A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and configuration
The BW 635RG combines a Rotax 915 iS installation with retractable landing gear. The Orbx model uses single-lever power control for the engine and propeller, with stick controls, elevator trim and flaps. Its GFC 500 provides the documented autopilot functions.

History & design
Between the BW600 and the BW650
Blackwing founder Niklas Anderberg developed the company around a high-performance ultralight concept. The BW600 established the range, followed by the BW635RG, which the manufacturer credits with two FAI speed records. In 2024 the company moved into a new facility and introduced the third-generation BW650. That chronology places the simulated 635RG between two distinct generations; the newer aircraft and its engine should not silently replace the 635RG specifications.

Systems & details
Controls and equipment
Orbx supports both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. The user guide requires the Modern flight model and describes the engine controls, trim, flaps and autopilot.
The 635RG’s specific cockpit reference
Orbx identifies the 635RG’s engine as the Rotax 915 iS and provides a staged approach checklist for its retractable gear and flaps. The guide treats the gear-down indication and flap selection as separate checks, rather than presenting the aircraft as a fixed-gear ultralight. Its configuration is the reference for this simulation; the manufacturer’s later BW650 development should not replace the engine, equipment or operating references documented for the 635RG.
