If you love flying low, fast, and close…
-Fixed an issue where lesson tutorials would incorrectly start with the Paramotor instead of the Paraglider. -Fixed an issue that allowed multiple challenges to be active at the same time. -Added induced drag to the Paraglider, Paramotor, Speedwing, and Powered Speedwing Trike.
