Not often we see screenshots from Condor here, so here are some from the newly released Southern Norway scenery. These screenshots are from various fjords in the western part of it.

Takeoff from Bømoen airfield:




Sørfjord (Hardanger):




Nærøyfjord:




Approaching the largest glacier in continental Europe, Jostedalsbreen:






Biggest and highest mountain range in Norway (and Northern Europe), Jotunheimen:








Highest vertical cliff in Europe (to the right), Trollveggen:



To see some pictures I took there in real life last year check out this thread.

For a sim that originally looked like this I think things have improved quite a bit smile

Oh, my Condor looks like this in the last screenshot. Sure haven`t updated it since years...because I soar in RL to. Great to see how it advanced over the time.

Is it modded to look like that or are those official updates improving the sim to make it look like that? Always wanted to try that sim out.

It's a user made scenery. But that's mostly what's being used in Condor anyway. There is one small scenery which is included, and since then there's been more than a hundred user sceneries, and some of the later ones of very high quality. Almost all of them are free, including Southern Norway which these screenshots are from.

That looks brilliant. My Condor does look closer to the last shot I have to admit smile
Is this scenery available somewhere else than Condor-club.eu? Last time I tried to download something from them I gave up. I could never find free slots.

Condor is still one of the best sims out there. It was really helpful during RL glider training (and still is!). A good read of Wolfgang Langewiesche's book and a few flights in Condor are the best foundation...

Thanks for posting those shots!
