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 MD.450 Ouragan
Restauravia represents the MD.450 Ouragan jet fighter with separate elevator, aileron and rudder trim controls. Its English notice describes hydraulic accessory systems.
Standard MD 450 manufacturer datasheet; experimental MD 450-30L and Barougan excluded.
Dassault Mirage 2000
A single-engine delta-wing fighter represented by Miltech’s M2K-C.
Miltech offers its M2K-C for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024.

Dassault Rafale
The Rafale is a twin-engine canard-delta combat aircraft developed for French air-force and naval use. AzurPoly’s background section dates the Rafale A technology demonstrator’s first flight to 4 July 1986 and the full programme’s launch to 1988. The close-coupled canards and delta wing are part of an airframe built around electronic flight control and several mission roles.
AzurPoly’s Rafale C for MSFS 2024 uses its own fly-by-wire implementation, with load-factor demand and protections that respond to configuration and stores. Automatic pitch and roll trim belong to its normal digital law. Canards, elevons and slats move as part of that control system rather than following a conventional airliner flap schedule.

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. The control bindings differ by aircraft variant.

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 guide lists each variant's event identifiers separately.

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. The package's documentation describes the flight-control system for each variant.
