In the last month we have released 2 new gliders - The Ventus 3 in 15m and 18m, and the ASK21.
Condor development continues apace.

Can you please add the ASW27b back into Condor II?...

ASW27 is the same as ASG29 in 15m, and we are adding that soon.

What about motor glider like ASH-31Mi, very popular.

An older glider, with particularly unique handling characteristics like the Phoebus, would be great. Particularly with this glider, which is so "responsive" (AKA "squirly"), would be a great learning tool to get some practice in without the risk of crashing it. This would be an ideal use of technology like Condor, I would think.

We thank everybody for their feedback. This helps to make Condor great!
If you want a responsive ship in Condor, do try the Swift S1. Thats really responsive.
ASH31 is on the list but its quite a way down. So many planes .. so little time..

Condor 2 is a big improvment over the already good Condor1 and the fleet is growing nicelly good matches for almost all categories except Club Class and Open Class.
I think you should prioritize some Club Class to fly against the Standard Cirrus ASW-19 is my favorite but LS-1 or Libelle might be a more balanced aproach.

I know this may not go over with a lot of newer people to soaring, i.e. more recently than the 1960s, but there are still quite a few 2-33s being used for training. It would be nice to have a model in Condor that approximated it's handling qualities, cockpit layout, sight picture, etc.

Dude......really!
LOL.......taken from someone that learned in a 2-33 in early 70's US, still use them for training and rides.
;-)
To heck with those that look down on it!
At least one advantage, pretty much ANY aircraft mechanic can work on it.
Additional, if you can go cross country in it, you can pretty much go cross country in anything.

We agree. EB29R will be along this winter, and I'm just about to get club class started. ASW19 and 20 will be first ;)

Let me get the 1-26 out first, then we will consider the 2-33.
There were ~50% more standard Libelles built (601) than ASW-19 (425) so maybe that should be on the list after the 20. Just sayin... :)

Well if your using that argument what about the 700 Std Jantars, 840 Std
Cirri, 1050 Ls4's, or over 1200 Astirs!

Come one they need to sale their Add on Gliders and ASW-19/-20 are just the sexiest fusealage look ever built till the Js3 :)
I don't think that 2-33 models will sale much

I'm desparate to get the Libelle done too, but there are only so many hours in a day. It will come, probably in 2019.
How about an aircraft builders toolkit like the scenery builders toolkit. The numbers of hours in a day would increase exponentially.
In any case, I appreciate the effort you and your team put into this!

It's not required. All thats needed is a 3d modelling program and skill to make the model.
You can do this with free programs. Wings3d is easy, Blender good too.

That is great news. Would you please put the ASW 20-B on your list to create? More gliders equals more fun.

Most likely an outlier, but it would be really nice to have a landing flaps-only ship like a PIK-20B, HP-11/14/16/18, or SGS 1-35 on the list.

There's lots of gliders not in Condor 2 that where free and included in
Condor 1 -and the additional 'plane pack's where much cheaper - not
that many of them actually saw the light of day. Now you have to pay
additional money for each individual glider as they trickle out every
month

Because of the higher quality of Condor 2 planes, none of the V1 planes were up to the required standard. So, we have been remaking them for Condor 2.
Some will be coming along, but we wont be doing all of them.

Yes, DG808 is coming too.

Planes I would like to see, in order:
1. EB 29, if posible with 2 different wingspans
2. ASG 29 (18 m and 15 m)
3. Discus 2 is still a great plane!
4. JS-3
5. A flapped 20m dual seater (Arcus or ASG-32)
6. Another club class plane (too many to choose from: LS1, DG101, LS4, ASW 19, Astir, Jantar...)
I think the first two are already being developed, great news.

Hello,
I am still a CONDOR V1 pilot.
Where can I find a ?package? for Condor V1:
- ASK21,
- ASTIR [ 1 pilot, 2 pilots (Twin) ],
I can pay of course (MasterCard).

Thats a terrible idea posting your license key on usenet.. :O
Condor 1 is discontinued for some time now. All development is for Condor 2. We have ASK21 for Condor 2, but we dont have any Astirs yet.
