Documented highlights

Wheels, skis and amphibious floats

The MSFS 2024 manual identifies a Series 300 package with wheeled, ski and amphibious versions. The amphibian adds a panel gear lever and individual wheel-position lights: green for lowered wheels and blue for raised wheels. Its loading and centre-of-gravity limits are treated separately in the guide.

Fuel controls include documented simulation limits

The guide describes main-tank boost pumps, standby pumps and wing-tank transfer controls. It explicitly marks the boost-pump TEST position as not simulated. It also says the intake deflectors move visually while their further effects are not modelled, a useful distinction when exploring the cockpit switches.
