The yaw string is all over the place. It never centers, it always instantly wobbles from far left to far right, and never picks a side. I think it is bugged.

Hey @MGouge425, can you confirm if this mod still works in MSFS 2024 ? Thanks!

Thank you so much. I love soaring in real life so hopefully this will improve my sim experience!

3x ctd on this mod...doesnt work at all

TIP OF THE DAY: This aircraft is configured to use a winch cable length of up to 3,500 ft. So, to get the maximum AGL altitude from a winch launch you should takeoff from a runway that is at least 3500 ft. long.

TIP OF THE DAY: To continuously show the current distance and bearing back to your home airport on the GPS throughout your flight, before takeoff turn the upper-right GPS knob (Mode) to display the Nearest Airport list and then press the "GOTO" soft key at the bottom right. When you are ready to return to the airport, press GOTO again to display a magenta Course line from your present position back to the airport on the GPS map.

TIP OF THE DAY: You can easily see your current AGL altitude at any time by simply turning the upper-right GPS knob (Mode) to display the Information page, which will then show your current MSL altitude, and your AGL height above your starting airport elevation in both meters and ft.

TIP OF THE DAY: Contrary to what you might think, the more a glider weighs the faster and farther it can go for any given altitude loss! This is clearly shown in the Polar performance charts in the POH.
So, before starting a cross-country trip fill the water ballast tanks to MTOW.

TIP OF THE DAY: The corrections to the weight and balance and wing location in the last update have significantly improved the realism and performance of a winch launch. With a little practice, you can now easily achieve a launch altitude of up to 1500 ft. AGL.

Immediately after liftoff, begin smoothly applying UP elevator to keep the airspeed at about 110 - 120 km/h during the launch. Continuously increase the stick back pressure to keep the airspeed in this range as the aircraft approaches max altitude and the winch cable is released.

TIP OF THE DAY: If you are performing an Aerotow takeoff, and the tow plane repeatedly speeds up and slows down after beginning the takeoff roll, it is because there is slack in the tow rope. This will happen if the glider starts rolling faster than the tow plane, which can be caused by either a slight tail wind, or a slightly downward sloping runway. Try taking off again in the opposite direction. It is also much less likely to happen on a grass or dirt runway.

Two thumbs up!

Hello.
I have a question for you about modifying the contact points of a glider in order to make it slide easier on the ground as it doesn't have wheels just skid and probably is simulated somehow with way too much friction.

I looked at your modifications here for LS-8:

"

and also I tried to wrap my head around this information here but couldn't find what exactly to modify and in which direction.

https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/mergedProjects/How_To_Make_An_Aircraft/Contents/Files/Flight_Model/Wheels_And_Contact_Points.htm?agt=index

For example these are my numbers from the glider I try to modify:

"

point.2 = 1, -3.599965, -0.696134, -2.815482, 60, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1

"

If you could give me a hint or two I would appreciate it!

TIP OF THE DAY: Since this aircraft does not have a steerable tailwheel, how do you steer to maintain the runway centerline after landing, or exit to the side of the runway?

1) After touchdown, immediately retract the spoilers to keep your speed above 50 - 60 Km/h during the landing roll.
2) Release the back pressure on the stick to allow the tailwheel to rise up off of the runway. Apply down elevator if needed to keep the tailwheel off of the runway as your speed slowly drops.
3) Steer with the rudder and keep the wings level by applying opposite ailerons.

Nice Mod, thanks
