The Schempp-Hirth Discus-2b is a Standard class glider designed by Schempp-Hirth. It was produced in Germany between 1984 and 1995 but continued production in the Czech Republic.
This is the first native glider for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, built from the ground up, over 300 hours spent on development so far. This is the result of hard work for the community and for free. This add-on is under development, as it is only in PUBLIC BETA phase.
Like any non-motorized aircraft, the glider allows you to take off and enjoy a moment of escape in peace. You live this experience with the winds. The feeling of lightness is exceptional at altitude, you will forget all your worries!
Included with full clickable cockpit, sounds and two liveries.
