Default RE: Thermalling in AFPD

Thanks Clark! Appreciate the help. I have to get some thermal practise in so I can hopefully actually catch one this weekend with the electra I'll go try your settings and tips. I did have a big problem spotting the changes in attitude of the glider when hunting but maybe I just need to set up viewports well enough etc. Will keep you posted on my findings. I also didn't fiddle with CG setting too much but yes that could make all the difference for sure with the glider's reaction to the thermal. I just couldn't find yet if the simulator actually shows the change of CG difference like it would in real life. I still need to move my Electra's CG back as well to get it closer to the stall...haven't had enough flights on it to get it tweaked yet.
