Hello
How to fly with several ghosts

[Gunth3r]

Assuming you have saved tracks.

Go to free flight > notam > on the right side under ghost > select how ever many of the ghost names (saved tracks) you want to fly with > start flight.

I've done with up to 5 at a time + me.

Cheers

Hello

Thank you for your answer, but what you explain to me I have already understood, this is not what I ask.
How do you record multiple ghosts in the same flight. One, I can do but several ...?
Thank you

You can replay more than one ghost flight, but you can record only the flight of the glider effectively flying, not the ghosts

On peut rejouer plusieurs vols fantômes dans un vol, mais on ne peut enregistrer que le vol du planeur qui fait le vol, pas les fantômes

If its an online flight with many players, you need to obtain the FTR of the other pilots. You can usually download most of them from condor club, then use those as ghosts.

I have a problem. I've recorded two ghost files and tried to put them in a flight plan. So far I've only been able to add one to a new flight plan, not the two, but the program is not recognizing either of them.
I've followed the directions (as far as I understand them). I go to the load programs section in NOTAM and select the .ftr file from the list (both are there) but I can only get one to show up in the ghosts list in NOTAM,
I've checked the box and left the box unchecked, started the flights but still no ghosts.
What am I missing?
BTW, its not the program, its the beginner/ user. I guess old helicopter pilots don't transition well to silent flight. After all, we don't actually fly, we beat the air into submission.
Thanks for your help.
Condor is awesome.

It might help if you posted the FTRs somewhere.
Are they both on the same scenery?
Did you deselect the appropriate filter if the ghosts where recorded in different weather, or different tasks or time or other settings?

FWIW, this is what it looks like when you download a bunch of FTRs from condor-club from the same competition flight:


I disabled the filters just to show them, as in this case they all share the same task, timing, weather, etc.

Thanks guys. The task was the same in all cases but I don't remember if I made any weather changes or anything else, so I'll try and disable all the qualifiers in the Ghost box and see if that works.
I appreciate all the help as always.
BTW, I just completed the 100 km Novo Mesto triangle in the Blanik and finally got the standing O for completing the course. 1st time to fly that flight plan too. Yea me. Not bad for an old 74 year old helicopter pilot.
That is way to cool.

One more thing.
I finally got the ghost to sort of work but I have two questions.
1. When I start the flight, the ghost takes off directly on top of my airplane and stays there until release from the tug, and is really confusing.
If I wait a couple of minutes, the ghost takes off and then I can start the flight and launch. But I never see the ghost again.
2. After I launch, I never see the actual ghost airplane again.... there is a yellow message that I'm assuming is the ghost that trails behind me but never seems to catch up.
I want to fly in competition with the ghost, so is the equal launch box the answer to this question?
How can I fine tune this feature.
I really love this simulator.
Thanks one more time.

wait a couple of seconds instead of a couple of minutes.
Anyway, the ghost is nothing but a ghost, it will not collide with you.

If I wait a couple of minutes, the ghost takes off and then I can start the flight and launch. But I never see the ghost again.
2. After I launch, I never see the actual ghost airplane again

in order to see the ghosts farther away, you should set the "Plane icons range" to the maximum value in the [NOTAM] tab.

.... there is a yellow message that I'm assuming is the ghost that trails behind me but never seems to catch up.

what you see is probably your own label (try to change the viewpoint with F2 or F3 - back inside the cockpit with F1)

I want to fly in competition with the ghost, so is the equal launch box the answer to this question?

Not necessarily, but it would sure help as taking off behind a towplane obviously takes more time than an airborne start so the ghost might have flown away when you arrive to a decent altitude.
One way to fine tune that would be by adjusting the start time & window of the task in order to make sure you take off more or less synchronously with the ghost

Hello,

Can I start ghost plane manual?
Yesterday I took off but ghost plane continue stay on airfield.
When I flew about 50 km - I saw him flying out of the cloud )
