Hi,
I have a question/issue, I have not used Condor yet, but are considering the purchase.
I was watching the results of the races and some IGC-files (great feature!!). I was wondering how condor is compared to RL.
I saw the winners blasting along at speeds 200-250km/h, only taking 3-4m/s. I have not flown in the competition region, but have not encountered such conditions (yet) in RL.....
Is the sim really as good as people say, e.g the conditions/ weather simulation/ competition simulation are a lot like RL?
Or are the conditions just like this, so you won't spend half the night behind your computer to fly a nice task, or are we all such idiots that we can't do that well in RL
Condor vs RL?

I thought of the same, but when you start thinking; I never dealed with 3000m cloudbase, and stronger thermalls then 3m/s (seeyou)BartBerendsen wrote:I was watching the results of the races and some IGC-files (great feature!!). I was wondering how condor is compared to RL.

While yesterday the worst thermal was 3.2m/s and the best 5.1m/s
With Mc3.0 and 200 liters ballast you should be flying 200 then..
A discus2 is a bit different than a cirrus75
The conditions set by the tasksetters are often much and much better than RL, (dutch weather)BartBerendsen wrote:Is the sim really as good as people say, e.g the conditions/ weather simulation/ competition simulation are a lot like RL?
The competition settings are often made more arcade, but if you want to (and I want..)you can make things just like RL.
The weather simulation is a thing I don't argue about anymore..
But I still believe that with lowcloudbases it is very RL related.
(I can't give an opion about ridge/wave/high cloudbase because I've never been there)
It would go too far to call myself an idiot but I have flown some interesting tasks (close to RL) between 250 and 400km,.BartBerendsen wrote:Or are the conditions just like this, so you won't spend half the night behind your computer to fly a nice task, or are we all such idiots that we can't do that well in RL
But not many pilots will join my session when they see the weather settings.
So I just join populated servers as the multiplayer part means more to me then RL-tasks.
Think positive, flaps negative.

Conditions are up to the tasksetter. Most people like booming weather. I like it more challenging.
I know that this year all tasks in Rieti were flown over 100km/h with peeks of 138km/h on a 350km task, so be prepared that you have to fly a bit faster And they said that this year was the worst year they had ever...
Buy it, subscribe to LL and I see you on Thursday
