The DG Flugzeugbau DG-800 series is a family of 15 metre and 18 metre single-seat gliders and motor gliders produced by Glaser-Dirks since 1993 and by DG Flugzeugbau GmbH after 1997. It is the successor to the DG-400 and the DG-600 models. DG808S is 18m wing span competition glider. This modification has 150 pounds thrust retractable jet engine installed, which can be used for taking off or flight sustain.

If you are not planning to use engine, after flight starts on the runway press READY TO FLY immediately. If you need an engine, wait for ~10 seconds until it spins up, only then press READY TO FLY button.

As an alternative, you can use Kinetic Assistant application - it provides winch and tow functionality (animated ropes only in payware version). Same as thermals simulation - you can place thermals in soaring area manually or get hotspots from API server in one click (best coverage in central Europe).

To participate in competitions, or load just train your skills on proposed routes, you may try MSFS ALBATROSS competitions app

Will surely give this one a try...

Never flew anything like that "Rolls-Royce" IRL, but it's even  free in MFS !

The Discus 2C is also very nice !
