After a short, semi-public beta with a small number of customers, Aerobask have officially released their Falcon 8X business jet for X-Plane 12. The long in development ultra long range business jet has been a signature product for the developer for several years now and it is now fully released and available for purchase.

Release the Falcon!

Officially licensed by Dassault Aviation, Aerobask have been working on Falcon 8X for years now. Their initial announcement came prior to the announcement of X-Plane 12 and prior to some of their other aircraft projects including their very well regarded Phenom 300 business jet. Now, the long awaited Falcon 8X is here.

It comes packing a long list of features including a custom recreation of the type’s fly-by-wire PFCS control system, a custom autopilot, FalconEye dual HUD with synthetic vision, EASy avionics suite with a fully custom FMS, VNAV, LNAV, electronic checklist, TCAS II, weather radar, ATC text messaging over Hoppie network and a custom EFB just to name some of the core features. It also has 10 liveries, high res PBR textures, and FMOD sound by Aerobask veteran Daniela Rodriguez Careri.

The jet itself has impressive performance itself with a Mach 0.85 cruise speed, 6,450 nautical miles of range, and three engine performance that ensures long range performance over long oceanic stretches like few other aircraft.

An initial offering to a small number of public members has seen the aircraft get into the hands of a few while the development team worked out the bugs. That has lasted for several weeks now with both public members and select YouTube creators testing the aircraft out. It’s earned a lot of fans already as a result.

Aerobask are charging a premium over some of their other products, no doubt owing the extensive custom systems on the aircraft, and are asking for $86.95 USD for it. It is now available for sale from the X-Plane.org Store.
