How does flying gliders in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS 2020) compare to the real world? Having flown gliders in real life, I've always wanted to compare the experience offered by MSFS2020 to real flying. This video shows my perspective as a real glider pilot.

Get the fantastic freeware DG808 for MSFS2020 here: https://msfs.touching.cloud/mods/ms-d...
Thermals and winch launch are provided by this excellent freeware plugin: https://msfs.touching.cloud/mods/kine...

If you enjoyed the physics in this video and are looking for more real-life physics explained through flight simulators:    • Aerodynamics in X-Plane 11  

Thanks for joining me!
