Not sure if that makes sense, it's more how I feel about it. You don't really interact with terrain, or fly past some incredible mountain ridges in close proximity etc. Something that is probably much more dangerous in a cessna and most of the time you end up flying across the terrain at 3000+ ft.
Also what I have always loved is the possibility to interact with the terrain in some way, such as in ridge soaring. I've just become realistic about my passion for flying and in Australia (which is where I currently live) it is very expensive to do you PPL and fuel costs, insurance, plane rental etc is only for the wealthiest.įrom what I hear, gliding should be way more affordable and gives you that feeling of literally flying with wings possibly much more than GA single engine flying. Thanks so much for the exhaustive replies guys. Of course their is no harm in gliding in FSX just for fun: The forum here is very good and they welcome those who are new to gliding and they are mostly real world pilots. Considering human factors, following RW procedure when simulating flight that you intend to do for real is important! I am sure there are other association for other countries but I am not familiar with them. If you are not in a position to do that right now see if you can order a copy of the Training Manual for the Soaring Association of America or the Soaring Association of Canada assuming you are in North America. Why don't you go to your local gliding port and meet with the CFI for a chat about your options and perhaps take an introductory lesson. Your comment that you might get into real gliding caught my attention. I wouldn't even consider anything else for Gliding.
