World of Aircraft: Glider Simulator Reviews

Once the VelocityOne Flightstick was setup it was relatively easy to fly. The gliders were immersive as the handling and sounds were pretty realistic.

This game is Great for Any person How Dreams to Be A glider Pilot. Well Well this it is fun but You Sorta Need A good PC i have a Imac with Boot camp its runs around 35FPS Would recommend Very Fun.

Awful simulator. I couldn't get it to work as it was stuck in full screen mode and the options etc menu were off the screen. I had to delete and reinstall multiple times. When I did get it to load, I couldn't control the aircraft with joystick, mouse, keyboard, game controller or foot pedals. So much time spent trying to get it to work and no time to actually enjoy it. Steam shows play time of 49 minutes!!! I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yes and it crashes regularly whilst you are trying to get it to work.

I experienced very glitchy graphics, a truly horrible frame rate, and zero audio (complete silence). There are no audio settings other than volume, and adjusting the video settings had minimal effect. I was unable to bind my Thrustmaster rudder pedals although my joystick worked fine. Scenery strobed in and out even when stationary. Frame rate would drop too low to control the aircraft even at low resolutions with the texture quality turned down (on a new top-of-the-line Dell computer). The last activity in the company's support forum is more than two years old.

The game was promising at the beginning despite the low number of aircraft. I think the best thing about the game is the texture quality. However, physics of the game is not good. For instance, during the tow takeoff with a glider, when you go below the tug plane, there should be severe turbulence that even makes climbing up the tug plane harder. Thermals are not that easy in the real life. Also, Wilga should have a mirror to watch glider during the tow. There are several unrealistic things about the game.

This game is so rushed. The menu doesn't even fit in a 1080p screen, Can't even interact with cockpit. My rudder pedals also don't work with this game. Flight dynamics are okay, but only in the L-13 Blaník. all other planes are literally broken in pitch making them unflyable. The map is also very bad with only 2 airports very close to each other. There is no winch launch also. I expected more from this game, but this quality is just poorly done. There are also unrealistic amounts of birds in the sky. The devs couldn't even properly model a 3d bird. The game is made by lazy devs and this game is deserved to fail! Fortunately I bought this game on sale from 3 euros. Absolutely not worth the 15 euros it is very poorly done.

Lots of fun, gives a great feeling. Bit outdated patch wise. keeps crashing on my Win11 PC. Will try re-installing. Amazing if someone could VR Mod it for 2024 play.

Had high hopes for this, but unfortunately it just feels empty and is way overpriced for the content. £9.99 probably more suitable. Setting up controls was a lot harder than it should've been and even then, some inputs weren't recognised. No head tracking support which kills immersion. This might be on the roadmap, but i'd like to think it's core part of a flight sim. The option to fly the tug aircraft is a nice touch and the sounds are quite realistic. Physics are ok but nowhere near as polished as Condor. Might come back to this if it gets a major update in the future, but can't recommend in its current state.

As a glider pilot myself I wouldn't recommend this simulator. Visuals and physics are alright however the choice of gliders, launch types, and locations is incredibly basic and gets boring pretty quick. UI is also very basic and so is the weather system. It being a gliding simulator I'd have thought there'd be more control over weather? If you want a gliding simulator get Condor 2!

Cannot recommend for $30. Its a $15 game at best. It feels empty for a glider game. The fun of gliding is soaring around and enjoying the scenery but the scenery in this game is just bad. The whole map is flat. There are a few tiny hills off to one side but the scale is so off its just not enjoyable to fly around them. An alpine lake map would be amazing. The cockpits in the game are pretty bare. There are panels that arent lit. At least put a GPS map on the screen! The cockpits arent interactive BTW which isnt a huge deal when dealing with the simple controls of a glider. Theres just nothing to do unless you are with friends but even that might get boring quick. I had no issues setting up my TM Warhog HOTAS and Saitek Combat Rudder pedals. Just make sure you use the Dev option in the control setup. Over all I do like the controls, sounds, and physics. I think the biggest problem is there isnt much to do which i feel could be resolved with a better map with multiple airstrips. Maybe add a time trial mode. This isnt a good start for the World of Aircraft series especially at this price. The whole point of the series was to give beginners the experience of flying but this just isnt enjoyable. Especially at this price point. I hope to see more features added like new maps or objectives. Time trial for multiplayer would be a good idea too.
