Microlight aka Powered Paraglider

Recommended Posts

Microlight WIP Topic



Im currently building my 1st ever aircraft addon from scratch. Its a 350cc Microlight aka a Powered Paraglider. Ive also got permission from CSJ to use part of his addon for this aircraft. So a very big thanks to CSJ for that :)

Heres a few pictures for you all to have a look at ;)

Picture 1 - Whole Model (WIP)

Picture 2 - Engine & Seat (WIP)

Picture 3 - In-game Testing (WIP)

I have no release date worked out either yet as im currently trying to make it fly in game. Even though picture 3 was a picture of it flying in game but it wasn't on my config, i had it on a working config to see if it was ok in game.

Hope you all like it :D

Also if anyone wants to help me scripting this model to fly in game then please give me a pm.

Thankyou :)

Well, you could gain some height first and then turn off the engine and silently approach the target area.

Hmm intresting video, not sure if i take it on though, ill see about it after i finish this project.

A update on the microlight while im posting. It flys in game now, flys nicely but just needs more tweaking as i think it still has its parachute bones, because when its flying it suddnly stops responding to the controls like as if its gliding through the air like a normal parachute :/ Im currently building the view pilot lod which hopefuly wont take long. Then after that theres not much left to do. Ill post some pictures tomorrow of its newish model. Also i want to thank RKSL-Rock for his awsome help hes given me :D Couldnt have got this far without him :)

EDIT : Ive got the new WIP Pictures for you.



Theres only 2 though but it shows what things have been changed. The first one is of the coloured parachute which ive been working on, there is still a multicoloured and blue parachute to come. Still got to find right textures before those coloured parachute take place.

Yellow Parachute (WIP)

The second picture is of the new Engine Design which shows how ive now mounted the engine to the chair which is how it should be.

Glad you got it flying Konyo , looks great so far .

If you do a search in google images for powered parachute ...almost every one that comes up is in the 3 wheel type configuration

Yeah i based my model on the Microlights that fly over my house every summer, so did some research on those aircraft. Thanks for your search though, could see those microlight in a future update maybe :D

New WIP Update!



Ive now put a protected cage around the engine which is found on almost all Microlights. Heres 2 pictures for you to look at. Let me know what you think of it, still WIP so coloures will be cleaned up where the Alpha Channel removed them.
