Hi Noud the easiest way is to slew the aircraft (press y to enter slew mode and then hit F4 to climb like a rocket). Upon reaching the desired height hit Y again to turn off slew and away you go ;)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

If you thinkl that slewing is unrealistic, I believe there is some kind of gauge you can download, which replicates the glider being launched into the air by a cable.  Sorry i don'tknow more but have never taken an interest in the glider myself, someone else may be able to help you further.

I use slew as ozzy explained, but if you load one of the preloaded glider flights you start in the air

try getting a plane you can fly. then once you get it in the air pause the game and change it to the glider. the glider will be were the other plane was.(in the air)

Never a shortage of "work arounds." ;D

I bring up the map view, select an altitude and speed and off I go  8)
