20 Series Business Jet FSX Add-on Package

The Xtreme Prototypes 20 Series add-on business jet package for Microsoft® Flight Simulator X contains six variations of the legendary Models 24, 25 and 28.

The classic 20 Series aircraft, nicknamed "fighters in civilian clothing" because of their sleek design and amazing performance, were the first true executive jets and would forever redefine the way corporate America and the rest of the world did business. Their timeless design and capabilities earn them a place among the "extreme aircraft", setting record after record while allowing shirt-sleeve comfort in their plush cabins.

Each highly-detailed 3D model is inspired from the real world aircraft and features many movable parts and high resolution textures. The fully functional 3D virtual cockpit contains over 800 parts and more than 200 back and front-lit 3D gauges, lights, switches and flight instruments.

While this add-on package allows comprehensive procedural IFR flight, we at Xtreme Prototypes recognize that not everyone has the time, patience or inclination to read, understand and learn a complete manual, which is why the Xtreme Prototypes 20 Series remains simple to operate. Anyone who masters Flight Simulator's default jets can fly the 20 Series aircraft for FSX. It's up to the user to decide which level of complexity he/she wants to achieve.

The custom flight model has been designed to simulate the performance of a high-powered civilian jet aircraft. The package includes custom visual effects and sounds, multiple camera views and a detailed flight manual (PDF format, in English and French).

The Xtreme Prototypes 20 Series for Flight Simulator X is compatible with FSX SP2, FSX Acceleration Expansion Pack and FSX Gold.

Fully Functional 3D Virtual Cockpits

Each 20 Series aircraft comes with a fully functional virtual cockpit which contains over 800 parts and more than 200 front and back-lit animated gauges, switches, levers, light indicators and flight instruments.

The full 3D gauges have been carefully designed and programmed based on the original analog instruments found in the real business jets. Virtually all gauges, switches, lights and instruments found on each panel are functional and behave like the original ones found in the real aircraft. Aircraft engines and most systems present in the real aircraft are also simulated.

The virtual cockpit allows for complete IFR flight, and features all the instruments, annunciators, displays, switches and knobs necessary to do so.

Multiple VC camera views are provided to help the pilot access switches and other items in areas of the cockpit that are difficult to reach when in the default VC view. Users can cycle through the different views.

The virtual cockpit allows for total 3D immersion into the 20 Series flying environment.
