Okay, thank you Scott, Bruce, and Jonathan for your encouraging remarks
about sims. I'll think more about that now. Can it simulate a Grob
103?

Just noticed this.

No, there's no Grob 103 model. Not really important. The handling feel is more important than the exact performance, and any neutral-ish standard class glider will be near enough e.g. the ASW28 in the included aircraft.

Plane Pack 1 (EUR 10) includes a PW5 which handles nicely and is only a little worse performing than a Grob 103. I sometimes fly it in the online races and do ok because of the handicap :-) PW5s mostly only do slow and short flights because mostly only bad pilots fly them ... it was quite a revelation when one of NZs top std class pilots entered a PW5 competition...

Plane Pack 2 (EUR 15) has a bunch of older "club class" gliders such as Libelle, ASW15, LS4 which are higher performance than the Grob but closer than the built in gliders.

If you want to really practise your rudder coordination then jump in the Nimbus 4 or ASW22!!
