Hi everyone, i struggled a lot to host a dedicated condor server, because I am using my mobile phone to get into the internet. As I discovered, inside the mobile network the providers are using CG NAT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT) which makes things quite complicated. The best e...

Hi, because there was a lot of discussion about the wave model of Condor 2 i used my maths skills and just calculated them. Then I looked up at wave models in the internet and checked wether the calculated wave is realistic. At february there were a lot of bora-weather days with around 50 km/h wind ...

Hi, this is not central germany, but it will have the Wasserkuppe as an airport. I try to develop a Bavaria Scenery, but do not expect it being finished this year. It is a lot of work ^^ http://www.condorsoaring.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=17620&start=45#p158906 Greetings from the Alps, Han Schmid

The Screenshots above have lead me to the following conclusion: 4-Condor.png This would be a scheme of the thermal system with no wind, normal activity and normal flat activity. The sun warms the sunny side of the hills, there is an upslope wind . You can not see this one using the thermal helper, ...

Test flight with following settings: Activity Normal, Flats Activity Low 91 - Activity Normal - Flats Activity Low.jpg How i understood the usage of the thermal map with this settings the thermal map is not considered at all. As JanJansan mentioned correctly, Condor 2 does calculate the thermals at...

Hi Xavier, thank you for showing how to generate faster a thermal map. I did not know that you could do that a lot faster via QGIS. By a given time i will try to correct the thread above and mark the things I changed so other reader of this forum do not get confused. You are 100 % right that Condor ...

please, do correct me if Im wrong, as i could very well be wrong, but doesnt condor thermal model already automatically use mountain slope and solar strength to determine thermal probability outside the flat area's? Im not even sure the thermal map is considered on mountain slopes. Have you tried i...

2) Making the basic thermalmap really good While you are trying to generate the textures from Open-Street-Map, you use a mask with cities, water, quarries and so on. After you have created a texture-tile sucessfully, you save your paint.net-project (.pdn) with the layers and put write-protection on...

After you have processed the elevation data you get a hillshade model. It will look like this: 4-hillshade.png This is a picture of QGIS after processing the hillshade. You may easily see the white areas where the sun warms the hills and the dark sides where it will be cold. Why is this important? I...

Hi everybody, as I noticed a lot of people have problems to develop a fine and realistic thermalmap. In the mountain region I discovered a lot of strange things which could be easily changed by some tricks with QGIS ©. These effects I will explain below with some schemes. I will show how i try to de...

Hi Wickid,

will it be possible to have the objects at the homepage of condorsoaring?

That would be really nice for other developpers, for example i am too stupid for creating good textures.

Hi at all, since the new update of Condor 2 i miss the waypoints during flight. I am lucky to have a great ICAO-Map from Austro-Control so i can train navigating if i would have a batterie loss in real-life :D Of cause it is much more comfortable with a working PDA. To explain what i mean i have two...

Hi Jan, i meant a description or a comment below the video, not inside the video. For newbie it is difficult to find the right video, so i had to watch the full videos four or five times ^^ For Example "in this video i show you how you build the basic mesh of the runway. " "In this video i explain t...

Hi, first of all i use the method the Jiri described in the Landscape Editor Guide. The forest in my template is a full green. The b-Forest-Map-File for the deciduous forest gets an effect "Tile Reflection" with the settings 40, 50, and 1, but ONLY the green part of the tile, or the whole tile will ...
