CJSimulations Announce the Global 7500!

Is it finally time we see an absolute gorgeous LONG RANGE biz jet in the wonderful world of MSFS?!

CJ Simulations announced this in their Discord tonight with the following Statement:

"The third project I want to talk about—also mentioned a while back—is a business jet. This is a very ambitious project with its release date tied to building out the complete avionics, following official manuals. While it will never be a “study-level” aircraft, I’m working hard to implement all the avionics pages, and I’m very clear that I don’t want to ship aircraft that simply copy Asobo or Working Title avionics (e.g., jets with WT3000 garmin Or CJ4 or the Longitude avionics).

This project is based on the Bombardier Global 7500. While there have been no licensing talks with Bombardier, to avoid issues with unauthorized trademark use, this project will—for now—be called CJS GL-7500.

As mentioned, completion is primarily tied to the (quite extensive) internal avionics, developed with close attention to the official manuals. In this case, we’re following the GL6000 FCOM since we don’t have access to the 7500’s; they’re very similar, with minor UI differences. The avionics have been in development for over 8 months, so they’re fairly far along, though there’s still plenty to do. This aircraft could see a release sometime in 2026.

Regarding the 3D model, we’ve acquired a fairly accurate commercial version. As with previous models, it will only serve as a base—we need to correct many 3D aspects (internal buttons/switches and external control surface mechanics like flaps, slats, thrust reversers, and more)"

Let’s go!!

And by the way…a JF-17 a J-10 and a fictional J-20..have been announced as well…

It maybe a good idea to add a link to CJ’s Discord so folk can find out more

Looking forward to the CJS GL-7500!

Wow this looks incredible! Yall are doing a great job with this project!

Shoooooot, that’s practically a guaranteed purchase from me. I’ll be looking forward to this. Now I need to try and forget about it so I don’t get impatient. Wake me up when it releases :joy:

Finally! A nice long range biz jet! It might just be the pictures but I hope there is a texture update as they look a bit flat. hopefully it end up as a great addition

Hi everyone. I see this thread has been opened following my post on my Discord channel, and I wanted to sincerely thank you for the interest you’re showing in the project.

Right now we’re roughly halfway through development, and all the effort is focused on avionics and coding. For me, if the avionics aren’t functional and up to expectations, there simply is no project. Personally, I wouldn’t want to fly this aircraft, and I’m sure others wouldn’t either; that’s why we’re prioritizing this part.

I’m not going to commit to a specific date yet, but the plan is for sometime in 2026. I kindly ask for your patience—above all, I want people to enjoy the final product, not something rushed. In fact, it’s been in development for eight months under strict secrecy, and I chose not to make it public until now because we weren’t sure it was feasible.

I know the images show flat textures, but they’re placeholders so we can work inside MSFS; we haven’t reached the art phase yet. In parallel we’re progressing on the 3D model, and cockpit, exterior, and other texturing will come at the end, not the other way around.

You have my word that the final textures will be far better than what you see now. I’ll keep you posted on how things progress.

Once again, thank you all for the support and interest.

What’s the link to your discord server? I can’t find anywhere

here:

Can you send a new link? This one is invalid. Thank you.

Sure!

This one should be permanent:

Been about 6 months, hope development is going well

Hi @wcc96387,

Yes, development is going quite well, but we don’t usually post updates here about its progress.

However, I can tell you that, being a fairly complex project, it will still be months before it’s finished.

You can join the Discord server if you want to stay updated.

Cheers.

Yup already in the discord, just keeping the thread going for those who follow here.

what a challenging project. congrats.

No bumping of threads folks.
