Meet Cirrus SR22
The SR22 entered production in 2001 as a more powerful development of Cirrus's SR20. A low wing, fixed tricycle gear and side-yoke controls define the basic layout. The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System is a prominent part of the aircraft's design.
The SR22 family spans normally aspirated and turbocharged versions as well as different panel generations. Its side controls are mechanically connected rather than evidence of airliner-style fly-by-wire. Simulator implementations range from bundled aircraft to detailed add-ons with their own engine, maintenance and avionics models.

Side controls with conventional trim
The Laminar guide identifies the represented aircraft as an SR22T and describes its side controls, pitch-trim indication and relief of sustained fore-and-aft pressure. The side-control layout is not evidence of an airliner-style fly-by-wire system.

Panel generation and simulator version matter
TorqueSim's SR22 history records changes to trim authority and autopilot/control behaviour. Version 2.1 moved the G1000 aircraft to the X-Plane 12.1 X1000 and excludes older simulator versions; 2.1.1 removed the Gizmo dependency. The developer also distinguishes G1000 and Entegra products, so both the panel and release belong in a useful aircraft description.
