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.
Dassault Falcon 8X
The Falcon 8X extends the 7X lineage through aerodynamic changes, engine optimization and additional fuel capacity. First deliveries took place in October 2016. The collected background reference covers both aircraft, so 7X figures are not automatically assigned to the 8X. The simulator product's development status is shown separately from the real aircraft's service history.

Dassault Mirage 2000
A single-engine delta-wing fighter represented by Miltech’s M2K-C.
The Miltech catalogue lists this product for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. Its product page and developer documentation describe the simulator-specific equipment and available configurations.

Choose the variant to match the mission equipment
The manual assigns different hoists, cargo hooks and firefighting attachments to its nine variants. Career activities follow those configurations; the HH-65B HITRON fit is cosmetic and is listed as a display/free-flight variant.

Mission Hub is an additional purchase
The guide describes Miltech Mission Hub support for hoisting, firefighting and sling work, with the platform sold separately. Aircraft equipment and the appropriate variant still determine which activities are available.

Two helicopters, two automatic flight-control systems
Taog's AS365N2 uses the AP155/CDV85 installation, while the HH-65A has a different four-axis AFCS and flight-director system. Their upper modes can take control of the collective as well as the cyclic. The manual explains collective alignment, trim-release behaviour and the accommodations for spring-centred desktop controls. It is worth selecting the aircraft variant before selecting its control bindings.

Variant-specific hardware controls
The binding guide publishes separate input events for the Dauphin and HH-65. Axis values use the documented -16384 to 16384 range, and momentary buttons require both press and release actions. Similar display names do not make the two variants' events interchangeable. The technical-reference entries retain the exact identifiers rather than inventing a shared mapping.

Dauphin AS365 / HH-65
The Dauphin developed at Aérospatiale and continued through Eurocopter and Airbus. Its smooth fuselage and enclosed tail rotor became familiar in passenger, police, rescue and government roles. The family includes naval and coastguard derivatives with specialised equipment.
The AS365N2 and HH-65A in Taog's package have distinct automatic flight-control installations. That is a substantive systems difference within a shared family, and a good example of why an aircraft reference needs more than a developer name and a storefront link.
