Cirrus SR22 · Laminar Research · X-Plane 12
The Laminar guide identifies the represented aircraft as an SR22T and describes its side controls, pitch-trim indication and relief of sustained fore-and-aft pressure. The side controls are mechanically connected.

Cirrus SR22 · TorqueSim · TorqueSim · X-Plane 12
TorqueSim's SR22 history records changes to trim authority and autopilot/control behaviour. Version 2.1 moved the G1000 aircraft to the X-Plane 12.1 X1000 and excludes older simulator versions; 2.1.1 removed the Gizmo dependency. The developer documents G1000 and Entegra products separately, with their release histories.

Cirrus Vision SF50 · Laminar Research · X-Plane 12
Laminar's SF50 guide covers flight controls, autopilot and trim/configuration indications. It covers the bundled Vision Jet's equipment; later real-aircraft upgrades and other developers' packages have separate references.

The C42B is a light high-wing aircraft with fixed tricycle landing gear and a Rotax powerplant. Comco’s catalogue lists both 80-hp 912 UL and 100-hp 912 ULS configurations, with model and weight approvals kept separate from the later C42 C/CS.
The manufacturer’s handbook identifies aileron pushrods, an elevator pushrod and rudder cables. It also documents an elevator trim tab, mechanical flap control and a brake lever. These linkages give the cockpit a direct mechanical-control arrangement around its light-aircraft structure.
C42B LTF-UL-2019 issue 1, 540 kg configuration.
The Couzinet 71 Arc-en-Ciel has three piston engines and fixed tailwheel landing gear. Restauravia describes its flight model as approximate, with historical questions still unresolved. The cockpit checklist includes pitch trim; two flight-controller-labelled instruments display turn and slip.

Restauravia represents the MD.450 Ouragan jet fighter with separate elevator, aileron and rudder trim controls. Its English notice describes hydraulic accessory systems.

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.

AS365 N2 / HH-65A · Taog's Hangar · MSFS 2024
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.

AS365 N2 / HH-65A · Taog's Hangar · MSFS 2024
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.

Pitch trim moves the horizontal stabiliser. Inline Rotax engines, 35-inch tyres and a free-castering tailwheel define the represented configuration, with an optional Type 400A flight director.
