LEGACY · OPEN ACCESS
The 2020 archive.
Every hang glider and tow plane THGF has cut for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 — all of it free, all of it standalone. One download is one aircraft: unzip it into your Community folder and fly. Nothing here needs a base package, a subscription or an account.
And nothing here expires. Every package in this archive runs unchanged in MSFS 2024, so it stays airworthy long after you upgrade.
What's on the shelf.
Filed under the same categories as the MSFS 2024 catalog. A category with an empty shelf was drawn for the 2024 modular architecture and has no 2020 equivalent — yet.
Single Surface
2 on file
THGF Hawk
A classic single surface hang glider for MSFS 2020. One complete simobject with full flight model, cockpit instrumentation, and liveries. Free and is your introduction to hang gliding simulation.
Wills Wing Falcon 4
The iconic Wills Wing Falcon 4 single surface hang glider for MSFS 2020. One complete simobject with full flight model and liveries. Free.
King Post
shelf emptyNo king post glider has been cut for MSFS 2020. This category was drawn for the 2024 modular architecture from the first line — if a 2020 build is ever cut, it lands here, free and standalone like the rest.
See the 2024 package →Topless
shelf emptyNo topless glider has been cut for MSFS 2020. This category was drawn for the 2024 modular architecture from the first line — if a 2020 build is ever cut, it lands here, free and standalone like the rest.

shelf emptyNo spoiler glider has been cut for MSFS 2020. This category was drawn for the 2024 modular architecture from the first line — if a 2020 build is ever cut, it lands here, free and standalone like the rest.

shelf emptyNo rigid wings glider has been cut for MSFS 2020. This category was drawn for the 2024 modular architecture from the first line — if a 2020 build is ever cut, it lands here, free and standalone like the rest.
See the 2024 package →The tow fleet.
Flatland flying needs a tug. Both 2020 tow planes are standalone packages on the same terms as the gliders — free, self-contained, and still flyable in MSFS 2024.

What a 2020 package is.
The 2020 archive and the 2024 catalog are built on different architectures. Neither replaces the other — this is what separates them.
Monolithic
One package is one aircraft — airframe, sail, cockpit and liveries in a single simobject. Nothing plugs into anything else.
Free, always
Every file in this archive is free to download. No purchase, no tier, no Patreon. Sign in and take what you want.
Runs in 2024
MSFS 2020 packages fly unchanged in MSFS 2024. Upgrading your sim never strands anything you downloaded here.
Where 2024 goes further
The 2024 catalog is modular: a shared category container with variants, liveries and add-ons, plus the EFB, full variometer and IGC logging.
The MSFS 2024 catalog picks up where the archive stops — one category container per glider type, every variant and livery plugging into the same airframe.
