Re: XCSoar 7.4 has limit of 498 Turnpoints in .CUP file?

I confess my ignorance in the finer points of planning tasks, so this is an in-earnest request for information:

Why would one need 498 turnpoints?

Condor Control Unit?

That's just a Logitech (formerly Saitek) throttle quadrant. I've owned about five in the last 20 years.

What makes it special? What's it gonna do my throttle quad strapped to my desk for X-Plane won't?

Anyone?

Two devices can't have the same IP address. That's kinda the point.

Re: Condor3 and VR

I did my 1,000 km diploma in a Quest 2 on cable Link. Never did hit wave lift, so it took me seven and a half hours.

And the battery, plugged in, lived the whole way. I still had like 40% at the end.

Re: Condor 2 on Linux in 2023? Can do?

My VR is Quest 2. Condor requires Oculus Link software to be running to interface VR to the sim. Oculus Link cannot install in Wine. Revive doesn't allow ALVR to interface either because Revive requires Oculus Link DLLs, and one cannot install Oculus Link in Wine. I'm willing to attempt to install L...

Re: Condor 3 landscape images

I finally had a moment to settle down and I compared the new Slovenia 3 map to a real map and OMG it's HUGE!

A truly wonderful place to start for new simmers.

Re: Condor 2 on Linux in 2023? Can do?

I just tried under Lutris again, and Lutris installed a GE-Proton when I was telling it what program to install! It works great except the "size" error, which has no effect. There's always an "activate" button, but it's not relevant once activated. YAY! Works wonderfully. Next problem is........ VR....

Re: Chris' interview - Condor 3 announcements.

Knowing Chris, it is either the killer-diller promo shot to end all promo shots, or it is the greatest Christmas Fools joke ever played.

Only time will tell.

Re: New User - hos to start the race in the default task from free flight

What happens if you select the "Load" button on the Flight PLanner.

Just selecting a map from the upper right pulldown will give blank plans, usually.

Re: New User - hos to start the race in the default task from free flight

I'm not finding a "76 km triangle" task in my Condor 2 default flights. And none in Slovakia. That said, some tasks will show numbers in waypoints. like the 0-50 in the following: https://i.postimg.cc/pVfmsGZc/Screenshot-1.jpg The numbers are "minimum and maximum altitude to trigger the waypoint in ...

Re: Chris' interview - Condor 3 announcements.

I agree. We do not "deserve" any screenshots or previews. We are not "entitled" to anything from Condor, except the products we have already paid for. If they decided tonight to scrap Condor 3 and call Condor 2 their final product, I would have what I am "entitled to" from them. My working installat...
