A feature I'd love to see in C3 would an in game options menu.
Now every time you don't have a button paired correctly you have to exit.
This would solve lot's of problem due to joystick or the loss of the setup which occurs time to time.
Another cool feature could be the possibility to change the weather during the flight, this could make the tasksetter's life easier.

Hey there,
I've got a suggestion that might sound stupid but that's been bothering me for a while now :

Would it be possible to teach that pillock of a pilot to use his bloody left hand to fly the sailplane while using his right hand to maneuver the ballasts/landing gear ? I'm sure it would avoid many crashes/hard landing just before the finish line in the future :roll: .

Cheers.

...especially if you keep flying the plane and wait until you have crossed the line and pulled up before you open the WB and lower the gear (assuming a high speed finish as in about 98% of online races)

Hello, it would be good since we all use xcsoar the program at the same time that it saves fpl, it would also do it in task format in the specific xcsoar folder, I also find it interesting to add wind arrow in PDA on the map screen and have the tracking option and not always the north up, that the gliders are loaded with water by default
No. No we all don't use XCSoar. I agree with the sentiment of having optional flight computers which we could choose for our glider - however, I think the best way to do this would be to offer something like a flight computer SDK - where flight computers can be kind of like "plugin modules". This way, if the open source community wants to add an XCSoar version for Condor, all they would have to do is integrate with the SDK - even easier if the SDK is based off of something like NMEA.

That way, if some of the commercial flight computer companies would like to offer implementations of their models, they can just simply supply an installer that installs the plugin.

Hey everyone:

I have a couple of request for the new Condor V3:

First: In Virtual Reality, the change from Oculus to Open XR as native software to use in VR in Condor V3.:

"OpenXR seeks to simplify AR/VR software development, enabling applications to reach a wider array of hardware platforms without having to port or re-write their code and subsequently allowing platform vendors supporting OpenXR access to more applications."

This feature has been requested several times in different forum threads...

Secondly: In single player mode, the possibility of being able to save your progress. So you can perform a long flight even when you have to quit in the middle (it happens to me too many times...) and you don´t want to put the simulation in "pause" mode for a long time.
This feature has been requested before too, in more that one forum threads


As I usually say: Gooodbye and Goood flights (AH, and a Happy New Year too)

Hi,

What about radio Channel spacing 8,33 kHz instead of 25kHz in Condor V3 ?
Greetings

refering to this post viewtopic.php?f=29&t=20863&p=177049#p177049
---------------------------------------------------------
  • keep purchased gliders --> as promised
  • weather update (including weather maps with wet and dry areas, fronts and more, convergences, more cloud streets, thunderstorms, rain, snow (+landscape) and moon&stars on evening/night)
  • real Vne viewtopic.php?f=39&t=20476
  • sloped runways
  • radio communication included into Condor software
    or maybe a colaberation of Condor with a Teamspeak addon (8.33 kHz spacing)
  • flying birds (thermalling and transiting in an realistic quantity) --> dev answer
    animals and ground traffic in scenery
  • FLARM
  • eventually electro-competition (like e2glide), electro-gliders
    FES/Jet for Ventus, Discus, Duo, JS (RES), LS8, DG1001, Arcus selflaunch
  • double seater features
  • his topic: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=20863&start=135#p177825
  • restart button also in single player mode
    possibility to safe flight progress / flight situation
  • option to fly gliders like ASK21 and Ka6 in club and school class (ASK 21 maybe also acro)
    or DG-1001 18m (acro version) in acro, school and multiseat class
  • more VR-support, even if we can be glad about the oculus support

I miss a save function to save a flight and continue it another time.
Second, I miss a function that i can start a flight in air at any location, not just above air fields. Would allow me to get used to areas without wasting time to fly to the area.
Third, a small window with a side view would help for orientation e.g. when flying a landing pattern.

Are there already pictures of the DuoDiscus for V3. I really like the plane but the winglets are not so nice and the model looks also very angular. And also the wingflex is a bit too much for my impression.

In general pictures or a teaser of Condor 3 would be very nice :)

Sure there are pictures, is this winglet better? :wink:
