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.
Schempp-Hirth Discus-2c
The Discus-2c family combines a sailplane airframe with optional Front Electric Sustainer equipment. Schempp-Hirth offers 15 m and 18 m span configurations and identifies a 22 kW FES motor from LZ Design.
Got Friends supplies an unpowered Standard edition and a Premium edition with electric in-flight assistance. The manual describes spring elevator trim, mid-wing airbrakes, retractable gear and custom FES power and temperature behaviour.

Short Stirling Mk1
Virtavia's Stirling package includes Mk I aircraft, including a Pathfinder fit, plus Mk III and Mk IV versions. Its manual identifies pitch and rudder trim, while the aileron uses a preset spring tab instead of cockpit roll trim.

Shorts 330 / C-23 Sherpa
The Shorts 330 combines twin turboprops, a high wing and a box-shaped cabin in a short-sector transport. BlackBox’s Regional Series also represents the military C-23 branches, retaining their separate cabin and mission configurations. The 330 and later 360 share a product package but have different airframes and flap-position tables.
The systems manual describes rods and cables operating the primary controls, with trim tabs in pitch, roll and yaw. Hydraulic services operate other equipment without boosting those primary surfaces. The columns have stick shakers, and the landing gear retracts. These details make the 330 a manually controlled transport with warning and configuration systems around its yokes.

Shorts 360
The Shorts 360 is the larger civil transport represented alongside the 330 in BlackBox’s Regional Series. Twin turboprops, a high wing and a rectangular cabin give it a utility-oriented shape, with a flight deck built around yokes, engine and propeller management, trim and retractable landing gear. Its systems tables distinguish it from the smaller 330.
Primary control rods and cables carry pilot commands directly, and tabs provide pitch, roll and yaw trim. The manual lists three nonzero flap positions for the 360. Both control columns have stick shakers, adding a warning function to the manually controlled cockpit.

S12G · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
A sailplane cockpit with separate engine electrics
The Stemme S12G manual identifies digital trim indication and gliding instruments, together with separate engine and airframe electrical controls. The propulsion installation is part of a self-launching sailplane, so its controls have a different purpose from those in a conventional touring single.

Flight Replicas Seafire Mk.III / Mk.Ib · Flight Replicas · MSFS 2020
The represented cockpit and flap documentation
The manual identifies elevator-wheel and rudder trim, retractable gear and an arrestor hook. Its cockpit uses knots, while some narrative passages retain mph. The guide's two-position flap description conflicts with its explanation of an 18-degree intermediate takeoff setting.

Supermarine Seafire Mk.III / Mk.Ib
The Seafire Mk.III developed from the Mk.IIc, adding manually folding wings for carrier deck and hangar storage. Its naval equipment includes retractable landing gear and an arrestor hook. The family retained its Spitfire design lineage.
Flight Replicas includes a bonus Mk.Ib with an earlier windscreen but no separate flight model. The cockpit identifies elevator and rudder trim, and its airspeed instrument uses knots.

Different trim-tab functions
The POH's sections 7.3–7.5 identify mechanical controls, ground-adjustable rudder and right-aileron tabs and an elevator tab adjusted in flight. Their adjustment methods differ, while electrically operated flaps use discrete settings.

TL-Ultralight Sting S4
The Sting S4's POH describes mechanical primary controls. An in-flight adjustable elevator tab provides pitch trim; tabs on the rudder and right aileron are adjusted on the ground. Electric flaps have discrete settings.
FSReborn's simulator product includes custom Rotax behaviour, maintenance and ballistic recovery, with MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 support.
