Task A

DAVID GEO ROMBACH 25.02.2025 04:11:55

Thank you both.

Brad 25.02.2025 03:28:14

Well done, Dave! It looked like a bit slow going at first, but then you did a nice job picking it up and getting to the goal!

Thanks guys. My flight was an interesting mix of thermal and low wave. I didn't want to spend the time climbing high in the wave and just bounced through wave lift bands as I headed East. I was happy to have a ballasted '20 to reach my first lift after release...and for the last leg home! I agree that tow pilots should be more accommodating to those of us on the other end of the rope! ;-)

Peter 24.02.2025 22:03:11

Good flight, David, well done!

David 23.02.2025 15:08:53

Very good flight in deed , Brad Looked great.

Peter 23.02.2025 08:39:41

Great flight with the ASW20, Brad. Unfortunately not the strong wave like I got with the DG100, but a very good result.

I wish we could control the tow plane a little bit, I suggested it on Condor forum, but until now they prefer tow pilots towing us in mountains or far away. I remember an SG38 flight where the tow pilot released me over a huge forest, without a lift I couldn't reach the border of the forest. I got the lift, but IRL we would have a very serious talk after that flight

Thanks both, with the SF28 I also didn't find that nice wave like at the DG100 flight, but it worked with strong climbing and strong sinking. Speed is your friend when it goes down. The route is IMHO a very good one, because it's easy to navigate with the two lakes leading to the airport.

I'm out of office this week from today, good luck both with your flights, I wish you a nice wave flight, it's really amazing when it happens!

The updated task runs on C2 server too

DAVID GEO ROMBACH 18.02.2025 06:38:15

very good flight on the SF28 , like Brad says , you got the routing down.

Brad 18.02.2025 05:43:12

Yes, good flights, Peter!...Libelle and SF28. Looks like you've got the preferred routing figured out for this one already! I did give it a try a while ago, Condor 2, but was not very successful. I'll download the updated tasks and give it another go.

Peter 15.02.2025 06:37:45

Thanks, was not the easiest one. With the DG100 I found a wave and flew very high, that wasn't the case here. But was flyable nevertheless.

David 15.02.2025 06:31:35

Nice flight with the Libelle, good job.

Peter 06.02.2025 09:04:48

Thought about the wave and changed the fpl for Condor 2, it has now the same upper wind speed like Condor 3. Replaced the fpl in the task document and on the server.

I got climb rates of 5 + m/s, 10 knots in the wave in Condor 3, hope it will work correct in Condor 2. Good luck!

Peter 06.02.2025 07:39:48

Thanks. I hope the wave in Condor 2 is as good as in Condor 3. Because of the different weather model Condor 3 tasks get more wind, did the same with upper wind speed, but have to learn if that is ok. I can control both wind speeds, so if the wave doesn't work I can set upper wind speed higher. Unfortunately I don't have the time to try it now

Brad 06.02.2025 06:14:50

And a smashing start to Task A with the DG, Peter, well done!

David 05.02.2025 16:21:47

Beautiful picture in the wave.

Peter 05.02.2025 14:32:05

NewZealandN3 is ready, changed the flight plan on the C3 server (OneDesign) for using this landscape. The C3 flight plan for NewZealandN is saved in the task document too, both flight plans can be used in C3. NewZealandN3 is the version with autogenerated buildings.

OneDesign for Condor 2 will still use NewZealandN

Peter 04.02.2025 22:22:43

Thanks David, ridge was not that strong, but wave. Made a lot of pictures, will search for a good one

Peter 04.02.2025 22:20:16

I promised better weather and was a little bit scared if it will work in this task, but flew my first wave flight today. I could have got more points from the flight, but not more fun, wow, that was exciting. I hope the weather is similar good in Condor 2. Good luck all!

David 04.02.2025 22:18:36

Great flight , Peter. Ridge lift must have been good..

Peter 04.02.2025 05:56:09

Thanks, Brad. I liked to make that task, it's really a good start in the new season

Brad 04.02.2025 03:45:48

Good way to start the series, congratulations Peter. You are always tough to beat! ;-)

Peter 02.02.2025 16:39:56

Thanks and good luck. It's a nice task and good possible to beat because my flight started bad, was much better later

David 02.02.2025 15:30:37

Nice Libelle flight . I’ll try to beat it.
