How to take off with sailplanes… Version 2 . new version of file "how to take off with gliders". I prepared for this technology 2 new gauges switch for sailplanes (include source files. This material describes one of methods, how take off with sailplane. FS98 and FS2000 haves two major mistakes for sailplane pilots - missing take off possibility and missing updraft lift under the clouds. Second problem was solved by Ed Dumas Sr.. Because a usual method of take off with slew commands is not very realistic and satisfied, I am using for all my sailplanes virtual "jet engine", which simulate regular take off. This technology we can call for example VET (virtual engine technology). Include modified 'air' files for 6 sailplanes. 1.3MB. By M.Koch
