* Each exterior texture is customized to represent the subject livery as it appeared during targeted year.
* Likewise, several separate interior textures are designed to faithfully depict the aircraft's cabin space.
* Since version 2.79, passenger seat visibility is toggled in the simulator by clicking upon the equipment rack located aft of the co-pilot's position. Some SimSmith liveries intentionally do not display the equipment rack and seats although the hot-spot is still in force (watch your pointer change as you move it).
* Since version 2.8, the animated doors are opened by clicking upon them from the inside.
* Proprietary normal/bump maps are included, implementing Physically Based Rendering ("PBR") when appropriate.
* Custom ski textures are also provided. Skis are activated in the simulator by a knobbed lever near the captain's left shoulder.
* Exclusive night-time textures (LITs) are provided, with guidance on their optional activation.
* Optional replacements for the spinning propeller texture (whose tip color is red by default), along with installation instructions.
