Valcor Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Despite the obvious presence of convection about Darrington yesterday, I was unable to find any thermals on my first attempt at gliding there. I don't know much about soaring in FSX however. Do thermals remain in a fixed area geographically or do they move about when real world weather is loaded? After my lack of success in the PNW, I took another moody joy ride through the vibrant fields of AU Gold.

Bruce Hamilton Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 You're at a pretty low altitude over Darrington, slew yourself up to around 8,000 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcor Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 You're at a pretty low altitude over Darrington, slew yourself up to around 8,000 feet. Ok, I'll try staying on my tow up to a bit higher. I'm not sure how high the AI tow-er will take you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get hold of CumulusX to give yourself much more realistic thermals and ridge lift in FSX. I use that with the Discus glider and generally don't have too much trouble with a winch (use WinchX) to around 1,500 feet from Darrington, there are plenty of ridges nearby that you can use.
