Updraft

How to fly

Right thumb

A real stick. Pull back (drag down) to raise the nose, push forward to lower it, sideways to bank.

Tilt to fly

Or steer by tilting the phone: turn it like a wheel to bank, tilt the top towards you to pull up. Switch it on here, with the phone button at the top, or in the menu.

Rudder bar

Slide to yaw. Use it with the stick to keep the yaw string straight.

Brakes

Drag down to open the airbrakes and steepen your approach.

Drag the view

Orbit the camera around the glider in the chase views, or look around from the cockpit. The recentre button snaps it back.

Radio

Tap the radio button at the top to change station. The music follows your flight: it builds as you climb, tightens near a stall, and a guitar kicks in above 100 kt. Music volume, and a steady option, are in the menu.

Map

Turns with you, so ahead is up; N marks north. Tap it to see all the islands.

Hold too much back stick and the wing stalls: a wing drops and the glider sinks fast for as long as you keep pulling. To recover, ease the stick forward and use opposite rudder.
