@Andre, This is quite good! I have used several paraglider simulators in the past, and have a user interface, that I would like to propose. My setup hangs from my ceiling, and is based off a "Hang-In" simulator, that I made out of PVC, and a set of risers. The toggles, and weight shift, work together, to move an optical mouse across a platform mounted to the frame from which the user's harness hangs. Brake tension, is adjustable by connecting surgical tubing, to the mouse, and break lines. This gives a very natural feel, and allows gravity to handle the motion expected from weight shift. The tubing is connected in a triangle formation, so when one pulls Right-Break, the mouse position moves to a position on the screen that corresponds with the Right-Break. The simulator I was using at the time is no longer available, and it connected directly with Google Earth. The speed bar, connects to another input, which gives the reverse input to that of the breaks. At the time I was using this, I also had 3D goggles attached to my PC, which gave an incredible level of realism, to my virtual flights. Even without Google Earth, or the 3D headset, I think my design would work well with your program. I'd really like to get my simulator hooked up again, to do some "In-Door" XC. Let me know if this interests you, and I will dig up my original designs. That way, you have something to work with, and even improve upon. What say you? (>*
Hi Andre , I'm follow you since a while now , and I really appreciate your employment and motivation to share with us some nice ideas and project.Thanks a lot to you and don't let stuff down .
Great work guys! One thing I would appreciate: If the location of the thermals where roughly as they would be in real life! For example slopes facing the sun, darker parts of the ground and so on... Obviously it would be insanely complex to FULLY model that, but maybe you could put some rules in place, that roughly put them in these places? - I feel that "where to expect a thermal" is just as important, maybe even more so, than how to core it! Again, you guys are doing great and progress has been insanely fast! :-O
Looks fantastic! I'm really looking forward for the game. I'm still improving my little mobile game, but simulating more or less realistic flying is not that easy. Keep on the good work!
nice video and keep up the good work !! is the video game source code open source and available somewhere ? Or is there any beta version we can download and play with ?

Wonderful work and explanation. 👍👍
Oh man that map at the end showing where, how big the thermals are, and the path you took is awesome! Looks like an ideal mix of game and simulator.
I'd love to purchase the game, when it's released. :)

Wao.. such a nice video on thermal covering xc ...
I love the way you explain these concepts. It make sense and the most important the science behind it. Thank you for good quality videos!

I would be happy to play it!
Nice work bud looks like fun I can’t wait to play

Really awesome Andre! This looks like a winner for sure!
nice video and keep up the good work !!
is the video game source code open source and available somewhere ?
Or is there any beta version we can download and play with ?
Very nice 👍🏼 keep it coming!
Can't wait to check this app out 👍
I'll definitely buy this game😍
Amazing!
Please release a game-simulator soon! ; )
Where can I play this? This is still relevant :)
Amazing app
Shut up and take my money :) Seriously it looks amazing!
Quero jogar tbm... rs.
Take my money.
In real life you would have not left that mountain thermal that early to go low in the flats .. :D
