Yes....  gliders have been somewhat neglected in MSFS over the years.
This a shame as gliding is an important part of aviation.
Skill alone will keep you airborn and allow you to make it back to the airport.
It's flight at its basic and most elegant form.

In fact it, was largely the pilot's gliding experience that enabled him to safely land that Airbus in the Hudson river. Smiley

I meant as a glider pilot in my reply above.

Out of the box the quality of sots gold is better than fs2004 or fsx, maybe this new one is better.

At least Sots Gold was written by Jesus  Smiley ( I used to chat with him a lot)and is a widely used sim used by glider clubs.
 

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change Smiley
