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.
Douglas DC-6
Douglas developed the DC-6 from wartime transport work into a long-range commercial competitor. Its four radial engines and pressurised cabin supported passenger and freight operations. Production ran from the 1940s into the late 1950s, with later careers extending into specialist cargo and firefighting work.
The flight engineer is a major part of the aircraft's cockpit organisation. PMDG's simulation makes that role accessible through its own interface while retaining period systems such as the Sperry autopilot. The manual explains how those responsibilities are divided in the virtual aircraft.

DRACO X's simulator-specific equipment
The manual identifies three-axis trim, separate pilot and copilot autopilot disconnects, G3X displays and custom landing-gear squat behaviour. These belong to the simulation.

Druine D.5 Turbi
Restauravia's D.5 Turbi recreates an aircraft co-owned by its developer. The package has a 60 hp engine, fixed tailwheel landing gear and no modelled flap detents. Pitch trim is available in the simulation; autopilot and autothrottle are not included.

A simulator twin's systems
The product lists a custom S-TEC autopilot and 24 independently simulated fuses with failure behaviour. Black and white cockpit styles provide alternative presentations of the same design. The manual is supplied with the purchase.
Features and v2.1 requirements
EagleLabs Eagle 315 HP Twin Prototype
EagleLabs' Eagle 315 is a retro-style general-aviation design created for X-Plane. Its published specifications list two 160 hp engines, with counter-rotating constant-speed propellers and retractable landing gear.
The paid product develops an earlier freeware design. Its custom S-TEC autopilot, 24 separately simulated fuses and failure options accompany alternative black and white cockpit styles.

Optica · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
Observation-aircraft layout with modern navigation options
Got Friends documents a KAP140 autopilot used with the Working Title G530, along with pilot and copilot autopilot/trim-disconnect controls. Crew-dependent ballast options are also described. The loading options account for occupants in the forward cabin.

Flight-guidance behaviour and documented limits
X-Crafts documents autopilot disconnection from manual pitch trim or stick-shaker activation, and uses X-Plane's control-wheel-steering facility for Touch Control Steering. The reviewed release does not implement several trim cutouts and column-disconnect functions. The corresponding cockpit hardware is visible but inactive in the documented version.
