Default New source to download Condor landscapes: torrents

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the feedback!

We've been running US Nightly Soaring/Monday Night Soaring for a long time and have found that operates in a delicate balance of challenge, variety, and classes to keep people interested.

It's very hard to keep virtual racing engaging indefinitely. It is exceptionally easy to make it too hard, too easy, or too boring. Flying in different places around the world is one of the ways we manage this and how we've kept people interested for approaching 9 years of tasking (~3000 tasks!).

_____________________

That said, we will do two things that should help.

1) School Class in Slovenia has been well received. Starting next week, we will lock in Thursday Nights for this scenery and class.

2) We will publish a list of sceneries in the contest description for the May (and subsequent) series of the competition. At this point, we have a reasonable suite of sceneries to work with, so contestants shouldn't expect to have to download landscapes on a weekly basis.

If we feel a strong desire to amend the list mid-month, we will announce any new sceneries to download a week in advance.

All the best,
Daniel
