Hi Frank,

Which region would apply to the USA. It is not clear on the web site.

I seem to remember there was a lengthy discussion here about PC soaring
simulators but I've not been able to find it again. Does anyone know
whether there was a concensus on which simulator was most realistic? I
seem to remember Condor and Silent Wings being discussed.


And check out the "Monday Night Soaring" Condor races (http://www.gliderracing.com/pub/) , held every Monday evening at 7 & 10 pm
Eastern time. Anyone can participate, and it's free.


Paul,

MNS East and West are the best times for US. Pacific is oriented
towards Australia/Far East and Europe is oriented towards Europe
(obviously).
As an east coast US person I can easily fly both the US contests in an
evening (although I can get too tired trying to fly both). The tasks
are
posted an hour before they are open for joining.
