A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and simulator background
The Il-18D described in Nemeth's technical reference uses four AI-20 turboprops, retractable landing gear and electric flaps. Its elevator control is mechanically linked with a loading spring; the aileron runs combine rods and cables.

Sections 2.1.5–2.1.7 describe rigid mechanical elevator controls with a loading spring and aileron runs using rods and cables. Elevator trim acts through a mechanical tab, and the right aileron has electric trim. The four-engine propulsion installation is separate from those primary-control mechanisms.

The simulation is released for MSFS 2024. The technical PDF describes trim and an AP-6E autopilot, while a separate cockpit document identifies the instrument and control layout.

History & design
How the Il-18 family evolved
The Il-18 developed through A, B, V, E and D versions as the cabin, structure and onboard systems changed. Nemeth describes the early A as an 80-seat aircraft, followed by the strengthened B and later rearrangements for greater capacity. The D took the family toward longer non-stop sectors through increased fuel capacity. Its add-on represents a late, upgraded D, so descriptions of early passenger layouts or fuel systems should not be treated as universal across the family.
