I forgot to mention this one before.

Would it be possible to ensure that on-screen text especially, for example flap and trimmer settings, are shown in a more contrasting or variable colour? When banked steeply in thermals it is difficult to read the figures against the sky sometimes. Not a huge issue but something that could 'enhance the experience' maybe.

Thanks.

I have mentioned this some time ago but I think it would be a great feature to have a set-up screen.

It need only be a small, dummy map area and have few of the scenery features but needs to be quick to load and re-load. I have found in the past that when experimenting to 'optimise' settings for a new joystick or other hardware, it can be frustrating to have to wait for the program to close and re-open with all the waiting time that involves, to see the effect of the tweaks.

This need not be about learning to fly a glider or competion but more about how to drive Condor to achieve a comfortable environment & response to pilot inputs.

Just a suggestion,
Graham
Wouldn't it be better to have the ability to detect new hardware in game ? and be able to change the settings in game ?

The flight computer needs a serious upgrade for VR users . It needs all the capabilities of a modern instrument

Chances are these may have been mentioned but, just incase:

1) a "custom" class:

you can set a task up on CC that will only accept traces from gliders listed either by type, handicap range, or class, could this be included in the sim itself?

2) a "classic open" class

all the other classes are split but the EB29 and JS1-21 have no class for themselves, yes i know the open class does mean its open to all but going with that logic, the gliders that are available in the other classes need to be revisited as most allow more than what is available...

3) being able to change gliders in-game

in most flight sims (FS2020 is an exception in normal mode) you can change aircraft without having to leave and rejoin, obviously you wouldnt allow it to happen mid-air on Condor, but maybe if you land back at the airport area, within the area that it thinks is the airport and where you could "relaunch" you could also have the option to change glider, within the parameters of the task/class setup

This used to be like that in Condor 2 originally. However it was decided to change it to all gliders available. Open class allows all gliders to be flown with only 850 kg max weight restriction, as you mention too. The reason this was done was that there is no default open class glider, so only people with payed add-on gliders would be able to compete in this class. With the release of the EB29 the open class was made a true open class so nobody would be excluded in competitions if they had no add-on gliders.

Yes, i have one very important thing.
When you entered to the flight, appears the message:

" XY entered the game"

What? What for a game? CONDOR is no game.
Could you please change it to " XY entered the SIm" or something like this...

Would be very nice.
Thanks, Uwe

If it's not a game, why is there a scoreboard?
