Condor

It’s a good week for Condor scenery! On Tuesday we mentioned the Czech Republic Scenery had been released, and now it’s the turn of Alpi 3 photoreal scenery from Post Frontal.

PostFrontal is proud to distribute this revolutionary scenery developed by Bluangel56 for Condor: Alpi 3.

It’s not an upgrade for the famous Alpi 2 scenery but a brand new scenery based on very high resolution aerial photos which will give you the possibility to challenge yourself and on-line pilots on an unbelievable area of 135,000 sq. KMs (560 x 240 KMs), covering the full Alps, from France to Slovenia.

A total of 41 airports are featured in the scenery (click here for airport list). You can request the add of an airport in the area if it’s not included in the scenery, we’ll try to add it in the future free updates.

More than 70% of the scenery (all the central alpine area) has been created with very high resolution aerial pictures.

The British Gliding Association launched the Mark 2 version of its CyberGlide Soaring Simulator at the Airsports Show, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK. 

The all new simulator uses the complete front end of a two seat glider fuselage with the controls hooked up to a computer. 

The software, Condor: The Competition Soaring Simulator, is supplied and modified by Condor Team and utilises twin projectors to put the image onto a screen over 4m wide.

• Added multilingual support.
• Added g-force UDP parameter.
