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.
Piper PA-38 Tomahawk · Just Flight · X-Plane 11
The X-Plane 11 version exposes engine condition
The Just Flight/Thranda edition provides an engine popup showing fuel imbalance, pressures, temperatures, battery charge and plug-fouling or vapour-lock state. Its electrical breakers use X-Plane’s failure logic. Interactive checklists, saved panel state and a weight-and-balance manager accompany the conventional radio cockpit.

Pipistrel Panthera · Aerobask · X-Plane 11
A custom Dynon and GTN cockpit for XP11
Aerobask’s Panthera uses custom Dynon SkyView and Garmin 750/650 instruments with touch and mouse-scroll interaction. The listing targets X-Plane 11, with aircraft, SkyView and GTN manuals included. Its panel therefore differs from the Garmin installation in the later real-aircraft demonstration described by Skies.

Set the load and cabin before the flight
A popup menu handles options, fuel and weight, including passengers and luggage. The developer describes interiors tied to the selected livery, windshield rain effects and an FMOD environment built using real Lycoming engine recordings. Switches, doors and other cockpit interactions have their own sounds.
