Numbers displayed with Ghost icons.

Post by Downed_Aviator » Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:39 am

Hi,

I am fairly new to Condor and I have a question about the changing numbers that display at the end of Ghost icon identifiers.
I assumed that they indicate the current climb/descent rate of the Ghost, which should be displayed in the user selected measurement unit, in my case knots.

I have loaded a competition and the track files from the leading competitors, but the numbers I see do not relate to the lift I experience even when flying very close to a Ghost. Also this particular competition starts with winch launches and when I observe the Ghosts taking off the climb rates indicated are very low, less than 1 knot, which is not realistic.

Have I misunderstood the meaning of these numbers? I cannot find any reference to their meaning in the help.

TIA

Hi,

welcome to Condor!

The numbers you are referring to is the distance between you and the ghost. I use metric units so it is displaying the distance in kilometres. So 0.50 is 500 metres which is maybe where some of the confusion came from.

Hope that helps!

Cheers
