sf4JC 1 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Don, I guess I'm confused with FSX and slope soaring. I thought in order to have slope lift available, a person needed to create it. Were these flights slope or thermal flights, or both?When I forget to turn on CCS2004, I get no lift in the ridge area I'm flying in. But with it turned on, I do. Did Microsoft add slope lift to FSX in certain areas of the world?Also, I guess I assumed a person could only slope soar in "missions". Did I assume this wrong?sf4JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf4JC 1 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I am using the default thermal lift on these Andes flights.DonThanks for clearing that up for me, although, I started getting my hopes up that Microsoft added slope lift with SP1. I haven't soared but a few times since I downloaded it because I've been flying powered flight looking at scenery and also adding this P-38 to my collection. I'm really looking forward to the fall release in hopes of joining or even possible planning soaring events in multiplayer competition. I had this plane so I painted it up for pylon racing. The car is from the NR2003 sim.sf4JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
