My New Glide

Well, I got a really nice glider and scenery and wanted to share.

First, the panel:

Next, the amazing vc:

This really is amazing.  There is a lot of detail, like a working yaw string.  The pilots hand moves the control stick, and his legs work the rudder pedals.

One of the best features of this glider is it has a simulated winch launch.  No more slewing, just pick an altitude, flick the switch, and in 20 seconds, the winch begins to pull you up.

The exterior model is amazing as well.  The pilot tilts his head with aileron movement as well as the usual rudder look thing

And finally, two picks of this Harris Hill scenery I got

The glider (a Schleicher ASW-28) can be found at http://virtualsoaring.org/aircraft/aircraft4.html

And the scenery is at Flightsim, search for 'Harris Hill'

This glider is definately payware quality, and everyone should go out and get it, and forget about the default schweizer.

Soaring is not my favorite thing to do (though I do it for fun from time to time...)

Nonetheless, thanks for the links and great screenies!
