Description
Hi all,
This is version 1.0 of the MSFS Bombardier Challenger 605 / 650. It is a conversion from my own X-plane 11 model to MSFS, just for fun and to see how much work it is to creat something for MSFS (answer; quite a lot, and doing this for the first time, quite frustrating at times when used to the other sim). The Challenger 605/650 is a great private/ corporate jet, capable of flying around 4000nm, cruising at mach .82, while still able to land at short 2400ft runways. Don't fly it like a b737 or a320; vref is much lower; around 117 kts at lower weights.
What to expect:
Don't expect a 100% perfect copy of the real plane. What I did model are those parts that are needed to have a nice virtual flight. The outside model has all the normal animations and lights. There is an actual Challenger 605 virtual cockpit, with all the buttons and screens in the right places. Not all buttons work, but the aircraft is very much usable for flights. The screens themselves are a copy from the CJ4 though. The passenger cabin, doors and windows have not been modelled yet. I may do an update at a later point to include those. Constructive suggestions on improvements, or questions are very much welcome.
Some tips:
To start; on the overhead: APU on > Ignition on > Start L or R on, when N2 > 20% click the red lever down the L/R throttle 'Fuel valve on' and the engine should start
To shutdown; move the L/R lever on the throttle in the up position and the engine will stop
Parking brake is bottom left on the pedestal
To set the radio frequencies go to the CDU and click on TUN (next to the H)
When entering a flightplan/ dep/arr route, make sure to click validate and then exec (even though it does not light up)
To install, copy the contents of the zip into the community folder, aircraft should now appear in your hanger.
Liveries included in this package: JetNetherlands PH-HWM, Vistajet OE-INA, Netjets N207QS and REGA HB-JWC.

I hope you enjoy, stay safe, happy flying!
Best regards,

Overall, an amazing aircraft I really respect that you made this, as well as your own cockpit! Can’t wait to see the future of this amazing aircraft. Just some minor issues with it: the thrust is way too strong for this aircraft and so is almost impossible to cruise, secondly, after first direct to it fails to follow the route for some reason, lastly, it would be nice to have some contrails.
thanks for this great aircraft and keep it updated would love a more detailed cockpit!

I really don't like to be mean when people take their own time to make a free plane. The outside looked great. The inside I could live with if I could control this thing. Couldn't keep it in level straight flight and the throttle was just too fast. I'm wondering if I did something wrong or messed a setting up. Couldn't control it if my life depended on it.

Never mind, I redownloaded everything, and sound + wing views are all there. Amazing stuff, sorry for the scare!

Nice Aircraft, even with an custom cockpit. Far better than just using an cockpit from one othe the vanilla MSFS aircrafts.

It is not perfect, nothing on here is. It was nice to have a different aircraft to fly! Nice work and keep on adding more aircraft. Thank you!!! I appreciate it!!!

Just a small review from my side with the expectation mentioned above by the author ;)
I really like the fact we now got a neat little private jet for free other than the CJ4, anyway I think there is much potential not yet met.
The aircraft handles just fine imho, it behaves stable in flight and is fast. Nothing really special here as it's not intended to be "study level".
When it comes to the visuals one can clearly see that the roots of this aircraft are within XPlane 11 as this sim forgives more modeling and texturing errors than MSFS does. Some areas seem to have normal issues, especially around the windshields frame and the (likely photorealistic) textures show some stretching on top of the fuselage.
The meshes could need some more polygons as MSFS can handle many of these compared to XP, especially when making proper use of LODs :) the switches in the interior are a good example as some knobs on the overhead look really blocky. Materials also could be better used as the whole aircraft is glossy (including tires).
A revision of the whole model by time would be really welcome, it's a good start ofc but it needs still much work to fit the default MSFS fleet or other freeware aircraft either in progress or already released. Probably you can reach out to wnpilot101 (https://community.flightsim.to/member/Lh78TZvvsl) who was also working on a Challenger 300 to team up - both projects could take some advantage from this :)
