Default Monday Night Soaring

Hey Guys,

I have updated the Monday Night Soaring tasks for the next two Mondays.

March 30th will still be in Slovenia (default scenery).
April 6th will be in AA2 (Alps!)

MNS is probably the longest lasting competition in Condor. It's been running continuously since late 2005.

This is one of the premier Condor events. The tasks are 1:45-2 hours in length, running at 7pm/10pm Eastern. They are more realistic and tend to be fairly challenging. The conditions are generally less forgiving. The settings are more realistic (Q disabled, real-time scoring off).

US Nightly Soaring was envisioned as the "low key", more informal series with shorter tasks that helped get people trained up to race in the "real" competition on Mondays. While some people really go for the ranking, US Nightly Soaring is more like a pick-up game. Come whenever you want, there will be a group of people there to race with. Come once a month, a week, or every day, it's all cool.

MNS is where people usually really cared about their performance and their ranking.

With the large influx of new folks (50 people on the US Nightly Soaring server last night!), I am looking forward to seeing a large group of folks racing on Mondays again.

All the best,
Daniel
