You're always gliding forward and slowly sinking. To stay up, find columns of rising air (thermals).

How to fly: You're always gliding forward and slowly sinking.
To stay up, find columns of rising air (thermals).
Finding thermals: Faint orange circles on the minimap show where thermals are.
Fly toward one. When you see "RISING AIR" on screen and the climb/sink number turns green,
you're in a thermal — turn in circles (A or D) to stay inside it and gain altitude!
Controls: A/D = gentle turns. Shift keys = sharp turns (costs altitude).
W = fly faster (but sink faster too).
Hold both brakes near ground to slow down for landing.
