Chris, I'll ask again:

Is their any plan to make Condor 2 capable of supporting Virtual Reality (Vive or Rift)?

VR is a TOTAL game changer in flight simulation - it changes something like Condor from basically a procedural trainer (albeit an excellent one) to pretty close to a full-up flight simulator.

And compared to the cost of a big screen setup (especially a multi-screen setup) a good VR headset is cheap.

Head-tracking systems like Track-IR - or worse, using a hat switch or mouse to move your viewing direction - are handicaps for initial training - solved by the natural viewing habits learned in VR.

Please - consider adding VR capability as soon as possible!

There was quite a bit of 'discussion' about that on the forums and I think the official answer was no there are no plans for VR, but they are open to considering it in the future.


That is not correct. We said its on todo list.

Chris, that's great to hear - and I appreciate what you are doing - so will be looking for Condor 2 VR enhancement "in two weeks" ;^)

Anyway, I'll be getting C2 for my daughter who is just starting to learn to fly gliders - only the best!

Cheers,

Kirk

I apologize if this was already asked and answered on this forum but is C2 going to allow for tandem flying? I requested this a few years ago and I personally know of at least a half dozen other folks who have formally requested the same.

This would be a HUGE help in training.

No, but thats on the list too.

That is very, very high on my priority list too. The Condor2 team is aware that this feature would be extremely useful and popular.
