View Full Version : Are you interested in building a Condor Photorealistic Scenery?
I've spent the past year learning how to build a Condor photo-realistic scenery of the Harris Hill soaring area and it was so stinking hard that I thought it would be a shame for me not to share the techniques with others.
I've written an exhaustive 100 page illustrated draft tutorial based on methods I've developed that are *mostly* GUI based. I've developed several tools including a spreadsheet that builds any dreaded terminal entries you may need so you can cut and paste them. At this point, I've made it as painless as I can imagine it to be.
Now I need people to test out my tutorial.
If you have a) time; b) patience; c) ambition; d) a fast internet connection, a speedy computer and plenty of hard disk space, I'd be happy to share the tutorial to help you build your own scenery. (no, I won't build you a scenery unless you have plenty of cash for our Junior program)
If you are interested, reply here with a way to contact you.

Hmmmmm..... it would be sorta cool for our area (Middletown NY). My son was messing with this the other year (until he figured out it was WORK!).
Pop me an email, let me & my son see.
HHSC, curious who you are? I've been flying there (here & there) since the mid (?) '70's.
Say "Hi" to the "old timers" from Charlie of Middletown/Valley Soaring.....

Hey, so enquiring minds want to know, is your scenery available someplace?

PS There is a Blairstown scenery which at least butts up against Middletown....

And to answer your original question, I might be interested in giving the
tutorial a shot. There's a certain gap in Condor sceneries I've vaguely
considered filling, and maybe this is the push I need to try it.

The beta version is being tested right now. It works great but needs some tweaks. Expect an HD and normal res version soon. I also need to model some items for the Harris Hill airfield.

Hi Tom,
I don't have time to play with it myself, but I'd be glad to publish
anything you want me to on my Condor web site.
I bet some people would pay $100+ for a scenery for their area...
Best Regards,

There is a scenery for the Middletown area. Stan Los from ACA built a scenery for the GCup area North and South called Blairstown HD. It can be downloaded on Condor-club.eu or gliderracing.com
Best,
Daniel

Tom Berry from HHSC. I've been flying there about 8 years. See Daniel's note below, there's a really nice Middletown scenery out there!

I'd like to give it a shot. Tried on my own a while back but didn't have the time to chase down all the rabbit holes. If you think you have it sussed, I'd love to check it out!
