The Most realistic Gliding Ever In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!

[@antonioiozzi291]

Real life glider pilot here. It is the most exciting way of flying but ... absolutely not relaxing! You are always in search of thermals and when you don't find them ... oh oh .... it is a very serious sport flying and the skill you accumulate flying a glider is second to none. In MSFS has come the king of school gliders, the ASK21. I have learn to fly on them, did my solo and SLP licence examination in one of them. Lovely and relatively easy to fly. The Stemme instead is very difficoult to fly even for a very experienced pilot. There are two on my RL airport (only about 40 avalaible in the whole world!). I have flown that of one of my flying instructor, more then 50 efficiency, spectacular aerodynamics but... won't land and that narrow and high undercarriage is good if you are in search of trouble. Perfect landing is a must if you want survive. Thanks AvAngel!

[@StemmeUSA]

It is complex for sure, and certainly more so than a typical glider. However once you get the hang of it, it is an absolute dream to fly!

People rave about the fabulous airliners with all their computer systems and automation BUT....if you really want to fly and learn how to control an aircraft then the glider is the way! It is you and the elements, your skill counts for everything and there is little more rewarding that a good landing after a successful flight. The gliders are not bad in FS2020 but 2024 looks incredible,,,,,,

[@leroyabernathy9934]

Once upon a time, a long, long, time ago, I managed a commercial glider operation in Texas where I flew the operation's Super Cub tow plane and gave demo glider rides to prospective pilots and fun seekers in the venerable Schweizer SGS 2-33, but there is nothing like a high performance glider. I used to get a tow in our Lark to 3000 AGL and then kick off to soar for hours among the endless cloud streets while listening to classics on my Sony Walkman. (Yeah, it was that long ago). Soaring is by far, the most relaxing type of flying one can do. Like sailing, after learning the basics, proficient soaring is really more art form than just a skill. The challenge is always there and always changing. On the other hand, ag flying and jump planes are the most unrelaxing forms of GA flying one can do and may explain why I could relax totally in a sailplane. I mean, after all, what could happen in a sailplane? The engine might quit? Not really a problem when the aircraft has a 40 or 50 to 1 L/D. Those who "land out" typically don't know what they are doing. I never saw that happen, despite the fact we had pilots take their aircraft on long, all day cross country flights to return just before dark. In some cases reality was even stranger than a sim anomaly. Often I would look out to find a large bird of prey, usually a hawk or a vulture, flying in close formation. Sometimes they would soar off the wingtip, but often I would find the bird giving me the eye just outside the canopy as I thermaled ever higher, close on the stall. I suppose those birds figured if something this big found food, there would something in it for them. I'll put it this way , soaring is the only type of flying I would ever pay to do again and now I have it in the sim where I, uh, pay to do it again. One of the really neat things about the sim is the cross country. I never had a chance to fly cross country, as my position required I stay close to the field. Old habits die hard and at first this is what I did in the sim until I realized the sailplane was equipped with an auxiliary jet engine and I had the teleport feature as well. So I began flying long cross countries. In the sim its was no big deal to catch thermals along the way. Although I would like to see an improvement in ridge lift dynamics. Just leave out those rotors that are most unrelaxing. I had trouble initiating the tow plane launch until I figured out that it was the rudder that signaled the launch, just as it does in nonvirtual life. But whoda thunk it? As I said, it was a long, long, time ago. One thing missing is wake turbulence when on tow. It's hard to "box the wake" when there isn't one. By the way, standard procedure for collision avoidance is for the sailplane to break right upon release while the tow plane breaks hard left to go into a steep, spiraling descent back to the field. Those were the days, long, long, ago. ~ Flyingwrench ~

[@AvAngel]

A fantastic tale! I really enjoyed reading this recollection! Thank you for posting it! On the point of wake turbulence, that's a definate feature of 2024, will make towing interesting!

[@SkyborneVisions]

There's no better way to develop "stick and rudder" skills than as a glider pilot. As you said, you're forced to focus on energy management, which also includes scanning the landscape for a place to land if the next thermal or ridge lift doesn't pan out... a good habit to get into as a powered pilot in case of engine failure. The high aspect ratio of the wings means you need to actually use your feet to stay coordinated--which is also a good habit you're forced to become proficient at. Also, you become much better at reading the sky, the terrain and the clouds around you, which not only makes you a better pilot in general for noticing weather patterns "on-the-fly", but makes you a much safer pilot in mountainous conditions, and with that knowledge, taking advantage of (and being mindful of dangers) flying around high altitude terrain with a powered aircraft too. I once heard of light twin that lost an engine over the Sierra Nevada mountain range, but was able to use mountain waves to stay above the mountains which were much higher than its single engine ceiling.

Who ever made this start with the winch - this is not hoe it is done 😅 Don’t push the stick forward so soon. Wait until you got the maximum height and the glider will level itself. You didn’t even got 30% of the possible altitude. But thanks fir the great content! Very excited to play it 😍 If you are interested in a very realistic glider sim - especially ultra realistic physics - try Condor soaring. Highly recommended in VR. So much better then MSFS except the detail of terrain and texture. But a lot smoother and doesn’t eat your GPU like msfs doas

[@StevenHickingbottom]

Thanks for supporting gliding and the work that GotFriends have done whilst not forgetting Ian Lewis (B21) for his great avionics. Let's hope that thermals improve in 2024 so that RL memorable flights can be re-enjoyed in the fantastic digital twin that is coming soon. In the meantime ridge soaring in the Alps is a real pleasure in the wonderful AS33 Me which will no doubt be updated for 2024 by Ian Lewis. Let's hope that gliders form part of the Career mode, preferably with the sort of trainer that thousands of us learnt on like the ASK13 or ASK21 before moving on to a more advanced trainer for cross country soaring.

Looking forward to this. Been in the Airliners and enjoy the programming. But after 2k hours in MFS, even if most was in general aviation, i just can't do airliners anymore as soon as the departure is done, so am i. Would be cool if there was a job type to set up the plane, fly the departure and then finish, say the other pilot takes over. But the gliders and helos are going to be great i think. Even in MFS i managed to have a 2hr flight over south east Krete in a glider. Lot's of updraft from the wind hitting the mountains there. Irl have flown RC only and when i went to RC gliders, that was a whole new way of flying, it is fantastic. A whole different mindset and very different type of fun. I miss that.

[@ViewBothSides]

Hello, first time I've heard my name mentioned in a KZbin video (Ian aka B21) so thanks, I'll now wait for the Hollywood offers to roll in. The LS8 & DG1001 are suspiciously similar to how they are in MSFS2020 but there's a possibility those might get an update - the DG is more feasible in terms of instruments as at least that has a panel modelled in. The Stemme (pronounced Shtemma if you want to impress your friends) is a modelling work of genius by GotFriends and I can confirm it has a flightmodel which closely matches the real plane's polar and the vario/nav are the most functionally capable so far including anything so far in the freeware gliders. The Stemme is fun to power launch and transition to glider mode with comfy side by side seating, but probably isn't going to be the glider of choice for the racers, and GotFriends are aware of that. There's a comment below re aerotow launch in MSFS2020 & I have to say I disagree with it, IMHO aerotow being the main thing MS did get pretty decent for gliding in that sim and we all use it routinely. Overall I'm fairly positive for gliding in MSFS2024, it'll be an uptick on 2020 and we're already making good use of that sim. Thanks very much for posting this enjoyable 'review'.

The thing MSFS really needs for gliding is support for competitions, multiplayer races etc. Hopefully the weather model has improved because it wasn't great before, and flight model updates and modelling local assets etc is one thing, but what glider pilots want from a simulator is the ability to race using checkpoints. I hope this is something easy for the developers to add in later if it isn't in the released game.

Thanks for the review. I was clutching the sides of my seat during those 51 knot glides a couple of hundred feet above the ground, thinking when are you going to land. Need to pull back much more on the winch launch. Looks nice but will remain very marginal for real glider pilots until we get proper thermals, ridge lift, etc which can be properly modeled into the flight. Until then Condor will remain the standard and of course Condor includes multiplayer contest flying which is an essential element for many sailplane pilots.

But the more time I spend watching MSFS content (and just aviation content in general) the more I realized how fascinating it is watching a guy fly through some of the most remote places ever (looking at you Alaska) or, how much thought actually goes into gliding around

[@gliderfan6196]

With all due respect, calling the unfinished, unlaunched product "the most realistic gliding ever" is a bit of an overstatement. Have you ever tried Condor 2? This sim is dedicated to gliders, you cannot fly anything else, and the thermals, waves, and generally speaking, atmospheric simulation is something MSFS and X-Plane can only dream of. For two years, the gliding community has been asking for the implementation of gliders into MSFS. Then there was a great update and - in my tongue, we have the saying "the mountain gave birth to a mouse". It was terrible, the thermals were modelled all wrong, they did not react correctly to the time of day, wind direction, surface, cloud coverage and the like. The relationship between thermals and clouds, if any, did not reflect the real world. Ridge soaring was modelled in an unrealistic way. That is why there is no glider pilot I know of who would use MSFS for leisure flying or for training. All glider pilots, including the pros, like instructors and competition racers, use Condor 2 for training and fun. I have no financial interest in C2, to make things straight. I simply do not believe the '24 would be any better in this respect. I hope it will be, but MSFS/Asobo already failed in this department. And, last but not least, the selection of gliders is far from impressive. These things are not glider pilots (of course, I cannot speak for everyone) would like to see. But what I would welcome would be Blanik, BOciam, Junior, Puchacz, Diana, ASK, ASW (many variants), Ka, and so on. Good birds that are still used in many Clubs everywhere, flying history and at the same time the present day reality. Those rare experimental motor gliders are... well strange. What is the chance that I could ever fly in the real thing? Second to none. The whole purpose of flying the sim is to pursue the dream, to feed the dream that becomes the urge, that becomes that imperative and one day you find yourself in the real thing...

Hopefully we will see many of those made for the 3rd party market. No one genre of aircraft gets tons of options by default so no there’s not many. Why call it the best? Because it’s going to be a huge leap forward . Remember I’ve actually played it, this isn’t hyperbole

@@AvAngel does this also apply to gliders?

Thank you 💓 💓 💓 !

One thing I haven't heard a lot about. I've got a PC myself but what about the Xbox pilots nobody's talked about them not even KZbinrs

[@AvAngel]

I mean, there's nothing to talk about between PC and Xbox currently... because this sim is... the same for both. We've only been able to test on pc, and I am a PC pilot so... yeah, nothing to say?

Stemme is pronounced "Shtemme". also at the end it is pronounced with "e" and not with "i"/"y" It's a german name😉

My bad :D It was said that way to me so I repeated it, but I blame Americans for that :D I'd have said it differently with a Sch

I think in terms of graphics this game will be a big disappointment to most of us. When i see at what distance the details of the fields load in I assume there won't be a big difference to msfs 2020 in most cases.

I can’t even tell you what the settings are in these clips but I’ve seen a variety so it’s not straightforward

I hope the people that program the gliders have more understanding about soaring than the people flying the gliders in the video footage. Low, slow, aweful winch launch. The outlanding demonstrated 0 knowledge, of field or approach selection, speed selection.. even the field direction was completely wrong. The physics felt aweful on that outlanding.. if you put a DG 1000 (of all gliders) on its nose in any situation. The thing needs 3 people on the nose to lift the tail.. has a 60cm or so high gear... ) At least soaring in MSFS2020 felt.. clunky. I hope to be proven wrong.

[@AvAngel]

Yeah that's stock footage, probaly someone just doing a quick test flight. From what i know it's absolutely a bad example, but the ONLY example I had of gliders in 24.

[@porkfang]

I want to see a glider do 430 kts!!

Dat voice :/

Is amazing, I know.

[@Swaggerlot]

Gliding simulation will never be any good until they really perfect a new force feedback joystick. No value whatsoever without it, bar the cosmetic.

[@MrLuumpy]

Trees in places they obviously shouldn't be. Different day, different sim, same sim issues. Good grief.

[@AvAngel]

it's autogen, it cannot be perfect all the time, its the planet, have some paitence.
