Cessna 340 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 340

Carenado’s C340 II presents a piston-twin cockpit with two GNS430 navigation units. The developer’s X-Plane 11 package includes a dedicated fuel-system description as well as normal and emergency procedures. Its paired engine and navigation controls place fuel management alongside the flight path as an explicit part of the cockpit documentation.

The rendition supports an optional RealityXP GTN750 installation. That choice changes the navigation interface without changing the aircraft model named by the product. The GNS430-equipped cockpit and optional GTN installation remain separately described equipment choices.

Cessna 404 Titan ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 404 Titan

The Titan sits at the larger end of Cessna's piston-twin range. Its low wing carries two engines, while a substantial cabin supports passenger and freight configurations. It was developed during the 1970s and also appeared in military service under different designations.

Its passenger and freight roles shaped the cabin. The simulator product identifies the represented cabin and cockpit configuration.

Cessna 408 SkyCourier ↗Research-based aircraft background

Cessna 408 SkyCourier

Textron launched the SkyCourier programme with FedEx as an important initial customer. The design is arranged around straightforward utility work: fixed landing gear, two wing-mounted turboprops and a large, boxy cabin. Passenger and freight configurations serve different operators.

Compared with Cessna's single-engine Caravan, the SkyCourier has two engines, a larger cabin and its own systems.
