Unfortunately we stopped as the designer that was hired didn’t deliver, hopefully someone else can do it
Awesome! I have flown the C42 out of EGHF (now in PA28 from EGHF) So very local to you 
Also I highly reccomend BurningBlueDesigns Popham, its stunning!
Another definitely interested in a C42 for MSFS2022 here. I have the vFlyteAir Ikarus for the ‘other’ simulation and it would be great to see a similar quality addon in Flight Simulator.
Hi all, I just received a gift voucher for a flight in the Ikarus C42 out of Headcorn and I just wanted to ask if there is anything similar for now that I could fly in the sim to get me prepared and which has a similar cockpit layout please?
I used to fly Ikarus C42s you will find a fair amount of variation in cockpit instrument layouts out there as different owners modify them etc.
I think the Pipistrel is the closest aircraft to the C42 in the sim in terms of performance.
Thanks very much👍
You’re welcome I hope you enjoy your flight to try out the C42
Just did my very first GA flight ever in a C42 and yes, I feel emotionally connected.
But I guess no news or updates on that topic still, right?
any news on a c42 for msfs 2020?
Still nothing on the C42 build ?
I’m now over 25 hours flying towards my licence, I’ve invested over £11 k on a motion flight simulator and vr for training myself and my daughter to become a pilot.
Anyone have any news about further progress on it ?
Still very keen on a Ikarus C42, would be great to hear of some progress 
Is there anything I can do to help make this?
To all pilots in this thread and some new ones hopefully too. Even though we are at a VERY early stage of exploring the option I will hopefully have some good news in regards to a C42 in MSFS 2020. Just to get an idea of the interest please answer the following questions:
-
would you be interested in a c42 if available in the first place for MSFS 2020 ONLY
-
How much would you be willing to pay on the infame store or at flughtsom.to (in EUR please)
Thecreason for question 1 is that MSFS 2024 in its current state is too unstable for me to change from MSFS 2020 to 2024
I think you would be foolish to develop only for 2020. There is certainally a large number of people still using it, but anything developed should be done with conversion in mind.
I still fly 2020 most of the time as it is more stable, I hope SU3 will change that view. The Alpha that is the current 2024 is possibly about to become Beta and I would again hope) it is production ready by December.
I would buy a C42 for 2020 if I knew it would then be upgradable (even for small fee) I would spend 35 EUR. + 5 to 10 later if I really had too.
We are definitively building with conversion to 2024 in mind but maybe not from day 1 onwards But thanks for the hint
Look at end of this thread
!! UPDATE BETA TESTERS NEEDED !!
We are currently looking for beta testers at no cost! Ideally people who has already flown a C42B in order to have people with experience of the plane. Original post can be found in Beta Testers needed for Icon Ikarus C42 .
Hello everyone,
I’m taking advantage of this discussion thread to address the subject of our simulator controls.
I’m preparing for my microlight license on an Ikarus C42B. And the controls are different from what we find in our simulator cockpits. I wanted to get as close as possible to the C42 and find the same type of controls. The joystick is easy, but the throttle, located between the legs, is not common.
Some of you have probably figured out how to make this Ikarus C42-style throttle (and I’d love to see your creations !).
I made myself a simple USB throttle using a bit of 3D printing, an Arduino board, and a potentiometer (and it works pretty well).
