Dynamic thermal physics break at 738 feet altitude in Realflight G5.5. I demonstrate this with a hand launched glider I created for the sim which has a de-thermalizer tail. Once 738 feet has been reached, the glider is forever stuck in limbo. Watch the altitude closely along with updraft. The updraft goes crazy with wind speeds ranging from 0 to 8.4mph rapidly.
