The SU95X systems project

Headwind describes SU95X as a maintained project derived from FlyByWire systems. That development lineage describes the simulator implementation, whose flight deck and systems remain documented by Headwind.

The documented SU95 package

The official aircraft release API lists SU95 assets with v0.6.1 in December 2024. Later v0.8.1 assets for A339 identify the A330 project, so they are kept separate from the Superjet's release history.
