For what it’s worth as an operator of the type, the closer system-functionality matches reality the happier I am. Especially regarding the FMC and autopilot. The more I can replicate what I do in the real aircraft, the more I can develop myself and turn up to work a better pilot. You almost can’t put a price on that, however I would happily pay a large premium for an aircraft that has absolutely no cabin or external imagery yet has system functionality and manipulations that perform exactly as the real aircraft does. Every difference requires a mental accommodation that gets in the way of immersion, so I truly appreciate it every time I can perform a task as I would in real life. Every single moment you spend on refining the functionality of this aircraft translates into real, tangible benefits to my proficiency. None of your effort is wasted.

you and me both. Still working on it every day (except weekends...really need my mental breaks)....there's just tons of little details to tend to, especially with lighting control and tweaks. I just finished swapping out all the old exterior lighting with the new V12 lighting yesteday, so that's the latest thing I worked on. Still moving down the punchlist. -tk

I use LIDO personally. It's more designed for airline use but it's easy to read and does the job for the Challenger too. Corporate operators do have custom formats but none are available on Simbrief as of yet.
