You can now try Ramy’s scary outlanding on Lake Tahoe golf course on Condor

Ramy completed the real-life very challenging outlanding in a tailwind, uphill. His glider had a little damage from a groundloop. I’m guessing he did the groundloop because he was very close to the trees at the end of the fairway. See the golf course in satellite view and his landing track at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B8Y...ew?usp=sharing. It's the fairway furthest east.

Jim Ketcham and I removed the randomly-generated trees from the previous Condor Truckee landscape version (2.1) of the landscape that were covering most of that golf course, and put trees where they should be lining the fairways, from the satellite image. The golf course is also now an “airport� but you can’t take off from there.

In Truckee v 2.2 with the trees in Condor accurately placed the outlanding is challenging, especially the first time.

Try the outlanding yourself! It’s great practice.

You need the Truckee v2.2 landscape (came out this week). Get it from Condor Club (updater) or at skylinescondor.com/landscapes

Condor task for Ramy’s tailwind conditions: Starts over Truckee at 4900 ft AGL, you can easily glide to the golf course. 7 kt wind from the south:

Condor task for random wind practice. Starts 1000 ft AGL over the golf course. Quickly judge the wind direction and choose which fairway to land on. https://www.condor-club.eu/showtask/0/?id=15854 or http://199.192.98.227:8080/landscape...ndom_wind_1000 _ftAGL.fpl

If you want to add a “fear factor� for realism, before your first try call up a friend and promise to pay him or a charity some large sum if you crash on your first try . Or post here your $ amount first and then try it and tell us how it went. It works.

Ramy, can we improve anything?
