Summary
Glider Simulator was originally designed as a training program for sailplane lovers, so real reaction to handling and flight simulation were primary targets of this simulator. In addition, an important part of the development of this program has been the simulation of both thermal and ridge lift used by glider pilots as the only 'engine' to keep their planes in the air, allowing them to cover very long distances, attain great heights and stay aloft for extended amounts of time.
Glider Simulator is developed to be comparable in quality with other simulators in the market. To attain this, a good virtual cockpit, which is easily controlled with your mouse, provides a natural means for 'looking' around, outside your cockpit in any direction. In addition, a high degree of realism is obtained using different external views, aircraft shadows, glass cockpit reflections for faraway gliders, clouds, and cloud shadows having been built into the program.
