The Jenny family was developed as a military trainer, with two open cockpits, braced biplane wings and conventional landing gear. Surplus aircraft helped carry flying into civilian life after the war, appearing at displays and offering rides across North America.
Its cockpit belongs to a much earlier era than the touring aircraft that followed. The MSFS documentation also identifies convenience changes to ground steering. Those changes are adaptations for the simulator.
