In general I agree with Durk.
The only issue is that if we drop the Citation we would end-up with no
bussiness jet class aircraft, which are high performance machines (compared
to props), easier to fly than an airliner (787), and with its
own limitations (as compared to fighters - F16). Also a

I tested this and found it to be true, the 787's autopilot is broken. However
the 737's cockpit is uggly. Hm can either of those be fixed before release?

I have red that the choice in between a model A and an other
model B is to choose the easier to fly.
Do you mean that FlightGear is a game (versus some other FS
non free). I am feeling that we are loosing the base of the
values we had when

Hi,
we have the 777-200 ( not in CVS but GPL!)
We have Fred's A320, which is nice to fly and we have
the b1900d, which is really good and an airliner.
But it should be no problem, to fix the 787-autopilot:
there are some people quite good in tuning the
autopilot- that's something should be done

I agree, I think a business jet (or very light jet but we have none to
my knowledge) is an important class, at least compared to adding a
second twin prop.
