The thermals are pretty realistic after all, and it’s awesome to be able to fly online with other people. I’ve been a hang glider pilot for the last ten years and playing this sim on rainy days brings music back to my ears (variometer lol) ### 4/5 — Top *2019-09-16, version 1.5.8* Xtreme Soaring funktioniert Top! Die Geräusche der Ask-21 klingen gut und realistisch, Innsbruck ist vom Flughafen her ganz okay für ein Freeware Programm gleiches gilt für die Szenerie. Das Flugzeug selber ist Top und Gut gemacht nur etwas zu empfindlich was Reaktion angeht, da schnell große ausschläge passieren. Ansonsten Top! Online Fliegen macht Spaß und ist unterhaltsam! Super App ### 4/5 — Great Thermal Practice *2019-01-22* Nice simple simulator to practice free flight. Logbook and tracklog capability would be nice. Also, weather should be modifiable. In any case, great app to kill time when the weather outside doesn’t let you fly ### 4/5 — Programming fix. *2016-12-22* I found out that when you fly into a cloud with a high performing glider. The closest part of the cloud will cover up the image of the window latch on the left side of the cockpit. The cloud should cover the window latch on the outside of the cockpit. ### 5/5 — Super👍 *2016-10-29, version 1.5.8* Läuft gut und hat eine super Grafik... ### 5/5 — Amazing game. *2016-04-28* Learn to glide with this app. Very realistic plus meet heaps of other keen people ### 5/5 — おお！ *2016-01-10* 前作に続きグラフィックもリアルで操作性もほとんど申し分ないと思います。ただ発航前にウインチと反対側に引っ張られることがあったりします。 今後のアップデートに期待しています！ ### 5/5 — I really like it. *2015-11-28* Amazing simulator, i really enjoy the ride “offline", very realistic! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 不会开 *2022-08-26* 根本都飞不起来。 ### 1/5 — Did not get anything new *2022-06-03* I enjoy the free version. I paid for the full version and only got one new plane, and only one location. Lousy. The free version is actually better. I don’t think anyone has touched this app in 10 years. ### 1/5 — Worst sailplane app ever *2021-12-07* You never really get to climb in a single thermal. The app with make sure you crash every single time so you go to the paid version. Rip off. ### 1/5 — How start? *2021-01-13, version 1.5.8* Couldn’t get it to move... Hit End Game and then restart - or similar - just the same except now the view is totally totally black! Something not quite right. IPad. ### 1/5 — Trashy *2019-07-31, version 1.5.8* Terrible I can’t get of the frickin ground. Ither I am a terrible pilot or this is the worst game in the world WHICH I THINK IT IS!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — free doesn’t mean good *2018-04-05* after this free experience of which i want my time back, i can’t see myself paying for this. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2017-12-23* Downloaded and watched a still picture until I got tired of trying to figure out how to make something happen. ### 1/5 — Great game, when's the next update? *2017-07-18* I love this game but it hasn't been updated in forever. Wings of Duty is getting a lot of attention. Us extreme soaring fans would like some attention too. Aero tow and some new gliders would be awesome. Thanks ### 3/5 — Sehr unrealistisch *2023-02-06, version 1.5.8* Im Gegensatz zu rl sehr unrealistisch kann man gegen nichts machen was halt am Meißen aufregt sind die unrealistischen windenstarts ohne starthelfer außerdem zieht die Winde allgemein schlecht an und man muss die Runde neu starten um loszufliegen und bremsen auch schlecht ansonsten gut umgesetzt für nen Freeware Programm ### 3/5 — Needs MFi *2019-06-16* Be more fun if it could be used with a MFi controller... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 不会开的是猪吗？ *2026-01-02* 教程是不搜的，就在那说不会 ### 5/5 — I’m enjoying the game. *2025-06-04* I’m enjoying the game so much. I took a Sailplane ride when I was 14 years old in 1978. I suspect that I got the interest in flying from My Father who had a fascination with flight from the time he was a kid. He served in the Marines in WW2 in the 2nd Airwing with an F4U Corsair squadron. He would have loved to fly but lacked the schooling to be an officer. I imagine had things gone differently for him he could have been a flying Sergeant. When I was I believe 8 years old I remember him taking a sailplane ride and seeing the smile on his face when he was taking off. He described it like being a bird and then when I was 14 my Mother had put together the money to pay for the 2 of us to go for Sailplane rides and what I learned from the experience the game is very realistic. ### 5/5 — You guys should make another!!! *2024-05-27* Hey I’ve been playing this for years now and I love it. Recently I’m coming back into gliding and this is the first game I thought of. You should make another one or even release another update for this game. Graphics can definitely be improved and optimized and maybe a little bit more weather physics. Just an idea. Honestly I know if y’all made another it would be great no matter what. Please make another glider game! ### 5/5 — Very Good *2024-01-22* im also a glider pilot ### 5/5 — Gliding *2022-04-21, version 1.5.8* I love itI could not find any simulators of gliding and me is my first flight in the game but I do flying fly gliders in real live😀 ### 5/5 — Game good *2021-11-09* Get good game is good game so fun yay ### 5/5 — Sweaty palms *2019-01-01, version 1.5.8* I got to solo a few times in a Puchaz in the U.K. a few years back and the feel and flight dynamics are very realistic. I played on the iPad where both the graphics and controls are really pretty good .. rudder is necessarily a bit of a compromise but the stick feels very natural. It strikes a balance between a game and a simulation, if you just want to get in and fly this is for you. There is a good instructional video on the website I found useful for my first take off. In my first flight I soared to 6,000 ft and landed successfully, as in real life, I really did not want to crash.. or even put the shiny wing tip on the tarmac. It could be a more serious training aid.. preflight checks, proper patterns and circuits, observation, cable breaks etc. You might pick up some bad habits mastering this without professional instruction An aerotow tug would be very nice to have .. and being able to view thermals is kind of cheating imho Overall though, as far as it goes .. it’s great and it was a joy to escape into the clouds once again ### 5/5 — Good soaring practice *2018-05-16* This is a great app to refine thermalling or winch skills. Used it to practice my patterns too. Great resource for glider pilots to refine skills and stay proficient. ### 5/5 — 好 *2017-10-14* 好拉着 ### 5/5 — Perfect!! *2016-12-23, version 1.5.8* It perfectly simulates being in a glider! Would %100 buy the full version!! 😆😆 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
