Air Tractor AT-802 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Air Tractor AT-802

The AT-802 carries its working load in a hopper ahead of the cockpit. Its low wing, large turboprop and elevated pilot position reflect its agricultural origins. The same basic platform has been adapted for firefighting and other specialist work.

An agricultural aircraft and an amphibious Fire Boss are distinct configurations. Floats, water collection and delivery equipment change the role as well as the appearance. A simulator listing should therefore be read with its mission package in mind, rather than treating every AT-802 as the same air tanker.

Trim and hydraulics in the A300 cockpit

The iniBuilds A300 guide identifies paired pitch-trim wheels, rudder-trim controls and hydraulic controls, and describes the flight-phase use of the autopilot. The dedicated guide keeps the A300's represented systems separate from the later Airbus sidestick families.

Airbus A300-600R ↗Research-based aircraft background

Airbus A300-600R

The A300 established Airbus in the airline market during the 1970s. Its broad fuselage and two underwing engines offered a new alternative among large transports. Later developments changed the cockpit, wing details and systems, with the A300-600 becoming a major branch.

Early three-crew A300s and later two-pilot versions should not be described as identical aircraft. The family also became important in freight service. The simulator product's full model designation is the starting point for selecting the right flight-deck and systems documentation.

A pre-sidestick Airbus flight deck

The A310 guide covers hydraulic-system checks, pitch trim and yaw-damper activation in the context of inertial-reference alignment. It also documents rudder trim. These separate controls are part of the aircraft's older Airbus cockpit architecture, distinct from the automatic-trim sidestick family that followed.

Airbus A310-300 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Airbus A310-300

Airbus developed the A310 to serve a market below the larger A300. The first prototype flew in 1982, and the type entered airline service the following year. Its broad fuselage and two underwing engines retain the family resemblance, but it brought a new wing and a shorter cabin.

The A310-300 extended the design's range and used fuel in the horizontal stabilizer for trim management. For simmers, the aircraft bridges two eras: electronic displays and flight management sit alongside a control philosophy that predates the A320's sidestick fly-by-wire family.

A320neo v2 (iniBuilds) · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024

The later bundled A320neo has its own systems guide

The iniBuilds guide explains load-factor-based fly-by-wire control and automatic trim, and separates autopilot, flight-director and autothrust indications. It describes the later A320neo implementation. These details should not be silently assigned to the original Asobo aircraft or to an independent A320 add-on.

Hydraulic architecture appears in the cockpit documentation

The A321 guide explains the relationship between engine-start preparation and the yellow hydraulic system's brake-accumulator supply. That is a concrete systems connection within this implementation, rather than a generic A320-family checklist copied onto a longer aircraft.

Hardware integration starts with the shipped definition

Fenix directs hardware users to VAR_NAME entries in the installed Cockpit_Behavior.xml and provides example LVar bindings. The shipped file and applicable aircraft version are the source of the names. Guessing an identifier from a cockpit label is not an equivalent method.
