Improved Landscapes will now support both Condor 2 and Condor 3.

Over the past years we’ve done some experimenting and made some improvements to our tutorial.  Here is a brief summary:

  • The final landscape will now be usable with either Condor 2 or 3.
  • Runway appearance is much improved by use of the actual surface imagery.
  • The area around the airport is done at much higher resolution.  In our older landscapes resolution was limited to about 2.8 meters/pixel.  We now go to a resolution of .35 meters/pixel.  You can see the dashed lines dividing a highway.
  • We’ve done better integration of public terrain data.  This results in a more realistic thermal map and also a forest map that covers the entire landscape.

As always, feel free to contact us if you have questions.  You can request a FREE local landscape for your club using this form.
