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.
Cessna CitationJet 525
Cessna launched the CitationJet in 1989 and flew the Model 525 prototype in April 1991. Deliveries followed in 1993. The design combined part of the earlier Citation fuselage lineage with a new wing and T-tail, powered by two Williams FJ44 engines. Later CJ and M2 versions belong to the wider family, with distinct specifications.
Citation CJ1 flight report, August 2000. CJ1 reference figures, not a blanket specification for every Model 525.
Chilton D.W.1A
The Chilton D.W.1 line grew from a light sport-aircraft design by former de Havilland Technical School students Andrew Dalrymple and Reggie Ward. A present-day operator of an original D.W.1 describes its wooden, low-wing airframe and open cockpit. The selected source does not identify the D.W.1A engine installation.
G-AFGI as described by its operating club; dimensions are not an assertion about every replica.
Cicaré 8
The Cicaré 8 places its two occupants side by side in an enclosed cabin. Cicaré describes a light helicopter with a semi-rigid main rotor and alternative engine installations, continuing the company’s line of compact helicopters.
VSKYLABS offers separate native X-Plane 11 and 12 editions in its Test-Pilot series. Its simulator product is documented separately from the manufacturer’s real-aircraft specifications.

The Entegra edition has its own avionics
TorqueSim’s Entegra SR20 includes custom Avidyne R8 primary and multifunction displays, an S-TEC 55X autopilot and selectable GPS stacks. Its pages cover terrain, route progress, nearby airports, checklists and engine information. The developer explicitly lists X-Plane 12 support.

Wear and condition remain part of ownership
The package describes a Continental IO-360-ES engine model, individual electrical buses and breakers, and fuel behaviour that includes sloshing and vapour formation. Maintenance and wear cover components such as tyres, brakes and the propeller. Persistent state means returning to an aircraft whose condition reflects earlier sessions.

The G1000 alternative represents an earlier engine generation
TorqueSim’s G1000 SR20 also specifies the 200 hp Continental IO-360-ES. Its Perspective-style enhancements include synthetic vision, custom engine pages, lean assistance, checklists and a fuel-calculator interface. This documented engine choice distinguishes the package from the later Lycoming-powered G6 described in Southwick’s flight report.

Cirrus SR20
The SR20 received certification in 1998 and entered production the following year. It established Cirrus's certified-aircraft line before the larger-engined SR22. Seating and cockpit equipment evolved across versions. The simulator products include Entegra and G1000 flight decks, identified separately.
Cirrus SR22
The SR22 entered production in 2001 as a more powerful development of Cirrus's SR20. A low wing, fixed tricycle gear and side-yoke controls define the basic layout. The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System is a prominent part of the aircraft's design.
The SR22 family spans normally aspirated and turbocharged versions as well as different panel generations. The side controls use mechanical connections. Simulator implementations range from bundled aircraft to detailed add-ons with their own engine, maintenance and avionics models.

Colomban Cri-Cri
The Cri-Cri began as Michel Colomban’s compact twin-engine aircraft project in 1971, with the first flight recorded in the ATSimulations manual on 19 July 1973. It packages one pilot, a short-span wing and two engines into an airframe whose scale is its defining visual feature. The original piston aircraft and later jet or float renditions belong to different configuration scopes.

Couzinet 71 Arc-en-Ciel
The Couzinet 71 Arc-en-Ciel has three piston engines and fixed tailwheel landing gear. Restauravia describes its flight model as approximate, with historical questions still unresolved. The cockpit checklist includes pitch trim; two flight-controller-labelled instruments display turn and slip.

Curtiss C-46 Commando
The C-46 grew from Curtiss's CW-20 airliner design into a military transport. Its broad fuselage gave it substantial cargo capacity, while two large radial engines supplied the power. It worked alongside the C-47 but was a larger aircraft with a different airframe and systems.
The Commando continued into civilian freight operations after the war. Its period flight deck includes systems that predate modern route-following automation; the simulator manual's Sperry Gyropilot is best understood in that historical context.

Curtiss P-36/H75 Hawk
Restauravia represents the P-36/H75 with retractable landing gear and flap settings of 15, 30 and 45 degrees. Its MSFS version 2 revises flight and engine parameters. The developer retains documented limitations for inactive or mispositioned cockpit controls.
