Another one I've thought of and not seen mentioned - would be great to be able to turn off the screenshot notification text at the top, and just leave the sound. Often if you want to take several screenshots quickly the text ruins all but the first one because it takes a while to disappear.

Just 'toggle HUD' off and that will turn off the screen shot notifications as well. The sound of you taking the screen shot is still present.

Better VR support is a must for me, fully interactable cockpit with motion controls would be incredible but just opening it up to native steamVR headsets rather than Oculus only would be a huge improvement.

A more realistic wave simulation would go a long way to making Scotland more fun. We get a range of different wave influenced conditions here that just don't seem to be simulated in Condor. For example, weak wave that's constantly shifting around, rotor, wave bars that set up much lower than you can do in Condor (like cloudbase starting at 3000ft).

Hi,

As a task setter (for aussie task) It would be nice if we could better manage our task list using folders or even better make so we can pick where we want to save the flight plan. I am up to 150+ saved flight plans and it can take time to find something even using a naming convention.

I'm a task setter too and with close to 2000 saved flight plans I can only support this request

For those of us who use Condor for flight training, I would like several new features such as:

An option to have "REFLY" appear as soon as the glider stops and have the reset happen as quickly as possible.

Far more control over the winch launch such as set the length of the rope to match the available runway and set the power of the launch as a percentage of glider weight.

Finally, I would like to be able to set the XYZ coordinates, heading and airspeed for an AIRBORNE start.

I think all instructors would really like these.

I want the HUD for other things though! Would be nice to have the option to avoid having to keep turning it on and off

Related to that issue : it would be very very nice if Condor could remember the name of the currently open flightplan, so that it can be used by default when saving it (task setting sometimes implies some iterations )

In the same vein, how about being able to paste something (e.g a filename) into the dialog box ?
BTW this goes for all dialog boxes with text input

You are in beta team, so you know how, where, and who to ask

Beta team mates are not allowed to disclose they are in the beta team

If so, I wish it for Bre901, that's a very good request

Lol, the list of members is on the website on the credits page .

maybe the possibility to use 2 landscapes at once so things like the channel crossing (uk-france) would be possible

Don't know is it possible, but "JOIN TIME LEFT" -clock on GUI page(s) would be nice to have after connecting server and before actually joining the race. Especially for those who connect in very last minute still thinking that there's time to disconnect and reconnect.

I'm more in favor of getting rid of the jointime concept all together. I much rather have a "grid time" like in a real glider race. So you can join the launchgrid before a certain time, to get launched before the startline opens. If you are late, you can still join until the startline closes, but you won't be taken into account for the opening of the startline.

This looks even better option; You possibly have some influence on realizing this?
