First look at the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet in Microsoft Flight Simulator

A first look at the wonderful Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I'm not usually a fan of glass cockpit aircraft, but this one may have persuaded me - it's very, very good. I take it for a quick test flight from Wycombe Air Park to find out how it works.

p.s. I'm going to do some research on headsets - proper microphones are great - until they are not :)

Excellent introductory video and thanks. After spending a few hours 'behind the wheel' it will likely be my go-to non-prop aircraft. I'm not a big fan of the airliners, but rather stick to the prop aircraft. This appears to fit in some middle ground of getting from point A to B quickly - and at high altitudes - with the handling characteristics of a prop aircraft, particularly when landing.

Picked this up yesterday and I love it. If you don’t have much time or even if you do it’s a great little jet which you can get quickly in the air.

Very similar to the Honda but I like the VNAV and auto throttle features of this. I also like the gray and orange livery combo. I may purchase this soon. Working Title will be working on the G3000/5000 and we should see it in the first quarter of next year. This jet has customized this G3000 like the developer did with the Honda. It's a cool looking jet. Thanks for the upload and quick review.

I absolutely loved this in X-Plane 11, so getting this even as payware was a no brainer. I'm in the middle of my first short flight right now, haven't even read the manual yet. I was just going from memory and internal checklist. So far i love it.
There's one "small" thing that i hate, though.
The massive headphones on the dashboard. I get that it's most likely a product placement and it might have even helped to finance this little jet mod, but it literally blocks the view out of the airplane and was pissing me off to no end.
Thank you for this video. It would probably took me a while to find how to remove them if i haven't clicked through it. (If anyone haven't found out how, it's the middle screen/VAMS icon/Bose).
Happy flying!

Great video. I've watched a few about this plane and you're the first person who looks like you have a clue what you're doing :) And I suspect you're also the person who persuaded me to buy it :)

[IanBevington]

I loved flying this in X-Plane, so really looking forward to it coming to MSFS..

[PatriotCody]

Loving my Vision jet so far! Good video Jon.

[karlpritchard]

Thanks again for an excellent video JB. Think I'll be add this to my fs hangar.

[Lonsome]

You mentioned stuttering I'v noticed this since the last update usually near
Airports. We did have a small update the other day so maybe this fixed things.

"Can't set fire to the covers ..unfortunately!" . ..😂👍
Great review and a relaxing video as always. Will definitely look into purchasing this although i prefer old timer prop aircraft or helicopters
Thanks for the review

In real life, there's a bug with the electrical system in that if you start the engine using the GPU, the heater and air conditioner get shed and can't be restarted without shutting down the plane and starting over. So, in real life, they use the GPU to fully charge the battery, then start on the battery. The good thing here, from a rampie's POV, is that the GPU is disconnected before engine start. As the exhaust pipe is at kneecap level, unhooking the GPU with the engine running would require either a very low limbo under the very low tail, or walking all the way around the front of the plane. So IMHO as a rampie this is a good thing. Is this modeled in the plane?

The other thing I know as a rampie is that you can't add oil to the engine in the usual manner with a long-necked funnel because of how the engine's mounted. So the plane comes with this oil "dispenser" that reaches in and gets oil into the engine, and you pour the standard oil can into this "dispenser" thingy. Then you put the "dispenser" thingy in a Ziplok bag and toss that in the baggage compartment. Problem is, the "dispenser" thingy isn't pressure-proof so barfs out the oil in it at altitude. And the provided Ziplok back dissolves when turbine oil touches it. As a result, ALL Vision Jets in my experience no longer have carpet in the baggage compartment but only absorbent pads, nor carry any baggage there because all soon becomes soaked with oil. Also, there's a big oil stain down the side of the rear fuselage from the aft lower corner of the baggage compartment door. Cirrus is aware of this problem and promises a new oil "dispenser" thingy in the near future. So does this big oil stain and the lack of carpet show in the game?

FYI you cant change the weights in the cockpit. you can only change it via the sim menu. The sim menu is the master and the cockpit weight screen is the slave.

Great Vid cheers. Jon, I have been Flying the SF50 for 3 years on xplane 11, This is on another level.Glad it has come to x box x.series.just waiting for the Gigabyte.M32UC.curved screen to arrive, and take off LOL.

[THEMilkSHAIKH]

14:20 Can we take a moment to appreciate how people would kill to have a sim look this good default a few years ago.

[monteque]

I enjoyed your review and have been waiting for the release of the plane. Question; what do you use to move around the cockpit regarding your viewing. Its smooth and very nice. Thanks!

[ysteineker]

Thanks - I am not a fan of Tupperware with an ipad as PFD. - But this one is really cute. Purchased.
NGDriver had problem with ILS capture. I will check it out- maybe it will be VFR only - until update?

[Gilles]

I'll certainly buy it if it is offered on another platform than the marketplace. I have never been able to buy anything the marketplace. 🤷‍♂️

[freightshayker]

Yep, yep. This an the DA 62 are appealing to me

[geoffreyallwood]

A good first impression video but I am going to pass on this one as the H-Jet is I think better and enough for me in the small jet category. I noticed at 08:33 you referred to runway 22; just so you know how much attention I pay to your videos😊 All the best.
