Default soaring sim with bald eagle ridge terrain?

The really nice thing about the accurate NMEA output is you can load
your own PDA with the turnpoints and actually fly some "tasks" to get
used to the area and what it looks like. It's also good practice for
interacting with your PDA and its software while under the duress of
flying your virtual glider.

Thanks.

Well, that's exactly what I've done with SilentWings. Unfortunately I
don't have my "own area", but it's also nice to see how it looks like in
Sisteron or Minden. I strongly suggest you give the demo a try...

With the newest version you can also fly with others: there are several
common tasks for Mnden and Alps on servers and people are also having
competitions there.
