Glider Sim

Multiplayer Event! (Sunday Aug 7th: 1pm to 4pm Central Time)
Lets try to get a big multiplayer event going this Sunday! Lets do North American Server, and look for room "Multiplayer Event". Lets see if we can fill a whole room with 16 people!

Multiplayer is Now Live! Follow Social Media Channels for Events!
As you might have noticed we have been hard at work implementing multiplayer! This is a large milestone for Glider Sim as it adds a whole new dimension to the game. We are now one step closer towards achieving the dream of soaring the virtual skies with your friends! Which feels awesome... especially when flying in VR!

You can now create a room or join an existing room. Each room has assigned settings to it such as weather conditions, mid-air collisions on / off, and the ability to force off wind and thermal visualization (incase you want to have anti-cheat soaring competitions). Wind and thermal activity is synced over the network! Choose a region closest to you for the fastest ping rate but please know you can still join rooms in other regions. It’s just your connection to the server maybe a tad slower, but still very functional.

Some fun things to try in multiplayer are close proximity speed flying, paramotor flying, soaring thermals together, and ridge surfing! Use the radio voice chat to communicate in a session and organize your flight! Speed flying down steep terrain with a friend is my personal favorites and something I wish to make even better by bringing new maps to the game with steeper terrain. Yes, new maps are coming soon!

I (Joey the main developer) will try to host multiplayer event every weekend or two. I will be posting the multiplayer event details on our social media channels. Especially the @5DRealities Discord channel! So please join Discord if you wish to keep posted about events. All our social media channels are listed here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1422940/discussions/0/3105763714505956626/ And don't be afraid to organize or host your own multiplayer events as well.

And last of all, here is some multiplayer action for you to enjoy. I appreciate everyone who has helped me with the multiplayer testing thus far. It has been a real blast and I'm looking forward to more fun times ahead!
