FlightFX has just confirmed that their take on the Cessna Citation X, the C750, is ready for release. Mark your calendars for July 10, when the aircraft will become available exclusively through the MSFS Marketplace for both the 2020 and 2024 versions of the sim, priced at $29.99 USD.
If you’ve been following this project, you’ll know the journey hasn’t exactly been a straight line. FlightFX themselves admit it’s taken “countless late nights, endless reworks,” and, in their words, “more caffeine than any doctor would recommend.” But now, after many hours of development, the C750 is finally ready for departure.
FlightFX isn’t holding back on features. The C750 arrives fully loaded with a highly detailed simulation of the aircraft’s systems, avionics, and performance characteristics. This isn’t just about getting from A to B quickly (though it will, as the Citation X remains one of the fastest civilian jets ever built). It’s about doing it with a level of fidelity that simmers have come to expect from the studio.
What to expect?
At the heart of the simulation is a bespoke Honeywell Primus 2000 suite, covering everything from the PFD, MFD, and VSD to the FMZ FMS, and the aircraft offers full VNAV support across climb, cruise, and descent.
It’s powered by a custom FADEC system, with the option to use a VNAV-coupled autothrottle managed through the integrated VAMS tablet. FlightFX is also simulating the Engine Performance Baseline (EPB) system, which dynamically affects engine behavior based on real-world operating conditions.
You’ll also get the choice between winglet and non-winglet variants, each accurately modeled with performance differences reflected in the sim.
FlightFX also promises a full-fledged deep simulation of pressurization, environmental, hydraulic, electrical, fuel, and ice protection systems. You can expect complete RTU and autopilot functionality, including IRS alignment, CAS messaging, engine sync, and detailed FADEC logic, all operating in a way that mirrors the real-world aircraft.
The FlightFX VAMS 2.0 tablet returns, now with even more functionality. It features Navigraph and OpenStreetMap integration, a SimBrief-linked load manager, and options to toggle the autothrottle, switch between LCD or CRT displays, and manage cabin configurations.
The ground services page covers essentials like covers, chocks, and GPU connection, and there’s even an active noise reduction feature to dampen cockpit sounds, if that’s your preference.
Looks and sounds to match
Visually, the C750 comes with volumetric lighting, realistic strobes, and enhanced bounce lighting both inside and out. The cabin also includes interactive elements and realistic clutter, right down to dynamic placards that change with your registration.
The soundscape comes from recordings made onsite in California, covering everything from engine starts to APU hums, mechanical clunks, chimes, and cabin interactions. Boris Vanian is at the helm here, so expect a top-notch soundtrack from all across the C750.
One note for MSFS 2024 pilots
If you remember from a previous update, there’s a small caveat for those flying in Career Mode on MSFS 2024. FlightFX notes a persistent issue with the autopilot disconnecting in that mode, so the aircraft won’t be supported in Career Mode at launch. The team says this is on their radar and will be addressed in future updates.
It’s been a long flight, but the runway is now in sight for the FlightFX Citation C750. The aircraft lands in the MSFS Marketplace on July 10 for $29.99 USD, and it’s set to be a standout entry in the simulator’s growing fleet of business aircraft.
