[Insuber]

Just in case you didn't know, gliders DON'T need wind to fly ... and also, be patient with Xifon ... he's ... well ,try to be clever also for him.

Tomatoes are important factor to Italian food.

SPAGHETTI not exist if not have Tomato.
Tomato cooked or raw.


Spaghetti pot


oven control amount and intensity of heat.

You just called Oleg Maddox an idiot! Not directly, but you just explained to a guy making a flight simulator that WIND IS IMPORTANT! Then you went on to explain that gliders need wind to fly. Maybe next you could tell him how to dress himself or tie his shoes. I'm sure he'd appreciate that as well.

Not totally sure but could he be actually asking if the vertical speed as in VSI is going to be modelled?

You soooo made my day! ROFL!

We have wind already in FB/1946; try to take off in a storm!

You do realize he didn't even know about the arrows in IL2, right?

Maybe I should send Xilon the sturmovik.de pilot training night (thunder-)storm?

If you're not familiar with vectors, you'll have hard time studying aerodynamics...

I lolled at this, thank you for the chuckles mate!

Gliders need forward motion through the air to generate lift, just like any other aircraft. They will fly in still air just as well as in a wind. Ultimately it's gravity that powers gliders.

Either way, gliders do not drop like a stone the instant the wind stops blowing

Wind cold or wind hot.
glider airplane.
instrument meteo for take direction and intensity of wind.

We fly without wind.
Did you mean:
Dear Oleg Maddox, if simulator SoW doesn't have thermals that's negative.
thermals are an important physic factor.
gliders won't fly verry long without thermals.
I think you meant that right? otherwise it is just complete nonsense, even now it's stupid.
hot air rises, so can we thermal above burning factories, cities?

Did I say it anywhere?

I think there is a big language barrier being experienced here . May I try to sum things up?

In IL-2, there is wind and turbulence but it is not modeled "well" (the game is 10 years old after all). Flying in a real light aircraft or in a more modern sim dedicated to flight (not combat), the effects of wind are more apparent.

These things (wind and turbulence) will be modeled better in SoW if I have read past postings correctly. Crosswind landings may take some extra skill.

How did I do?

Thermals: I don't know of any general aviation flight sim that models thermals "well" for gliding. What I do know is that programming for such things and doing it well takes a lot of resources (from what I have heard from developers of other flight sims). It would not surprise me that a dedicated glider sim does the best job. But we don't do a lot of gliding in combat sims .
