Hint: Resist the impulse to point your aircraft into a climb when you lose too
much altitude. This can stall the craft very quickly and force you to drop
even faster. Push the glider into a gentle dive to gain airspeed before
attempting any sort of climbing maneuver.
Hint: When following a set course at the higher skill levels, don't expect to
always fly a straight line between each waypoint. You'll probably have to plot
a circuitous route that factors in wind direction and thermal location.
Hint: Locating the all-important thermals is a lot easier if you go to the
Dynamic Scenery menu and add an aircraft or two to your flight. Instruct these
AI pilots to "find thermals," then simply follow them around to maximize your
climbing potential.
