• Do you mean winch? (in Deutsch "Winde")

    To lift up your glider you do two things

    1) go to the general settings and enable the overlay. This will show an aircraft symbol to the right of the screen with an arrow up. Click it to increase altitude.

    2) You can also assign a button in the control settings for this "quick lift up".

    And to start in the air you can go to the location dialog and use the slider on the right to increase altitude.

    With your wind set to a slight breeze and your sliders for the thermals set to a high value you should find couple of thermals or updrafts in front of a ridge ("Hangaufwind") to stay airborne.
