Gliders as airport vehicles?

Featured Replies

Over the last few days, maybe even a week, airports are over run with gliders with no visible means of propulsion zooming all over the place! (slight over exaggeration for comic effect)

I've had the statutory search of the interwebs and found that this is a known irritation but no explanation or cure. 

I've also played with settings but nothing gets rid of them.

Ideas?

Oh. 2024

Hmmmmm, I've been talking about gliders here at the forum lately... 🤣🤣🤣

In other news my local glider field often has a stray business jet or regional airliner parked up.

Ron, I have seen this too...I don't recall where I was but it was an international in the US. After having a good laugh I just departed and never investigated further. Sorry I don't have any helpful solutions, just thought I'd say, 'not just you.'

Cheers Choco, let's hope it'll go away on it's own. I'm trying to love 2024 but there are so many little 'irritations' in it. Like this and crappy player labels and doubtless something else is in the wings (not a pun) to get me worked up anew.

If anyone is interested it's Settings/Online/Aircraft Traffic Type = Off
