All the best,

Thanks, Daniel, for keeping the race tasks going, but...
I learn way more by flying with the ghosts of the really good pilots who fly your races. Example would be JSmiley's flight tracks from the races (available in
www.condor-club.eu). I don't feel that I'm quite good enough (yet) to fly the actual races...not that I can't make it around the task myself, but if I fly behind a ghost glider I just learn way more coz it visually points out all the mistakes I make compared to him, and I can try it over and over again until I start making fewer mistakes than he, and beat him. Then I download another racer's flight track on another race, and start all over with the learning.
If the really good racers simply aren't going to fly in Condor anymore, then I'll just start flying the race tasks you put out there by myself, but I was just curious why they all left, especially when the simulator is so much better than it used to be. (I'm sure it's NOT because they don't like your race tasks - you always did a great job with that in my Condor 1!)
I just bought a pickup truck so I can move my PW-5 up here to Georgia soon from Miami. Here I can start flying cross-country in real life. Condor 2 is helping me greatly with that learning, especially since some nice person put out a Georgia landscape for Condor 2.
Of course, if you (Daniel) didn't upload the tasks then the great pilots couldn't fly them and consequently, I wouldn't have your ghosted tasks to learn from...so please keep doing that and hopefully the condors will return in force some fine day :-)
As for the Condor 2 and the Oculus Rift S VR, for those of you who haven't purchased yet: I bought a good gaming pc from Costco for about $1200 (ASUS "Republic of Gamers" with an Intel I7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card). This was what Condor 2 recommended and works great for me, i.e. no lags in the display, even when I move my head quickly from side to side or up and down to see the cloud above). I hear that one can get away with a less powerful processor and/or video card, but the extra money I paid I just chalk up to "life insurance" since I also fly in real "life", and want the best simulator I can reasonably get.
