Other new "out of the box" aircraft included a revised Cessna with a photorealistic instrument panel and updated flight model. The primary rationale for updating the was Cessna 's return to manufacturing that model in the late s.
The Learjet Model 45 business jet was also included, replacing the aging Learjet 35 from earlier versions. The Dynamic Scenery models were also vastly improved.
One of the most noticeable improvements in this version was the ability to have independent panels and sounds for every aircraft.

After the installation, I quickly changed my joystick drivers, realism, window and spot plane preferences the way I like them.
It was all so easy. The menus were similar to other FS version, and worked quicker than in FS6. After setting up everything the way I like it I was ready to fly.
I didn't have a 3D card at the time I first installed FS98 and on my P with 48 meg of ram I was surprised how good the frame rate was in x mode. At Meigs in Very Dense, I was getting out the cockpit about an I was afraid it would be worse. I enjoyed the newer effects of having "image smoothing" turned on.
It made the sparkly grass textures blurrier and better looking from up high. I am happy to say the flight model is accurate. I don't know if it's better than the FS6 , but it flies just fine.
If you're fully loaded with fuel, don't expect more than a fpm climb rate to hold a climbing speed of M. If you're lightly loaded, a healthier climb rate of fpm can be held up to the FL level.
You must realize in flying a jet airliner performance will be poor at heavy weight. I have seen sim pilots complaining they are not able to cruise fast or high when fully loaded. That's true. But I have flown the "" at FL and M. Nurse it up to altitude, and you'll get what you expect out of it. That's what they do in real life. However, if at max weight plan a cruise altitude of FL or so until you lighten yourself up a bit.
The sounds on the are better than FS6, and the reverse thrust sounds are more robust. The power of the reversers is stronger too. You won't need much braking action to stop. Realize too, that in real life, airline pilots seldom use full reverse as it scares passengers and throws them out of their seats. So, in FS98 use just partial reverse unless you want to really stop fast! The instrument panel is worse in x than the FS6 panel was.
Worse in the sense that the autopilot panel is done in a tiny font and is nearly impossible to read. The good thing about FS98 is you can "drag" and resize the panels to your liking, so there is a cure for tiny lettering. The instrumentation has been improved and all needles run very smoothly. Airline pilots will be happy that FS98 has an autothrottle and autospoilers.
Now, you can take long unmonitored trips without a 3rd party add-on. It took me some time configuring my control sensitivities to my liking, but once I did I must say I am very pleased with the flight quality of the Another hint on steadier Lear flying is to take off with your trim well down below the neutral line. At least several marks below the middle. This way your nose up tendency will be reduced greatly and the takeoff climb will be steady.
Reducing power immediately after takeoff will keep your plane under control and keep you from busting the kt speed limit below 10, feet. The Learjet proved to me its flight model is accurate. I have flown as high as FL around M. The visual model of the LR45 isn't bad. I especially like the visible ailerons, rudder and flaps that move on the exterior of the airplane. The animation for the landing gear is nicely done too. The sounds of the turbofan engines is fabulous.
You'll get a completely different set of sounds when watching from the outside. FS98's use of several individual sound files for each aircraft makes for one of the best features of FS The instrument panel on the Learjet is a disappointment. It is tiny and many details on the real plane were left out. However it is flyable none the less.
