FES Gliders are now supported in Condor 3

2024-10-28T14:57:10+00:00

FES and electric gliders are the future of soaring, and now we have added the first one, a Duo Discus FES sustainer to Condor 3.

Use of the motor is simple and can easily be used for a low save, although we would not encourage that. Flip the master switch, then turn the knob on the FES instrument and it starts up instantly. Away you go!

Condor Control Unit from Cumulus Soaring

2024-01-06T09:07:07+00:00

The Condor Control Unit enhances the simulation experience with Condor – making it easy to fine-tune the virtual sailplane’s trim and finesse the airbrakes. It is especially useful when using VR Goggles. It is a great companion to the Condor-Keypad too. I would argue that a full-size “sit in” simulator rig is not necessary for most users. Not many of us have room for a huge aviation simulator rig in our homes. They make sense in soaring club clubhouses, but not in homes and apartments. A joystick, rudder pedals, Condor-Keypad, and Condor Control Unit get you 90% of the functionality of a sit-in simulator rig – especially when using VR goggles or multiple monitors.

  • Works great with Condor Soaring Flight Simulator
  • Works great in other flight simulators
  • 3 levers for smooth control of airbrakes, trim, and flaps. May optionally be assigned to other functions – such as throttle for a motorglider.
  • 3 x 2-way rocker switches allow control of 6 user-definable digital inputs – assigned to any digital function in the Condor software
  • USB A male rectangular connector for connection to any PC
  • Extra colored knobs are included – so you can change the knobs as desired. 3 black, 2 red, and 2 blue knobs are included. A long black knob is also included which can be used to control all 3 levers at the same time – as when flying a multi-engine airplane in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Many sailplanes have the trim lever colored green. You may want to paint one of the knobs green. I don’t think that is necessary, unless you’re using the system for primary training in a club or commercial soaring operation.
  • A mounting adapter is included for clamping the Condor Control Unit to the edge of a table or desk. The adapter can be mounted to either the back or bottom of the Condor Control Unit. 4 screws are included for attaching the mounting adapter to the control unit.
  • Compatible with: Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10
