Realistic thermal generation, ridge lift, and wave soaring conditions that are essential for long-distance cross-country flights.
Though it supports global scenery via DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data, Silent Wings has a distinct geographic soul. Developed by a team with deep roots in the European gliding community, particularly in Norway, the default environments often feature the dramatic topography of Scandinavia. silent wings simulator
For the virtual pilot, this translates to a flight model that is punishingly realistic. The handling of the glider is delicate. Stick forces are simulated with nuance, and the coordination of rudder and aileron is critical. A sloppy slipstream or a poorly coordinated turn bleeds energy—energy that, without an engine, you can never get back. The simulator challenges the player to read the landscape, looking for plowed fields that generate thermal heat or ridges that promise updrafts.
