Hi All
Been looking through the forum and YouTube about Condor 2. Want to buy it and get some practice in, but, it seems a nightmare to set up??
Is it a plug and play sim?? or do you need to have a degree in Computer sciences?? or should I wait, hopefully, for Condor 3. Apprecite your help/advice.....

Re: Newbie........Thinking!!
Condor is rather easy to set-up if you use one flat screen and "regular" joystick and pedals, you definitely don't need a degree in Computer Science
Just like any rather complex application, taking a look at the manual is not a waste of time
VR is quite straightforward with Oculus, more complicated with other devices.
However I think it would be wiser to start and train with a flat screen before going to VR (unless you are already familiar with VR)

Re: Newbie........Thinking!!
I have had the odd issue with Condor but nothing that wasn't fixed quickly. And I don't have a degree in computer science!! I would suggest you give it a go. It's a great sim!
The only thing I have had a problem with in the past is enough hard drive space. My last computer only had 250G SSD and after windows and all that crap I didn't really have any space for additional landscapes. As an example Arc Alpin 2 is 50gb. A smaller landscape I have is 25gb. Is there is ways of putting landscapes on a separate hard drive to where Condor is installed but that's beyond me!

Re: Newbie........Thinking!!
If you lack space on C:, I would recommend that you install CondorUpdater before you install any additional landscape and set it up so that it installs the landscapes on a separate HD.

Hello Tel1,
Just to give you my opinion as a casual simmer (neither VR nor external PDA here) : Condor 2 installation and set up is straightforward, especially compared to the endless tweaking required to get FSX running somewhat smoothly. Just about a dozen drop-down menus to configure.
The most time-consuming item was getting the correct anti-aliasing mode with my GPU, but this is not related to Condor2 itself. And I must confess that AA is something I am quite fussy about.
All this makes Condor (1 and 2) is the easiest sim to set up I have ever installed (FS9, FSX and P3D, Falcon4 BMS, LOMAC, BlackShark1, Il2 series, and a few others I can't remember).
You may want to give us a little more about your simming background so that we can provide you with a relevant perspective.
PS : And Bre901 is right : Condor Installer is a must.
