[SU9+ COMPATIBLE] [VR READY] [MODERN/NATIVE] [CLICKABLE] [ANIMATED] [PAINT KIT]
The Discus-2c is a single-seat, high-performance sailplane by German glider manufacturer Schempp-Hirth. The sailplane also comes in a front electric sustainer version (FES). The Discus-2c features composite construction, advanced flight control surfaces for precise control, and a state-of-the-art wing design that maximizes glide performance and aerodynamic efficiency. The 18 meter version has a 28.5 aspect ratio and each version has a top speed of 174 miles per hour. One of the most advanced soaring craft ever developed, the incredible Discus-2c allows aviators to master the heights in the purest form of flight. Stay aloft in the mountains by riding ridge lift, circle into a cloud base on thermals, or just glide along silently on laminar air. The Discus-2c allows aviators to become one with the sky.

I can't buy it..it shows no price. Even if i click it. Is it only me or is there a server issue ?

I suddenly had an idea regarding tow planes as i mentioned this last week that i dont have active AI at my glider fields and don't use multiplayer. Has anyone tried using flight recorder to record a simple few circuits then replayed it as an AI aircraft which flight recorder gives you the option to do and then connecting to that. Sadly i cant try this myself just yet but maybe someone can

THIS ADDON > ALL OTHER ADDONS COMBINED!
peppe0888
Buyed it today, i flied a lot with the freeware version and so i decided to buy the premium version, i do not regret this purchase. Never seen an addon with this level of detail at this price. Really worth it!
ErateZZZ
My first glider experience in VR was one of the best I ever had in general! This plane is just fantastic! Thank you so much for this experience!
dnicolet
i cannot recommend this highly enough. it's such a fun time getting out and soaring in this plane and it's so well done. the liveries are really cool too. well done, gotfriends!!!

ich bin selber segelflieger pilot und finde das flugzeug sehr gut bis eins, die seitenruter foktionieren gut aber die realistisch ist das bei dem segelflugzeug nich
peppe0888
The free version is the best glider i ever tried on msfs. Can't wait to get the premium one on friday, it looks so cool.

I would appreciate the following info.
What exactly do I need to do, what tool do I need if I want to make a towplane start with the payware version....
Sorry but I do not understand the exact process, I really want to use this Towplane Start....but so far I have not found a video about it...
Do I need the tool Kinetic Assistant Application Installed to Use...
Many thanks for your help...

The Discus-2c only allows physical connection of the Towing Cable. So if you have a friend in multiplayer, you can connect to their aircraft. Alternatively, if you position yourself behind an AI aircraft, you can connect to them as well. The Discus-2c does not "Spawn" a towplane. If you are looking for spawning/recording options for towplanes, please use Kinetic Assistant. Thank you and sorry for the confusion.

thank you very much, now I am up to date and have understood everything very well...I hope that I can then perform an aircraft tow with the Kinetic Tool.... 😊

5 stars, although one small thing bothers me. I fly in VR and would like to see the pilot in the cockpit. But when I have positioned myself optimally in the cockpit, I am in the head of the virtual pilot's body. The pilot is animated and moves his head, so you see parts of the head in the picture. So my question is whether it is possible to remove the head from the virtual pilot in the cockpit?
Got Friends 3 day(s) ago
We are using the built-in Asobo Pilot System with this glider. That way users can customize their Pilot's looks using the game settings menu. We plan on leaving it like this for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, we have zero control of those models. We are trying to add hand movement points for the next update. However, removing the entire head is not possible at this time.
Frolodi76 3 day(s) ago
Thank you for the quick reply. I almost thought that it would not be so easy to remove or hide the head. To be honest, that's not really bad either....

Great plane, a real joy to fly!
I used the Summer Soaring Preset and made my maiden flight at Sedona. That ended after 5 mins. in a crash landing, but the second flight went well: it lasted 45 mins, with thermals that carried my 3.000ft above the airport. An incredible experience, particularly in VR!
It transported me back in time: I started my training to become a glider pilot at the tender age of 16…

This thing is a blast to soar in. Made it to the top of Mount Cook and cruised to the coast. Seamless integration with Kinetic Assistant and very intuitive to use if you don't like spending much time in manuals. I got the premium version because I know it's money well spent when it comes to GotFriends products.

Another excellent product from the GotFriends team, congrats! Just a couple minor items of note:

Thanks for the feedback, certainly things we can continue to work on.

Will this version on flightsim.to once downloaded, work on the XBox or do I need to wait and purchase from the main marketplace in MSFS to use the premium version for XBox?
Can I also use the freeware liveries or must they also be deleted when downloading the Premium version?
Got Friends 6 day(s) ago
Xbox can only use Official Marketplace content. Please wait for it to become available on that platform. With Xbox you can't download stuff online and expect it to work.

After flying real gliders for 46 years and instructing for 34 years this will be my last soaring season for health reasons so I'm really looking forward to the introduction of gliders, thermals and hopefully wave lift to MSFS later this year. The Discus-2C is great to fly and I hope that it sets a benchmark for MS/Asobo in terms of what we should expect going forwards. It would be good to see a video on how to set up a task on the LX Nav in order to make it easier to fly cross-country tasks. Keep up the good work!
Mort_the_2nd 5 day(s) ago
Hi steve. If you set up a route on the world map, it'll show on the LX nav. I've been experimenting getting some of the Condor 2 competition tasks in the Discus. I've been using Little Navmap to set up the plan (and load that .PLN file into the world map when in the sim), since it's easier to enter coordinates for waypoints there. Only thing I've run into is that tasks often finish at the departure airport, which makes the LX nav sequence to the destination immediately (skipping all other waypoints). I'm trying to solve this by putting the last waypoint further away from the airport.
