Hi,

I must be wrong but... I can't find the thermal settings under Wind & Weather settings... :confused:

Are these settings gone? Why? How could I set up a thermal soaring session?

Thanks for your help.

In G4 this is accomplished using thermal emitters. Look at the "Thermal Park" airport for examples.

Wow, great feature! It's like Wind Modifiers... I tested the DS field... very impressive! :D Could fly up to 360km/h (little less than 200mh).

Thanks a lot for your help Jim!

PS: since the plane speed could be very high in DS I guess the max speed is maybe greater in G4 than G3.5, no?
