Winch launch is coming soon to Aerofly FS! We've been working on this for some time behind the scenes and are proud to present our detailed physics simulation of winch launches for Aerofly FS.
Our winch cable is simulated based on the laws of physics with rope slack, parachute physics, weak link break and of course automatic release when the glider reaches the end of the launch, just like in real world. You will be able to not only simulate normal launches but also cross-wind and tail-wind conditions, cable breaks, rope slack and a so on.
The winch launch was developed together with real world glider flight instructors and experienced pilots to make the physics as realistic as possible. And of course the winch launch works out of the box with all our gliders.
