THGF Hawk Stand Alone Glider

Glider can be used without the Widget

 THGF Hawk – Stand Alone

This glider does not require you to install the widget to see this glider in the MSFS 2020 Hanger.

The reason for this is that it does not have a working variometer.  That only exists in the widget.  Without the widget, this glider is only launchable using winch or aerotow or just slewing the glider into the air.   If all you want to do is just try out virtual hang glider without going any deeper down the rabbit hole, this glider is for you.
It can be replaced by the full version at any time, and you can use it with the widget if you like, but it will never have a working variometer.

The THGF Hawk  is a hang glider of the floater type.  This glider can be flown in very light conditions and still soar.   A great first glider that will give new hang glider pilots confidence in launching, landing, and flying a hang glider in MSFS 2020.

Performance
This glider has a speed range of 18-50 mph, a sink rate of 100 f/min and a maximum glide ration 12/1.
