Hey folks! I'm back here at SimV after nine months pause :)
Since i spent almost all my money to a real soaring i decided to spend my left money on a sim. Neither MSFSX nor XP9 doesnt represent soaring well enough,so i bought Condor. In my opinion its the best simulator of sailplanes on the market.
Here's some shots of my last route.

Hi unknown,

you should try some of the addon scneries for condor. They look much nicer than the standard scenery. I just got the SlovakiaCE 5.0 scenery with HD textures and it is simply awsome.

Thanks for advice Manuel!  :) I've tried newest SlovakiaCE and it really looks awesome,but my laptop just cant run it on suitable FPS... Too bad i cant find HD clouds on the web,maybe you have a download link?
Thank you

You can try some of the sceneries in the speedbattle download section:

Many of these sceneries have a lower resolution than Slovakia CE HD and should run better on your system.

There are a couple of different high resolution clouds that can be found searching the condor forum (scenery section). Look for Stylos highres clouds.
(I would post a link, but currently the condor forum is not working for me).

Lots of nice stuff can be downloaded for free from the condor club:

Best regards
