Condor sim questions

No answers from the contacts at their web page (not a good sign), so I'll try here.

(1) Do I understand that a trial/demo version is not available? (I have to fully risk my kids' college fund first to see if I like it?)

(2) Can the NMEA stream to a real, external PDA/PNA/Oudie optionally include $LXWP_ sentences (thus simulating an LX5000, LX7000 or LX7007 in the virtual glider)?

(3) Similarly can the same NMEA stream include data from a virtual PowerFLARM?

1. Correct as far as I know.
2. Correct, LXWP0 and LXWP1 I think.
3. It does not include this data.

Hi Ted,

Someone already answered questions 2 and 3 correctly.

The authors of Condor has chosen not to make the installation program freely
available online. No demo version is available. However, at $59 it is a
pretty good bargain. You can try it using your mouse and add a joystick and
rudder pedals later if you like it.
