Soaring Simulator4/17/2021
We focus on the scenery but having a real simulation of air flowing over relief will bring gliding simulation to a new level of realism.When I first heard about the wind flowing over terrain and buildings actually being simulated the first thing that came to mind was of course ridge gliding.Im very curious if we will be able to use it for this purpose and whether we will also see turbulence simulated on the lean side way over the ridge and things like that.
Now that sets the base for some really cool and advanced gliding simulation. As gliding is by far the most accessible way of flying (at least in my country) it would be really nice to see it properly simulated. With all the detail in the scenery it will finally also be fun to go on a trip with a glider. ![]() This keeps all videos in one forum, but will allow discussion of the video here in the MSFS forum. Soaring Simulator Call Condor2There is the fantasticly real glidingsoaring simulator call Condor2 - the competition soaring simulator with VR. Its the recent followup to the original Condor which has been around for many years and is critically acclaimed by virtually all real world glider pilots, including me. No doubt about it MSFS scenery and graphics are going to substantially surpass it. However if MSFS can simulate all the various types of favourable gliding conditions as well as Condor does Ill be very very impressed indeed. Im MSFS LD always grows with speed,instead of the optimal LD being achieved at higher speeds with increased ballast. But there are many others that could probably be fine tuned with a multi-surface model, depending on how it really gets implemented.
