Description:
SoCal2' is a Condor 2 landscape of Southern California that extends from Jacumba in the southeast corner to Bridgeport in the northwest corner.
It includes the major glider ports in Southern California- Crystal, Tehachapi, Warner, Inyokern, Bishop, Lone Pine, and Jacumba. It is 691 km north/south x 322 km east/west, 30 tiles x 14 tiles.
The thermal map is a good match for actual conditions on a good day. Lift is better over the mountains.
There are very few objects in the landscape other than the airports. The huts at Whitney and White Mountain are there.
So are the Tehachapi windmills. There are no water features.
The landscape is mainly from USDA NAIP crop survey imagery and is 3 meter resolution.
Visibility in Condor 2 doesn't have a 100 mile setting, so the Mojave will appear hazier than it usually is.
There is no wind grid in Condor 2, so the usual convergences are not there. The thermal map is 100% in those areas, though.
New in v2.2:
Water is now textured, thermal map has lift over airports.
New airports: Hemet, Elsinore, Torrey Pines, and Los Alamitos Army Air Base.
The Carslbad power station, a turnpoint for Torrey Pines on high wind days, was added.
Palomar Observatory near Warner airport was added.
