XP 20 Series v1

A Classic Addon Available for Download for a Limited Time

Over the years, some of our products have become legacy due to the constant evolution of the simulation platforms or because they are being replaced by better, up-to-date products with much more features. By popular demand and for a limited time, we are now please to offer these products a very special price.

Please note that the 20 Series Business Jets v1 addon is a legacy product for which we can no longer offer technical support. It is offered to collectors as is. For an upgraded Learjet experience, please consider our GLJ Model 25 SE v3.0 for Prepar3D®, FSX and FSX Steam®.

Flying Dreams Are Made of This!

The classic 20 Series aircraft, nicknamed “fighters in civilian clothing” because of their sleek design and amazing performance, were the first true executive jets. Their capabilities earn them a place among the extreme aircraft, setting record after record while allowing shirt-sleeve comfort in their plush cabins.

The Xtreme Prototypes 20 Series addon contains seven variations of the legendary Models 24, 25 and 28. Each highly detailed exterior 3D model features over 500 parts and 40 animations. The fully functional virtual cockpit contains over 800 parts and more than 200 back and front-lit 3D gauges, lights, switches and flight instruments.

A custom flight model was designed to simulate the performance of a high-powered civilian jet aircraft in the simulator. The package also includes custom visual effects and sounds, multiple camera views and a detailed, 84-page flight manual.

Tony Radmilocich, PC Pilot Magazine:
"If you love hands-on, high adrenaline flying, the early Learjets should be your cup of tea. Xtreme Prototype's 24/25/28 models capture the essence of what it is like to pilot one of these little "rocket ships" in corporate jet guise."

Emmanuel Blanchard, Micro Simulateur Magazine:
"The numerous aircraft systems are realistic and plunge the virtual pilot in a pleasant environment of before the electronic era. Pleasant to control, offering feelings rarely encountered while flying a business aircraft, the 20 Series deserves the interest of the virtual pilots."

William Werrlein, FlightSim.com:
"For those of us who wonder how the basic jet feels I would recommend this aircraft (20 Series). I really do think that Xtreme Prototypes has done a great job in their level of detail on the exterior and interior, and the flight dynamics of the aircraft. As for the manual I must give a round of applause for the developer."

Proflig8tor, Avsim.com:
"Xtreme Prototypes has produced a most pleasing add-on Lear 20 Series jet. The design is a compromise that will be easy for new users to enjoy and has sufficient detail that more experienced users will not find it boring, or toy like. The flight model is good, with accurate roll and pitch response for the 20 Series Learjet. The Xtreme Protoypes Lear 20 Series is a lot of fun to fly."

PC Aviator (A Current Best-Of-The-Best List For Flight Sim Pilots):
"If there's a company that has impressed the heck out of us with their approach to quality and professionalism, it's Xtreme Prototypes out of Canada. They are nothing short of a world class act... Their latest addon emulates several models of the Gates Learjet 20 Series and is a must have addon to your hangar."

Joe Zerilli, 20 Series fan and ex-pilot:
"I must say, I simply love your 20 Series Lear collection. Truly a masterpiece series. I have real world experience with the 25D, and still have all the training manuals and documentation on the aircraft."

Mike Garner, 20 Series fan:
"Just curious, are there plans to release a paint kit for the Lear 20 Series Package. Absolutely love the package, the only thing I use now."
