A Casual Users Guide to the new Cessna CJ4 in MSFS

In this video, I'm hoping to help casual Microsoft Flight Simulator players get acquainted with the new Cessna Citation CJ4 avionics update. It's a long video, but covers a lot of the changes that were made to ease the frustration many of us felt. My goal isn't to be 100% accurate, but to help those that just want to enjoy leisurely flights without pulling out all the charts and following all the restrictions. Not everything covered is going to be required usage, but included so you can pick your own level of realism from the info.

Sorry about the video quality on this one. I goofed on the screen capture and it was easier to make this one better than to re-record everything. This video isn't about the looks anyway. :)
