First Class Simulations brings the thrill of piloting your own glider to your home PC. An inexpensive way to get airborne or an engineless white-knuckle ride, however you view it, Glider Simulator is as real as it gets.
Simulating perfectly the two main soaring techniques that enable gliders to gain altitude, thermalling and ridge lift, the Glider Simulator code was originally designed to help train Sailplane enthusiasts.
Features include:
Responsive and co-ordinated use of the rudder and wings slips in flight for use when approaching the runway
Carefully selected textures allowing the player to enjoy the environment of his or her chosen scenery
Varied Play Options: Fly with a club carefully observing their rules or compete against your colleagues in a championship contest
Educational: Glider Simulator has been formulated using the laws of physics and flight. A careful study of the glider performance capabilities, its polar and how to obtain the best use of it will improve and enhance the player's real-life gliding experience
Glider Simulator faithfully recreates real gliding aerodynamics: Stalls, slips, control feedback, force joystick and the sound of air cascading over the cockpit have all been faithfully reproduced. Using the Weather Model option with two cloud layers, cumulus and stratus, atmospheric movement of highs and lows are simulated perfectly.
Other features include:
A terrain engine which features LOD technology
On-line Play: This option has no limit to the number of players
Webcam: Your webcam can be used for panning in internal view
Glider Simulator will be available November 3rd.
