We have final overall results and so we know the winners! 1st place belong to Sandor Laurinyecz (Hungary), after great last race on 2nd place appeared Martin Kožár (Slovak republic) and bronze medal for 3rd place goes to Jan Michálek (Czech republic). Congratulation to the winners and of course all competitors. Thanks for joining us!
Welcome to airport Krnov. Next virtual soaring contest is prepared for you - this time with name Praděd Gliding 2009. Praděd (1491 metres) is the highest mountain of Hrubý Jeseník mountains and Moravia and is fifth highest mountain of Czech Republic. The average annual temperature is about 1°C. A television transmitter is situated on the top, 162 m high. The upper platform is used as a watchtower. All starts and finishes will be done at Krnov airport. Competition class - 15m FAI.

Condor › The Competition Soaring Simulator
Condor: The Competition Soaring Simulator is designed to recreate the ultimate experience of competition soaring on your PC. A lot of attention was put in to create an environment which would create an immersion of real competition flying. This means that the aerodynamics and weather physics were in focus of the development. The result is amazingly real feel of flight in all flight regimes and weather conditions which challenges a real soaring pilot on a competition day.
Amazing feel of flight due to the advanced flight dynamics model: Advanced 6DOF flight model for complete freedom of flying / Accurate sailplane performance and handling – also at and beyond critical angles of attack / Sailplane damage simulation – flutter, high G stress, collisions / High time fidelity physics engine (up to 500 cycles per second) / Accurate ground forces for realistic takeoffs, landings and crashes / Detailed, sub-object collision detection for mid air and ground object collisions / Accurate conditions for a realistic towing and winch start.
More informations about this simulator you can get at www.condorsoaring.com. Some screenshots and movies from this soaring simulator also here.
