![]() About half the clouds which abound on some tasks do not have any lift under them but do have heavy sink. This is NONSENSE as sink must have lift nearby. A bug I fear. Your kidding!!!!! The cheek of those bugs!! You have never struck clouds with sink under them? Lucky you. |

A bug I fear. Your kidding!!!!! The cheek of those bugs!! You have never struck clouds with sink under them? Lucky you. I taught meteorology to glider pilots when I was an instructor. I agree that there are clouds with only sink under them, but they are NOT BIG FLUFFY ones! SotS has a poor rendition of 'sinky' clouds, therefore this is a bug. Also just to be pedantic, a cloud which is dying does not have the same strength of downdraft as one which is still active. Just as well, or we'd all be pressed on to the ground! If you want to find a really good bug try this: Load the Wales-2 scenery. Take off on a task and climb to say 6000 ft (slightly unlikely in Wales, but let that pass) and set off towards a mountain. You will find that you have not enough height to clear this mountain. Now I live in Scotland and I know that we have Britain's highest mountain -- Ben Nevis 4406 ft. I know I've been on top of it often and there is no Welsh hill bigger than Snowdon --4085 ft and I've been there too. Lovely view if it isn't raining, which is usually is. Why not spend your time and effort explaining 'padlock' to me, rather than making the kind of unhelpful comments above. Good flying (especially in Wales) Alistair Wright Silver C 4759 |
