Unless it is possible to get a way of bouncing your seat when you hit an updraft and making you feel the G in a tight turn, I can see little that would enhance the experience. Admittedly there are shortfalls even in Condor, but they are liveable with and the eventual arrival of V.2 will probably fix the majority of them. So far no other sim has come close to Condor in those areas.
#P3D VS X PLANE 11 SIMULATOR#
If you have lived through all the other attempts at writing a good gliding simulator as I have (SFS4, X-plane, FSX, any many others) and also glide in RL as I have (2200 sorties, 1000+hrs RL, Silver C and Instructor rating) then you will realise that the key thing in Condor is the weather modelling and the aerodynamic modelling. I think unless you are a glider pilot in real life it is not going to be easy to explain why Condor beats all its rivals. They arent trying to make the comunity angry etc, just quietly working in the background and getting the job done. V2 and beyond is coming and as has been mentioned its getting closer, i know there are loads of people wanting release dates etc or news etc, and I know when they are ready to release that info in further detail they will. One thing I do like about condor is that by default its not based on photorealistic textures, they do look amazing i give you that but there are a few things that you need to realise, down low or very close up they look terrible highly pixelated etc hard to get a sense of depth, next issue that most use satellite imagery which means that the textures are accurate for a very short time as the shadows etc are only in the right place at the time the images were taken. Just remember that yes two guys are developing it but they are top of their field and when you consider what one does for a living then it becomes very very clear why the weather system is so damn good. What do we know about V2 thats been announced support for dx11, support for higher resolutions etc, improved weather modelling. We have world class competition pilots using condor simply because of that. None of which even after all this time have been surpassed. Me:The realistic weather system, the flight dynamics etc etc, the multiplayer system, the competitions. Why do you like condor so much? What is it that appeals to you.
Given the almost limitless way in which Prepar3d and X-Plane can have their weather effects and airframes customised and the epic good flight characteristics X-Plane in particular is known for, and not to mention the truly jaw-dropping scenery packs that are available what is it that Condor has that keeps us all here more than a decade on from its initial and only release, all champing at the bit for even a peek at what "Condor 2" might look like? I grant you there are many ways in which Condor is "much better" than FSX and that is extensively what I am asking about.
#P3D VS X PLANE 11 HOW TO#
I appreciate the gut response is that "there is nothing else like it" available, but how can that be? As it is I actually came across Condor Soaring while looking for information on how to fly the DG-800 in FSX -which it has to be said is "something like Condor".
As a new comer to the field who is currently in the process of building my first rig I'm going to play devil's advocate a little and ask, objectively speaking, what is it about Condor Soaring that makes it so good?
