Sud Aviation developed the Alouette III as a larger follow-on to the Alouette II. The design uses a single turbine, a three-bladed main rotor and wheeled landing gear. It served civilian and military operators in transport, rescue and many other roles.
Different engine versions and mission installations appeared during its long production life. The simulator packages have their own flight-model options and external-load tools.

FlyInside describes a custom dynamics engine and simulated failures, including engine and rotor-related events.
FlyInside Gazelle 341 listing · captured September 2026
Top Mach Studios' B-2A has four jet engines, retractable landing gear and no conventional wing flaps. Automatic elevons and the beaver-tail surface provide its simulated control functions. The developer uses small simulated tail and rudder surfaces and simplified pitch and bank limits in the flight model.

RJ Professional · Just Flight · MSFS 2020 · MSFS 2024
Just Flight's comparison explains how the RJ's digital engine control, thrust-rating panel and autothrottle work together. Its simulated pressurisation system is fully automatic after the landing altitude is set, whereas the 146 Professional uses a semi-automatic arrangement. Automatic lift-spoiler deployment is another difference described for landing and rejected takeoff.

The BAe 146 was developed for short-haul airline service, with -100, -200 and -300 fuselage lengths. Its high wing and T-tail make it readily recognisable. The Avro RJ continued the family with revised engines, avionics and other systems.
The 146 and RJ have different flight-guidance systems and cockpit arrangements. Just Flight documents them in separate manuals and a differences guide.

First developed under the Hawker Siddeley name, the Hawk continued through British Aerospace and BAE Systems. Its single-engine, subsonic design serves advanced training and, in some versions, combat roles. The T1 and later Hawks differ in equipment, identified by the model captions on photographs and specifications.
The BD-5J is the jet-powered member of Bede’s small single-seat aircraft line. AzurPoly’s manual records the original BD-5’s 1971 first flight and the introduction of the jet variant in 1973. Its appearance in the 1983 film Octopussy helped carry the tiny jet’s outline beyond the experimental-aircraft community.
A mechanical side stick commands the aircraft. The manual describes an anti-servo pitch tab and electric pitch trim acting through that tab. Retractable landing gear uses a mechanical cable system, and the flap lever selects 0, 15 or 30 degrees. The BD-5J’s jet engine therefore sits in an airframe whose primary controls and retractable gear retain comparatively direct mechanical arrangements.

The Beech Twin Bonanza was a twin-engine executive aircraft.
X-Hangar D50B simulator edition; performance figures are developer stated.
The Baron entered the Beechcraft range in 1961, developing from the earlier Travel Air. Its retractable landing gear and two wing-mounted piston engines provide the familiar outline of a light touring twin. Several fuselage and engine combinations appeared over the family's long history.
The Model 58 and glass-cockpit G58 share a recognisable shape while representing different equipment generations. The simulator products span conventional-instrument aircraft and modern G58s, with avionics and systems described for each.

Beechcraft Duchess · Just Flight · Just Flight · X-Plane 12 · X-Plane 11
The X-Plane 12 edition adds an EFB for loading and centre of gravity, interactive checklists, instrument pop-outs and aircraft options. Its engine page exposes condition information and options for spark-plug fouling and vapour lock. Static and recolourable dynamic liveries can be changed from within the aircraft.

The Duchess occupies the training end of Beechcraft's piston-twin range. Beechcraft designated it the Model 76. It was intended in part to provide an affordable introduction to multi-engine flying.
