[[ | === ICARO Laminar 13 MRX === | ||
There is a new aircraft model in [[FGAddon]]: The '''[[Icaro Laminar 13 MRX]]'''. It is an advanced weight-shift controlled hanglider build by ICARO in the early 2000s. | |||
The aim of this project is to create a '''generic''' hang glider, which is as realistic as possible but therefore derivates a bit from the ''real'' Laminar 13, but gives an overall realistic feeling of steering a hang glider. | |||

The FlightGear project always needs screenshots, which show features that were added since the last release. These should be of good quality, especially in content and technical image properties. It is therefore recommended to use the best viable filter settings ([[anti-aliasing]], texture sharpening, etc.).
