SG-38 Glider

Post by JeffSmith » Sat Aug 22, 2020 10:16 am

I love this glider and flew some 477km with it yesterday .

1938 was a good year

Is there any chance of Condor adding more classic gliders?

Pilots need the Wright stuff

What's wrong with the most advanced glider of 1902?

What makes it worse than the SG-38 when comparing it to modern gliders?

I guess hang gliders are excluded as well?

The plan is to make popular planes..

We don't believe that plane would be worth the effort.

Hang gliders and Paragliders are another issue. We dont rule them out, but there's a big task with doing the flight physics to our standard, and we dont have time for that right now. Too many other things to improve first.

Thanks Chris

Yes, you have to be able to sell it, to make it worthwhile,
that makes perfect sense. Perhaps you could do a survey here
and see what people are looking for next, which would prevent wasted resources.

I flew the SG-38 from Kufstein to Bex yesterday and that took me nearly seven hours.
444 km very slowly, but an enjoyable challenge none the less.

I've bought a number of additional gliders but they tend to be similar in performance.
The SG-38 is very different and I would buy anything new of different design.
Those fixed wing hang gliders look really fun. Thanks for a very entertaining flight simulator.
