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.
UH-1H / B205A-1 · Taog's Hangar · MSFS 2020
Read the simulation notes beside the real-system description
Taog's v1.0.6 manual explains the Huey's hydraulic assistance and magnetic/spring force-trim devices, then explicitly marks hydraulic-control and force-trim support as not simulated in that documented release. The limitation applies to the v1.0.6 Taog release; the first-party Huey has separate documentation.

Bloch MB.152
Restauravia's MB.152 has retractable main landing gear and two nonzero flap settings. The cockpit places the elevator-trim control on the left console and also provides rudder trim. The manual describes hydraulic operation for gear and flaps.

Control tabs and hydraulic assistance share the aircraft
The manual describes tab-assisted elevator and aileron controls, hydraulic roll spoilers and a boosted rudder. Outboard ailerons are inactive with flaps up. Stabiliser trim has interlinked manual wheels, electric control, a motion light and electrical cutouts.

Period autopilots and hydraulic flight controls
FlyJSim distinguishes the independent FD-108 flight director from the SP-150 autopilot, including their mode interlocks. Custom control-surface behaviour accounts for hydraulic pressure, blow-down and standby operation. The FD-108 is a flight director, not another autopilot installation.

Boeing 737-800 · Laminar Research · X-Plane 12
Visible switches do not all imply working systems
Laminar's 737 guide documents hydraulic source controls and the STAB OUT OF TRIM indication. It also limits the pictured flight-control panel's implemented functionality to the yaw damper.

Systems, loading and cockpit-building facilities
FlightFactor describes custom hydraulic and electrical systems, a three-channel autopilot with failure dependencies, and loading and fuel changes that affect centre of gravity. Its cockpit interaction options include mouse-wheel modes, manual tooltips and displayed datarefs for cockpit builders.

C-17 Globemaster III · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
Cargo controls have documented simulation limits
Hydraulic and electrical power are required for cargo-door and ramp operation. The guide marks the chute/rail, aerial-delivery, ramp-blowdown and smoke-detection panels as inactive in this version.

Citation Longitude · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
Three axes, different control paths
The Longitude guide describes mechanical pitch and roll controls, hydraulically operated roll spoilers and an electronically controlled rudder. Its simulated hydraulic failures can affect rudder, yaw-damper and spoiler authority. The guide also marks locks, disconnects and secondary trim as unmodelled in the documented version. Engine FADEC, the APU and fuel transfer have their own detailed sections.

Cessna Citation Longitude
The Longitude is Cessna's Model 700. It first flew in 2016 and received certification in 2019. The design uses the Latitude's fuselage cross-section with a longer cabin, paired with a new swept wing and Honeywell turbofan engines.
The simulator operator's guide distinguishes mechanical pitch and roll controls, hydraulic roll spoilers and an electronically controlled rudder.
Aircraft / family
Cessna Citation Sovereign 680
The Model 680 Sovereign specification describes manually operated rod-and-cable primary controls with hydraulic roll spoilers. An aileron ratio changer reduces yoke effort at high speed. Electric stabiliser and roll-tab trim are supplemented by Mach trim.
