Default Condor Soaring


I should mention that in my real glider I have a tendency to favor
circling to the left. Just a bad habit. When I started with Condor I
found my self doing precisely the same thing! And circling right with
Condor gave me the same uneasy feeling I got in my glider. Spooky
real... So, naturally I have been working on thermalling to the right
with the simulator. I'm confident it is helping. I'll know for sure
next spring.

The other neat thing about Condor is that it puts out an NMEA GPS
signal from your PC that you can plug right in to your favorite PDA
flight computer. Pretty nice for trying out new PDA software. The
PDA/software "thinks" it is actually flying. It may as well be.

Condor is full of surprising details. When you "look" out at a wing
during a hard pull-up you can see the wings flex in reaction. There's
a lot more.
