<ZSK> LJ-45XR Version 1.02

I flew the demo 1st was very impressed, Thanks ZoraSlade Karu

This plane looks and fly great.
It feels smooth and reliable except for the camera sometimes.
Included paint are looking good and the plane is filled with nice details.
Keep in mind it's not an easy plane, it's more realistic than most planes.
Once you are used to it, it's a really fun plane to use.
I don't regret buying this, as for all ZSK planes.

I have flown this a while now an I am not new to flying in SL so that will influence my review of course. I LOVE the ability to resize the whole aircraft, not being 8 foot tall this is huge feature, the build looks pleasing to the eye and has good detail without being excessive which could make sim crossings more painful. It does come with a nice assortment of paints though I wish it had a few more and you will have a unique aircraft ID and not need to modify the paints for this. The hud can be confusing until you get used to it and I also have had issues with it not working due to lag. This aircraft does accept command from chat so it is possible to make gestures as a fail-safe so when the hud does not work. Some big issues I have had are landing Spoilers and Reversers will Auto deploy which sometimes will not stop requiring stopping engines on the runway or risk flying backward off the runway. When Spoilers and Reversers works correctly you can land on very small runways which is great considering SL. Sometimes the Tug will not work correctly and seems to go insane.. times I could not get it to working at all and simply had to use Edit to move the aircraft to the runway. This is a complex aircraft and NOT advised for anyone new to flying, as it is considering SL you will still have some issues, but they will be far worse lacking experience and knowledge. I hope the maker will take the tips here and those pointed out on their other aircraft and make some updates before providing us more new aircraft. All of them are very nice aircraft, but will be much better with some bug fixes.

I am a huge fan of ZSK designs, that being said, there is slight improvement to be made to this aircraft. It is certainly worth the lindens as is, however, lacks a guide that describes every flight system onboard. For example, the guide lacks to mention what "MCT", or "MCR" are on the throttle, or when to use them. A beginner pilot may get twisted around playing with the throttle in this case. Also, the GPS lacks any in-depth tutorial at all. The buttons on it are only to be played with, often to no avail. That being said, my positive feedback comes greater in number:
This aircraft handles very realistically. It emulates the fact that a big plane cannot handle like a fighter jet. It comes with a workable interior. A working toilet, seats, seat adjustment, table trays that you can pull out, a fridge with drinkable beverages. Or, from your comfy, custom-colored seat, you can order a drink from the dialogue menu. The exterior has some rocking paint jobs, and the interior is also paintable! The HUD has too many features for me to list here, such as an APU that must be turned on to power engines up, unless a GPU is plugged in. These small details make even minimal use of flight systems make a pilot feel like a professional. And splendid work was done altogether on this wonderful plane.

There is definitely a learning curve with this beautiful complex aircraft, but once you figure it all it, I doubt you will want to fly anything else. Practice different techniques to keep up your speed but not so fast that you cant handle it. Several different creators collaborated to give this Learjet all of the bells and whistles and it will not disappoint. It is by far the most realistic and most complex aircraft in SL to date and I have flown them all.

I had been waiting for this to be released so i could get to grips with the A mode of this aircraft as the demo was only the B mode model of basic flight for beginners to regular pilots. The B mode in itself is very good and is a great plane to learn the controls and feel of the flight of this plane, however when you take to the skies in the A mode model this is when it really shows its performance and quality.
First off both models are identical except for the flight scripts, they have great LOD and modelling with material based graphics and textures for people to be able to modify and make the plane their own (Texture files come with plane via a download link).
The A mode is basically like taking on a Flight Sim experience, the controls are advanced and very immersive for even the most demanding roleplayer pilot who wants to feel like they really are taking on a full flight experience. Crossings have been mixed in my experience i would say recently between Jan and Feb 2018 i have had about 85% successful sim crossings which considering the state of sim crossings in SL over this period being very poor it has proven very reliable.
The cockpit controls take some getting used too and you really need to familiarize yourself with the positioning of the switches as the labels on my monitor are very hard to make out. You do however have the option to use voice commands instead of clicking switches which i tend to do more as a preference.
The weather FX i have barely played with as yet but have tested a few and they are a fun addition, as well as an extra roleplay experience to create hazardous conditions when in flight.
My only bug bare is the jet stream particle which becomes activated over a certain altitude, this can be annoying if you have an airport over that altitude as I have not found a way to switch them off and they can block your vision if in 3rd person flight view.
Conclusion this plane has all you need for a flight sim experience in SL.
