Condor Soaring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Condor: Competition Soaring Simulator is a gliding flight simulation that runs on PC.It was developed by two Slovenian programmers who are also glider pilots. Their main focus was to create the most realistic flight models and weather physics that would create a realistic feel of competition glider flying.
[edit] Features
Some features of the Condor: Competition Soaring Simulator are:
- Accurate flight model and glider handling
- Simulation of glider damage (i.e. flutter, G load, crash,etc)
- Accurate glider performance
- Realistic aerotow and winch start
- Set of Flight school lessons
- Accurate simulation of thermals, ridge lift and wave lift
- Flight editor that enables a creation of custom flights and custom weather parameters
- Good choice of gliders (ASW 27, ASW 28, ASW 22, Nimbus 4, MDM-1 Fox and ASK 13) with conigurable water ballast and Center of gravity
- Modern flight instruments in gliders and PDA moving map
- 3D sound support
- Force feedback support
- TrackIR support
- Multiplayer support for up to 32 pilots
- Possibility of recording and analyzing flights
- NMEA 0183 output
The terrain in the original release was Slovenia in 90-meter resolution but with the release of Scenery toolkit other sceneries can be created.
