Hey Charlie,

Condor 2 is the place to be nowadays. Condor 1 certainly still works, but all the online stuff is on Condor 2 now.

Pedals are not necessary, but a nice addition. You could adapt to the twist grip on the joystick for yaw pretty quickly, so pedals aren't 100 percent necessary. Some people even fly with (gasp!) auto rudder enabled. But that makes for some sporty crosswind landings!

So pedals are nice, especially for pilots with a lot of real flying... it feels wrong not to be moving your feet! But you definitely could get started just with the joystick... pedals in the mail .

See you online soon!

All the best,
Daniel
