Edit: Now released in the official Steam release channel: A321, Antares 21E, ASK-21, winch launch and glider tow
We've been quite busy behind the scenes and are very happy to announce that a large glider update is coming soon! Not only are we adding two new gliders to the fleet: ASK 21 and Antares 21E but we've also been working on a full physics simulation for winch launches and glider aerotows. And we've been working on a number of glider fields as well.
With these new features you will be able to practice your flying skills in Aerofly FS
- Self launch
- Winch launch
- Glider aerotow
- Gravity launch (Lukla? :D)
- Start in the air to practice outlandings
- Start on final approach for landing practices
- Simulated engine failure and landing with pylon extended

Development Teaser: Schleicher ASK-21 twin seat glider trainer coming soon!
The ASK-21 is a very popular dual seat glider used for beginner and aerobatics training. It is simple by design and doesn't fly as far as the high performance competition gliders but it's very robust, easy to fly and more affordable.

The A321 is now available in the Steam Beta for Aerofly FS 4 as part of the Aircraft Add-On DLC! Please test the new aircraft and all other aircraft and give us feedback below. To participate in the beta please go to your Steam library, right click Aerofly FS 4 on the left, select Properties, then Betas and select the latest beta version.
