Hang gliding
for the sim pilot.
For pilots who want to fly hang gliders in Microsoft Flight Simulator — and do it properly. Hand-crafted gliders, real-world launch sites, authentic instruments, and a community of sim pilots flying real weather, sharing routes, and chasing records together.
LEDGER · WORLD RECORDS · LIVE
The record books.
The current record holders from the sim world. Only flights using real weather settings, with real tracks, by real pilots qualify. Can you make the leaderboard?
Drop your IGC from the THGF variometer. Auto-verified.
How are your flights tracked?
Your THGF variometer records a verified IGC log of every flight — geotagged, timestamped, and real-weather attested. Upload it and your flight is automatically scored against the global leaderboard. No screenshots, no manual entry. Real weather only, no exceptions.
GLIDERS · 5 CATEGORIES
Glider dossiers.
You can only fly hang gliders in Microsoft Flight Simulator if you have a hang glider category installed. Free for MSFS 2020, premium for MSFS 2024 — and every category grows with add-on variants.
How do glider models actually work?
Hang glider packages aren't just 3D models — they include flight physics, instruments, animations, and sim-specific tools that make them flyable. MSFS 2020 and 2024 handle them differently, and both need the right setup to get airborne. Before you download, know what you're installing and what to expect inside the sim.
