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.

Pitch and roll mechanisms
The manual's control schematic shows a hydraulic aileron servo with an artificial-feel spring and electrical trim actuator. Pitch trim and roll artificial-feel neutral adjustment are separate from rudder trim. The A, A-MLU and PAN configurations also carry different tank and loadout arrangements.

The A-MLU addition
The release history adds a separate A-MLU aircraft and corrects its engine and fuel configuration. PAN smoke colours and PAN-painted A liveries remain different presentation choices from the PAN aircraft's tank and aerodynamic configuration.

Aermacchi MB-339
Aermacchi developed the MB-339 during the 1970s to replace the Italian Air Force's MB-326. The new trainer retained a design relationship to that aircraft. A single jet engine, retractable landing gear and wing flaps form its basic configuration.
IndiaFoxtEcho's documentation separates the A, A-MLU and PAN versions. Tip-tank and loadout arrangements differ, while PAN uses combined smoke/fuel tanks. The control schematic identifies a hydraulic aileron servo, artificial-feel spring and electrical trim actuator.

Aero Commander 500S Shrike Commander
Ted Smith’s Aero Commander line began with the piston-powered Model 520 in 1952. Twin Commander’s model history identifies the 500S Shrike as the final piston version produced, with the last aircraft completed in 1979. Bob Hoover’s aerial demonstrations gave the model a second public identity beyond its corporate-transport role.

Aero Commander 690B Turbo Commander
The 690B belongs to the turbine-powered Twin Commander series. The type holder’s history traces that branch to the 680T, which paired a pressurized airframe with TPE331 engines. The subsequent 690 models retained a separate identity from the piston Shrike and from the later JetProp Commander line.
AC690B type-owner reference data; individual serial-number documents take precedence.
Aero Designs Mini-IMP
The Mini-IMP puts its single occupant ahead of a pusher propeller and an inverted V-tail. The designer’s cockpit description places the pilot in a reclining seat under a canopy, with mechanical rods carrying the control inputs to a mixer and cables continuing aft. Its unusual outline comes from packaging the pilot, engine and tail around a compact single-seat aircraft.
The tail surfaces combine rudder and elevator functions. Pitch trim changes the tail’s incidence rather than moving an elevator trim tab. The wing-camber adjustment also participates in the design’s trim arrangement.
Mini-IMP company prototype gear installation; homebuilt equipment may differ.
Aero L-29 Delfín
The Aero L-29 Delfín is a Czechoslovak military jet trainer that first flew in 1959.

Aero Vodochody Ae-45 / Ae-145
The Aero 45 helped restart Czechoslovak aircraft production after the Second World War. Its twin piston engines and enclosed cabin made it a practical small transport for civilian operators. Production began at Aero and subsequently moved to Let at Kunovice.
The simulator package follows this development through the Ae 45, improved Ae 45S and later Ae 145.
