=== Tips for beginners === | |||
To be able to stay in the air longer, it is crucial, that you have a basic understanding of the theory. | |||
After that, practice, practice, practice. Start to try to fly near the cloud caps (let you be towed, or use {{key press|Ctrl|U}} to get a quick cheaty lift), so its more easy: the thermals usually are wasp tailled. | |||
What also helped me alot was using the insim moving Map, which showed me my flight path. They helped in remembering where the thermal was spotted, and also to centre it with my circles. | |||
