Description:
This scenery covers most of the soaring playground for glider pilots from the Colorado Front Range area. It stretches from the high plains of western Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas to the high alpine regions as well as the high deserts of Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Its big, bigger than Condor 2 could handle, as is needed to not feel too restrictive compared to real life.
In the past, this region was a destination "Diamond Mine" for pilots to get their altitude badges in the mountain wave. More recently, its a hidden gem for cross-country pilots wanting to experience the widely varying geography and weather conditions.
Its a work in progress with medium resolution aerial photo textures direct from USGS / NAIP hand tweaked for matching, first generation Condor 3 autogen features, many airports to access all areas of this varied scenery. Only a few airports have been detailed at this point, the primitive ones still have an 'x' prepended to their name, primarily focused on sites with real life gliding clubs. More to come. A complete and current airspace model is included, although this area has relatively few restrictions.
