Born in the 1960's, this was the jet that would change the future of flying for executives, a new form of transportation that was extremely fast and affordable to the elite. These jets were born from the Swiss P-16 fighter bomber concept jet. William Lear purchased the design and converted it into a sleek business jet. This ultra-fast plane is capable of going into overspeed on a single engine.
One incredibly powerful, fast, sleek, yet beautiful and inspiring jet, even today, far into the future.
This aircraft package is designed for FSX and Prepar3D Flight Simulators. (This will not work in X-Plane).
Please note, this is an exotic addon package with much software coding and extreme (radical resolution) graphics. The intensity of resources needed might be too high on older, slower computers. Please make sure you can run a high end addon aircraft on your computer 'before' you purchase this plane.
Features
The Lionheart Creations LJ24B is packaed full of neat features. From its rare fuel system with transfer controls, to its riveted airframe skins, to its elaborate instrument panel crammed full with instrumentation and switches, to its nice, leather clad rear cabin complete with either passengers or air freight.
The following are some of the features of the LHC LJ24B
- Ultra high resolution 4096 Graphics on exterior and some interior textures
- Super detailed instrument panel with almost all gauges operational
- New code technology feature hold down starter switches that flip upwards after startup for 'generator' charge mode
- High detail interior features 3DS Max shading technology for subtle shading and highlights
- Illuminated instrumentation and night glow panel from hood lights
- Rear and forward cabin dome lights are on separate circuits, and the panel is also on its own light circuit switch as well.
- Hide-able high detail passengers in rear cabin
- Air Freight version LJ24B with cargo that can be hidden
- 9 Paint schemes with various interior themes including a run hard Freighter, an original White with Red stripes factory variant with 1970's interior including shag carpet, and beautifully restored, updated, high end variants with modern interior treatments such as suede.
- Engines illuminate with a nice glow in the back exhaust stacks and vary in brightness per engine load
- Autopilot System that featured on/off ALT, HDG, NAV/LOC and APP settings (early age of Autopilot systems)
- Hide-able yoke to allow you to see instruments and switches that would otherwise be hidden.
- Airfiles created by famed Wayne Tudor
- Engines cough a flame and puff of smoke on start up
- Spoilers cause a plume of vapor trail when extended at good speed
- Numerous alarm sounds for 'gear up', 'engine fire', 'overspeed', and many more 'events'.
2D Panels and Popups
Due to high request, we have created a 2D panel as well as 2D popup sub-panels, such as Electrical System and Engines, Audio Panel, Fuel Management Panel and other popups. The LJ24B features the stock FS GPS system as the LJ24B was before the time of actual GPS systems.
Bubble Popup Placcards for the beginner pilot
A new system dreamed up by Bill Ortis to help new pilots of this plane become familiar with the locations of primary controls of importance on this plane, we have incorporated a Popup Bubble Placcards system. Click a hidden button on the top left of the panel hood annunciator and these popup, showing you where key switches and controls are located.
Parking Mode
The LHC Standard 'Parking Mode' which an this aircraft features wheel chauks, turbine engine covers, front perspex reflective cover, and cabin window shades. Pitot cover flags are also features in this mode. Accessed by a hidden switch on the instrument panel.
The infamous Learjet Fuel Management Panel
The very tricky Fuel Management Panel of the LJ24B. Notorius and slightly sophisticated, this jet features an actual, controlable wingtank fuel dumping system. The fuel system is quite different from normal aircraft and requires observing fuel drain and transferring of fuel from the fuselage tanks to the wing tanks. Remember, you cannot land with full wing tip tanks.

If you're on the fence as I was*, just do it.
* I was worried about the compatibility with Flight1's GTN 750, however with the V1,1 update on LHC's website you can replace the non working weather radar with said GPS no issues whatsoever.
Note: I have limited time flying it as of 09/1/2017 and will update if my opinion has changed, if not consider this review current.
If you want to fly high & fast, you will love this bird. If you love to shoot challenging VOR & ILS approaches, you will have a blast with this LearJet. If you have the Reality XP GNS 530, it integrates perfectly, and allows GPS approaches.
The VC, especially at night, is gorgeous and exterior is stunning!
It's a bargain when you compare it to all the useless & overpriced add-ons available at a higher price.
Thank you Lionheart, this one gets my "Platinum Award for Excellence!"
