The Bü 131 Jungmann is represented by Lionheart as a fixed-tailwheel biplane without wing flaps. Its cockpit includes an elevator-trim lever. The liveries share the package's documented control configuration.
Lionheart also adds an explicitly fictional altitude/heading autopilot as a simulator convenience. The manual notes that starting a flight airborne can enable that assistant.

The Camair 480 Twin Navion in Hangar Studios 713's manual uses two 240 hp Continental O-470B engines and constant-speed propellers. Its landing gear retracts, and pitch and rudder controls are grouped on the pedestal.
The simulator includes a KAP140 autopilot and optional navigators. Later trim-indicator additions change the available cockpit information; the product is documented as an MSFS 2020 aircraft with MSFS 2024 backwards compatibility.
Camair 480 Twin Navion
Aeroplane Heaven’s Cessna 140 is a single-piston, high-wing taildragger with fixed landing gear. The rendition documents a four-position flap lever and an elevator trim tab on the starboard side.
C140 reference figures in the developer guide; individual engines and modifications vary.
vFlyteAir's Cessna 150 represents the 1972 C150L with a 100 hp Continental O-200A and fixed-pitch propeller. Fixed tricycle gear, elevator trim and electrically operated flaps to 40 degrees are documented. The flap switch is held during travel.
Cessna 150 Commuter
The Skycatcher combines a two-seat high-wing airframe with under-panel control sticks. Cessna’s handbook explains that these move like floor-mounted sticks while leaving the cabin easier to enter. Cables and mechanical linkages operate the ailerons, elevator and rudder, with spring loading in the rudder system.
Electric pitch trim acts through a tab on the right elevator. A switch on the stick commands an elevator-mounted servo, and the Garmin G300 displays the trim position. The same handbook identifies optional automatic-flight equipment separately from the standard flight and engine displays.
