Wow! Substantially improved physics in XP12 for gliding! I'm actually amazed to be honest. It flies now like Condor 2, maybe even better. It's time to hook up my VR headset and try this in VR with Autoortho and X-Europe!
@@Pe11ePD it flies like better than conodor isnt really a point either its a subjective feeling. It just doesnt behave like it does in reallife and the winch launch is totally unrealistic and bad.
This is so well presented, thank you. I appreciate the bonus tip that I can just click and drag the aircraft to a new location. I always thought it was strange that I could change the altitude. Never occurred to me to click and drag. 👍🇨🇦
I used to enjoy soaring in both an old version of X-Plane as well as Condor. Never really had a suitable gaming machine, though, and still don't. I have to say, compared to what I'm used to, this looks fantastic and fun. You are tempting me to upgrade my computer and buy this. ;)
Hey do you guys have an estimate as to when the water colors update will come in xplane 12? I know for most people it's no big deal but I live in a tropical area so it adds to the experience!
🇺🇸 Do you think about one day releasing it for other platforms like Playstation 5? Because that would be really cool, it would open a lot more doors, a lot more people could experience this simulator, and even maybe VR mode with PS VR2. The PS5 is fully capable of running this simulator, and if you release it there a lot of people including me will buy it for sure! This is the best flight simulator I know and I'm dying to play it but unfortunately I don't have a PC yet. So please this simulator would be perfect on PS5, release it there too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 🇧🇷 Vocês pensam em um dia lançá-lo para outras plataformas como Playstation 5? Pois isso seria muito legal, abriria muito mais portas, muito mais pessoas poderiam experimentar esse simulador, e até mesmo talvez o modo VR com o PS VR2. O PS5 tem total capacidade de rodar este simulador, e se vocês lançarem lá muitas pessoas incluindo eu irão comprá-lo com certeza! Este é o melhor simulador de voo que conheço e sou doido para jogar ele mas infelizmente não tenho PC ainda. Então por favor, este simulador seria perfeito no PS5, lancem lá também 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice! But guys, what about thermals’ auto-injection to the real weather? I weally miss this even with Active Sky XP (it just drops whole thermal generating to zero, as well as any other weather engine). Can you add real thermals’ injection as the option for the realistic weather? This is what’s really impressive in MSFS2020 - it has auto-generator of thermals, so X-Plane could got that too.
Always loved X-Plane 11 but X-Plane 12 has been very buggy,and I’ve had rudder axis issues because the rudder axis won’t stay in center even tho I’ve calibrated it 1k times.
There are 2 ways : if you just intend to fly and have some fun with few people you can use JoinFS for the flight connexion and Discord for the voice (I have a video with gliders on my channel). If you'd like to pilot as it is in real life (with control towers, radio and airspaces) there are some worldwide networks like Ivao or Vatsim.
hello X-plane official. i found some bugs in the jetway in X-plane 12. the jetway won't actually connect at the top but it does on the bottom. i hope you guys can make it so that the jetway can connect fully to any aircraft, thank you!
Well... Winch launch, tow plane "wake", the thermal structure and the whole lower atmosphere weather model and change with time: Condor is far ahead of X-Plane. But you should try it, it has improved over X-Plane 11.
I bought x-plane and wanted to fly with the Airbus, I chose a map and when I spawned, the whole ground was not loaded, there was only water 😢😥😥😥😥🥺😭😭😭😭😭And with other maps too 😭
Hello, I'm a real ASK-21 trainee. It was interessting to watch, but I noticed some things: -The things on the wings are not called airbrakes, they are actually flaps. -the combined flap/brake lever doesn't work irl. (at least at our one;) -you don't fly at 90 km/h (Triangle Speed), but rather between 90 an 110, mostly arround 100 -you pull the flaps out fully for landing. When you are clear of obstacles and the runway is below you, yank them out. -If they work, the brakes are really strong. So you first turn away from the runway and only break when you are vacated. Winch Start: -set the trim fully forward, still you don't have to pull much irl -first climb gently, then start pulling up incrementally. Ideally, when you reach the top of your climb the stick should be pulled all the way back. -you don't release the rope. It slides out itself. You just pull the hande 3x to make sure it's gone.
I know *very* little about all this, but I did look through the flight manual for my clubs ASK-21, and they are indeed called air-brakes and there's no mention of flaps. I wonder if some models of the k21 have flaps while others don't?
@@bird.9346 Could potentionally also be a translation issue. In Germany we have (Lande)Klappen = (Landing)Flaps and Bremsklappen = (Breaking)Flaps. In the 21 we mostlyy just say Klappen but sometimes also Landeklappen
@@bird.9346 they don't calls flaps, flaps are another thing. ASK21 have no flaps. If someone call them flsps have never flown or even seen a glider in his life ( p.s. : I am a RL glider pilot from Switzerland).
@@antonioiozzi291 Here in Canada flap and airbrake are entirely separate words for separate things. Apparently it seems that the terminology is different in Germany
Can't you even program the towing machine so that it flies curves like in the original? A tow plane NEVER flies straight ahead! This is beyond reality! Greetings, a glider pilot ;)
Just another note. The towplane wake turbolence like the one I see in this video is in my opinion totally wrong. If true for liners or generally relatively big aircraft cannot be true for small aircraft like this one . If there is turbolence is due to the propeller, not to the wings. A tow plane with big propeller generate turbolence but not this way, while with smaller one (in my club we have an MCR 01 as tow plane now) you are not disturbed by a rotating propeller. This effect as I see in XP is highly exaggerated and totally unrealistic. I have experienced flying behind Maule M7, Robins, Piper Pawnee and never had such effects.
Yep, Noticed the same thing, Also to note is significant wake turbulence is generated by larger aircraft during higher wing loading such as in takeoff and landings. Smaller aircraft as in the towplane will create propwash which does affect the aircraft but not how is modeled currently, at least with my real life flying also. Also, helicopters especially the large ones produce some dangerous wake turbulence ( stay around 3 rotor lengths away from any helicopter in a hover or transitioning from hover ) ( sorry getting off script here )
WHEN WILL LAMINAR MAKE TERRAFORMING POSSIBLE DEVELOPERS, THE TERRAIN IS ALWAYS INACCURATE AND DEVELOPERS CANT EVEN FIX IT OURSELVES. DONT WHY THIS ISNT BEING PRIORITIZED. IT'S THE SIGNLE REASON XPLANE 12 SCENERY IS SO SCARCE. MOST AIRPORACE HAVE UNIQUE TERRAIN FEATURES THAT CAN'T BE DONE TO XPLANE TERRAIN!
Just updated X-Plane 12 to the latest version 06 and what a disappointment. I was under the impression 06 was to take care of lighting issues, The instrument panel is so dark on the Cessna 172 it's unusable. Talk about flying in the dark on a VFR day. Ever try changing the comm frequency from standby to active, it doesn't work. I've been waiting for the past 9 months for these issues to be corrected. A BIG disappointment Mr Myer.
Coming from FS2020, XPlane is dead... there is almost no mods, no qualiry contro... no quality AI without paid mods etc etc. The list of problems is too big. The developers simply dont care. Even the airplanes menu looks same as XPlane 11. The ATC is a joke. Also the floaty planes when touch at the water they jump., even at really slow speeds because the water of the XPlane is solid. Its a joke.
As an actual student glider pilot this video is bang on. Really really accurate.
gliding is so much kinder on the bank account than learning on powered aircraft ;)
Wow! Substantially improved physics in XP12 for gliding! I'm actually amazed to be honest. It flies now like Condor 2, maybe even better. It's time to hook up my VR headset and try this in VR with Autoortho and X-Europe!
it flyes way worse than condor in my opinion and for sure unrealistic
@@eckiger_luki6424that is not nearly enough to make a point. Arguments?
@@Pe11ePD it flies like better than conodor isnt really a point either its a subjective feeling. It just doesnt behave like it does in reallife and the winch launch is totally unrealistic and bad.

I've flown the ASK21 irl, and I'm very impressed by the realism here.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial, and introduction to Gliding in xp12. I'll give it a try.
This might be random, but how do I install Zibo 737 and other add ons on Mac for X-Plane 12?
Very useful tutorial and clear advices. Think that I'm going to try it out. Thanks
Hey do you guys have an estimate as to when the water colors update will come in xplane 12? I know for most people it's no big deal but I live in a tropical area so it adds to the experience!
i agree as someone that does alot of seaplane taxi flights , it is immersion breaking
Xplane 12 crashes when I try to do tow plane. It looks like a server error.
When is the new update for the mobile coming out?

Yes, it is.
Well done, Jan.

Yes, you can assign buttons or keys to make the tow plane take a left or right turn 🙂
This game became better than MSFS!
meanwhile performance is still poor, clouds meh at best
Physics are miles better than msf tho

Nice, maybe I’ll be able to apply some of this knowledge in X-Plane 5 😉
awesome
Piloting gliders is very pleasant in VR, I've discovered it few months ago, I've made a video
Please make the game the free x plane mobile 😢😢
I want other planes but I would have to buy but I a kid if I buy it my parents will kill me
Add money in your game plzzz :(
