Black Square’s Commander 114 brings you one of the most technically advanced aircraft simulations for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with an advanced reciprocating engine simulation, 75+ possible failures, 15 hot-swappable radio configurations, and the most advanced turbocharger, and cabin temperature simulations in MSFS.

Black Square’s tablet interface lets you configure all options, manage payload, control failures, and monitor engines, electrical schematics, and environmental control systems, all from within the simulator. The failure system allows for persistent wear, MTBF, and scheduled failures for nearly every component in the aircraft.

Radionavigation systems are available from several eras of the 114’s history. Fly without GPS via a Foster RNAV511, or with the convenience of a Garmin GTN 750/650 (PMS50 or TDS). Other radio equipment includes MX-170B radios, KLN-90B, GNS 530/430, System 60-2 Autopilot, and a WX-11 Stormscope.

A 150+ page manual provides instruction on all equipment, and 35 in-game checklists with control highlighting are included for normal and emergency procedures.

Six distinctive interiors and ten paint schemes are included from five decades of flying.

Checklists

Over 300 checklist items are provided for 35+ Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency procedures in textual form in the manual, and in-game, using the MSFS native checklist system with control and instrument highlighting. If it’s in the checklist, it’s settable in the aircraft!

Sounds

Black Square’s Commander 114 features a custom soundset created by Boris Audio Works, recorded from the real aircraft. High quality engine and cockpit sounds will immerse you in the simulation. Sounds like engine starting are not mere recordings, but instead many layered sounds, constructed based on the underlying simulation.

Flight Dynamics

The Commander 114 features a flight model with performance to match the real world aircraft based on real 114 owner feedback and in-flight data. Engine and aerodynamic performance should be within 2% of POH values, though no two engines are ever the same. The flight model uses the most up to date features available in MSFS 2020 & 2024, such as the new voxel CFD aerodynamics, CFD propeller, adverse yaw & stall parameters, and flexible tire physics. Engine damage and fouling produces a rough running engine and decreased performance.
