J.Schweigler 203 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Do you have Cumulus and Simprobe installed? You can do a nixe ridgeride in Dillingham with simprobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk 5 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yeah, i have simprobe & cummulusX, is there any way of getting hold of some slope data for Dillingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 4, 2009 Aerosoft Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yeah, i have simprobe & cummulusX, is there any way of getting hold of some slope data for Dillingham?

J.Schweigler 203 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 You don't need a database. If simprobe is running, just set the wind against the ridge and have fun. It is all calculated automaticly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk 5 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 The plan from my first Discus flight Zakk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Cool! Did you know that simprobe can log IGC Files? IGC is the standard log format for real glider pilots. If you log your flights in FSX you can read them out and optimize like real glider pilots! Very cool feature. The plan is to make real online competitions with the discus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlinman 9 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Just downloaded this and went for my first NZ ride from Mt Cook to Glentanner, having set up a westerly breeze with Cumulus X running. Used Winch X to get going and rode the terrific lift along the east side of this glacial valley...fantastic! The winch and the sailplane are perfect together, and the sounds...... . Simply incredible. Barely made it to Glentanner but did land safely...just. The sideslip capability is terrific! Thanks for a real quality glider...bravo!

Klemm-35 13 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I just downloaded it and came back from the first flight, which was a 100 km x-country and I can only say A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Unfortunately I have never flown the Discus in real, but I have about 500 h on different gliders, many hours on the LS-4 and Duo-Discus and I fly acrobatics with gliders as well. I must really say that I have never flown a plane in FS which felt so real as the Discus. It goes even through a stall turn as it should! Congratulations Joachim and Aerosoft! So, now I have to go and read the manual. The first landing was outfield right away, cause stupid me didn't manage to retract this *%"^*% turbo..

flyfalcon 1 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 @Joachim & Team: Thank you so much for this amazing glider! I finally got a good glider that I can fly during weak thermal weekends in real life... BTW: The C4 is extraordinary!

hjcurtis 7 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'd just like to add my name to the list of Glider X fans! I downloaded my copy yesterday and this has considerably renewed my interest in FSX. A superb product, opening up a host of new challenges in FSX - well done to all concerned. I hope this is the start of a whole series of glider products for FSX. Fond memories of flying the T31B Cadet, T38 Grasshopper and the T21B Sedburgh in real life years ago (and, more recently, the ASK13) - here's hoping you can attempt some of these in due course! Gets my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
