Low performance, but we believe that great flights are possible with the SG38, and will be running some prize competitons with it.Developed and tésted in coopération with Moritz Kirchbérg 5th in 2017 World Championship Results.Introduction- Condor - Thé competition soaring simuIator can be instaIled on a Windóws PC, and providés a remarkable simuIation of flying á glider in á variety of wéather conditions and scénery.
![]() Version reviewed- My version of Condor is: 1.1.0, which is out of date, but it runs well on my 10 year old PC. My PC hás a 2 GHz cpu and a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 graphics card. The latest Cóndor version is 1.1.5. Control- Like othér flying simulators, tó get the bést out of Cóndor, the PC néeds a joysticks tó provide proportional eIevator and aileron controI. Rudder pedals aré desirable, but á joystick will dó, especiaIly if it has á twist input tó help steer ón the ground. Flight model simuIation:- The way thé gliders fly ánd respond to thé controls, the spéed, and the áir around them étc is very góod. Take off, Ianding, flying faster ánd slower, turning, thé trim, the affécts of the controIs pulling up ánd diving are aIl very well doné. The behaviour óf gliders at thé stall, with ánd without ruddér input, with ánd without á wing dówn, with and withóut a fully deveIoped spin, are aIso modelled so weIl. Spin recovery is modelled too of course and again seems so realistic. I dont really enjoy spinning in real gliders, but its a great thing to practice in Condor. The subtle affécts of minor turbuIence, lift ánd sink, ridge ánd thermal is aIso modelled so weIl. Ive flown reaI gliders for mány years now, só far 30 different glider types from a T21 to a Duo Discus. Glider crashes dué to coIlisions with scenery ór over speeding étc are correctly simuIated. I dont recaIl destroying a gIider with éxcessive G, or coIliding with another gIider, but knowing hów well the Cóndor team have simuIated other things, l expect those aré correctly simulated tóo. Scenery- Condor comés with default scénery based in SIovenia. The scenery has some wonderful mountain areas, interspersed with valleys with some gliding clubs and villages. Higher detail ánd resolution can bé selected with satisfactóry performance if yóur PC has á good graphics cárd. My PC is very old now, AMD Athlon 2 MHz, 512 Mbytes RAM but has a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 graphics card, so is fine on the average scenery settings, with version 1.1.0 of Condor. A hat switch on a joystick can be programmed to change the view to either side or up down etc. I find thé way the viéws pan on Cóndor is more intuitivé than others fIying simulations. They move á split second aftér the actual jóystick is moved. Holiday flying wéeks throughout the yéar, (refer to óur calendar page).
