## About This Game
Experience general aviation as never before! World of Aircraft is a series of
stand-alone simulators that each focus on a specific kind of flying. World of
Aircraft: Glider Simulator includes a series of (motor-) gliders and tow
aircraft based on a high definition flying area.
World of Aircraft uses a dedicated graphics and physics engine to simulate
small aviation. Each edition focuses on one specific kind of aviation and will
always contain the area, airport(s), and aircraft you need to explore that
kind of aviation. Because it does not want to cover all the world and all
kinds of aviation you get more detail for the parts that are in the simulation
when compared with full-blown simulators.
It’s a pure VFR simulator so it only simulates flights done without complex
instruments and you navigate with your compass and your eyes. It’s about the
joy of being in the air and mastering your machine.
The first release, World of Aircraft – Glider Simulator, puts you in the
cockpit of the aircraft you find on an airfield dedicated to gliders. You will
find older and modern gliders, even a motor glider and a glider with an
auxiliary engine waiting for you. You will even find a high detailed tow
aircraft to get your gliders in the air.
## AIRCRAFT
* H36 Dimona. The Dimona is not a great motor aircraft and not a great glider, but it is a brilliant cross between the two. You can fly to your gliding areas and never have to worry about not making it back to your base.
* LET L-13 Blanik. This two-seater trainer has been for many pilots the aircraft they got their first flight in. It’s used all over the world with over 3000 aircraft build since 1958. Easy to fly, it is an ideal aircraft to get your baptize in.
* ASK-21. The ASK-21 is still in production and is in use by many glider clubs as an aerobatic and cross-country glider as well as a trainer. The Mi version has a retractable rotary engine and is self-launching. A great glider to fly after you mastered the Blanik.
* ASK-21. The ASK-21 Mi is the same glider as the Ask-21 but has a retractable rotary engine and is self-launching.
* PZL-104 Wilga. It looks like a dinosaur and in many ways it really is. Aerodynamics clearly was not the first considerations in the design. But it is an amazing aircraft that can land anywhere and can even pull two gliders at the same time!
* The flight modeling is exquisite and will show the strength and weaknesses of each model. Most certainly WoA is not a game but a simulation and you will need to expect having to invest some time learning to fly all aircraft.
## AREA & AIRPORTS
WoA – Glider Edition is located at Herrenteich airport, a small airfield on
the borders of the Rhine river, close to Speyer (and Speyer airport is
included). A 50 by 50-kilometer area is modeled in high detail with tens of
thousands of trees, houses,s and commercial buildings. A 30-centimeter ground
image provides a perfect backdrop for the area.
## ADDITIONAL FEATURES
When you are done with the training missions, you can connect to your friends
and fly together. Use the Wilga to tow your friends to altitude or see who can
perform the most precise landing. You could even try aerobatics as a team. The
sky is the limit. This time for real. See you at the field!
