Today was pretty good flying weather at the club field. 70 degrees, blue sky with 50%-60% cumulus, and almost no wind. And too soon a front came up and started very light showers. So I came home before I was flown out.

So I got out G4 to fly some. Got to admit that I wasn't in the least interested in how efficient or retarded it might or might not be. I just flew for awhile.

And while I was just flying, I flew the Bird of Time and a couple of other gliders at all the slopes. Darn if they didn't make those slopes look good. And they work really good too. I played around with the windspeed a bit. Mostly I made it fluctuate because that's how it is in the real world. And I noticed the way G4 pushes some clouds by one of the slopes. Excellent graphic detail, plus the overall cloud movement does in the sim just what it did in RL. It tells the wind direction. I'd turned off the floating arrows in the sky deal. They seem a bit silly, but then so do the floating hoops and such. Different strokes, you know.

I also flew the Cub a bit. I flew a new one for a flying buddy today at the field and it flew good after trimming it out, so I figured to compare RL with the sim. I duplicated the wind we had today and picked a field that's somewhat close to ours. I didn't get to fly but a flight or two before supper and was still dinking with the wind settings, but I'd give it a passing mark and expect it to do better next session. Which I think will be RIGHT NOW...... tired of typing. It's dark and raining and I think I'll go where it's nice and sunny and I can make the wind direction and speed anything I choose. see ya
