Iâm a bit sceptical about the use of a glider right now. We still didnât have thermals modeled in the sim and the pack comes with weather presets only.
See this is what bugs me why do you pay for a premium product then have to use another product for part of it to work ?
iâve had the same discussion with them regarding tow planes for this glider if you dont have AI aircraft around or multiplayer then you have to use kinetic assistant to get a tow , now i use the free version a lot and i dont mind for that and it works great but i expected wrongly it seems that on the pay version this might have been installed with it. On another note the weather presets DO have thermals and they work well and its quite fun but you can so all this on the free one if iâm going to pay for something i want it to at least offer more and not be tols to use someone elses program to get something to work
The payware version includes a FES motor, so self-powered. The freeware version doesnât have the motor but does have all the improvements.
You donât need Kinetic Assistant to winch launch, it has itâs own built in winch launcher.
For a tow, youâll just need another aircraft (obviously). Real player or AI works. I spent a happy few hours hanging around the runway threshold at Heathrow getting free tows from departing aircraft.
Live weather works for ridge lift and since SU9 for thermals too.
So in all, you donât need any other software to use either the freeware or payware versions of this glider.
Hi âGot Friendsâ team.
Thank you very much for the Discus-2c.
Although the free version is fantastic Iâll purchase the premium version to honor your efforts to make MSFS 2020 glider-ready.
Thank you very much also to all other enthusiasts for their gliders and their add-ons like Kinetic Assistant, sceneries and so on.
Enjoying easy-flying with a glider in the mountains around the world after a long working day, the other absolutly satisfying matter with this âwonderful peace of softwareâ is the community around the add-ons.
Thank you an go on.
Greetings from Germany.
There are already thermals in live weather though. Itâs probably not entirely developed yet, and improvements should come in the future, but Iâve already done several 2 hour + flights in the Discus in live weather. Hereâs one of them;
Sorry, noob question.
Itâs my understanding that Kinetic Assistant is not strictly needed for this glider.
But what would it add to the gliding experience?
