I am a big fan of paramortors and back in FSX I owned the very nice Franz Luftahrt Paramotor. MSFS being a perfect platform for VFR flying, I tried my luck cand converted the paramotor and it worked…ish It’s full of bug, texture are not that great and the few instruments are not working, but the overall experience is still very enjoyable !
Here is a short video:
Before any debate, I purchased this add-on for FSX and this export is for my own use. I don’t plan to share it or do any tutorial.
We really need Asobo to create decent gliders and paramotors for the platform ! With VR, it’s gonna be even better !
Looks great. I loved flying that in fsx and even tried to email Franz to see if he was making it for FS2020. Never heard back. Appreciate you being respectful of his copyrighted work, but can you tell me if you used the regular conversion tools that are out there? I haven’t tried them yet, but would love to use the paramotor on this amazing scenery . Thanx
Hey everyone. I built a PPG simulator in 2009, and I’m looking to use Frantz’s PPG model in MSFS. (I purchased it back when I was using FSX some years ago). I performed the import into MSFS, and the model looks pretty good (other than the wing not deflatinig), but the flight characteristics are terrible (and unfortunately I lost my aircraft.cfg files that I created for FSX). Has anyone updated the flight cfg file in MSFS for this model?
Maybe you could boost the file from the MSFS adapted Aircreation trike. That thing flies more like a paramotor than a weight shift trike. And Yes, I have owned and flown both in real life.
Hi, I am back flying the paramotor and did some improvements to it. Big kudos to @WorldNinjaYoshi for the excellent flight model.
I spent few hours in ModelconverterX and managed to remove all the buggy instruments and texture artefacts, I also removed the Gopro attached the stick. No the model is clean.
The update is very good , I’ve seen some videos of FRANZ LUFTFAHRT and the engine sounds are very good, my bodyshakers vibrated with the engine revs, too bad you can’t share.
This would be really good in VR. I don’t get it, if you still need to purchase the FSX model no matter what, what is the problem with posting instructions on how to import and modify it?
Found this thread after seeing liveries pop up for it on .to - I’m confused. Did it get released somewhere? Why are people posting liveries for something that isn’t shared?
Unfortunately there is no release of this paramotor for MSFS, because it is only private conversions of a payware model for FSX.
I’m just wondering that no developer has built a paramotor for MSFS 2020 yet?
It’s full of bug, texture are not that great and the few instruments are not working, but the overall experience is still very enjoyable !
And Yes, I have owned and flown both in real life.
