Get a grip of your gliders in MSFS...this short config guide may help 👍

[@Jim610]

In modern gliders the "spoilers" are called airbrakes. Also, they are not used to "slow" the glider down. Pitch attitude is used to control speed. The airbrakes are used to increase rate of decent. At least that is how we teach it.

[@SimHangerFS]

Good to know, thanks

[@ChrisMills1946]

I'm converting to the DG1001E NEO and programming my HOTAS system, I needed control of the airbrakes, so initially programmed Button 3 as a toggle. Crude but effective. My preferred approach is a standard circuit with 100 Km/H on final, nose pointing to threshhold. Much better to have incremental airbrakes, so I programmed the [ key to increase (think of a hand catching airflow) and ] to decrease - analog control of airspeed like a throttle. Hold the 100 Km/H to short finals, move to max airbrakes and round out and land as usual. Thanks for the guide - lots of useful tips.

[@briancrawley8440]

Excellent again thank you Mark. Time for my glider practice now 🙏

[@SpatialGuy77]

Wow, I'll have to have a go at that. I am a glider (sailplane) instructor here in Australia. It will be very interesting to see ho close it is to real. Actually, I should say I was an instructor, before a horrible accident, but I still remember my favourite activity in the world like I flew yesterday. The config guide is awesome of you! Ie you are awesome! 😊

[@Sorarse]

2:08 Just to clarify that spoilers/airbrakes in a glider aren't primarily used to slow you down; that's done using the elevator. Spoilers are used to increase your rate of descent, by 'spoiling ' the lift over a section of the wing.

[@ClaxMaxtron]

Super useful video, thanks for making it!

[@weircottage]

Very useful, thank you!

[@zenair250]

Once again Mark, another great and informative video. Thanks very much.

[@mariuszmisiewicz-ny7gt]

Hello , I watch you and admire your work , good job. I have a question for you and maybe for other members of glider enthusiasts in msfs, can you assign a knob in the controller that smoothly regulates the volume of the variometer? thanks for the answer.

[@marcusmaracus]

Thanks for this... is there any way of backing up controller profiles to a seperate drive, just in case MS muck something up with an update!... has happened once before and is hell of a job setting them all back up again. Were would I go hunting for my controller profile config files?

[@SimHangerFS]

There isn’t as far as I am aware…unfortunately.

[@msflight9409]

Hello Mark. Thank you for this nice video and guideline! Do you have the reverse axis for the spoiler axis still thicked? And do you know if ‘power engine’ is programmable to a button? I searched but can’t find an option for it. Grt

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes ticked, but up to you. Master switch doesn’t respond unfortunately

[@msflight9409]

@@SimHangerFS Thank you Mark!

[@muellerforte]

Can you tell what the settings were for Location, Time, Date and Airport when you recorded the video? I want to recreate the sunset for a flying experience. Airport seems to be Lugano, ....

[@tymonk7]

And what about joystick sensitivity? Leave it at default -50% or change?

[@AstrogeoJay]

Is there a keybind to start the motor on the neo?

[@briancrawley8440]

Thanks

[@SimHangerFS]

Thank you kind sir, channel support very much appreciated. 😀

[@elkcircle7245]

1:05 - hopefully not cutting the tow rope, just releasing it!

[@zoe..d]

No ability for negative flap? It's used for high speed flight...

[@romanlisovoy3098]

Are you using a computer or Xbox?

[@WuTangChillaBee]

If John Pilger did sim reviews 😂

[@williamfichtner2131]

first

[@LWJCarroll]

Thanks Mark, really well timed….do you know what the Spoilers 0-100%. Is intended to do? 🎉🎉🎉. Laurie. NZ.

[@SimHangerFS]

You would use this on some older slider axis peripherals
