Condor 3 XC
Condor 3 XC has all the features of Condor 3 plus:
Bug Wipers to keep the wings clear of bugs and maintain high performance.
Hawk variometer to eliminate gusts which cause inaccurate thermal lift indication. This helps you center thermals faster and maximize the climb rate.
Live wind indicator to show the actual wind direction the glider is flying through. When close to a thermal this helps with indicating when to turn and in which direction for faster centering.
Flarm targets shows on the flight computer where other pilots are and their climb rate.

To install and run Condor 3 you will need:
• Intel i3, i5, i7, i9 CPU or equivalent. • Around 60GB of free drive space to run the installer. After install, Condor will consume 35GB
• A dedicated graphics card with 2 GB memory. We suggest the graphics card should have a benchmark score of 6000 or above (https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/). Lower performances cards can be used but you may need to reduce some graphics settings. (Integrated graphics cards and cards with benchmark result below 2000 are usable, but with severely reduced graphics settings)
• Internet connection required for activation

Learn how to fly
From the very beginning, Condor has been a valuable tool for clubs and businesses to train new pilots.
With a comprehensive set of built-in training lessons, anyone can learn to fly from the comfort of their home using almost any PC and a joystick. Many in our community have successfully done so and shared their experiences.
The lessons are structured into four phases: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Acro.

Understand the sky
Mastering the art of gliding starts with understanding how air moves. Thermals are generated by warm areas on the ground, such as fields, villages, or sun-facing slopes. These rising columns of air provide the lift needed for soaring flight.
Hills, ridges, and mountains create lift in different ways, producing dynamic soaring conditions. In Condor, all these atmospheric effects are realistically simulated, allowing you to experience the same challenges and opportunities as real-world pilots.
And if the wind is strong enough, you might even discover wave lift, carrying you high above the clouds for breathtaking views!

Start to play online
Its great flying Condor in single player mode, and some amazing flights can be made.
But the most fun in Condor is joining a multiplayer flight and racing. Having the other competitors around you in the air is exhilarating.
