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.
Hiller UH-12B
The UH-12 developed from Hiller's Model 360. Nemeth's aircraft background records its first flight in 1948 and its subsequent military and civilian utility roles. The piston-powered family also served as the H-23 Raven, with the B model used prominently in training.
Nemeth represents the UH-12B for MSFS 2020 and 2024. Its published product description establishes the represented light-helicopter configuration without a detailed account of RotorMatic control forces.

Honda HA-420 HondaJet
The HondaJet mounts its engines above the main wing. Honda's design account traces that arrangement to Michimasa Fujino's work in 1997, allowing the cabin to avoid the rear-fuselage engine installation used on many small business jets.
FlightFX's HJet represents the HA-420 with a custom G3000, VNAV, cruise-speed control and automated hydraulics. HJet24 is a separate native MSFS 2024 rebuild with Working Title integration and revised automation.

Hughes H-4 Hercules
The H-4 Hercules was conceived as a wartime transatlantic transport and completed after the war. Eight engines and an immense wing surrounded its flying-boat hull. The prototype made one brief flight on 2 November 1947 and never entered operational transport service.
The familiar Spruce Goose nickname conceals a construction detail: birch was a major material in the wooden airframe. The simulator represents this single experimental aircraft.

The two supplied aircraft have different pilot positions
Taog’s manual places the command seat on the right in the military OH-6A and on the left in the civilian H500C. It describes the four-bladed rotor and differing engine installations. These are earlier family configurations than the later MD500E described in several pilot accounts.
