Default Best Soaring Simulator??

Other options in Condor:

Set up and fly a task in Free Flight (single player mode).

Save the flight as a "Flight Track".

Re-fly the flight selecting (checking the box in front of) your saved 1st flight as a Ghost on the NOTAM tab of the flight planner. You will now essentially be flying the task along with yourself. Try beating yourself around the course. It is not as easy as one might expect. Whether you succeed or not, save the 2nd flight as an addtioan "Flight Track" (use a different file name), and fly the task again, using both Ghosts. Try making other in-flight decisions and compare the results. As you improve, it becomes increasingly difficult to beat yourself around the course.

Option 2:
Send your flight plan to one or more Condor friends, have them fly the task, save their flight as a flight track, and return their flight track file to you. You can then attempt to beat them around the course and vice versa. The poor person's Multi-player mode.

Enjoy.
