I have the Eaglesoft Cessna Citation X but am missing the Tutorial. Can anyone be so kind as to let me know where (as far as I know it's not available in their official sit like the PMDG) I can download one. Guys, The Eaglesoft Citation X is quite a good aircraft, more details will come in the review but to give you an idea of how good it is, I just can't seem to stop flying it. Everyday you can find something new, as for the VC, I think Eaglesoft has something in the works that will make everyone happy, please check out their forums.
Corrosion It might well be counted as a four-letter word when it comes to aircraft, notes Rene Banglesdorf. But how can you avoid corrosion negatively impacting the value, safety and longevity of your jet? The presence of corrosion can be alarming if you don’t know much about it. It can affect both the airworthiness of the aircraft and its resale value.
With the different conditions under which an aircraft operates, it is not possible to completely avoid corrosion - but if detected and treated early, corrosion should not negatively impact the safety or longevity of an airframe. Aircraft corrosion refers to rust or material deterioration on any metal part of an aircraft. It’s arguably the most common discrepancy found during a pre-purchase inspection. And corrosion is the object of a number of regular inspections from aircraft manufacturers. The types of corrosion typically found on aircraft are Uniform Surface Attack; Intergranular Corrosion; Stress Corrosion; Crevice/Deposit Corrosion; and Filiform Corrosion. Let’s consider each of these in more detail Uniform Surface Attack: The most common type of corrosion, Uniform Surface Attack is caused by exposing metal to oxygen in the air.
Poor paint jobs or allowing paint to wear off and expose the metals underneath can often lead to a uniform surface attack. Intergranular Corrosion: Not found often, Intergranular Corrosion can be devastating when it is discovered. It can be tough to find, and whatever piece of metal is unlucky enough to have it is done for. Historically, Citation X aircraft had some trouble with this corrosion in the wings, and Cessna has since added a regular inspection for early detection (called a Document 3).
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC): The growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment, SCC is typically found in highly stressed parts like landing gear or engine crankshafts. Undetected stress corrosion is one of the most common causes of crankshaft failures. Crevice or Deposit Corrosion: This refers to the localized attack on a metal surface at, or immediately adjacent to the gap or crevice between two joining surfaces. Lapped skin joints and oil-stained rivets are great examples of where this might occur.
Corrosion Identification & Prevention The vast majority of visual inspections will reveal corrosion or indicators of corrosion on an aircraft. The most common areas affected are trailing edges of control surfaces, the inside of wheel wells, propellers, cylinder fins, areas around fuel tanks or toilets, control hinges and the battery box. Because the wheel wells of retractable airplanes are exposed to both atmospheric contaminants and exhaust gases from the engine, they are a prime hiding place for corrosion. Large cities near the coast provide the most fertile breeding ground for corrosion.
Sea air contains a tremendous amount of highly corrosive salt, and air pollution in urban areas compounds the effects of corrosion. Pay Now or Later? For most aircraft, the exterior paint and interior primer are the first guards against corrosion. By preventing the intrusion of corrosive elements, paints and primers slow or prohibit this decay.
Surface finishes also prevent dissimilar metals from coming in direct contact with each other. A good paint job provides more than a pleasing aesthetic; it protects your asset. It’s important to repair paint chips and keep the exterior in good condition. It will be far cheaper to fix the paint now than to repair corrosion damage—and repaint—later. Untreated or excessive corrosion can reduce the value of your aircraft—and a history of corrosion can be a red flag to buyers that something else may be lurking undetected.
Corrosion beyond manufacturers’ limits sometimes requires costly repairs and/or manufacturers’ engineering department involvement to rectify the situation and return the aircraft to service. We recommend a thorough pre-purchase inspection with specific attention to corrosion hotspots on that particular model of aircraft, especially if the aircraft has been maintained in an environment known to exacerbate deterioration of surface materials. Don't allow corrosion to impact the value, safety and longevity of your jet!.

I'll offer a contrarian opinion. I fly the Eaglesoft X and I have a ton of hours on it. It's a great product as is. To me the graphics are just fine I would be concerned that with a graphics upgrade we may get in the situation where VAS management becomes an issue, as it is on the new Carenado S550. Just a thought. A ton of hours WITHOUT VAS Issues is exactly what the CX Extreme 3.0 will deliver as well.
Concerns about VAS usage are something we avoid and will continue to deliver products which do not cause folks concerns. The Carenado VAS comparison is really not necessary.:unsure. As Dave mentioned in a earlier reply, I am regularly on our voice server and will happliy offer any asistance I can, in terms of the issue you mentioned: 'HDG' and 'ALT' buttons illuminated and the aircraft is in straight and level flight and will follow the heading bug. At the current time, the only thing's I can think of is the known issue with the VATSIM Wx, can you tell me if you are using any version of Active Sky or are you just using the VATSIM upload through a program such as FSinn?
Other than that the other thing could be a issue with weight and the opt crz altitude I will be on the server most of the day today and will think of anything else that could cause this issue. Thanks GS B). Please make them Windows 8/10 compatible. It was hard enough to make the Citation 2.0 works on Windows 8.1 Our policy on W8 hasn't changed but W10 looks interesting at this early date. Received from a user on W8: FSX Version: FSX Gold with Acceleration Pack Antivirus: Eset Smart Security 8 1) Disable windows Defender if not disable (Search “Defender” in Start Screen) 2) Disable Antivirus software and firewall (“Temporarily Disable Protection”) 3) Set UAC (User Account Control Settings) to lowest setting. 4) Search “UAC” in Start Screen, change to lowest setting = “Never notify me when: applications try to install software or make changes to my computer, I make changes to Windows settings”) 4) Run Eaglesoft installer as “Administrator” 5) Follow on-screen prompts 6) Reboot system 7) Disable Defender if enabled and Antivirus software again if enabled 8) Run FSX 9) Go to Free flight - Select aircraft 10) Click “Details” 11) Close “Details” screen and select aircraft for free flight 12) Fly now!

The problem was that I had to install the software in Safe mode because of the Flight1 DRM during the installation. I also have to disable troubleshooting reporting to make the airplane work in FSX. I would think that most common mortal would not know how to do this.
There is plenty of addons plane that works perfectly fine in Windows 8.1. I am running Windows 10 Tech preview right now and I see the same OS as Windows 8.1 when it comes to UAC and Windows Defender. I understand you don't want to update Version 2.0 but I am begging for the next version to make it worth with Windows 10 has DirectX12 is going to be a big deal in the gaming community.
I thoroughly enjoy the citation v2.0 and I would love to continue buying your product. Thanks for breakdown.

Nothing for us to update as to W8. None of the above is caused by ES or F1 but rather MS. If W10 continues in the same fashion, everyone will be at the same disadvantage. We'll cross the W10 Bridge after a mature product is available and we've thoroughly tested its viability for ourselves and users.

Yes but at one point you will need to find a workaround all these you are having with your developing process. Majestic and Aerosoft, two major publisher, has zero issue running on Win 8.1. No special hurdles or hoops to jump around to get it to work. If you don't change your way, you will be left behind at one point.
Windows 10 is a major shift because of DirectX12 API. There will be a huge benefits for people to migrate over.
It will diminish your chance to sales more software. Just a thought.

Hey Colin, here is something that i used to have on my desktop. Had to go into my external HD to find it.
I just re-installed the X and find this little text doc. Helpful when flying the X. This is not mine, found it somewhere a few years ago. Not sure if it will help out. 'The VNAV issue is that you got a VTA (vertical track alert) 1 minute prior to top of descent and didn't dial your ALT SEL value down to allow the aircraft to start descent automatically. Once it passed the top of descent it gave you 'RESET ALT SEL?'
At that point you dialed down the altitude and indeed the system won't start descent until you press the FLC button to re-engage the VNAV.
