I can't take off !

If you can t take off because the wing looks 'caught' in the terrain, try to refresh the page ('F5' key) once or twice

I lost my glider :(

The glider can disappear when too high above ground, this is a know bug from the google plugin :
you can give google a small word about it so they fix that as soon as possible...

When flying close to the mountain, the camera may not be able to stay behind your glider : it will then move up, so your glider will seem to be going down. Don't get surprised !
If you cant see your glider at take off, it may be because the take off is on a slope, making it not possible for the camera to position behind it : this will stop after you flew a few meters away (or make a slight turn)

Thermalling is weird...

Because of the way it is coded, the thermals don't drift with wind while the glider does.
This makes thermaling not so natural, depending on the wind speed, you'll have to do a 'facing wind leg' after each circle in the thermal in order to stay centered in it.
