This beginners thermal for Seighford is not realistic at all as it is quite large and is made available only to help beginners work out how to use thermals to gain height. We recommend that once you are confident enough that you are able to gain height in the thermals you remove the Seighford Beginners Thermal from your scenery library and go for your A badge using the realistic thermals.

Eric Cardens' Cross-Country Soaring (CCS) is designed especially for real-world soaring pilots interested in practicing soaring skills or potential flying sites/routes during the days, weeks, and sometimes months between real-world flights.
We are making this software available here because it is widely recognized as being invaluable to the Flight Simulator Gliding Community. We have learned through other sources that no-one has heard from the author, Eric Carden, in the virtual gliding community for some time, and we are aware that other sites offer this file on the same basis that we do: in the well recognised spirit of sharing free resources among flight simmers. Should Eric contact us and ask us to remove this file, we regret that it will have to be withdrawn.
