| Documented highlights | The manual identifies its chosen engine and fuel installationThe simulated installation uses the twin-blower engine arrangement described in the manual. Additional cabin ferry-fuel tanks are excluded. These choices define this package’s represented configuration; the many civil and military aircraft in historical accounts should not all be assumed to share it. Cockpit shortcuts prepare the aircraft and reveal its controlsThe overhead panel provides Quick Start, Cold Dark Start and Ground Power selections. Clicking the red warning panel toggles the yokes. The manual separately labels the jump control for parachutists on the lead ship, keeping its purpose distinct from general cockpit setup. | The original MSFS 2020 releaseFamous Flyer 09 was released as a combined C-47D and Waco CG-4A package in June 2024. The C-47D has U.S. Navy and fictional Olive Drab “M5” liveries. |
