Am I missing something obvious here?
How do I take a quick flight in the sailplane?
At the moment, all I can manage is to dump it on the runway and watch it list to one side. I couldn't find a "start in air" option.

😎 Aloha Steeev, Once you have the plane on the ground just go to the Map pulldown and set your altitude to about 6 or 7000ft above your present location,set the speed to approx. 70knots and activate. Hope that helps you. Ric

You can also just hit yhr <Y> key for "skew" and then the <F4> key. Your plane will magically rise. Hit the <Y> key again when you are at an altitude you like.
Once you are in skew mode, you can also arrow in any direction for any distance.

Thnaks Jaelmi.
Why couldn't Microsoft have printed all the instructions in a nice meaty wedge of a manual, instead of the new Learning Centre on the disks?
I know it would cost a bit more, but it's not the cheapest piece of software in the world, and could be perused at leisure.
