling?

@@pistonstwinsandturbines2632 Yes. Unfortunately, the Flight1 product was initially released for FSX. It had a number of deficiencies but was still way ahead of it's time. They later brought it out for P3dV3 but once they upgraded it for V4 (64bit) I grabbed it, as they improved the G1000 and improved the graphics. I love this aircraft and was very excited when the Xplane product released. There are a number of areas where the Xplane product differs. Even basic things like the direction of the wheel for setting Vertical speed etc is opposite to how it is supposed to work. There is a missing panel between the cockpit and the passenger section but that's not important. The way the switches work when using the real checklist is not supported. Many of these things I've reported but I guess they aren't considered worth the work. If I didn't have the Flight 1 model and real world details on the plane, I'd probably be very happy with the Xplane version. The developer has done a good job on the plane to his credit.

Nice video, I did a flight to Truckee Tahoe today on my channel and you can see the edge of the true earth scenery there as I think Nevada cones close to the lake. Greetings from the UK. I found the citation Mustang hard to keep straight on takeoff

Orbx TruEarth Northern California should be in that region. Mustang is definitely squarily on the ground, even with proper input. Once in the air she is good. I noticed landing go well too. I think it is the initial torque on the ground roll.
