As much as I love the Challenger, I needed a smaller, simpler jet to just hop in and go. And it's an 80s Citation. Can't be happier.

Captains, TorqueSim and X-Aviation are proud to announce the upcoming release of the Take Command! CitationJet 525 for X-Plane 12! This aircraft has been crafted with extreme precision, cutting-edge technologies, passionate attention to detail, and the latest features X-Plane has to offer to deliver an unparalleled simulation experience for virtual pilots. Development on this product started over 5 years ago, and we’re excited to be approaching project completion. We will share more details about the release soon. History of TorqueSim TorqueSim began as a collaboration between Steaven McKenzie and Cooper LeComp with the release of the TorqueSim Pocket Rocket in 2019. Since then, they've expanded their fleet, grown the team, and introduced a variety of high-quality aircraft. A significant milestone was when Ulrich joined as the key developer behind the acclaimed Islander BN-2B and Turbine Islander BN-2T aircraft. Building on that success, they launched their flagship product—the Take Command! SR22 Series, in partnership with RealSimGear. This product line has led to the development of several notable variations, including the SR20 and Entegra-equipped models, as well as advanced professional iterations like the G6 and the all-new G7. The SR Series marked their entry into the professional market, where their aircraft are now trusted by hundreds of professional customers worldwide for flight training, education, and recurrence programs. Now, TorqueSim is thrilled to return to its roots with the introduction of a unique and meticulously developed aircraft that we think you’re going to love. About Take Command! The X-Aviation Take Command! branding represents the very best of flight simulation immersion, and assures you this product is one of the most sophisticated, study sim level aircraft available for X-Plane! Real world pilots assist in the development and testing of these products, and real world procedures are followed. It tells you these products are unlike any other product you've seen outside of the ever growing X-Aviation catalog! Simulate what the real pilots do on these aircraft daily! About the CitationJet The CitationJet is notoriously one of the most confusingly named product lines in aviation. The Model 525 has had many different variants through the years and features a long lineage of aircraft. This model is the original CitationJet (model 525), dating back to the early 1990s. This plane is a pilot’s airplane—remarkably responsive, highly performant, and a joy to fly, all while being fully certified for single-pilot operation. A range of approximately 1500 nautical miles means you can fly a wide variety of routes with this aircraft. Some great routes include Boeing Field (KBFI) to Dallas Love Field (KDAL), Teterboro (KTEB) to Denver (KDEN), or Nice (LFMN) to Madeira (LPMA). Next Level Modeling, Texturing, and Sound Every detail of the Citation 525 has been painstakingly recreated to the highest standards of quality. We’ll let the screenshots speak for themselves. We’ll also share our custom sound pack in upcoming videos. Custom Avionics This aircraft features avionics from one of the most unique eras of aircraft panels. The semi-glass cockpit simultaneously has great character and utility, while offering a vastly different flying experience. Fully custom Honeywell ED600 EADI/EHSI pilot instruments Rising runway Single-cue / Cross pointer flight director HSI mode, Arc mode, and Map mode on the EHSI. Map mode, when tied to the UNS1 source for navigation, provides an indication of your upcoming flight path. When tied to NAV radios tuned to VORs, it provides a unique short-range navigation map. Many different navigation sources! All configurations feature the fabulous UNS1 FMS created by Amy Parent. This flight management system is modeled faithfully and provides a unique type of FMS, especially in comparison to what is commonly seen in traditional airliners. The standard configuration, alongside the UNS1, adds the CNI 5000 radio stack equipped with dual COM and NAV radios, an ADF receiver, as well as dual transponders. Additionally, it can be flown with dual X-Plane GNS530s, replacing the CNI 5000. These two GPSs are then paired alongside dualGTX 327 transponders to provide a thorough navigation solution. We also have compatibility with third-party GTN750 navigators for those that want to fly with the latest navigation systems! Custom autopilot system, simulating the variety of unique operational modes of the autopilot. Approach indexer for angle-of-attack reference Davtron chronometer Custom gyros, with various behaviors and failover modes Advanced Systems Depth We’ll go more in depth with the system descriptions in a future post as we get closer to release. Here is an initial overview of the many custom systems we have included. The TorqueSim CitationJet has a fully-custom electrical system featuring the complete array of circuit breakers, detailed modeling of the starter-generators, bus distribution systems, and the electrical consumers themselves. Pull a breaker and see the ramifications and behaviors or disconnect the battery in the cargo compartment. Even the aft breaker panel is modeled. A custom fuel system with boost pumps, transfer valves, tanks, and more is also included.. The engine interface is highly customized to include accurate engine parameters, starter logic, igniters, thrust attenuators, both turbine and fan syncing, gauge behaviors, and more. We have also customized the hydraulics systems, including gear and brake logic. The aircraft’s unique and intricate flight controls, including the ground flap 60° position, speedbrakes, trims, and control lock, have also been modeled. The fully custom pneumatic system affects everything from pressurization to climate and ice protection. From outflow valves to the pressurization controller, it's modeled. High-Fidelity Flight Model The flight model of the Citation 525 has been refined and optimized specifically for X-Plane 12, ensuring an authentic flying experience. Every aspect of the aircraft’s performance has been carefully tuned to replicate the real-world counterpart, from precise takeoff and landing speeds to accurate fuel burn rates. Custom airfoils further aid the flight dynamics, providing a true-to-life feel in every phase of flight. The flight dynamics have been fine-tuned to match the unique handling characteristics of the Citation 525. We'll see you all again real soon for another update!
