Hi Matthew. Gliding in XP is fun. Not as variable as Cumulus X for FSX, but still fun. Ridge lift is simulated quite well in XP (depending on wind speed and direction), plus thermals. The thermals aren't automatically variable as with Cumulus X, but good enough in my opinion. I actually enjoy soaring in XP better than in FSX. As far as scenery, I don't really know of any photo scenery for soaring areas. Maybe someone else could recommend something. On a side note, I am almost finished with my second project- a PIK-20D sailplane. :(

Here is a preview of my PIK-20D I'm working on:pikd.jpg
