I'd love to see ultralight/microlight aircraft introduced into the sim at some point 
I might be in the minority here, I tend toward the lighter planes for my flight sim experiences, I enjoy casual flying, airport hopping and exploring using VR.
So there's my formal request to the developers...An ultralight please
I totally agree. I would really like to see a three axis machine such as the CFM Shadow.
The Shadow is a very successful two seat design with an exemplary safety record. The illustrious aviator, David Cook designed and produced the Shadow and many are still flying today, around the world.
or an Air Creation Tanarq would be great.
Or a Triostar Paramotor Trike
higgy, If you like paramotor trikes in flight sim you might be interested in this (if you haven't already seen it) it's early access available on steam...
I Haven't tried it as yet so can't make a comment but the reviews are positive.
Yes .. try it when it was started .. .but not really a big fan of physics and graphics but its OK ....
If IPACS could put together another airplane DLC that focuses on just single engine GA, LSA, Bush Planes, Ultralites I would gladly pay for that. Frankly, I don't think we will be seeing any other commercial 3rd party developers stepping up to do this for Aerofly as there is a bigger market in MFSF 2020 and X-Plane 12.
Here is a list of planes that could be considered as potential candidates:
Aeros-2 Ultralight Trike
American Champion Super Decathlon
Aviat A-1C Husky
Beechcraft Bonanza V35
Cessna 152
Cessna 210 Centurion
Diamond DA20
DiamondDA40
Grob 109
Grumman Tiger AA-5B
Kit Fox/Euro Fox
Maule M-7 235B
Polaris AM-FIB
PiperSport (aka CSA SportCuriser)
Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II
Piper PA-28-181 Archer III
Piper PA-28R Turbo Arrow III
Piper PA-18 SuperCub
Piper PA-38 Tomahawk
Piper PA-32 Saratoga II TC
Pipistrel Sinus Motor Glider
PZL-104 Wilga 2000
Seeker Aviation Seabird Seeker
Tecnam P2002
Some already exist here:
I like that idea of a DLC package offering light aircraft and ultralights
Of course adding a single ultralight to the stock aircraft would be good to !
Me too .... like:
Sirocco nG
Huntair Pathfinder
Rans S6
Rans S10
C22
Quicksilver
Savannah
KFA
Bat Hawk
WT9
VL3
Shark
also :
Gyrocopter (Autogyro)
ParaMotor Trikes
I suspect IPACS makes most of their money from iOS and Android Aerofly FS 20xx sales rather than the more limited PC Aerofly FS 4 sales. So I don't expect to see much more work done for no extra charge, especially the making of additional aircraft (because no third party developer is going to do it either). So a second multiple aircraft DLC package you pay for is going to be the only way to get more professionally designed aircraft models added to it. Mr. Krzysztof Kaniewski's Github repository is appreciated of course, since he is doing what he does for free. But that repository has its limitations since he does not have infinite time to work on fixing things that don't work properly or have not been implemented in the first place for his various offerings.
I have some UL airfields in my sceneries. So yes, would be good to include one or two.
I would pay extra for properly debugged GPS in any light aircraft package. Faults carried over into FS4 were disappointing. I’ll happily pay IPACS more if I do get more.
I just got old steam FSX this week which has allowed me to revive my old PMDG planes (via Aerosoft compatible re-download). I’m not pushing a current competitor here but it doesn’t look all that bad and I can do (essential procedure) navaid audio idents which Aerofly is fundamentally not interested in simulating. The FSX appearance can also be easily modified from excellent YouTube technique videos.
Of course, if I get good quality new DLC, I'm happy to pay for it , if I want that DLC.
I don't have to get anything for free ( except bug fixes ).
I didnt get that anywhere else.
(If I buy a car and the new version of the car has great new features after 12 months...
I PAY for them too (if I want them on my old car too.)
But if the brakes still don't work properly after 6 months on my new car ...
I don't pay for it in the garage/workshop.)
Why should it be different with software ?
I don't know anyone who seriously demands that NEWS THINGS MUST be free?!
So please take my money new (UL) planes please ... and I will of course pay for them.
But I also understand :
there is a risk of investing a lot of time/money before and and then (possibly) generating too few sales.
That is something that I can't assess ...
So a wish (from me) eg. UL-Planes , Autogyro ...nice new sceneries ... whatever is a WISH ..
not more, and has nothing to do ( for me ) with a "free gift" wish ...
End of 90`and begin of 2000 I pay a lot for ms FS Addons ( anyone want this licences / CD`s ? for less money ?) ...
When its good, i will reward this with money ...
When I work .. i also want to get money to pay my life ....

Of my paid third party applications for FS2, I estimate I have the had running in FS4.
But when there is nothing new, or nothing that can be repaired, customers lose patience and go elsewhere.
Unfortunately that's what happens very often here.
With so much finite software improvement time spent on features including Career Development, enhanced enablement of the just sit back and let the app do all the actual flying for you service, 3D opening doors and hatches and what looks like a specialist trailer offshoot from Euro Truck Sim 2 the perceived culture possibly hints at do not expect serious development in Aircraft System Depth, IPACS doesn’t rate it and that’s the way it is going to remain for the foreseeable future.
Aerofly’s Concorde is a fine technical achievement, a more significant nod towards the complexity in the real aircraft might encourage system hungry customers to keep playing ball with Aerofly. Simulating the nuts and bolts is just as worthy as humouring some target depth ideal target audience.
Following Jan and the visiting YouTuber navigating the complex jet transport to a challenging arrival was enthralling! The welcome YouTube video series gave us an unexpected insight into the workings of IPACS and upcoming simulator developments. Can this continue please?
The waypoint list navigation of Concorde’s inertial reference/navigation system sounds a bit like the relatively simple GPS from the FS2 Just Flight add on planes. Can we know if the GPS is tied to the FS2 Just Fly packages or if IPACS have a GPS or Area Navigation in the works for the FS4 planes?
IPACS’ YouTube opened Pandora’s Box, hope and expectation got out.
Looking at the official Aerofly Flight Simulator Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@aerofly just confirms that primary development effort is for smart phone and tablet users who must mostly be native Germans since that is the language for the videos. My personal experience is that the TMD interface documentation is very poor, it consists of only an on-line wiki which does not even list all the TMD objects and for the ones it does have a wiki page for there are often parameters shown in the example code that have no actual documented definition, and it still seems to be FS2 information. Makes if very hard to troubleshoot problem issues in some of Mr Kaniewski's FS4 freeware tmd file conversions. If this is the only level of documentation on the flight model I very much doubt that Just Flight or any other commercial developer or even new freeware guys are going to be producing airplane addon products for Aerofly FS 4, any time soon if ever.
I don't feel qualified enough to make any comment about some of the more technical/developmental aspects that have been mentioned above, I'm not what you would call a 'deep flight simmer' However, when it comes to the VR aspect (Which, quite frankly is the reason I got it in the first place) I think Aerofly have done a remarkable job in that I can create a flight plan from within the headset with relative ease. The in cockpit functionality is excellent, those hands are spot on when operating stick/yoke/switches etc.
From the casual flier point of view it's a good experience, From the VR user point of view it's highly immersive, smooth and enjoyable...But that's just me
