Can somebody make gliding mode

Hi Diandriux,  welcome to the forums.

I guess you mean thermals and rising air currents to allow you to fly gliders 'properly'.

I'm not a mod maker either, so sorry, but I can't help you on that score.  Although it's definitelty not something I'd want as a stock feature, I can see why you (as a glider pilot) would enjoy this as a mod.

To me it seems like it could be quite difficult to get it reasonably relistic, but it may be worth you contacting the author of the FAR (Ferram Aerospace Research) mod.  He seems to know his stuff, so at he may be able to give you an idea of whether it could be a viable possibility and how difficult it may be.

I've been thinking about building a glider for a while now - I want to see if it's possible to get one airborne using a KAS winch at one end of the runway, winding it in to generate airspeed and launching like that. You might just be able to get enough altitude to go around and land back on the runway. Can the KAS cables be stretched the length of the runway? Never really used that mod before...!

You won't get much/any further, landed vessels aren't completely physics simulated outside ~250m from the active vessel (the exact distance depends on which side of the limit you are approaching it from) which means you can't move them outside that radius
