Donat-Pierre LUIGI

D-6 before the first official race of this 1st Virtual Sailplane Grand Prix - World Final 2021 !

Donat-Pierre started gliding in the UK back when he was an engineer student and then continued his passion in the USA when he had the time to do it ! He never gave up gliding, thanks to Condor and Virtual Reality. After winning the first FFVP eSport Series back in December 2020, he decided to restart flying in real life ! He has done his first solo again after a few flights, and got his license. He already flew more than 300 hours in 2021, departing from the famous club of Challes les Eaux, in the French Alps !

You must know that Donat-Pierre is a real geek, interested by anything that sails or flies ! Indeed, the french pilot is addicted to sailing races as he was practicing it when he was younger at a high competitive level.

Does it remind you of someone, who has already won more than 16 FAI World Gliding Championship ? 🥇
Sailing and Sailplane races have definitely common points... ! 💨⛵️

You can follow and support him everyday with the competition starting on the 5th of September.
Follow the race soon on : http://esport.sgp.aero

Donat-Pierre will be flying the Ventus3-18m during the competition ! His French livery can be downloaded here : http://condor.club/srchgoodies/0/?id=3095
Try it out now ! 🏁

Message sent to the competitors of the OPEN Virtual SGP on Condor.Club.
You can still register ! https://www.condor.club/comp/show/0/?id=592

Hi everyone,

Welcome to this 1st Virtual SGP - World Final 2021 - OPEN !

Thanks for joigning us in the development of eSport contest with Condor.Club and the Condor Team.

You may find all the information you need on http://esport.sgp.aero in the "Uesful Information" section.
I strongly invite you to read the local procedures and the self-briefing.

Nevertheless, there are some small differences between the Official and the Open event :

- Servers : We will launch races with maximum 40 pilots (instead of 20) per server. We are aware of the high number of competitors on the 18h00 UTC slot and we will create enough servers for you to have a place to fly. Please do not forget to read the briefing sent by Condor.Club approximately 1 hour before each race. You MUST join the servers with the password given by Condor.Club (that is on your briefing sheet).

- Start line will be bigger than for the Official event, as you will be 40 pilots to cross the start line at the same time. Expect a line of 10 km (2 x 2.5km). There will be an altitude limit, but no speed limit, as we want you to focus on what is going on around you, and not on your instruments. Please watch out and don't cross the line at 250kph. Try to fly safely, gliding is a game, even in VR.

- Arrival : you may land anywhere on the field, there are no penalties, just make sure to cross the line (press J to see the TPs)

- Scoring : you must deliver your FTR file to Condor.Club asap, after landing. If you quit the game to quickly, you can retrieve your last flight in Documents/Condor/FlightTrack --> LastTrack.ftr ! The races will be scored with a 1000pts baremic scale, as it is impossible to score you all with only 10 points for the winner.

- Landscape & Condor : Please use Condor 2.1.7 coming out in a few hours & AA2 V0.8

- Skins : you may use the liveries created by .tail. They will all be available on Condor.Club "goodies", before the training day on the 4th of September.
We hope that you will like them ! It' been a lot of work.

- Tips : There is a simplified map of the French Alps on our website. It should help some of you.

- Prize giving :
Big news for you ! Condor Team is offering gliders to the best pilots of the Open Contest :
Podium = 3 gliders offered per pilots
4th and 5th = 2 gliders
6th to 10th = 1 glider



You are kindly invited to follow the news on https://www.facebook.com/faisgp for the official SGP races in St Auban.
And on https://www.facebook.com/events/249553263700564 for the 1st Virtual SGP.

Livestreaming & commentaries will be available as from the 5th of September on https://esport.sgp.aero/live with Live Race Coverage and Replay on Twitch, Youtube and Facebook ! Do not hesitate to subscribe to our different channels.

Remember : the task you will fly every evening, will be the task that the real pilots will fly at St Auban ! So if you follow the real event during the day, you will probably grab some tips to perform in the evening on Condor 2 ! ;-)

Please share the contest in your clubs and to your friends, I hope that we will make a successful event together !
You can contact us for any question : esport.sgp.aero@gmail.com

Kind regards,
Antoine Havet & The SGP Team

Francois Paul 🇿🇦

D-4 before the first official race of this 1st Virtual Sailplane Grand Prix - World Final 2021 !

Francois is recreational hang glider pilot from the Cape mountains, in South Africa. He moved to the Netherlands a couple of years ago and he desperately miss mountain flying ! So, together with a small group of Dutch hang glider pilots, he started playing Condor to scratch that itch.

He has never flown a real sailplane, but, partly inspired by Condor, he has just acquired the ultimate glider : an Aeriane Swift'Light - and look forward to learn all about harnessing microlift soon !

We are betting that Francois will try gliding is the Alps soon... isn't it ?

The South African pilot is the only representative of the African continent. He his replacing Matthew Scutter, from Australia, who has had to withdrawn from the competition.
Matthew will be with us in the evening to comment the races on our channels : https://esport.sgp.aero/live

You can follow and support him everyday with the competition starting on the 5th of September.

May I politely suggest to turn on Mid-Air Collision recovery in the open competition. I know we have to keep a good lookout and it mostly went well today. But your night can be severely ruined by somebody else who doesn't really care. Not to mention if somebody were to deliberately crash into someone to ruin their chance of winning the competition.

Usually the height loss resulting in having to recover from a spin after a collision is more than enough penalty for this offence.

It is a bug, they talked about it in the briefing. Should be fixed tomorrow.

To the organizers, thanks for enabling Midair Collision recovery :D
