Gliders are the highlight of MSFS

I have just started my gliding adventure as the weather got warmer, flying in LS8 on the southern coast of Turkiye and I have to say this is the most fun Ive had in MSFS in 1.5 year of playing.

The sounds are amazing, the challenge is there, the tension when having to land in the field. Gliding is the highlight of MSFS for me and I hope more pilots will join in on this fun. The longest trip I’ve managed is two weeks of soaring is 320 kilometers.

The thermal simulation works surprisingly good (for a newbie like me), especially with cumulus clouds. Ridge soaring is also a pleasure. Great job Asobo!

Glad you’re enjoying it!

If you ever catch me in a glider, it’s because I ran out of fuel and am Air Canada’ing it Gimli Glider style!

It’s definitely a lot of fun. Try it in VR if you get a chance.
