How To Use

​Greetings! We have prepared two gliding tasks for you, and proposing to participate in small competitions. Program in early testing stage, so it will be more testing rather than sport event, but still good reason to enjoy soaring in MSFS.

​Tasks will be opened from today for testing, so no time will be send to the server after complete. You can get familiar with the route, or just wait for tomorrow.

Tomorrow noon (UTC) start gate will be opened, and available for 24 hours. So everyone will be able to participate in most suitable time.

Basic parameters of the starting page: 5000m elevation (above ground), 500m radius

Parameters of turn points and finish: elevation not limited, 500m

Program has some basic safe checks – like you have to turn engine off, or don’t use winch/tow after you passed starting gates, or your result will be reset. Program in the early testing stage, so feel free to report about any issues.

We can use different servers for now (late some way to connect pilots will be added), but maybe we could agree to use single one – West Europe, so we will see as much people as possible.

So, have fun, tomorrow 12pm (12:00) UTC starting gates will be opened, and you can race many times you want.
