FOR AIRCRAFT DEVELOPERS
Research aircraft and systems
Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.
Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

Flight Design CTSL
Flight Design developed the CT series in Germany around lightweight recreational and touring use. Fixed tricycle landing gear and a high wing make the basic configuration straightforward, while the rounded composite fuselage gives it a distinctive appearance.
CT2K, CTSW, CTLS and CTSL refer to developments within the family. Their dimensions and equipment are not interchangeable. The MSFS aircraft represents the CTSL, with its package features described separately from the broader CT-family history.

Flying Fries Quasar
The Quasar is Flying Fries' futuristic simulator design. Its creator describes developing the idea from 2023, with the aircraft's design and features changing during the project. K.A.R.A. voice assistance, interactive checklists and cockpit cautions support its simulated systems.
The aircraft has no flaps. Flap bindings instead arm F.A.C.T., while the AFCS shapes and stabilises the pitch and roll controls and operates their trims. Direct mode disables that shaping.
