Wilco Publishing has announced its official partnership with Dassault Aviation to design the FALCON 7X as an upgrade for PC-based flight simulators, Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (P3D).
FALCON 7X : Wilco’s HiFi Simulations series 2nd title !
With unrivalled experience, technological strengths and military knowledge, Dassault Aviation built the Falcon 7X, a vision for the future.
With an all-glass integrated flight deck, Wilco Publishing’s 7X features an incredible aircraft model with superb interior and exterior details. Even the individual rivets and screws are modelled in 3D.
With authentic flight dynamics and a real audio experience, Wilco Publishing and its skilled development team will make the Falcon 7X a pure excitement in the virtual skies.
So far, more than 180 Falcon 7X have been delivered in 34 countries.

Because my English is very bad, I copied some theses from this forum:
http://www.avsim.com/topic/488788-wilco-falcon-7x/page-15
My experience is the same (ver.1.6)
· Not able to fly aircraft i t o IFR as the NAV system is not working properly. VOR instrument indication erratic and is sometimes totally displaced in relation to the ground beacon. Tested it at different airports.
· No reverse thrust indication ligths on engine instrument panel.
· Engine sound is a computerised version and does not resemble the real engine sounds.
etc.
Also light in cockpit works incorrect.
