From the above: "This update to the Microsoft DG808S" ... so it's in FSX by default. Have you looked in the simobjects folder?

Doing some aerobatics over Christchurch

[Ian Warren]

Doug , one thing I never did was Loop'D'Loop when flying, me, I was only eight plus hours , we did see a lot of sailplanes over Christchurch nearly every weekend until the early mid 1990's were the decision was made to move out to Hororata all due to the Wigram getting closed in those next few years.

Well I can honestly say that NZFF members are not interested in Gliders as it is the lowest amount of entries that I have ever seen in a competition since I have been running it with only 8 entered and only 4 days to go.
Very very disappointing.

[Ian Warren]

It is disappointing, but so were are the amount of members who simply don't post anymore, the many went for reasons, it would be interesting to see how many use the free gift's given by us regulars and other wicked scenery and aircraft coming out.

[Splitpin]

Im not out of the race big D ..... just having trouble finding time .... but I will post

[Sonnyj]

After a crack of dawn tow to 5,000 - DG-808S waiting to catch the early morning thermals south Lake Taupo, looking forward to a day in the sky. Got my lunch.

[Ian Warren]

Got your lunch, I like that

Better late (ish) than never

Interesting theme this month

Well done all those who have entered into the spirit of the theme

to all those who haven't

Search "soaring in fsx" and have a look through the results. lots of great freeware available including Cumulus X, software to give realistic thermals and ridgelift wherever you want to fly from. Well worth having a look

My entry is an ASH25 freeware model by Wolfgang Piper over Omarama, the home of soaring in New Zealand

The ASH25 is worth downloading for the amazing wingflex simulation
