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.

Epic E1000 G1000 · Aerobask · X-Plane 12

Interface options support different simulator setups

Aerobask provides optional mouse, scrollwheel and keyboard input aids for its G1000 installation, plus detachable displays. An AviTab tablet and separate options window expose preferences. Fuel, payload and settings are saved between flights, while the FMOD sound environment includes recordings from a real PT6 engine.

Check the represented cockpit before comparing generations

The developer lists a GFC700-equipped G1000 implementation. Its published feature list does not establish the later AX autothrottle or Autoland features described in the real-aircraft accounts. The source also identifies configurable circuit-breaker reliability, emergency oxygen and simulated engine-start behaviour.

Epic E1000 G1000 · Aerobask · X-Plane 12

A G1000 cockpit with turboprop-specific systems

The E1000 uses Laminar's GFC700 and G1000 as a base, with custom PT6 engine displays and an EIS500 standby instrument. Aerobask also documents de-icing systems and circuit breakers. These additions form Aerobask's E1000-specific cockpit.

Epic E1000

Epic developed the E1000 from its earlier kit-aircraft work into a certificated production aircraft. The low-wing composite airframe combines a compact cabin with a substantial nose-mounted turboprop. Later GX developments brought further equipment changes.

Aerobask's X-Plane version pairs the aircraft with a G1000-based flight deck and developer-specific engine indications and systems. The photograph depicts an E1000 GX. The add-on documentation identifies its simulated equipment.

Epic Victory · Aerobask · X-Plane 12

Aerobask’s Victory has a specific engine and cockpit

The XP12 package uses a PW617F engine, rather than the Williams engine in the 2007 first-flight report. Aerobask combines Laminar G1000 displays with optional custom engine monitoring, synthetic vision and touch input. Its GFC700 includes a custom CSC mode described as a FADEC-based autothrottle.

Explore the systems through the cockpit and tablet

The published feature list includes pressurisation, oxygen, configurable circuit-breaker reliability and custom engine failure. A GCU477 keypad offers optional physical-keyboard capture, with separate popups for several instruments. The AviTab tablet supplies another interface, and both 4K and lower-resolution liveries are offered.

Erickson S-64F Aircrane ↗Research-based aircraft background

Erickson S-64F Aircrane

The S-64 is the civilian relative of the military CH-54 Tarhe. Its narrow fuselage and tall undercarriage leave space below for a suspended load, making the lifting role visible in the airframe itself. Two turbine engines power the large main rotor.

Erickson's Air-Crane developments have become associated with construction, logging and firefighting. A tank-equipped firefighting aircraft and a crane carrying an external load use the same basic idea in different ways. The simulator includes mission equipment for its represented roles.

Evektor EV-97 Eurostar

The EV-97 Eurostar is an all-metal, low-wing microlight with steerable tricycle landing gear. The product background describes non-aerobatic VFR flying and Rotax 912 UL, optional 912 ULS and Jabiru 2200 installations within the family.

ISW represents the Eurostar in one named product. Its seller documents MSFS 2020 and 2024 support and announced sale on 2 October 2026; the family engine alternatives do not establish three included engine variants.

Extra 330LT ↗Research-based aircraft background

Extra 330LT

The Extra 300 brought a powerful piston engine, a compact fuselage and a competition-oriented wing together in a modern aerobatic aircraft. The family includes two-seat and single-seat developments with different arrangements and intended uses.

The Extra 330LT is a later touring-oriented member of the broader Extra line. Photographs and specifications identify their model, including the earlier 300L. The simulator documentation describes the 330LT's modelled equipment.
