Not even a week after we spoke with Skyward Simulations to learn more about what it was like to develop the Citation Sovereign+ for MSFS 2024, the business jet is now ready to be part of everyone’s hangar.
The Citation Sovereign+ occupies a unique space in the super-midsize business jet category. It offers an exceptional range (3000+ nm/5,500+ km), cruises at Mach 0.8, and seats up to 12 all while operating comfortably out of short 3,500 ft (1066m) runways.
According to Skyward, this highly detailed simulation of the Citation Sovereign+ has been developed with a strong emphasis on system fidelity, flight model accuracy, engine performance, and real-world behavior.
From simulating dual-FADEC channel availability based on electrical states and other factors to an incredibly high-fidelity recreation of a Garmin CPDLC and ACARS feature set, countless hours have been poured into the many systems across the Sovereign+.
Skyward Simulations C680 Sovereign+ Features and Pricing
The Skyward Simulations C680 Sovereign+ packs a comprehensive feature list including sounds by Boris Audioworks:
- Expert Vetting: Developed using real-world references and tested by a group of six CE-680 pilots and technicians, along with over a dozen additional jet pilots.
- High-Fidelity Flight Model: Tuned lift and drag coefficients for accurate climb, cruise, and descent performance.
- Garmin G5000 Suite: Fully custom PFD, MFD, and GTC plugins with integrated system synoptics.
- Advanced Electrical Architecture: Simulates nearly 60 buses, 600 circuits, and PCB-level logic (most advanced features exclusive to MSFS 2024).
- Deep FADEC Simulation: Dual-channel FADEC commanding accurate thrust modes (TO, MCT, CRU, T/R, APR) and realistic engine relationships (N1/N2/ITT).
- Complex Logistics: High-fidelity modeling of hydraulic, fuel (crossfeed/boost pumps), and bleed air systems built to OEM specifications.
- Logic-Driven CAS: Crew Alerting System messages driven by real-time data bus architecture and electrical states.
- Premium Visuals: Highly detailed exterior/interior models with interactive panels, switches, and refined lighting.
- Landing Gear Physics: Includes hydraulic extension, gravity-assisted deployment, and a pneumatic blowdown system for emergencies.
- Pro-Grade Datalink: Features platform-agnostic CPDLC and ACARS (PC only), D-ATIS, and Text NOTAMs.
- Comprehensive EFB: Includes SimBrief/Navigraph integration, weight and balance management, and over 300 real-world checklists.
