Due to the massive improvements to the weather engine of flightgear, pilots should be able to do the "Pinzgauer Spaziergang" without having to set up an AI scenario, but just by using the "Detailed Weather" engine. Before starting your flight, open Environment -> Weather, pick "Detailed Weather" and select Weather Conditions: "High Pressure Region" (for the best chance to find thermals). Also '''make sure Terrain Effects and Generate Thermals''' are checked in the "Advanced Settings". Inside that dialog you may also want to set Airmass and Cloud Patterns to large so it is easier to get a good thermal lift. When finished, '''make sure to click ok on both dialogs''', if the weather (clouds) change after the dialog closed it should be correct ;). | |||
