BrightStar Swift for FSX and FS2004. The SWIFT, for SWept Wing with Inboard Flap for Trim, was designed by a team at Stanford University led by Dr. Ilan Kroo, and developed through a collaborative effort with BrightStar Gliders as a high performance foot-launched sailplane, Although it is a fully-cantilevered rigid wing with aerodynamic controls and flaps, it weighs only about 100 lbs and is easily transported on the top of a car. Almost doubling the performance of conventional hang gliders at the time it was introduced,it dominated several competitions and was subsequently allowed to compete only in a separate class.

Many pilots have flown the SWIFT for 100-200 miles. BrightStar originally manufactured SWIFTs in the U.S. but subsequently sold the licence to the Belgian company Aeriane This model made with g-Max features full aircraft animations and a running pilot during landing and take-off,detailed VC cockpit and custom built gauges.

You guys gotta bring this into MSFS.

Is it possible to get this for X-Plane? As well as other hang gliders and swift 3D.

This is one of the best planes i have for FSX. It is extremely well modeled and done, like the guys running legs and even his jeans textures! The whole package is awesome and the saved flight is a god spot to glide around.
