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.

Pitch and roll mechanisms
The manual's control schematic shows a hydraulic aileron servo with an artificial-feel spring and electrical trim actuator. Pitch trim and roll artificial-feel neutral adjustment are separate from rudder trim. The A, A-MLU and PAN configurations also carry different tank and loadout arrangements.

Aermacchi MB-339
Aermacchi developed the MB-339 during the 1970s to replace the Italian Air Force's MB-326. The new trainer retained a design relationship to that aircraft. A single jet engine, retractable landing gear and wing flaps form its basic configuration.
IndiaFoxtEcho's documentation separates the A, A-MLU and PAN versions. Tip-tank and loadout arrangements differ, while PAN uses combined smoke/fuel tanks. The control schematic identifies a hydraulic aileron servo, artificial-feel spring and electrical trim actuator.

Airbus A300-600R · iniBuilds · iniBuilds · MSFS 2024 · MSFS 2020
Trim and hydraulics in the A300 cockpit
The iniBuilds A300 guide identifies paired pitch-trim wheels, rudder-trim controls and hydraulic controls, and describes the flight-phase use of the autopilot.

A310-300 · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
A pre-sidestick Airbus flight deck
The A310 guide covers hydraulic-system checks, pitch trim and yaw-damper activation in the context of inertial-reference alignment. It also documents rudder trim. These separate controls are part of the aircraft's older Airbus cockpit architecture, distinct from the automatic-trim sidestick family that followed.

Hydraulic architecture appears in the cockpit documentation
The A321 guide explains the relationship between engine-start preparation and the yellow hydraulic system's brake-accumulator supply.

A330 (-200, -300, 300P2F) · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
The -200 and -300 have different fuel arrangements
The iniBuilds A330 guide distinguishes the -200's centre-tank configuration from the -300 and describes the horizontal-stabiliser trim tank. It also covers hydraulic preparation and engine-specific indications. Engine and airframe combinations are identified by variant throughout the manual.

A330-743L Beluga XL · Microsoft Flight Simulator · MSFS 2024
The BelugaXL has a dedicated operating guide
The BelugaXL's oversized transport role comes with a separately published cockpit and operating guide. It includes its own hydraulic-system preparation. The XL guide covers its specialised cargo configuration.

Airbus A330-300 · Laminar Research · X-Plane 12
Sidestick commands and automatic trim
Laminar's A330 guide explains load-factor-related sidestick behaviour, automatic trim and its relationship to bank and load conditions. It also identifies three hydraulic systems. These systems are documented for Laminar's aircraft.

A330-900 · ToLiss · X-Plane 11 · X-Plane 12
Flight-control laws, hydraulics and fuel transfer
ToLiss documents normal, alternate and direct control laws for its A330, alongside hydraulic-flow and surface hinge-moment modelling. Fuel transfers can change centre of gravity. The v1.1 change log also distinguishes simulator branches, retaining X-Plane 11 support while adapting weather-radar behaviour for X-Plane 12. Internal force calculations are not automatically exported control-force telemetry.
