FlightFX Releases Citation X V2 for MSFS 2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
The Citation X V2.1.4 for MSFS 2024 is a substantial overhaul from the MSFS 2020 version, adding an Inertial Immersion System that simulates turbulence and G-forces, a reworked P2000 avionics suite with improved FMS waypoint sequencing and PERF PLAN page, walkaround mode with interactive pre-flight elements (chocks, covers, doors), and flight performance calculations based on real Citation data. The article details upgrades to autothrottle, flight dynamics, weather radar with antenna tilt, and integration with SimBrief, making this a feature-rich study-level update for corporate jet enthusiasts.
Excerpt from Threshold
FlightFX has released V2.1.4 of their Citation X, and the acclaimed aircraft is now out for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
The developer says the aircraft has been substantially reworked compared to its MSFS 2020 counterpart.
The MSFS 2024 edition includes improvements to avionics, flight dynamics, performance calculations, the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), visuals and sound, and now supports walkaround mode and Career Mode.
A large new addition noted by FlightFX is the new Inertial Immersion System, which simulates movement and vibration inside the aircraft.
It reacts to turbulence, wind shear, touchdown, ground roll, stall buffet, high-G manoeuvres, and other forces, with the intensity configurable via the EFB.
This system is also coupled to the Citation’s new wing-flex and cockpit sound effects.
The Citation has been converted to a fully modular MSFS 2024 structure and supports the sim’s Walkaround Mode and compatibility with the VIP Transport branch of Career Mode.
Covers, wheel chocks, ground power equipment, and doors can now also be interacted with during the pre-flight inspection phase, FlightFX says.
Avionics and Flight Planning
The Citation X’s P2000 avionics suite has undergone a major navigation overhaul, and FlightFX says it has addressed missed waypoint sequencing, display synchronisation, and Direct-To issues within the Flight Management System (FMS).
Published missed approaches can now be loaded and activated through the FMS, and advisory VNAV will now predict altitudes for waypoints without published restrictions.
These predictions are also shown on the Vertical Situation Display (VSD)
Flight performance calculations have been reworked using real Citation X performance data, and fuel remaining and estimated arrival times are now calculated for each waypoint, taking into account winds, temperature, aircraft weight and atmospheric conditions.
The PERF PLAN page has been implemented, which displays take-off and landing calculations in the FMS, including V-speeds and destination predictions.
SimBrief winds can be imported here directly, and you can manually adjust your V-speeds through the Multifunction Display (MFD)
The weather radar now supports automatic and manual antenna tilt, and the Primary Flight Display (PFD) has had an HSI ARC mode added, with a weather radar overlay.
Additional navigation information, including DME distance and VOR/DME status, has also been added.
