Microsoft flight; the free to play version that failed. Is better and more realistic then this game; period. The beef I have is not with you; but with the sales pitch that it is; the game is in fact a real simulator. I tried using the glider that same night and I couldn't retract the propeller. Did I mention you can retract the landing gear on a whim and not damage the plane; it pops in and pops out; that should have been in your review Think about it; it's kind of funny; but that really represents what this game is; an arcade game.
What can I say. I managed to crash my plane on lakes and hills, and I crashed as well during landing with lowered gear when coming in too fast and too hard, and was resetted to initial starting situation. I also stalled the Hornet when climbing to steep for too long if starting the climb with a reasonable speed for the starting altitude. The engine however has magic power parameters. Try flying it at 3000 feet with 330-440 knots, and then turn sharp. My Hornet sooner or later will stall. If you push the magic engine stick to full max, don't be surprised if you reach 950 knots at sea level and then climb vertically to angels 40K.

And this pic
is from Aerofly FS , posted just some weeks ago. It shows the glider without propeller. Are you sure you have checked for needing manual keycommand defintion for raising and lowering propeller?

This video shows the glider in action in Aerofly FS - without a propeller.
