Clinton 626 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi everyone. Does anybody know if you get a 'Thermal Generator' for FS2004? As I do like gliding a lot, but there is no provision for random thermals. I am a resident of South Africa and would like to fly locally in the sim. Thank you, Clinton. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caphavoc Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Gi'day Clinton, With the recent "closure" of the SOAR website (https://www.virtualsoaring.org/) there doesn't appear to be any thermal generators available atm. Condor Soaring (https://www.condorsoaring.com/), a dedicated gliding simulator, has an extensive collection of freeware sceneries available (including South Africa) if you don't want to glide in Slovenia. Francisco Vargas has about 200+ random thermal sceneries available in the flightsim.com library (some a little buggier than others). But hey ... Of course you can always produce your own; download the BGLComp SDK, it includes instructions for creating Thermal lift areas. Happy Soaring, Regards, Dorian Edited September 29, 2021 by caphavoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton 626 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi Dorian. Thank you for replying. Yes i was actually looking for a "thermal Generator" but guessed that it should be difficult to find. But I will definitely will have a look at Condor 2. Just the fact that they have made it so that different areas can give you lift as in real life is a real bones. Just have to save up for a proper pc and controls again lol. thats the reason I am back to fs2004 after being used to FSX... blown motherboard. I have to take my hat of for the team that developed FSX. They have done such a good job that it took many years for the competition to catch up! And now it seems they did, but the pc you need for it now cost the same as a second hand car. Anyhow, it was nice of you to reply... again thank you. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
