Documented highlights

A walkaround and persistent wear in MSFS

Just Flight’s MSFS Tomahawk is based on research with G-BNKH at Goodwood. The interactive exterior includes tyre-pressure and fuel-condition checks, while wear affects more than fifteen components and persists between flights. The EFB can repair or randomise the aircraft’s condition as well as select starting states.

Choose the cockpit equipment and inspect the systems

The MSFS package lists GNS 430/530 equipment, optional separately supplied GTN integrations, Navigraph charts and SimBrief support. Its documented fuel and electrical models include working breakers, carburettor heat and primer effects, with selectable failures such as plug fouling and vapour lock. Automatic tank switching is offered as a convenience option.

The X-Plane 11 version exposes engine condition

The Just Flight/Thranda edition provides an engine popup showing fuel imbalance, pressures, temperatures, battery charge and plug-fouling or vapour-lock state. Its electrical breakers use X-Plane’s failure logic. Interactive checklists, saved panel state and a weight-and-balance manager accompany the conventional radio cockpit.
