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.

Choose the correct manual and navigator
The original release has its own v1.4 manual, distinct from the native-2024 product. Its opening pages warn that some controls require the supplied binding documentation and that the TDS GTN750Xi option is not available on Xbox. The cockpit index covers the autopilot, fuel controls, engine start, anti-ice equipment and EFB.

Included configurations and Career access
The native release includes the earlier expansion packs and a long-tip-tank configuration with a ventral fin. Flysimware states that Career missions require a Marketplace purchase. These purchase and configuration distinctions are specific to the native release and should not be inferred for the original 2020 package.
Native-2024 official product description
Learjet 35 / 36
The Learjet 35 and longer-range 36 developed the earlier Learjet around Garrett TFE731 turbofans. Rear-mounted engines, a swept wing and prominent tip tanks formed the family outline. The 35A improved the Model 35; the 36 exchanged some passenger accommodation for additional fuel.
Flysimware represents the Learjet 35A in separate original MSFS and native MSFS 2024 releases.
