i think M$ is way behind in the soaring end still, I played a tow at oshkosh and it was pretty cruddy, and with Condors Patch 9 coming out soon and a Condor V2 on the horizon, id rather just see more sceneries for condor (or a worldwide scenery like MS)
-
You can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul.../downloads.html also
Have you seen the DG808S wing? (downward bend) - never seen anything like that on a real life DG808 - the video on the site shows it being towed with the wing in that state -hope that gets fixed.
When i flew a tow (behind the maule) @ oshkosh, it was pretty crappy (with wings bent down) and the rope was messed up (looked like it was looping behind the wing and always flailing around in the wind like it wasnt even hooked up), and towing at 80-90kts :[
-
Hmmm, I wonder if in the mulit sessions, if a user can tow another user :], could make for some fun formation aerobatics
-
Forgive me if I don't get to exited.
To get the most out of FS10 you will need a brand new puter AND operating system. Me thinks many will be staying with FS9 untill they win the lottery :cry:
Ya all very good points, but, it will just make our virtual world all the more realistic with aerotow (dont really need the thermals)
(And yes i did get a little to excited... and need to win the lottery :vv: lol)

found a little more from AVSIM :yahoo:
New Features
MS Flight sim has always included a sailplane. Have you ever noticed that there wasn’t a towplane to go along with the sailplane? There is now. The dynamics of towing an aircraft aloft isn’t accomplished with a towrope made of steel. The rope moves accordingly with taught and slack periods as the two planes work in tandem to get aloft.
-
taken from an article on simflight.com on FSX -
There is also NO WAY yet that we can comment on some of the things.. like performance, DX10, and some other issues.
What CAN we tell you?
Here are some new features:
- tow planes for the gliders, and realistic thermals - wild animals running around the African plains and elsewhere
- TWO versions of FSX, and a trial option
- 'missions' to add a 'game' element
- Tower Control - guide other on-line players
- SDK included in the (pro) product
- Share a cockpit
- moving traffic on the roads
- (a lot more) animations on the airports
- AI shipping
- updated audio system (mix with speakers AND headset)
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! and with thier new multi engine, we can share flights :], sure home some of these will work in FSX :]

Ohhh
So thats where my 1:22 time came from
I guess lunch can take a bunch of time.
Where can I get the "NOpause" thingy?
Thanks!
-
Just made it around for the first time!
1:22:01 in the ASW-28
Il try the Duo Next and then maybe the Blanik as I have added the US gauges and L-NAV systems to to make an officaial race with it.
-
This is a hard one!
Three time now I have landed out (sucsessfully)!
All going down the tubes after the first turnpoit for me.
I always dive down the ridge on the northern side of the valley that works for a few miles, then I scratch for thermals and land on a road or that little strip back there.
Anyone want to try and set up a multi session?
-
Ill be on a server 69.183.18.149 after 7:00 PM CDT (-6 UTC I think) till I get tired. Hope to see someone to race with!
-

-

And ill be trying it in the new 1-26 if anyone else wnats to declare with me
-

I LOVE IT
Was all of the real schweizer characteristics, especially in stalls and spoiler operation. I had it up for an hour and half on the mindin ridge and im gonna have to fly this one in the race to
Ill have repaints soon!
Its all ways more fun doing metal and fabric repaints than fiberglass cause' you can use all colors!
-
I have the DVD but not the ability to copy it. Its great!
I still cant get to the FTP page!?!
Is there any way someone can post the ridge files for the CCS?
Thanks a bunch

How do we get the ridge file? I cant find any FTp server.
Can someone tell me how to install it to?
Thanks!
