This aircraft comes in three versions, Air Observation Post, General Liaison, and floatplane.
A reprise of the type we first released for FSX, this package is pure MSFS. Thanks to MSFS's more advanced handling of aerodynamics, and the L-4's simple but effective instrumentation, you'll have to keep a sharp eye on airspeed and develop a feel for what the aircraft is doing by also keeping your eyes outside the cockpit. This is what was called "flying by the seat of your pants", and is a true component of good piloting skills.
You'll also need to 'hand prop' the L-4 to start the engine.
With great visibility and fully opening doors, you'll be able to enjoy the amazing MSFS world scenery in a way only the L-4 can provide, and understand why historically this aircraft was so prized in WWII. Not to mention the challenge of being able to land almost anywhere, once you know the aircraft well.
History:
The history of the L-4 is best summed up by Ken Wakefield, author of "The Fighting Grasshoppers" and "Lightplanes at War", who graciously contributed the following overview of this aircraft:
"The Piper L-4 Grasshopper of WW2 was the military version of the highly popular pre-war J3 Cub, by which name it was more widely known to service personnel. Of the 5,500 L-4 variants produced between 1942 and 1945, some went to liaison squadrons and of the USAAF, but the vast majority went to US Army Ground Forces, for use as Air Observation Posts (Air OPs) with the Field Artillery. In both air and ground forces, the L-4 was also used as a flying Jeep, among other things carrying priority mail and personnel between HQs and command posts. Its Continental engine produced only 65hp, yet the L-4's excellent short field performance enabled it to operate from the smallest of improvised airstrips, including roads, adjacent to command posts.
Unlike most other combat aircraft, the L-4 was un-armed and un-armoured. It was one of the smallest aircraft of WW2 and, with a cruising speed of only 75 mph, it was the slowest. Nevertheless, it has been claimed that a single L-4, directing the firepower of an entire Division, could bring a greater weight of explosives to bear on a target then any other aircraft of that period. With the exception of the atomic bomb carrying B-29 Superfortress, no other single aircraft had the destructive capability of the diminutive L-4. It was most widely used in Europe, where more than 2,700 served with the Field Artillery, and of these nearly 900 were lost through enemy action or in accidents. Of those that survived the war, about 150 were shipped back to the US, most of the remainder eventually being sold to civilian purchasers in Britain, France, Switzerland, Denmark and elsewhere in Europe. More than 60 years on many of these are still flying with, in recent years, an increasing number being restored to their original military configuration and markings. A truly remarkable 'warbird', long to be remembered. "

The Lancair Legacy for MSFS 2024 has been developed to bring this fast, highly customized aircraft into the simulator with multiple configurations, realistic handling, and a deeper ownership experience. The package includes the standard Lancair Legacy glass cockpit, an analog panel version, and the award-winning StarHawk Legacy, each offered in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated configurations.
This project was created in collaboration with 3DR, who produced an amazing exterior and interior model with photorealistic textures. We also worked directly with the owner of STARHAWK, a Lancair Legacy celebrated for its extensive refinements, earning EAA Grand Champion honors as well as the prestigious Stan Dzik Memorial Award for Outstanding Design Contribution. STARHAWK’s builder provided extensive design information, 3D scans, photos, videos, sound recordings, performance analyses, and direct participation in flight dynamics and handling development. This close involvement, along with additional scanning by Flysimware, allowed us to capture the aircraft with exceptional accuracy, from exterior details to cockpit switches, knobs, controls, and system behavior.
The sound package was developed with SimAcoustics, using recordings from a real Lancair Legacy to create a highly accurate engine sound experience. From startup to cruise power, the goal was to capture the unique character of the aircraft and bring the user closer to the real machine.
A major part of this product is our new TrueSim technology, designed to give us deeper control over how the aircraft behaves beyond the default simulator systems. TrueSim allows us to model engine behavior, turbocharged mixture logic, fuel system behavior, failures, maintenance, and wear-and-tear in a more realistic way, so the aircraft does not always behave as if every component is perfectly healthy. For users who prefer a simpler experience, these realism features can be adjusted or disabled.
The turbocharged variants include custom mixture and supercharger-style logic designed to create more realistic high-altitude operation. This helps the aircraft respond more naturally as altitude, RPM, and power settings change, including the need to properly manage and lean the mixture during high-altitude flight.
The aircraft tablet is integrated into the default MSFS 2024 EFB environment and includes several pages for aircraft setup, failures, maintenance, and system management. Users can manage the aircraft’s condition, service wear items, wash dirt and debris from the exterior, service tire-related conditions, and handle failure options directly through the tablet. The included fuel page also allows fueling from any airport location, giving users more flexibility than the default simulator fueling system.
Ground service behavior has also been expanded beyond simple default simulator functions. Fuel truck and GPU-related ground support are handled with custom logic, helping the aircraft feel more alive while parked, serviced, or prepared for flight.
The Legacy also uses modern MSFS 2024 systems, including modern fuel, hydraulic, and electrical systems built to closely match the real aircraft. The electrical system includes real-world circuits, fuses, and circuit breakers depending on the selected variant, with glass panel versions using fuses and analog panel versions using circuit breakers. Glass panel variants also include fuse drawer behavior, with failed fuses able to illuminate for easier troubleshooting. These systems are designed around the real aircraft layout rather than simplified default behavior.
The real Lancair Legacy uses free-castering nosewheel steering, which requires differential braking and proper rudder pedal hardware for realistic ground handling. To make the aircraft enjoyable for more users, we are also including steering-enabled variants for pilots who do not have toe brakes or prefer a simpler ground handling setup. This allows users to choose the level of realism that best matches their hardware and flying style.
To improve compatibility with a wide range of flight simulation hardware, the aircraft also includes Flysimware’s integrated hardware binding interface using the default in games panel. This system allows users to assign custom aircraft controls and modern MSFS 2024 systems directly to their hardware without requiring third-party LVAR binding utilities. It also restores access to custom functions that are not available through the simulator’s default control assignments, providing a more complete hardware integration experience.

AIRCRAFT HISTORY
The Citation Latitude is an advanced, twin-engine, mid-size business jet developed and manufactured by American aviation company Cessna. Crewed by two, it can accommodate up to nine passengers, although typical configurations seat up to eight in its main cabin. A best-selling member of the vaunted Citation family, the Citation Latitude took its maiden flight on February 18, 2014, and Cessna began deliveries in August of 2015.
Engineers at Cessna based the Citation Latitude on their highly successful Cessna Model 680 Sovereign. The Model 680 took its maiden flight in February of 2002 and quickly established itself as a highly versatile offering due to its comfortable cabin, speed, long range, and exceptional short-field performance. To create the Citation Latitude, engineers at Cessna kept the Model 680 wing, engines, and empennage, and upgraded the fuselage. The Citation Latitude fuselage has a flat floor and is wider and taller than that of the Model 680, boasting stand-up room (6 feet from floor to ceiling).
The Cessna Citation Latitude features a low-mounted main wing with a swept leading edge and “swooplets,” small winglets for the mitigation of drag-inducing vortices. It has a cruciform empennage and a retractable tricycle undercarriage. Its cockpit has the Garmin G5000 avionics suite, comprising three 14-inch color LCD displays and four touchscreen controllers. The system includes Garmin Synthetic Vision, advanced diagnostics, graphical weather, dual Garmin communication / navigation units, and integrated autothrottles.
The aircraft measures 62 feet, 3 inches in length, stands 20 feet, 11 inches in height, and has a wingspan of 72 feet, 4 inches. It is powered by two fuselage-mounted Pratt and Whitney Canada PW306D1 turbofan engines, each of which generates 5,907 pounds of thrust. It has a maximum range of 3,100 miles, a service ceiling of 45,000 feet above sea level, and a maximum climb rate of 2,313 feet per minute. It cruises at 423 miles per hour and has a maximum speed of 513 miles per hour.
