Carenado is pretty good for GA. I have all of their planes and fly them regularly.

Also Flight1 is renowned for its selection.

Lilley,

I love flying the small biz jets.
I have searched all payware companies and I will also say,

Eaglesoft has the best choices for what you are looking for.
http://www.eaglesoftdg1.com/Corporate_Aviation.htm

I have all of their biz jets.
I would suggest the CJ1 or CitationII! Great VC's and fun to fly!
Actually, I was just flying the CJ the other night!

Do not go straight out and get the Cessna CitationX!
Ease into it with the CitationII or the CJ1!

Believe me, you will not be disappointed and believe me when I say, I have bought all of them and trust me on this!


This little gem is a nice one also! Very easy to fly and comes with a bunch of things!

But I would get the Easglesoft first!

The Feelthere 145 is great. I would not reccomend the C208 though.

I didn't think you wanted turboprops - the Beechcraft B1900C and B1900D by PMDG are VERY good. There is also the Xtreme Kingair which has a bit further down the list in this forum. Also you might consider the ATR 72-500 and the Wilco CRJ as well as the new one by Abacus, Corporate Pilot - which has several different aircraft on it (I haven't tried that yet so cannot give any comments good or bad) ;D

Hope this gives you enough to think on for now

well it's that kind of private/commuter aircraft, mainly because i prefer to do small flights around europe, and i quite like the different feel than something like an A320 or a 737 type aircraft.

PMDG Beech 1900... C has more variants ( Freighter, Cargo and Passenger) but the D version has loads more liveries to download. Flight1 ATR is brilliant but a very long learning curve as it is very realistic.
Ps, the Just Flight Caravan is the Feelthere Caravan ;)
