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.

Cabin systems add more to the flight
The developer lists working circuit breakers, environmental controls and inflatable door-seal sounds, with a door-ajar warning. Side-sticks can be hidden.
Product description; implementation claims, not runtime qualification
Velocity XL
Velocity developed the XL from its smaller SE kit aircraft. The enlarged design uses a canard ahead of the main wing and a rear-mounted pusher propeller. Black Square documents the equipment and systems of its simulator interpretation separately from the real-aircraft specifications.

Check the stated GTN limitation
The default configuration uses Laminar’s GNS530 and a custom GTX330. RealityXP GTN750 support is explicitly described as awaiting X-Plane 12 testing and potentially needing an update.
