    How to start this airplane:
    because this doesn't have an engine you can spawn it in the air,
    by pressing F8 then pgUp for a while and then F7 or just use the engine.
    You may need to wiggle the flightstick left-right to overcome friction.

    About the thermal lift feature:
    What is a glider without thermal lift? Kind of boring. So this is why this mod has some sort of wind simulation for thermal lift.

    How to use it ?
    This feature is active by default. If you want to change the difficulty of the Simulation you can change the values in the tuning section of the vehicle

    The red arrow points towards the nearest thermal.

    If you don't want information about thermals or no engine, you can disable them in the vehicle's parts menu.

    At least some hints:

    Best manueverability if the airspeed is in the green marked range.
    Fly slower if you are in a thermal, this will give you more vertical Speed.
    Be carefull if airspeed is in the yellow marked range.

    The fact that this is a mod for a car game is insane
    Though it bugs out on low settings (rarely) and when I put the landing gear down it says "Lamdinggear down"

    Fantastic! Once you get the hang of the thermal system, it's so relaxing and yet challenging to keep it aloft! Would it be possible to make a tow rope so we can try (and probably catastrophically fail) to tow it into the air like a real glider? That might actually work well in MP. Imagine soaring though the air like majestic, drunken eagles, crashing into each other at every thermal lol

      seems like an error with an input device. Can you tell me more about what hardware / plattform you are using
