I'm looking for a modern business jet with good range

I have the HondaJet, but I’d like something with longer range, around 1500-2000 nm would be perfect.

Also I prefer Garmins. I know about the existence of the FSW Learjet, however I like more plug an play/set and forget airplanes and the Learjet seems complex and difficult to learn. I enjoy sort of flying where I takeoff, turn on AP, go away and play with my kid or do some groceries, come back a few times to check where I am and appreciate the scenery and then approach and land.

I don’t have any premium deluxe version of the sim…
Thanks!

maybe the Cessna Citation Longitude?

Longitude. One of the best biz jets in the sim. Flight FX is making a citation X and a Challenger 350/3500 so those will be better when they come out.

The Flysimware Learjet is the way. I hand fly it all the time. No automation required. Beautiful aircraft, great sounds.

OP says he is looking for “plug and play/set and forget airplanes” and you offering him a jet without A/T and VNAV?

Simple autopilot is all he said he needs.

I don’t think I said that. I want to turn on the AP and walk away from the PC. Anyway still thanks for the suggestion appreciate anyway.

the longitude is the way to go here
very long range, it may look a bit daunting at first but its not, once you play with it for a while its pretty much set and forget

The Flysimware Lear is far less complicated than having to learn the FMC in the Citations. Its an incredibly easy plane to fly and has a simple autopilot that syncs up to the GPS, it’s just quick so things happen fast in the cockpit. But you could just not firewall the throttles and fly it slower.

Why not just take off and do a simple circuit and land?
