I wanted to upload igc or track file, but this files are so big
(igc about 1MB and track file about 2Mb)

NINE HOUR FLIGHT!, did you stop for restroom breaks, as well as food breaks! That's dedication!

I've done a 4 hour flight and that pushed the blader a bit

[Serginho]

Congratulations for you patience!

Like desktopsimmer said, did u pause the game at some moments?



Ah, offtopic comment. There are 2 guys with same competition number "IM" and other 2 using VV.

I think that it's possible to fly 1750km.. Start at 8:30am and thermals are usable to 7:30pm.. It is 11 hours for thermal flying (with average speed 160km/h it is 1760km) + final glide with Nimbus 4 from 3000m QFE (it's about 150km).....

there is also a difference in wave flight races and thermal races.
Because wave and ridge provides long straight lines,
so you can do many 30k retours after eachother with an avarage of 220...
But it aint comparable to this,

Great job!

[Habicht]

Wow,
taht's just fuc**ng crazy ! but congratulations ! and the Speed is amazing !

[Lecso]

Do this online and with full real settings...
U can fly a never ending task offline.

But congrats for your patience anyway...

[Adam]

All I can say is, WHY?

But well done anyway.

i found it very crazy to fly 9 hours. But it´s a good average speed. congratulation.

[Miguel BM]

Sorry but this is not a realistic flight: thermal helpers = 20 km who makes easy to flight and go faster with the glider.
You know where are the next thermal over your patch and the strength of this.

I don't know the actuall distance record on Condor, without thermal helpers, alt recover and crash recover - RL -. This is a interesting record to beat !!

I make a 500 km triangle in less than 4 h (the largest distante for me on Condor sim) and my faster Condor race (on more than 200 km) was about 150 km/h (MC +4.5 and RL on thermal, not slope aid)

¡¡ Congratulations for stay about 9 hours on flight and 1500 km !!

Best Regards and nice flights

As I know in real life it's rarity to start very good thermik at 8:30 in Murska sobota. Usualy start of thermal day in Lesce is around 9:00, 9:30. In Celje an hour later, in Murska sobota yet another hour later...

It would be good if Condor team could implement weather specific for Slovenian terrain as they want to be simulator fully (well full can't never be) realistic.

Can you explain Tolovaj, for what season your data are valid, early spring, hot summer, early autumn??
