Wolfgang Piper makes a pretty nice 2-33. :ernae:

thanks, i am starting glider instrution in real life in one of these, and my dad
(im 14) was shoure there was one some verson of fs, so i wanted to surprise him with one.

also is there a way to get to altitude other than climbing as somthing else (in my case a f-15) such as being towed

IIRC, most of Herr Piper's gliders feature a 'virtual engine' which simulates a winch launch, you just set the desired cut-off altitude,click the button/switch and away you go.

All necessary files are included in his downloads.

Wolfgang did a good job on this one, flies like the real thing, including the "less than good" 23:1 glide ratio

On the left column of the fsglider page, scroll down to "LINKS", click, then select SOAR for another web page dedicated to soaring. There are many tips & tricks, help from fellow enthusiasts, etc., available. Also try the link to "Peter Lurkens Homepage". Scroll down to "Utilities for Flight Simulator 2004--Automatic Thermal Scenery Generator".

Thermals

A search at AVSIM library using the word "thermals" produced 20 pages of thermal sceneries. I'm sure the same search at flightsim will produce many as well.
