A new glider, the [[Glaser-Dirks DG-101G|DG-101G]] from Glaser-Dirks, has been added to Git. It utilizes a [[JSBSim]] FDM, tuned with data calculated with XFLR5. This model features winch start, aerotowing, a drag robot, water ballast and [[livery over MP]]. | A new glider, the [[Glaser-Dirks DG-101G|DG-101G]] from Glaser-Dirks, has been added to Git.
