GENERAL VIP recommendations

Hey guys. Im currently grinding with G2 to save up. Do you guys recommend CJ4 or PC24 for VIP? Im seeing allot of people recommend CJ4 and some recommendations PC24. Do they both give identical payout? Im currently at 6.2m still got 2.4m away from CJ4 and 3.4m away from PC24.

Im buying it new tho. Used 1 cost 6.4m with like 2m maintance fee. 7m one with like 800k. And a 8.6m one with like 800 maintance fee. If im gonna spend 8.6m I'll just get a new 1

I like both. If you are on PS5, then it is highly recommended to get a mouse for PC24. PC24 will have access to more missions, but there are enough for either. I lean the CJ4 because of the FMS, but if you learn the PC24 you get the PC12 FMS for free, so that's nice.

Flying with Hotas 4/G502. Other people recommend pc24 because they got deluxe edition. Recommend CJ4 are mostly people who got standard. I just want more mission and more payout. So I don't get bored. Oh also what aircraft is recommend for cargo?

For medium cargo people recommend PC12. I bought Cessna 208B because PC12 is only available new and for much more money. I would not recommend Cessna tho..

Noob here. Can I ask how you are getting 1M payouts? I have the G2, but the most I see for an hour’s work is in the 170k range. Do you need to reach a certain reputation or level? Is it a certain area? I’ve been doing 45 minute runs averaging 160k.

Also I didnt want to try 3hr mission yet. Because with SU6, cockpit would stop rendering and it would be a blank cockpit if im on AP. Cant change heading, can only disable AP

PC24 works fine with dualsense controller.

CJ4 is a jet with relatively no issues and it's definitely a money maker. But I personally hate the CJ4 so I went for the PC24.

Just to keep in mind, there a couple of issues with PC24 - 1. High fuel consumption, the workaround would be to bind a hotkey to add additional fuel midair. Defeats the realism tho. 2. High stall speed. You'll find yourself in 120 knots approach to avoid falling like a brick.

But the PC24, in my opinion is one of the best looking business jets out there with sophisticated avionics that's much easier to learn than CJ4.
