There is another way. You basically use the system keys to preposition your plane at a certain altitude, then save that as a starting position. You then load that starting position to begin a thermal flight.
As I recall there were several discussions on how to do this on the G3 forums. If you do a search for winch you should find it.

It has no launch except handlaunch, but here's what you do. Use the flying field called "Thermal Park." There are arrows showing various air currents, including some pointing more or less straight up. Mouse around until the plane is pointing right at one of the up arrows, but don't point the nose of the plane up. Just give it a level launch onto the up arrow, and then start circling. You'll climb out. This is pretty cheesy, admittedly. The DS is really fun, however; even a novice like me can get in the groove and really scream. I think that Horizon sells a simulator that has some kind of winch launch capability.

All it does is glide out of your hand. I looked in instructions and saw nothing referring to launch of a sailplane. The on screen instruction is point with mouse and hit any key. I am pointing into the wind. I do not have spoilers out.
