Description:
A small, photo-realistic, training scenery for the Tidewater Soaring Society soaring club, home-based at Garner Gliderport airfield near Smithfield, VA (east of USA).
The activity is focused around Garners half-mile turf strip. Launching to the south can be tricky if you get a low altitude rope break, as the south end of the runway has large trees about 500' from the end, as well as trees lining both the east and west sides of the runway. There is a gap in in the trees at the extreme south-east corner that can be navigated to a safe agricultural field landing. This maneuver is impossible to demonstrate in RL, but with Condor, it is possible, to at least, explain and safely practice.
All the airfields in GarnerGP are landable, with Wakefield having some added detail. Wakefield represents the “Holy Grail” to the new cross-country pilot. There are a handful of navigational landmarks, the Isle of Wight water tower, the Windsor warehouse & water tower, and the high tension power line along highway 460.
The scenery covers most of the inland tidewater, from just south of Richmond to the NC-VA line, and from just east of Emporia to the Great Dismal Swamp .
Please note that landscapes only work for their respective version of Condor. Condor 2 landscapes can be used on Condor 3 if and only if installed and converted with Condor Updater.
