Christmas Minicup '08 › small virtual soaring competition
We would like to wish you - all members of big Condor family - Merry Christmas 2008 and happy New Year 2009! Cheeerz!
Next LONG race: New Year 500 km › 19:00 CET › thursday
Welcome to small virtual soaring competition. Only 4 task contest - no need to register, but condorserver will be password protected. Don't panic, password will be available at Briefing page. Length of tasks is about 200 km, STANDARD CLASS without PDA, serverstart always at 20:00 CET (19:00 UTC). Crash is scored with 0 points. Overall results is simple count of all 4 tasks. In case of your internet disconnect you have option to fly offline and then send me IGC thru e-mail. We are planning also New Year Fivehundreds - 500 km on beautiful scenery SlovakiaCE 4 (mixed class), January 1st, 2009 with serverstart 19:00 CET (18:00 UTC). This 500 km task will be not counted, but results will be here online too.

Condor › The Competition Soaring Simulator
Condor: The Competition Soaring Simulator is designed to recreate the ultimate experience of competition soaring on your PC. A lot of attention was put in to create an environment which would create an immersion of real competition flying. This means that the aerodynamics and weather physics were in focus of the development. The result is amazingly real feel of flight in all flight regimes and weather conditions which challenges a real soaring pilot on a competition day.
Amazing feel of flight due to the advanced flight dynamics model: Advanced 6DOF flight model for complete freedom of flying / Accurate sailplane performance and handling – also at and beyond critical angles of attack / Sailplane damage simulation – flutter, high G stress, collisions / High time fidelity physics engine (up to 500 cycles per second) / Accurate ground forces for realistic takeoffs, landings and crashes / Detailed, sub-object collision detection for mid air and ground object collisions / Accurate conditions for a realistic towing and winch start.
More informations about this simulator you can get at www.condorsoaring.com. Some screenshots and movies from this soaring simulator also here.
