Does anyone know if Ridge Lift is simulated in FSX-SE?
I have experienced ridge lift in two places - Molokai in the Flight Sim Jewels scenery and in the custom Greenland scenery at Narsarsuaq - but I dont know if this is part of the scenery or part of the sim.
In the above scenarios I was using REX textures (which I would assume would not have thermal, ridge or wave effects), Active Sky Next (maybe has them?) and the sceneries mentioned.
I ask because I was trying a glider flight from a location I know has ridge lift in the real world but did not experience it in the flight.
I have seen Sim Probe by Ian Forster-Lewis mentioned on several occasions but all the links for download and documentation are dead.
This made me think that maybe ridge lift is now part of FSX-SE making Sim Probe redundant - is that the case?
Any help greatly appreciated!
