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.

The optional EFB includes maintenance and navigation information
iniBuilds lists an EFB with maintenance, moving-map, radio and weather pages. It can be hidden for a cockpit presentation without the tablet.

Multiple persistent airframes and a maintenance manager
Hot Start's TBM 900 retains switch, fuel and aircraft-condition state between flights. The published model includes component wear, a maintenance manager and separately tracked airframes. Its G1000-based cockpit adds synthetic vision, engine and system pages, while the PT6, electrical and environmental systems have custom models. The reviewed product page still specifies X-Plane 11; its advertised future X-Plane 12 update is a separate statement.

An aircraft whose condition carries between sessions
SimCoders’ REP adds persistent temperatures, switch positions, battery condition and maintenance needs to Thranda’s X-Plane 12 Beaver. Its hangar interface covers the engine, electrical system and landing gear. An optional economy mode attaches virtual earnings and costs to flying, fuel and repairs. The page explicitly excludes the older XP11 Beaver.

Explore the engine and inspect the aircraft
REP describes a replacement engine model with selectable conventional or pressure carburettors, oil-system detail, priming and a booster coil. Its interactive walkaround includes surfaces, tyres, tie-downs and pitot checks. The kneeboard and maintenance tools are also available in VR, with optional in-flight tips.

ICP Savannah S
The Savannah S is a light high-wing aircraft with fixed tricycle gear and a Rotax-powered configuration. Its control system combines a conventional elevator and rudder with externally mounted Junkers-type flaperons. These wing surfaces mix roll control and flap function, so their movement is part of both the primary controls and the low-speed configuration.
ICP’s maintenance manual describes pitch control carried first by a pushrod and then cables, rod-operated flaperons with a mixer, and cable-operated rudder control. The elevator’s electric trim tab also acts as an anti-balance tab. This is a specific mechanical arrangement whose force and trim behaviour comes from the connections and tab geometry, rather than from the aircraft’s high-wing outline alone.

Condition, failures and maintenance
The product’s TrueSim features cover engine, fuel, failure and maintenance behavior. Its EFB includes condition management, servicing and fuel pages, with adjustable realism options. The manual separately indexes glass and analog cockpit equipment, including maintenance pages and the hydraulic dump control.

An expansion for Carenado’s X-Plane 11 PC-12
SimCoders requires the Carenado X-Plane 11 PC-12 for this REP. Its engine additions include custom temperature evolution, throttle response, propeller-governor behaviour and hot starts. A maintenance interface, walkaround and saved battery and engine condition add continuity between flights. This listing does not establish compatibility with Thranda’s newer PC-12.

The Porter REP targets Thranda’s X-Plane 12 aircraft
SimCoders explicitly requires the XP12 Turbo Porter and also supports its amphibian. Documented additions include a custom tailwheel model, engine-temperature and hot-start behaviour, persistent component condition and a maintenance hangar. An optional virtual economy connects flying with fuel and repair costs.

An aircraft that retains its mechanical history
A2A's Accu-Sim 2 Comanche uses its external Merlin flight-physics system and a per-cylinder engine model. The manual describes fuel priming, fuel contamination and ground behaviour that responds to tyre loading. Persistent aircraft condition connects one simulator session with the next, while the maintenance and inspection interfaces make that condition visible. The full manual is the starting point for understanding the aircraft; the separate variable list serves cockpit builders.

Condition, inspections and configurable equipment
The maintenance interface records engine and airframe hours and provides an inspection diagram showing the condition of individual systems. Its New, Used and Auction starting conditions give the same aircraft different mechanical histories; the Auction option can produce a wide range of condition. The maintenance page also provides an overhaul function.
The manual describes selectable airframe modifications, soundproofing and a choice of McCauley or MT three-bladed propeller. These are configuration options within A2A's model. These features are specific to A2A's Comanche.
