I seem to remember there was a lengthy discussion here about PC soaring
simulators but I've not been able to find it again. Does anyone know
whether there was a concensus on which simulator was most realistic? I
seem to remember Condor and Silent Wings being discussed.

And check out the "Monday Night Soaring" Condor races (http://www.gliderracing.com/pub/) , held every Monday evening at 7 & 10 pm
Eastern time. Anyone can participate, and it's free.

Paul,

MNS East and West are the best times for US. Pacific is oriented
towards Australia/Far East and Europe is oriented towards Europe
(obviously).
As an east coast US person I can easily fly both the US contests in an
evening (although I can get too tired trying to fly both). The tasks
are
posted an hour before they are open for joining.

Also note that Condor has rolling monthly competitions in various
glider classes on the SpeedBattle.com servers. Good stuff and
challenging tasks! (but spend some time getting comfortable with
Condor, before learning how to play online)
