This one's for you Frazer. ;) One of the best FSX movies I've ever seen! Scenery is MegaScenery Hawaii.

The eye-candy in the first 90 seconds looks so promising that I have to fire up the server and watch it on the big screen!

Since almost all of my RL time is in gliders, I really enjoyed that! I was a little disappointed he didn't do any real flying though... aerobatics in a sailplane is a blast!

He would love it! I just don't know if he knows about that scenery pack, even though he probably knows about all of them. :lol:

Out of curiosity Gunner, how does a glider taxi. Do you just hop out and push?

If you want to stay on the good side of the ground crew, you land with enough speed to carry you just to the right spot. :wink: At Turf Soaring School, where I've done most of my flying, they usually have a couple guys to help, but there were days when a pilot might have to bring it up himself. (I wouldn't know, I nailed it perfectly every time). :roll:

Sweeeeeet. :D

This is an awesome movie!

But indeed, what Gunner already mentioned, I hoped to see some more "flying". :wink:

Also, this wind sound got on my nerves after a while! :lol:
(It's not so hard to get real sounds of a glider)

Thanks for posting Blaze!

I figured that or possibly like a small drive wheel or something to that effect.

Awesome video!

Sometimes it looks so real... they did a great job!
