brent123 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Hey guys, I would like to announce XRealSim's new project, the Cessna Citation Excel (other names: Cessna Citation XLS/Cessna Citation 560XL). The project will feature:- a 3D cockpit with some systems,- 3D cabin- 3D fuselage with opening doors, luggage doors,- fully animated exterior and probably the cockpit as well- detailed paint & modeland much much more. Some progress images: Matija & Ilias 6
brent123 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Posted July 24, 2013 I forgot to mention this:I know there's a Cessna Citation II, Cessna Citation X (3 projects, two on hold) and Cessna Citation 10 in work. There's still no good Cessna Citation XLS, so this is the reason to start the XLS one, not to mock other projects. I also know that there's XLS by X-Hangar... I do not find it good, it's too stock... IMHO, that one should be freeware. The price of my model will be around $15, not more, maybe even less. Here's the first test picture in X-Plane: Thanks for.. The likes (I guess)? Mat 5
Ntr09 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Good to hear you're working on this! Can't have too many Citations... -NR
79carboy Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 Looks good, looking forward to final product!
brent123 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Hello guys, I've been working a bit on the exterior model, on the wing control surfaces to be exact. Still lots to be made.Check the progress here (image): Mat Edited September 6, 2013 by brent123 2
Liner45 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 what program is being used to model the aircraft
brent123 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Posted September 6, 2013 Not sure if a question or... (no question mark)Hehe, just kidding! I'm using Blender 2.67b, now switching to 2.68b once it comes out, still waiting. Mat
brent123 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Posted October 12, 2013 There seems to be none/little interest into my/our projects... But yeah, the development keeps going. Here's a progress pic of the engine. Mat 4
79carboy Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Wow, great job. I am (and many other people are) still excited for your projects, but we simply (just like you, I imagine) don't have the well needed time to check up on your projects. School has started and most people are digging hard into their studies. Keep up the great work! 2

brent123 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks mates. Yes, I know some people are but not many I have school too, but I still find time Mat
iandiss Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Looks great so far. I follow the progress but just don't say much. I am waiting for the finished product to add to my hangar of "twins" Keep up good work.
Triple7Kevin Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Hows the project coming? Early pics look great!
MercuryMat Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Will this plane have a custom FMS? I'm really interested in business jets but i hope the develop will include some more complex systems... Sent from Tapatalk
brent123 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks guys. Well we haven't yet talked about a custom FMS, since you know, it takes a long time to make. We can't promise anything. Mat
raven1982 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 I would purchase the acf with the standard fms from x-plane. I know I don't speak for everyone but that would still work for me. After watching a few of the fms videos from Cessna, it would be difficult to duplicate it exactly and costly. If you guys did make a custom fms that worked like the one in the actual aircraft I would consider that an addon and additional payware for the acf already produced. Just my thoughts.
Anxu Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks guys. Well we haven't yet talked about a custom FMS, since you know, it takes a long time to make. We can't promise anything. MatYou could consider some in cockpit integration with UFMC. Yes it's not real, but I will take that option. Just a thought.
Jorik Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) If I'm not mistaken the Cessna Citation XLS uses the Honeywell UNS-1 GPS. On this forum there's a topic from a guy developing such a FMS system but he is searching for more information. You can find the topic and a YouTube movie at the following url. http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?/topic/6482-UNS-1-support-needed Kind regards, Jorik Edited March 6, 2014 by Jorik
