The Ikarus C42 is a true VFR flying machine – light, responsive, and incredibly fun. Designed for pilots who love hands-on flying, short strips, and scenic touring, this aircraft brings authentic ultralight aviation into MSFS with carefully tuned flight dynamics and detailed cockpit modelling. The machine supports VR but currently limited controller support is offered but we are working on that and hope to release an updated version within the next 4-6 weeks.
