Welcome to the Tamarack Active Winglet mod for the TorqueSim CitationJet 525!
The real winglet makes the Citation up to 33% more fuel efficient by reducing drag and turbulence.
However this mod is purely visual for the time being.
To install just follow the installation guide provided in the Zip file.
Enjoy!
I wanted to share a simple modification I made to the flight model to make an allowance for the reduced drag from the winglets.
In the TorqueSim Discord channel, ProfessorCrash said the range increase is 300nm from 1100nm to 1400nm, a 27% increase in range. I therefore reduced the fuselage coefficient of drag (cd) by 27% from 0.058 to 0.049. I assumed a min cd of 0.025 (Plane Maker manual states a very sleek fuselage has a cd of 0.025) and deducted 27% from the difference between the min cd and the current cd, i.e. 0.058 - (0.27 x (0.058 - 0.025)) = 0.049. In my test flights to date, I am achieving range proportionate with ProfessorCrash's Tamarack performance graph.
If you want to try this, the line to change in the CJ525.acf file is:
P _body/0/_part_cd 0.049
I won't mind paying for a visual update if that is planned in the future. Money needs to come from somewhere for the work put into it. It looks great! But the textures maybe need an updated in the future.
Avioniquesimulation now also has an FCP (autopilot control pilot) on offer. Check the following site: https://avioniquesimulation.com/product/fcp-4003-cl650/
I don't think the CL650 has *ever* been on sale. So just buy it. It was the same price for what, two years?
An extra $10 can't be a deal breaker. It's not a great addon, it's a simulated jet. Nothing else compares.
I don't really want to sound like a broken record, but it is getting worked on. We've been working on the 650 and the TBM, with Saso trying to get as much of the 650 updates done as possible for V1.8. Now that 1.8 is out, we can both dedicate more time to the TBM, and finally get that wrapped up as quickly as possible.
Well, after strugling a lot with differente solutions, i decided to do myself an excel sheet to make the job.
I'm not a native speaker, so i did it like i could. Do your best to use it.

Livery recreating OY-CCH, a Challenger 605 currently operated by Flexflight ApS based at EKRK.
Two variants are available for download: one with OY-CCH printed under the left wing, and one without it to be used with a custom reg.
This is a livery for the Hot Start Challenger 650, inspired by https://www.jetphotos.com/registration/N400ES
Apparently this aircraft was operated by Disney before.
To install, extract the zip file into the "liveries" folder.
You can supply your own registration, N400ES is not printed on the cowlings.
This livery is in 8K.
