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.

Latécoère 631
The French Latécoère 631 was a six-engine flying boat intended for transatlantic passenger service. Its long hull, high wing and radial engines date from the final era of large civil flying boats. The Second World War disrupted development and service.
Land-based airliners later displaced this approach to long-distance transport. The aircraft's numerous engines and large crew stations reflect the systems and navigation demands of its period.

Choose the correct manual and navigator
The original release has its own v1.4 manual, distinct from the native-2024 product. Its opening pages warn that some controls require the supplied binding documentation and that the TDS GTN750Xi option is not available on Xbox. The cockpit index covers the autopilot, fuel controls, engine start, anti-ice equipment and EFB.

Learjet 35 / 36
The Learjet 35 and longer-range 36 developed the earlier Learjet around Garrett TFE731 turbofans. Rear-mounted engines, a swept wing and prominent tip tanks formed the family outline. The 35A improved the Model 35; the 36 exchanged some passenger accommodation for additional fuel.
Flysimware represents the Learjet 35A in separate original MSFS and native MSFS 2024 releases.
Learjet 45
Bombardier's Learjet division developed the 45 as a midsize business jet. Two engines sit beside the rear fuselage, leaving the low wing clear of nacelles. Just Flight's simulator project was announced in the selected development listing and had not been released at that source date.
Leonardo AW139 Long Nose
The AW139 type certificate describes two PT6C engines, a five-blade main rotor, four-blade tail rotor and retractable tricycle landing gear. Its rotor-speed limits distinguish powered and unpowered operation, and VNE changes with altitude, temperature and power state.
