Where is the condor 3 announcement?

OXO announces it in the E-SGP livestream. Listen to the interview below. I've timestamped it to where the interview begins, but the whole stream is worth watching.

I use condor for training. My flight school uses it in their simulator too. I know Condor is geared towards online competitions, but my primary use case is just flight training. I use it with a VR headset. I would like to see some general utilities added to make it better for training in VR-

• Direct Access to "Exit Flight" via an assignable button. Right now, you have to access the game menu, then use a mouse to click exit. A single assignable button would be great to drop you out of the game.

• Direct Access to "Refly" via an assignable button. Same deal, I'm finished, I want to go again. One button please.

• Maybe a "reset" that will take you to the beginning of the flight without having to go through the "refly" process. However, I don't know what this would entail.

• Ability to load a "checklist" via some sort of image, then pull it up while flying with a button. This would be great for training.

• Ability to start the glider in a predetermined point in space with a predetermined speed. For instance, 5000 ft, 50kts, heading 270, over this point. This would make running patterns easier.

• Lastly, it would be nice if Condor was compatible with OpenVR. There has been much discussion. Maybe Condor 3 is the time. This would definitely "future proof" the software not having it tied to a specific VR ecosystem.

Hi there,
I think that's already possible (unless I misunderstood) : if you fly on a multiplayer server, you can restart your flight with escape --> Restart as long as you've landed on an airfield undamaged.

• Ability to start the glider in a predetermined point in space with a predetermined speed. For instance, 5000 ft, 50kts, heading 270, over this point. This would make running patterns easier.

I guess you can just set the launch mode to "in flight" and set it to like, 300m (it's AGL). It's true that you're above the airfield instead of being in downwind (/wherever you want to be in the pattern) but you can then simply fly there.

In the 4th PDA screen, I think it will be very useful to see nearby gliders, as of screen 1. This will improve safety, when thermaling in a gaggle.

In 4th PDA screen please only show gliders in the same height band to avoid confusion.

OAT indication in the electronic Vario and Freezing effect for Water Ballast might be a good addition

FYI: people attempting distance record flights in wave use anti-freeze.

FYI, not allowed on all gliders

This can already be done. It is up to the scenery designer how and where power stations appear in the scenery. In the UK scenery the “Drax” power station has been modelled in 3D (Thanks Paul). I then made sure the that thermal map issued with the scenery had a ‘hot spot’ at the cooling towers.

Despite that it's still being used in those gliders :p

But would be nice to also have the condensation water over the cooling tower to be able to see the lift even in dry conditions.
