Just Flight have announced the imminent release of two new products:
Legacy – Executive Jet
Take your seats for the ultimate in luxury jet travel and pilot of one of the most prestigious aircraft ever to cross the skies. Legacy - Executive Jet is due for UK release on 13th July. This beautiful, elegant and powerful machine has been developed by feelThere and Wilco Publishing to provide an unrivalled flying experience. It has a ‘New Generation’ flight deck and boasts the latest technological features in flight simulation including accurate on-board systems, head-up display navigation, an ultra-realistic flight computer and much more.
The press have been very impressed:
“This is an aircraft that stands head and shoulders above competing simulations in its class.� PC Pilot
“Beautifully modelled aircraft� Avsim.com
“This aircraft is almost perfect.� FSrunway.it
The Embraer Legacy experience is only enjoyed by a select few in the real world, but now virtual aviators can enjoy its charms in Flight Simulator X or 2004.
- Realism is the key! The Legacy features an accurate autopilot with overspeed and stall recovery systems. The APU sequences are fully simulated and linked to fuel consumption; follow the correct procedures to avoid dry fuel tanks during flight!
- Impressive animations include the wipers, hydraulic suspension, flaps, slats, spoilerons, speed brakes, thrust reversers, landing gear, passenger door, cargo hatches and stairs
- Unique features such as an animated flight attendant and real-time flight information for virtual passengers
- Four detailed liveries to choose from - Embraer house colours, PT-SCR (Brazilian), OK-SLN (Danish) and HB-JEO (Swiss)
- Advanced glass cockpit with Honeywell-style avionics, colour weather radar, GPWS, TCAS and a host of other sophisticated features
- Printed manual includes a brilliant tutorial that will help you achieve your executive ambitions!
UK Release 13th July 2007
Rescue Pilot – Mission Pack
Rescue Pilot – Mission Pack is the first in a series of exciting expansions from Just Flight that takes advantage of the new Flight Simulator X missions feature.
Flight simulation fans now get the chance to put their virtual flying skills to use. You are a pilot of an air rescue medical service and your job is to respond to any emergency calls that are received at your home base. A typical day for a Just Flight Rescue Pilot could find him airlifting an injured person from a car accident, picking up a stranded mountaineer or flying a life-or-death dash with a vital medical cargo. The work is always challenging - but never dull - and the job satisfaction is immense!
Rescue Pilots must use their flying experience to the full in a variety of fixed wing and rotary aircraft to complete the missions but there is also a choice of settings to match an individual’s skill levels.
The twelve authentic missions with realistic ATC and convincing scenarios will keep virtual rescuers glued to their joysticks. It’s time to get airborne and do your bit!

I tried finding the reviews of the Legacy on the sites mentioned and couldn’t ??? Avsim does have a review of the Citation X is it one and the same? I’m not sure why they’ve included a blow-up doll in a blue uniform with the aircraft and certainly Avsims reviewer found her presence “scary”

Here’s the review on fsrunway.it - http://www.fsrunway.it/Wilco_%20Legacy_review.htm - but it’s in Italian.
PC Pilot is a physical paper magazine, and I don’t think they reproduce them on their web site, so you’d need to try and obtain a back issue if you wanted to take a look.

Just Flight just keeps crankin ‘em out. I have the download version of the Legacy and it is an amazing aircraft. I’d have to put it in my top five, (nothing has touched the ATR YET)! Rescue Pilot looks like an interesting change of pace. Something I’d like to see more of.

Hi Ken. Yes, I’m really looking forward to the mission pack. I think we’re going to see a lot more of these over time.

The FS Runway site has some nice screenshots and they seem to like the pack awarding it 9.5/10, I did manage to spot the rubber lady lurking in the background
PC Pilot doesn’r list the review amongst this issues contents although it does take a look at the rescue pilot add-on which I’d be interested in reading.
As for AvSim is the Citation X the same as the Legacy or is it a different model?
