General Information The Learjet Model 35 and Model 36 are a series of American multi-role business jets and military transport aircraft manufactured by Learjet. The aircraft is powered by two Garrett TFE731-2 turbofan engines. Its cabin can be arranged for 6-8 passengers. The longer-range Model 36 has a shortened passenger area to provide more space in the aft fuselage for fuel tanks. The engines are mounted nacelles on the sides of the aft fuselage. The wings are equipped with single-slotted flaps. The wingtip fuel tanks distinguish the design from other aircraft having similar functions. The Model 35A is an upgraded Model 35 with TFE731-2-2B engines and a range of 2,789 miles, with a fuel capacity of 931 US gallons (3,524 L) with refueling accomplished at ground level through each wingtip tank. It was introduced in 1976, replacing the 35. Over 600 35As were built, with a production line that ended in 1993. Simulation Information The Learjet 35A for MSFS 2024 is a complete overhaul of our original MSFS 2020 product. Rather than a simple port, the aircraft was rebuilt from the ground up to take full advantage of the MSFS 2024 platform—introducing new native systems, updated effects, and major new functionality across the entire aircraft. Over the course of roughly ten months, the 2020 release was transformed into a fully native MSFS 2024 experience. This includes all previously released expansion packs, plus a new long-range configuration featuring the Long Tip Tanks modification with a ventral fin for improved stability during extended flights. This version introduces MSFS 2024’s modern system architecture throughout the aircraft, including Modern Electrical system, Hydraulic system, Fuel systems and our own custom Pneumatic system, backed by 179 functional circuit breakers. Environmental and immersion effects have also been significantly expanded, featuring improved exterior icing, new surface rain effects, enhanced windshield rain behavior, bloom effects, and newly developed Boris audio engine sounds. A major focus of the 2024 rebuild is system depth and operational realism across both Career and Free Flight modes. In MSFS 2024 Career Mode, the aircraft fully integrates with the sim’s native wear, maintenance, and persistence systems, including walkaround condition checks and Career-managed aircraft state. Career missions are available only when the aircraft is purchased through the MSFS Marketplace, due to Career-mode integration requirements. For Free Flight, Flysimware provides its own custom failure and reliability system, managed through the aircraft’s tablet interface. This system operates independently of Career mode and includes three selectable failure models—MTBF (time-based), Speed-based, and Scheduled—allowing users to tailor realism and reliability behavior to their preferences. The Learjet 35A also includes an interactive checklist system with multiple levels of complexity. Pilots can choose between simplified, intermediate, or full procedural checklists, making the aircraft approachable for casual users while still supporting detailed, real-world operating procedures for advanced simmers. Day-to-day operation is enhanced through a deeper preflight workflow, including chocks, pitot covers, windshield cover, engine covers, wear-and-tear status checks, and control surface inspections. The aircraft tablet is fully integrated into the default MSFS 2024 tablet environment and provides access to avionics selection, failure system, performance calculators, and live pneumatic and live fuel system pages with real-world fueling logic. Flight handling has been refined using MSFS 2024’s updated flight model options and CFD-based aerodynamic improvements, delivering precise control response and realistic handling across all configurations. Development was supported by two active real-world Learjet 35A pilots and a retired Learjet 35 instructor, ensuring accurate procedures, system behavior, and operational characteristics throughout the aircraft. Because of the aircraft’s depth and systems complexity, the included documentation focuses on system reference and operational information rather than step-by-step training. Users are encouraged to learn the aircraft through video tutorials—both from Flysimware and the community—which are linked on the product page of our website. For additional help, users are invited to join the Flysimware Discord community, where real-world Lear pilots and experienced sim pilots are available to assist with procedures, setup, and custom control bindings.
