Your new textures for V3 do a great job almost as good as bump mapping Jan.
I agree, used them in several cockpit upgrades :D

Wonder if for someone who buys Condor 2 now, a free upgrade to Condorsoaring 3 will be offered, or at least a good discount ?

There will be something like that, possibly if you buy V2 within x months of V3 release there could be a free upgrade

But- we haven’t decided details of this yet so don’t ask how many months

I think it could be nice to add some procedurally generated crops, so there's more challenge finding a field for an outlanding and not crashing your gliding into the corn. :)

It would be good if getting out of position on tow caused to the tug to crash, it could be especially useful at gliding clubs to show pilots the true effects of tug upsets

Now a max wing loading limit can be set for tasks on CC could it'd be useful if when creating a task on the NOTAM tab a max wing loading could be set and that when set Condor would only allow to load enough ballast into the glider as set by the task setter.

This just makes it easier for users as they can just set to the max and condor will limit what is able to be taken based on what the task setter has set.

High resolution textures.
What do you mean with that? More than 8192 pixel for a tile? If not it has nothing to do with Condor 3, because the Condor team doesn't build landscapes. There are some people who do it for free, or Condorworld, they do it for a very little money.

If you know free sources for high resolution (satellite) images, please name them here, so they can be used. Else I recommand to look at the price lists ...
It is defently a wish to have tiles with option for higher resolution than 8192 pixel. If you don't know anything about landscape building, don't comment :shock:
Denmark5 landscape was reduced ALOT to fit into Condor 2, with extremly high resolution available, it would be very nice to be able to have 16k or even 32k resolution.
Cheers

You can use 32K. But with 3 screens you will get 0,25 fps...

And you will only see the difference when you are really close. Closer than this pic with 32K tiles from 0,6m data.
32K-06m-50%-compressed.jpg
You hardly see the difference compared to 8K when you are further away. And then compare that to GB increase (16x bigger) I see more disadvantages than advantages.

Hello;

Can we have separate visible distance setup of PDA icons and visible icons?
I whant to set no visible icons in the sky but 6-12Km range in FLARM/PDA, as it is in the real life.

Today that 2 visible icons are linked to eachohter, no icons in the sky = no FLARM/PDA.

Regards,

I mainly mean crisper and sharper looking textures, with bump mapping, normal mapping, etc, some scratches and dings visible here and there.
The cockpits for example are very clean and drab compared to a real glider. Some textures could be more glossy, some matt etc.
When I look at my cute glider I'm very happy that it almost looks

clean
and that my front canopy (LS 1) has no scratches. Why schould someone want to have scratches on his glider? - Also in simulator!?!

Your other suggestions I DO support:

Higher /sharper looking resolution textures (might be a dull due to the lack of multiple light sources, reflections, scattering etc?)

Speed trees or something similar to support dense forests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quwjw-NVZPc

ATC

Better lighting and shadows.

I as a consumer notices a lack in details and these are my wishes for what would improve
And this is also nice:

Here I would add, that the aircraft should sink, when try to land on water.

And if these aren't still not enough suggestions, OXO, please excuse me, I think of moving objects like cars, trains, ...

Well, I am afraid this is if very limited effect to all other players.
The proposed feature would allow one to create a fair, realistic task for all contestants.
