Even if you just fly in calm air, if Aerofly had winch launch and towing planes it could still be a great tool for glider flying schools, instructors or for the casual pilot that wants to improve his/her own skills in the most critical phases of flight.īut on the upside, its great to hear that there is growing interest for gliders at least here in the forums and that you guys are really keen to see a new glider simulator. But winches and glider towing is certainly something that a lot of people would like to see and that may not be as complicated to add.
Modeling wind fields and realistic thermal behavior and creation is not an easy task but I think this may come with "the weather update" of the Aerofly sometime in the future. Sure there are a few thousand people who would love to soar in a new sim but there are so many more people that want airliners. So from a financial point of view there just isn't enough demand which sale numbers also indicate. More gliders and a scenery development kit are expected soon. If you had an account on with at least one post, you do not need to re-register. Its not going to appeal to the fast-jet wannabe pilots, but as the quote goes If flying was language, soaring would be its poetry.

It can also be run from a command-prompt window or from a batch file (.bat) or in drag-and-drop mode Current version: V2.0 () Download (Zip file) README.
To do this locate UDP.ini file in the Condor folder and set the following values there: General Enabled1 Connection If FreeCondorInstruments.exe running on the same computer then Host must be 127.0.0.1 Hostfpl files Version 2.0 now features a GUI. Program intercepts UDP output of Condor and so UPD output should be enabled. The thing is, there is probably a reason why the other soaring simulators are a bit aged and that probably has to do with the small community that would buy such a sim. The ridge/thermal/wave lift generated in Condor are very convincing, and the effect of reaching cloudbase is uncannily realistic. CoCoCo: COndor COordinates COnverter Converts Latitude and Longitude to Condor XY coordinates and it can generate waypoint data for.
In real life I'm also a glider pilot and would like to see Aerofly becoming a good platform for glider pilots, too. (2010) Hugo Chavez's geopolitical rivalry reaching soaring new heights.
