Research aircraft and systems
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.

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.

Saved flights retain their failure state
PMDG’s November 2022 manual distinguishes a reusable panel configuration from a saved flight. Active and armed failures are retained when restoring a saved flight, so resuming a flight also resumes that fault scenario. The STARTUP STATE option selects a consistent starting configuration.

Wheel chocks control ground-service availability
The documented ground-service menu requires the chocks to be set before services become available. Removing them also removes connected services. The menu uses red and green status colours to indicate whether equipment still prevents aircraft movement.

Control-wheel steering and hardware options
PMDG documents autopilot reversion to control-wheel steering when the simulated controls are displaced. An aircraft option can instead ignore hardware input during autopilot operation. The introduction also gives electric-trim travel limits that depend on the 737 body variant.
