Flight 1 Cessna Citation Mustang Review Reviewed by: Eric McClintock #38; Mark Stewart Click each image for original size. Installation #38; Documentation: Anyone who has ever used the Flight1 system knows that the process is extremely painless and easy. Just download the installer package from Flight1 (194MB), put in your order details and you will be on your way, or you can purchase right from the installer. One useful tip that can be gained from the flight manual is not to start a brand new flight with the Citation Mustang, instead start a flight with a different plane, any default plane will do, and once in game switch to the Mustang. This will ensure that all gauges and flight systems load properly. The product is very well documented. It includes a 93-page user manual, with plenty of visuals and sections. In order to get the full experience if yoursquo;re not a Citation Mustang expert, I would recommend printing out the manual and keeping it nearby. The manual also includes all of the checklists you need, and aircraft data. Model: The aircraft model is detailed down to the last light in the full virtual cabinhellip; But wersquo;ll start with the external model for now. The Flight1 Citation Mustang includes 6 different paint schemes, including one used for the certification test flights. It also includes front and rear baggage areas, which can be controlled through that standard Shift + E + # key commands, or a pop up control panel, and the same for the main exit. In order for any of these surfaces to be activated, Engine 1 N1 must be below 25%, which will prevent accidental opening while in flight, leading to depressurization of the aircraft. The Flight1 Cessna Citation Mustang includes a lot more than just fancy doors. As you would expect, all external surfaces are modeled. Including aircraft lights, engine fans, speed brakes, flaps, rudder, ailerons, elevator, and even communication equipment at the top of the aircraft. In addition to all of this, the pilotrsquo;s head moves according to your joystick input, a nice touch. The aircraft includes a full slew of aircraft camera views to enjoy. Going inside the aircraft is where the work put into this aircraft really shows, Most specifically in the Virtual Cabin. The virtual cabin includes dozens of ldquo;clickablerdquo; items to interact with, including seat arm rests, lights, tables, drawers, the main cabin door, even window shades and the toilet. Yes, there are even instructions in the Pilotrsquo;s Guide about how to interact with the Mustangrsquo;s toilethellip; But we wonrsquo;t be spending too much time in the cabin, lets move on to the cockpithellip; Virtual Cockpit: Before going on to the Virtual Cockpit, I think we should really start with the 2-D cockpit, which is something typically not included in a lot of modern payware packages, which is a shame because in my opinion, it comes in useful and yields better FPS than a VC. The 2-d cockpit also makes clicking switches and turning knobs easier. This model includes a full 2-D cockpit, with 6 separate viewing angles, and 7 additional pop-up panels for the Throttle, MFD Controller, Autopilot and lighting panels, and the auxiliary panel for controlling the items wersquo;ll talk about in the ldquo;extrasrdquo; section. The aircraft can be totally managed from the 2-D panel if needed. However, lets move on to the Virtual cockpit. Like in the virtual cabin, there are plenty of extras such as dome lights, map lights, and no aircraft is complete without a ldquo;Seatbeltrdquo; light, complete with the ldqu...
