/images/notams/notams21/wog0526/glid0526.jpgExperience general aviation as never before! World of Aircraft is aseries of stand-alone simulators that each focus on a specific kind offlying. World of Aircraft: Glider Simulator includes a series of(motor-) gliders and tow aircraft based on a high-definition flyingarea. World of Aircraft uses a dedicated graphics and physics engine tosimulate small aviation. Each edition focuses on one specific kind ofaviation and will always contain the area, airport(s) and aircraft youneed to explore that kind of aviation. Because it does not want tocover all the world and all kinds of aviation you get more detail forthe parts that are in the simulation when compared with full blownsimulators. /images/notams/notams21/wog0526/glider-4.jpgIt's a pure VFR simulator so it only simulates flights done withoutcomplex instruments and you navigate with your compass and youreyes. It's about the joy of being in the air and mastering yourmachine. The first release, World of Aircraft: Glider Simulator, puts you inthe cockpit of the aircraft you find on an airfield dedicated togliders. You will find older and modern gliders, even a motor gliderand a glider with auxiliary engine waiting for you. You will even finda highly detailed tow aircraft to get your gliders in the air. The flight modeling is exquisite and will show the strengths andweaknesses of each model. Most certainly World of Aircraft is not agame but a simulation and you will need to expect having to investsome time learning to fly all aircraft. /images/notams/notams21/wog0526/glider-3.jpgUser InterfaceVery easy to use interface, avoiding complex choicesSix languages for user Interface, radio, and audio (English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Dutch)Three languages manuals (English, German, French, more to come)GameplayTraining for many flight stages for Wilga and BlanÃkFree flight with all modelsMultiplayer mode with Aero tow (Wilga and BlanÃk) /images/notams/notams21/wog0526/glider-1.jpgContent25.000 km2 handcrafted terrain, near Mannheim, the border of the river RheinOne high detail (Herrenteich), one low end detail airport, Speyer, close the Technik Museum SpeyerFive usable aircraft:LET L-13 BlanÃk, a world-renowned glider, often used for trainingDiamond HK36 Dimona, a two-seater motor gliderSchleicher ASK21, two-seater glider with good performance and solid aerobatics capacitySchleicher ASK21 Mi, motorized self-launching glider with small rotary enginePLZ-104 Wilga, robust four-seater aircraft, used for many roles, very suitable to aero-towGraphicsAnimated road traffic, shipsRay-traced cloudsAnimated windsocksBirds in thermalsCloud shadowsAdvanced effects model, including dustDetailed flexing of wing surfaces /images/notams/notams21/wog0526/glider-2.jpgFlight modelPer-element based flight model: each surface split into many sections, aerodynamic forces computed for each section individually, then integrated. 360x360 deg flow provides for natural and seamless stalls, spins, tailslide, hammerhead turn and so onBlade element model (BEM) for variable pitch props provides for very precise computation of both linear (thrust) and rotational (asymmetric propwash) componentsMass-flow based model for internal combustion engine, correct computation of manifold pressureCorrect coupling of the prop to the engine (torque developed equalized by torque consumed by the prop)Full computation of windmilling mode, including backward flow conditionsGyroscope effect, p-factor effect computationSound modelMany sound effects normally not seen in simulators, for example the stick hitting its stopsFlow sounds depend on angle of attack, not only airspeedFar distance prop soundsAtmosphere ModelThermals model based on real life flight test dataThermals emerge, dissipate with time, get blown away with the windVelocity gradient across the upstream of thermals (so you can feel at which side of your aircraft the lift is highestArea And Airport(s)World of Aircraft: Glider Simulator is located at Herrenteichairport, a small airfield on the borders of the Rhine river, close toSpeyer (and Speyer airport is included). A 50x50-kilometre area ismodelled in high detail with tens of thousands of trees, house andcommercial buildings. A 30-centimetre ground image provides a perfectbackdrop for the area. Additional FeaturesWhen you are done with the training missions and the challenges youcan connect to your friends and fly together. Use the Wilga to towyour friends to altitude or see who can perform the most preciselanding. You could even try aerobatics as a team. The sky is thelimit. This time for real. See you at the field!

Preview: World Of Aircraft Glider Simulator By FilbertFlies Join me as I take a first look at the new Aerosoft World of Aircraft: Glider Simulator. I show you what it offers and give you my initial impressions of it. I'm using a pre-release version of the sim,so please be aware that it may differ slightly from the release version. It is scheduled to be released on 26th May 2021. About World Of Aircraft: Glider Simulator Experience general aviation as never before!

/images/notams/notams21/woa0421.jpgHave you heard of World of Aircraft already? Thestandalone flight simulator series offers an easy introduction into PCbased flight simulation and will soon be available on Steam and in theAerosoft Shop. Each version of World of Aircraft will cover a specific area offlying. Part 1 of the series "World of Aircraft: GliderSimulator" is all about gliders. WoA: Glider Simulator is set around a small airfield on the bordersof the Rhine river in Germany (the Herrenteich Flugplatz was used asinspiration). This airfield is a typical small airfield. Very calm inwinter but on fine summer days it is very active. From early morningflights to other airfields (Google '$100 hamburger' and you get someidea) to BBQs in the late evening. It is a place where you makefriends and meet friends. Flying is a hobby for the people there.The covered area around the airport is 25,000 km2 and includes theriver Rhine (no, you are NOT allowed to buzz the ships), a majorbridge (again no, not fly under it) a few small towns and villages andone larger town, Speyer, that has its own airport you can use. It isalso the location of the Technik Museum that has some amazing aircrafton display. You will see them when you fly around. Makes the approachto the Airfield Speyer Ludwigshafen rather special.
