This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Asobo DG1001e Neo aircraft. This mod is primarily aimed at improving the overall flight dynamics of this aircraft, providing a more realistic flying experience that is much closer to the actual aircraft. Several changes have been made to the flight model which are detailed in the Change Log file included under the Documentation folder.
This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping the download file and copying the mge-asobo-aircraft-dg1001-e folder to the MSFS Community folder. It will then replace the existing default aircraft in the MSFS aircraft selection screen, and will continue to utilize all existing aircraft Liveries. To uninstall the mod and return to using the MSFS default aircraft, simply remove it from the Community folder.
I also highly recommend downloading this excellent set of Soaring Weather presets from the Sim Soaring Club... Using these weather presets will make flying this aircraft much more realistic and enjoyable.

This glider can easily cruise at 150 km/h or more with a sink rate below 1 m/sec., which makes it an excellent choice for cross-country soaring.

It used to be openable but now it is not. There is no click spot on the open canopy lever now as it used to be. This mod does not affect this, with it On or Off canopy is now shut like the LS8 one that was unopenable since the beginning .

1) Before starting the takeoff roll, apply and hold full UP elevator, and about 1/2 UPWIND ailerons. As your speed increases during the takeoff roll, reduce the upwind ailerons to keep the wings level.
2) Immediately after liftoff, return the elevator to neutral and fly just above the runway until the tow plane also lifts off.
3) During the takeoff roll, leave the rudder at neutral and hold UP elevator to keep the tailwheel firmly on the ground to maintain the runway centerline until liftoff. After liftoff, DO NOT apply rudder to maintain the runway centerline heading since this would result in a sideslip, which gliders don't like to do. Instead, just leave the rudder at neutral and allow the aircraft to naturally assume the correct crabbed attitude to maintain a course down the runway centerline behind the tow plane, which should also have a similar crabbed attitude at this point.
4) After you are clear of the runway, slowly drift sideways until you are directly behind the tow plane as in a normal Aerotow launch. The tow plane will then be responsible for maintaining the correct crabbed heading for both aircraft to counter the crosswind for the remainder of the takeoff.
5) This maneuver will take a lot of practice to do well... You won't get it right the first time!

1) After touchdown, immediately retract the spoilers to keep your speed above 50 - 60 Km/h during the landing roll.
2) Release the back pressure on the stick to allow the tailwheel to rise up off of the runway. Apply down elevator if needed to keep the tailwheel off of the runway as your speed slowly drops.
3) Steer with the rudder and keep the wings level by applying opposite ailerons.

Here are the key things to know...
1) It will not start on the ground... you must be in the air to use it.
2) Turn on the FCU first, then raise the engine power switch cover and flip the power switch on.
3) You can set the throttle with either the knob on the FCU, or with your joystick throttle lever.
