Beta Testers needed for Icon Ikarus C42

[Irishguy2901]

Hi everyone,

I have an amazing team behind, and I am really missing my lovely little Icon Ikarus C42 in the sim so I thought I will create it. With that in mind, we will need people to put our lovely airplane to the test.

So if there are any RL pilots here currently flying a C42 please contact me. We are really looking for people to put the aircraft tot he test up and down in order to make it as real life as any possible.

The model is currently primary coded for msfs-2020 but will definitively be available for MSFS 2024 in the future.

So if

• you have hours on a C42B or even better are actively flying it
• use MSFS 2020
• would like to be part of a “plane birth” in MSFS

please get back to me!

Cheers from the Republic of Ireland

Tagging along! There’s a C42 at my flight school and maybe one day I could get some time on it.

Hey. I am in flight school at the moment and I am doing my license on a C42.

So, if you are still searching for some beta testers, please let me know.

Thanks and best regards!

Hi

I have just passed my PPL and have got a share in C42. Will start my differences training next week. I am also a software developer, so hope I can be a help with testing.

Although I have moved to MSFS2024 I can still run MSFS2020. Used the latter to compliment my RL training on a PA28.

Hi,

I have a C42, over 200 hours on type now.

I’m currently training in the C42 so can beta test for you if needed. I have MSFS 2020.

Hi Irishguy,

Will your C42 be coming to the Xbox Marketplace as this is a definite purchase for me.

Just started my NPPL(M) on one but not enough hours yet to be a useful beta tester.

Thanks.

Hi Cranberry13 (I LOVE Cranberries!)! We are currently attending the Microsoft Partner Program and hope to hear back from MSFS in regard to that. But yes if MS allows that we will have it available on all MSFS stores.

The reason why I came up with the idea of building this aircraft was exactly that in order to allow new (student) pilots to fly the aircraft in MSFS and save some money. I am doing my NPPL currently as well in a C42.

The Cranberries, a good Irish band

Good luck with your NPPL (I’m only on my 3rd lesson but loving it).

Glad to hear you hope to get the C42 into the marketplace. Hopefully it will help me practice when it’s non-flying day.

Very excited to hear the progress made, are you still looking for beta testers?

Hi, I’m a licensed light sport pilot on the Ikarus C42B, and I’d love to share my feedback on the aircraft. There used to be a decent C42 model for X-Plane, but it’s quite outdated by now. I even considered creating a new version for MSFS, but eventually gave up after realizing how complex the process is

Hey! Almost 350 hours and FI on the C42B. Feel free to reach out to me

Wow, great that you are Programming a C42🥳

I run my own Flightschool in Germany and fly up to 800h per year on C42 A/B/C/CS as a CFI. Would love to try it out .

Best regards
