Soaring Schools

Condor only runs on a PC. You can get a refurbished computer from Staples for around $200, to which you will need to add a $30 graphics card. A 24" monitor with speakers will run you another $125 or so. Since I prefer Linux/Mac, I've been practice-flying with the Silent Wings Soaring Simulator this winter: http://www.silentwings.no/ It runs on Windows/Linux/MacOSX. It supports network play. Silent Wings dedicated to soaring in a way that X-Plane 11 (which has towplane and thermalling as add-on features) do not. The towplane simulation is good enough that you can practice boxing the wake and slackline recoveries. I have mostly good things to say about Silent Wings. -Luke
