Actually Mike understates (as usual), FS One is much better.
He left out being the sailplane on aero-tow.
Actually it is a better helicopter simulation then the competition.
The fixed wing stuff ... you'll have to explore on your own ... I haven't.

Cal, I don't know about 3.5 but I have Realflight 4. It has no launch
except handlaunch, but here's what you do.
Use the flying field called "Thermal Park." There are arrows showing
various air currents, including some pointing more or less straight up.
Mouse around until the plane is pointing right at one of the up arrows,
but don't point the nose of the plane up. Just give it a level launch
onto the up arrow, and then start circling. You'll climb out.
This is pretty cheesy, admittedly. The DS is really fun, however; even a
novice like me can get in the groove and really scream.
I think that Horizon sells a simulator that has some kind of winch launch
capability.
HTH!

Subject: [RCSE] Real flight 3.5
When I use a glider like the BOT I can not get bungie style launch.
All it does is glide out of your hand.
I looked in instructions and saw nothing referring to launch of a
sailplane.
The on screen instruction is point with mouse and hit any key.
I am pointing into the wind. I do not have spoilers out.
