The DA62 expanded Diamond's touring-aircraft range with a larger twin-engine cabin. Its long wing, slim engine nacelles and retractable landing gear follow the company's composite-airframe design language. Cabin seating depends on configuration, with arrangements extending beyond a conventional four-seat light aircraft.
Engine management and integrated avionics are central to the type's identity. The simulator products describe their own engine controls and cockpit functions.

This freeware release is a functional interpretation of the Dorand G.20, which never flew. The simulated flying qualities are conceptual and are not presented as measured performance from the real prototype.

René Dorand’s G.20 was an experimental helicopter developed around coaxial rotors and two Renault engines. The prototype survived the interruption of the Second World War and reached ground testing, but did not fly.
VSKYLABS’ Dorand D20 is a released freeware interpretation for X-Plane 12. It explores how the unusual design might have behaved, so the simulator’s flight characteristics are explicitly conceptual.
Dorand G.20 configuration described by VSKYLABS
The Dornier 228 is a twin-turboprop utility transport with an unpressurized cabin. NASA’s early description distinguishes a 15-passenger 228-100 from the 19-passenger 228-200 and identifies TPE331-5 engines with four-blade propellers. The two cabin lengths provided a small-airliner and utility platform within the same programme.
