BTW - could we have autopilot also in solo mode?
You can easily host the flight on your own machine and join in, then you are flying solo in multiplayer mode with available autopilot.

I like the pause in solo, because you can use it, if you have RL issues, like dogs, children or whatever living in the same house ;-)

I love the LX integration as I have LX9070 in my glider and can test fly my actual profile, awesome.
Hi,

I have a LX9000 in my RL glider, which I bought not long ago and I am more focused on flying the bird than playing with the computer. Yesterday I entered in a TchinTchin online competition and struggled quite a bit. I haven't modified yet the original LX profile, because I am unable to use my RL profile. Like @patjordan I have my profile in the SD card, but in condor I only see Weather profile and no files in the SD card.

My main struggles:
- In task mode I had a white map (could not see the mountains, but I could see the airspace)
- I could not see maximum altitude and speed to start the task
- I could not see ETA and DDH to the next TP

I am using Condor to improve my RL flying skills and to be able to fly when the weather doesn't collaborate with me. With the LX implemented in Condor 3 I can transpose even more learnings to RL. It would be great to have a pool of Condor 3 profiles in the LX Connect platform to try different solutions.

Try putting the profile file in the "...\LXSim\profiles\lx9070p" folder.

The "sdcard" is virtual, its a folder on your disk. Its located in c:\condor3\lxsim\sdcard. That where you need to put those files, and then you can import/activate them in lxsim.

My main struggles:
{…}
- I could not see maximum altitude and speed to start the task
On the goal of today TchinTchin race I learned the hard way that LX would not indicate "min. height: 1,400 m., max.: 1,600 m" feature of the last turnpoint. So I "turned" that TP and "finished" according to LX, but not to Condor scoring :oops:

I learned my lesson, but the more frustrating thing is that I can't find a way to add such info to LX9070 waypoint's zone properties — neither in «7.7.2.3 Zone (Modifying Zones)» section of manual, nor by playing with LXSim. Only the last point in a task (i.e. finish) has the adjustable "Elevation" property.

So… I understand that the whole point is the exact simulation of RL LX9070, but does that really mean that for Condor races I should also use a piece of paper with TP height restrictions, while Condor's flight computer readily indicate them right on the map? :roll:

Yes. Condor has more task setting options than LX supports. LX also doesn't support window type turnpoints.

I know! :lol: I meant SD Card folder in Condor 3.

Meanwhile I solved the issue. I download my profile from the LX connect profile collection and it started working. For some reason, saving the file directly to the SD Card folder didn’t work. But now, if I change something in the LX styler and save in the SD Card folder, it works as expected.

Ohh, happend to me too :( , trying out the LX yesterday.

But i think the LX might show it in this figure. I have to try but i think the number shows the arrival hight to the next turnpointaccording to your MC setting . So if one is 1500m hight it should have shown +100m. But it quite tiny and i thought i have to avvoid the Airspaice, I didnt notice that there were no penalties :)

It shows how much above or below you are to finish the TASK, not turnpoint.
But there is an info box you can add which give you this information for the next turn point.

Flew online task dual last night, but the flightplan was not showing in the LX, all waypoints were reached and pinged as we flew through them.
Am I missing something??

Are you sure you were in Task mode? The task will only be shown in task mode.

Was the LX set to the task screen? TSK in the top bar. Press NUM7 or NUM9 to switch screens.

If you open your profile in LXStyler (you can download this from the LX website), you can turn off the other 2 pages if you don't need them. By default the LX has WPT, APT and TSK modes enabled. If you turn WPT and APT off, the only map screen you will have is the TSK screen.
