I am wondering what people think about using the Condor simulator to improve gliding and soaring decision making -- things like when to turn back given lift, weather, continuing to exploit lift along a ridge, and so on.

Does the simulator present enough varied challenges to help with this sort of thing which will transfer to real soaring.

I will need to purchase and set up a Windoz box to run this and isolate it on a subnet, so want to decide if it is likely worth the effort.

thanks.
