XL560 CITATION FSX | P3D

I was super excited to hear about Carenado releasing this and knew I had to buy it. I have about 2000 hours in the real C56X and call it 'the best all around compromise' as far as business jets go. I have only done one short shakedown flight tonight and was overall impressed. I don't know who had the idea to put a Primus 1000 in there because as far as I know, no Excel has one of those and I have flown 30 or 40 different tails. The visual model is very nice, and the performance/flight dynamics seemed pretty accurate after the first hop. I will also say that I am happy the Thrust detentes are modeled well! The list of things I took notes on that may be fixable for …

Just to keep them all in one place. I've submitted a ticket for the following: 1. Taxi / landing lights illuminate the V.C 2. Unable to engage nav mode on both F1 GTN and built in FMS without cycling modes several times. 3. When nav mode is finally engaged, it states it is in approach mode on the PFD (even though it's not). 4. APU doesn't work. Cheers.

Just got the aircraft, and am struggling through the RXP GTN integration.. 1. In the XL560 aircraft folder there is a file called RXPGTN750XL560.exe which you should run. After that, the GTN shows up in the panel. 2. Close down P3D and go back to the XL560 aircraft folder and edit the RealityXP.GTN.ini file with Notepad, adding three lines if they are not already there: [GTN_750_1] ; is the master device if true. MasterDevice = true ; aviation db: 0: nav_db2_grm, 1: nav_db2, 2: nav_heli_db2_grmn, 3: nav_heli_db2 NavDbType = 1 VoicePref = MALE ; connects to: 'PFC_GTN' or any '#PID' (#D067 for PFC_GTN) ; no value connects to first found, …

Just made a short flight after installing the new panel. Everything works very well. Thank you Bert for your outstanding work giving to the Community. Thank you, Peter

How do you set the landing elevation on the cabin pressurization panel?

A handful of people have reported issues starting the engines on the Excel so I made this video showing how I've been doing it (with successful results - only a few rare roll-backs, but it always starts on the second time). If you're still having issues after watching the video, please comment below and I'll do my best to help you.

Wrapping up an older Netjets livery. This livery is also common on a number of Excels once they leave NetJets, too, so expect a few additional repaints from it as well. And while this represents about 10 hours of work so far 🙄 I still have a few things to tweak... But, I hope to get this to you all very soon! Screenshot is in P3Dv4 but I plan to make it compatible for FSX as well. You can expect a NetJets Europe version as well. Stay tuned!

I'm wrapping up N29ZR, operated on charter by Mountain Aviation from Rocky Mountain Metro airport in Broomfield, CO. While this appears to be a simple repaint, relatively speaking, it was not so simple to paint with Carenado's usual "fun" textures sheets (it represents about 5 hours of work. ugh!). But, I'm pretty happy with the results. If there's interest, I'll make it available on Avsim within the next day or two and update this thread with the link.

There's some incompatibility issues with p3dv5 as I read, I don't have it but plan to buy it, but need to know if there's plans to update to p3dv5. Common issue as I read in others forums are landing light turns on but doesn't illuminate the runway.

Both the passenger & cargo doors respond to SHIFT+E, and pressing SHIFT+E again closes both. Is there any way to have these two exits operate independently (which would make my GSX-2 boarding and unboarding easier to handle)?

Hi, I purchased XL560 today and I’m having very tiny stuttering. It freezes for very short amount of time and then move again. It seems very minor issue but very annoying. Does anyone have same issue or know any way to fix it? Thanks

Sorry if its already been asked and answered, but can anyone let me know how to change the range in the center display? Thanks.

Hi Everyone, 3 Days ago i bought the Carenado XL560 for FSX:SE, after completing the Installation i start my Flight Sim and try to select the Carenado XL560 after selecting the game the menu is literally blank and the following error occurs:''Visual model could not be displayed Carenado C56X WHITE'' i tried a reinstall-without success. Yesterday i reportet Carenado this error and they said i should try i reinstall, but this time selecting FSX instead of FSX:SE, however i tried that but unfortunately always the same Issue. I dont know what to do anymore, can anyone help? Regards, Alex

Well, after reading all the work you guys have done on this bird, I bought it today, installed it, and had the same problem I have had with other Carenado aircraft. Frame rates less than 5. Running FSX. I have a mid range system 4.6 on the CPU and a Titan X. So my system should not be overpowered. I have seen this in the past and sometimes it is cured by playing around with accesses to the Carenadonavigraph folder. So I changed some permissions and accesses with no joy. Before installing the 560 I uninstalled all my other Carenado aircraft as I have seen some interference in the past. Right now this one is dead. I know I can go to the GTN but I would really like…

Hi all: Does anyone know what the sounds named AB1, AB2, and AB3 simulate? They are located in FSX/Sounds/Carenado/XL560/Basic. They run in the background constantly and I find them distracting. I finally changed the volume to very low on these sounds so now I hardly notice them. Just wondering.... Thanks Rick

Is there a way to operate the ALT inc/dec knob on the MFD via FSUIPC? When I operate the knob via mouse and do logging to file or console, nothing is shown. Already tried "Ap Alt Var Dec Fast", but that didn't do anything also ....

Hello everyone. I was installing Chase Plane into My P3D v4.5 and a number of the keyboard shortcuts were getting in the way. So I started removing the ones I don't use (which is quite a lot of them). I think I deleted the " Shift+8" keyboard assignment. As you know, that assignment turns on the popup for setting the Aircraft State. Needless to say, I can't do that now So, if you have this aircraft, can someone look to see what command this shortcut launches so I can put it back in the keyboard assignments profile. I've even gone so far as to delete the carenado folder and reinstalled it. That didn't seem to work.

Well, I have this aircraft working at 1.2 level and I must say that I think this is the most complete Carenado aircraft that I have purchased. Good frames, reasonable VAS (running FSX) and everything seems to work. I don't ask her to do a lot, but she does what I need to get from Point A to Point B, and TO and landing safely. Still exploring all the functions, but so far so good.

What is up with these station loads on the 560XL? reference_datum_position = 0.0, 0, 0 station_load.0 = 190, 5, 0, 0 station_load.1 = 190, 5, 0, 0 station_load.2 = 0, 4, 0, 0 station_load.3 = 0, 3, 0, 0 station_load.4 = 0, 1, 0, 0 station_load.5 = 0, 1, 0, 0 station_load.6 = 0, -1, 0, 0 station_load.7 = 0, -1, 0, 0 station_load.8 = 0, -2, 0, 0 OK, and so then I looked at the C90 GTX and it has this (the comments are what I'm referring to, which the XLS doesn't have): station_load.0 = 175, 2, 0, 1 //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet) . . station_load.9 = 110, -5, 0, -1 //Weight …

Heres what happens to me, I move lever for engine right to cutoff, then press the right start button. At about 20 N2, I move lever to idle. engine spools down, and I have to repeat a second time to get engines to fire up. What am I doing wrong?

Just checking in case I am being very stupid but in the main aircraft folder there are three cfg files.....aircraft, aircraftfsx and aircraftp3dv44 I can't find reference to these anywhere in the documentation that came with it. If I have P3Dv4.5 am I meant to use the aircraftp3dv44 file and just change it's name to aircraft???

I know the detents are there to set the max thrust to the setting, but is there a way to modify this? For example, I know that an N1 setting of 93.6 (96.6 N2) will give me a stable cruise between M.714 and M.725 depending on atmospherics and wind, if I could have this set under the cruise detent it would make life a little easier

Hi. There are no waypoint symbols (little 4-corner stars on screen!) on flight path. But they must be) Fonts are installed. Win 10 Pro x64 all updates, P3D 4.4 HF2, Cessna 560XL and Premiere (there are no symbols in both planes) Any suggestions, please!

A little Help Please, I looked everywhere in the XL560 Carenado provided documentation , but ALAS no help. On the stock XL560,What to do the following acronyms in the Menu buttons at the bottom of the MFD stand for? “SNGP”? Select/Click SNGP -->” TO”? “ST EL”? “VANG”? Finally , Where do I find the FD ( FlightDirector) switch. ?, I see the AP switch at the bottom right of the CoPilot CDU BUT no FD switch. Best hari

Can someone please advise me regarding the switch positions needed to get ILS cues on the PFD? Thanks. (Running P3D V5).
