[MSFS2024] Cessna Citation Longitude

For some reason its in MACH hold mode already, you can click the speed knob on the AP panel and switch it back to indicated airspeed. The AT seems to be working fine, it was set to 0.37 and holding that. That just happened to be 149 knots at that altitude.

For some reason I have to actually click on the selected climb profile on the vnav page every time or it will try to climb at a slow speed and eventually stall. You might give that a try.

The developer (Working Title) replied to a DM from me that only the default livery works with MS2024 at the moment. The others will be included when they have been updated.

To add to the confusion, the Marketplace lists the Longitude as Working Title’s product with 7 liveries, and your library (when you buy it) will show Asobo as the developer with only the default livery.

yeah it sucks. I just want a NetJets livery.

Is the VNAV broken in 2024? I tried to select a 4-degree descend, but the FMS locked me out from adjusting it. The system gave me a 1.8-degree angle, which is worse than the default 3-degree.

It’s beyond frustrating that with the disastrous release of MSFS 2024, Asobo/Microsoft broke the local file structure — something that absolutely didn’t need to be touched. As of today, six months later, we still have no proper solution for local file access, and worse, no official support to create liveries for the Longitude, even though the community has been asking for this since the release!

This forced move to a fully streaming system is a major reason why a large part of the community is sticking with MSFS 2020. Many of us paid good money for MSFS 2020 content, and now, with 2024, we’re being locked out of basic functionality that was essential to the sim’s success and the thriving community around it. It’s extremely disappointing to see how slow and dismissive Asobo seems to be when it comes to listening to community feedback.

We’ve been asking — repeatedly — for simple things like livery support for the Longitude, a core aircraft. No answer. No roadmap update. No commitment. Just silence. At this point, it feels like community needs are being ignored while flashy marketing features take priority.

We need real communication, real solutions — and the ability to own our content again. Enough is enough.

Bummer. Sounds like the Longitude is a mess in 2024. Guess I’ll just continue flying 2020 for a while longer.

I regularly fly the longitude in 2024. Yes there’s only the one livery but the plane itself is beautiful to fly and personally I can’t fault it. For free flight it’s my goto aircraft. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

It’s only available in the premium package ?? How does it compare to the Longitude in 2020 ??

Not played 2020 since 2024 launch. I find 2024 beta 2 stable for my gaming requirements. As for the longitude, it handles well, the Garmin avionics are superb and I have no complaints.

As long as the flight plan is correctly configured, I can press AP immediately after raising the landing gear and the longitude will climb, cruise and descend with auto throttle without further interaction, follow the ILS to ground, leaving me to enjoy the ride and take over a few feet above the runway for a perfect landing. It will follow every speed and altitude restraint, STAR or VNAV and do so at x8 sim rate. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

The longitude flies wonderfully in 2024. I haven’t had any issues with it.

I guess you’re the lucky ONE then?
the Cessna Citation Longitude in MSFS 2024 continues to have significant issues with LOD and external textures. The aircraft often shows incorrect or missing textures, with the fuselage attachments like the wing pylons, antennas, and other small details not loading correctly at a distance. These parts either appear blurry, flicker, or fail to render entirely until you’re close enough. Additionally, there’s a noticeable asymmetry in the model, textures and components load differently depending on your viewing distance, with one side of the aircraft sometimes looking completely different from the other. This is particularly visible when the aircraft switches between high and low LOD settings, causing some details to pop in or out of view in a jarring way. The reflections and shading can also be inconsistent, making the aircraft look unpolished and incomplete. Additionally, there are problems with Navigraph integration and the aircraft forgetting unit settings between sessions.

Add me to the luck list :grin:. But then I don’t use navigraph. I fly the plane from inside the cockpit and rarely look at the aircraft from the outside so have never noticed the issues you mention. I don’t care if a bit of wing looks funny or an outsite panel doesn’t render correctly.

From a pilot flying the aircraft point of view, I find it flys perfectly. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Yeah I also noticed the LOD problem but it really doesn’t affect my overall enjoyment of this plane. I think it’s avionic systems work well without any glaring issues, so are the flight characteristics.

This plane is real rocket ship, I do wonder if the Sim performance actually really represent the real life counterpart.

Been asked before and apparently it is modelled accurately. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

oh so you’re only talking about the external model and not how it flies? Ive never noticed a “noticeable asymmetry” with the model lol.

It’s the only thing I’ve been flying lately. Love the aircraft, and works great for me.

This is the only issue I’ve had with the Longitude, I have screenshots showing that st the default camera distance in external.view you lose a lot of detail and the antennas on top of the fuse disappear which is a bit ridiculous at the default camera distance.

I asked this too after doing 3k+ FPM into the mid 20’s but yea seem to be accurate from what I’ve read.

It works but only in the 2024 version not in the 2020 version

Totally agree. The 2020 version has lights the 2024 version broken
