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.

Fuel trim and flight controls are different systems
FlyByWire's A380X documentation separates trim-tank fuel management from the flight-control checks performed with the sidestick. It also identifies autopilot engagement and hydraulic shutdown procedures. Fuel transfer manages balance, while the sidestick checks concern the flight controls.

The manual maps the starter and fuel control explicitly
Cowan’s H125 guide uses TOGGLE TURBINE IGNITION SWITCH for the overhead starter and TOGGLE ENGINE 2 FUEL VALVE for the fuel cutoff. The engine-number binding is the developer’s simulator assignment; it does not describe a second physical engine.

The weight page changes the aircraft, with a display caveat
The October 2022 guide lets users enter payload, crew and fuel on the VMS WEIGHT page and commit with VAL. It warns that those changes affect the aircraft without updating the separate MSFS weight dialog. Its engine-power-check page was not implemented in that documented version.

The preview guide does not require a separate throttle axis
HPG maps collective to either THROTTLE AXIS or COLLECTIVE AXIS, with only one chosen. The simulated FADEC handles engine fuel control. This differs from packages that require separate collective and twist-throttle assignments.

Loading information stays connected to the simulator
The PERFPO page shows fuel and payload information synchronised with the simulator’s Weight & Balance dialog and the FMS. This gives the simulated cockpit a way to reflect the loading selected for a flight.

Choose the level of detail on the vehicle display
The VEH page groups oil, fuel and hydraulic information. Its NUM key shows or hides numerical values that are within range; out-of-range parameters automatically gain numerical indications. The guide explains this alongside the separate engine and FADEC pages.

An operating mechanism and its indication may have separate power
The manual distinguishes the flap-motor circuit breakers from the breaker supplying the flap-position indicator. Fuel-quantity indication likewise depends on its own powered circuit and selector. These documented separations explain why checking only a main control may leave part of the simulated panel unpowered.

Use the EFB to manage the load
The EFB accepts passenger, cargo and fuel quantities, with kilograms or pounds selectable. Just Flight advises using this display for loading because the simulator’s standard fuel/payload window may not correctly reflect changes made through the tablet.

The X-Plane 12 package lists eight configurations, including the 100, 200 and 300 passenger aircraft, QC/QT freighters and RAF CC.Mk2 and C.Mk3. The EFB sets passengers, cargo and fuel for the selected aircraft.

Electrical failures and a custom fuel system
Just Flight describes a custom crossfeed fuel system and functional circuit breakers connected to X-Plane failure logic. The add-on also provides emergency landing-gear extension, carburettor and cowl-flap controls, electric trim, and a fan system linked to its electrical simulation.

Panels and avionics
Flysimware’s product page describes G5 and G3X panel options, with GNS 530, PMS50 GTN 750 and TDS GTN 750Xi integrations. The third-party navigators require their corresponding products. The tablet provides checklists, loading, fuel, weather and configuration pages.
