I didn't realise it at the time, I'll swear to that, but I have set that small hang glider launch spot at a great location. There's an FSX built-in thermal just forward and left after launch and you can circle for hours there. I just have been. It tops out at around 5000 but for a hang glider, it's great.
By the way, I like gliding and have quite a lot in the hangar here too. Glider strip with a winch next? Or air tow?
Anyway, here I am at around 5000 wondering when I'll be able to come down... I don't have a bottle on board and "raining" on Totem Bight is not on, is it?
In the picture you can see I am heading over my launch point. The view over the FTx Pacific Fjords area from up here is simply amazing! I don't think it'd take much doing to even reach the paintshop strip over the water from here.
Also very much worth having if you are into gliding are Sim-Probe, CumulusX and WinchX. Cumulus X gives you "real" ridge soaring effects and winch X gives you a might powerful winch. Now.. let me see about crossing the water to Eagleskinner's place...
