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.
F-16 Fighting Falcon
General Dynamics developed the F-16 around agility and a lightweight fighter brief. Its blended wing-body, fly-by-wire controls, side stick and bubble canopy were distinctive features of the design. Later versions took on a wider range of missions. The SC Designs product includes several modeled variants.

F-23A (hypothetical package variant)
The F-23A is Top Mach Studios' imagined production development of the YF-23, not a built operational aircraft. Its avionics, weapons and performance are developer-defined. The package supplies custom fly-by-wire controls, twin jet engines and retractable landing gear.

F-86F-30 Sabre
Shrike's F-86F-30 represents the Sabre with the six-three wing. The user guide describes an engine-driven normal hydraulic supply and an electric alternate supply for the flight controls. A hat switch provides pitch and roll trim.

FN.333 Riviera
The FN.333 Riviera is a single-engine amphibious light aircraft.

Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II
The A-10 was designed around supporting ground forces. Its low-speed manoeuvrability, large cannon installation and protection for critical systems reflect that mission. The engines sit high on the rear fuselage, and the main wheels retract into prominent wing fairings.
The Warthog nickname is as familiar as its formal Thunderbolt II name. Upgrades changed its cockpit and equipment between the A-10A and A-10C. The simulator products document their included combat and sensor functions.

Flight Design CTLS
The CTLS is a member of Flight Design’s CT family. It combines a strut-free high wing, tricycle landing gear and a side-by-side cabin, with composite construction and a Rotax 912 ULS engine. A ballistic parachute is part of the design described by VSKYLABS.
The X-Plane product includes analog and G1000 cockpit variants. The CTSL is a separate model represented in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The guide distinguishes fuselage, travel and start tanks. Fuselage tank 5 can supply all four engines.

Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor
The Condor began as an all-metal transport aircraft. Its long, slim fuselage and four wing-mounted engines expressed the ambitions of late-1930s airline travel. A Berlin-to-New York demonstration flight in 1938 helped draw attention to its long-distance capability.
Military Fw 200 developments later served very different roles and carried different equipment. The photographs identify civil airliners and armed wartime variants, whose cabins and cockpits differed.

Fokker 70 / 100
The Fokker 100 developed the F28 with a longer fuselage, Rolls-Royce Tay engines and an updated flight deck. The shorter Fokker 70 followed for smaller passenger loads and shorter routes, first flying in 1993. The two regional jets have separate simulator products and variant specifications.

Fokker Dr.I
The Fokker Dr.I was a single-seat triplane fighter of the First World War. The RAF Museum's timeline records the first two F.I/Dr.I aircraft reaching Richthofen's unit on 21 August 1917 and Werner Voss recording the type's first combat victory on 30 August.
Got Friends represents the triplane in a simulator package. Its aircraft page is linked separately from the historical account.
