ok, here are some infos about how to handle gliders.
i have done a few expiriments on the 2 cheap gliders. the scout and the advanced scout.
the scout gliders are very fragile at the moment and a collision with a building, antenna or hills nuke them instantly.
but if you stay clear of those things you can have some fun with them.
to start one of them you need a small bumb. best is you push the autowalk button and head to that bumb and push your mouse a little up on the top.
dont push to much because the glider may stall and may crash to the ground.
once you are airborne gain some high and test the steering. the glider turns best in large circles and dont try anything you seen in topgun at that stage.
now that we have done a few circles in the homezone we try to zone.
get on medium high and head towards the zoneline. before you zone make shure the glider nose is a little up.
with the glider nose up and autowalk on you gain instantly some high after zoning. so dont push it up to much.
to fly you need to look ahead. when you zone do it best on flat terrain. if you are in the mountains use canyons to zone. its to dangerous to fly over big hills. if nobody is after you fly around hills.
ok, maybe you manage to take a flight and dont crash anywhere. you found your way back and now you have to land.
as in any other flight simulator the landing is one of the hardest parts. look out for a flat surface. it dont need to be big. use the backwards key to break you glider and do down. dont it the ground to fast and make sure there is no bumb to take off again. once you hit ground push the forward key to turn off the autowalk.
dont - dont ever just move on the ground when u dont need. walk to the ASG to despawn your glider.
OK, it happen you break your glider. bad luck. but this is not the end.
take the key and make a Blueprint of it.
then search for a salvager with around 115 skill (i dont tested lower or higher) by salvaging i get a lot of parts back from the key. the scout need some more spare parts to rebuild them the advanced scout. but both only need parts worth ~5000c to rebuild. on that there comes a fee for the recycler and the resercher/constructer. you can get away with 7500c when you are in a clan you usually only need a recycler.
when u are a little skilled in using gliders there are a few cool stunts. you can fly real slow by pushing your nose up so your gunner can hit more acurate. breakin and turning makes you fly sharp turns. gliders are lots of fun, and nothing more at the moment. the new feature of adding combatrang to a pilot makes them a little more atractive but there is still the problem that u need to land to loot your pray.
good luck
