November 4, 20205 yr I wonder how, along the run, ASOBO could bring soaring weather to the platform... Simply feeding the sim with "model" data isn't going to do the "miracle", but I would really love to be able to soar over the best scenery I ever experienced in any flightsim, using thermals, convergence, even wave !

November 4, 20205 yr Yup. Looking forward to that being possible. My fave gliding airfield is actually there in the sim and quite accurate too but it's not the same landing there with an engine! Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

Mine would be Bidford, but I haven't checked it out in the sim yet. I hope when the gliding pack is introduced (probably payware DLC) that we can get a tug from a Cub or something. That would be great. Edited November 4, 20205 yr by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

November 4, 20205 yr Camphill Derdyshire. Unlike most sims it is actually in MSFS as a legit aifield. It is about 30 miles ESE of Manchester Airpot if you want to check it out. Good ridge soaring site in real life and challenging to fly from owing to much winshear. Also very near to where 617 Sqn trained for the Dambuster raids as Derwent Reservoir and Dam was similar topography to the targets in the Ruhr, so very picturesque and historically interesting too.

Meh, just wanted to post a screenshot for Chock to confirm if the Camphill we have in X-Plane is the one he was talking about... can´t figure out how this imagehosting business works, well I probably could if I wanted to. It is just so antique to not be able to upload images directly, I don´t really want to support this stance with putting in any effort 😆. Cheers, Jan
