Paramotor in v4

Found this thread while searching for a light vehicle to explore airports in an easy way by keyboard only, as the Bell 47 as a heli needs action on my yoke an pedals.
I remembered that I bought the Franz Paramotor some years ago for FSX but didn't expect to work.

Today, after reading this, saw that I could still download it from simmarket, so gave it a try - and voilà: works like a charm (Prepar3d V4.5 HF2).
Installation was simple as the installer asks only for the "FSX installation directory", I selected the Prepar3d V4 main folder.
Now the last hours jumped from airport to airport for short starts and circles, funny again as before in FSX 🤣

Thanks for this thread !

Yeah I too found the paramotor from older threads and it is great to fly around (P3D v4.5 HF3).

Does have a few issues though.

Duplications in the aircraft.cfg file, easily fixed by commenting or removing the second set (the duplications) as P3D will use the first set by default.

Also it's a bit hard to tell what the paints are so I renamed the titles and for organisation in the P3D aircraft pick list I added.

ui_createdby="Franz Luftfahrt Simulation Software"

to the aircraft.cfg in each [fltsim.x] section.

There are also a couple of gauge issues, however those are a bit beyond me being able to resolve atm.

Fun flying around LOWI area, probably be great for VR :-)
