- Fly the United States Air Force Academy – 24 tiles. Covers Colorado Springs, the Academy, and west into the mountains. This is the landscape used in their Mach 0.1
simulator training (they usually solo in 12 rides). USAFA Airmanship Program
Notes: Your takeoff point is a paved runway, starting in the middle. The landing area is the green AstroTurf just to the west. It is called the SPLA (Sail Plane Landing Area). It is divided into numbered lanes, and gliders are cleared by the tower for a specified lane.Interested in how they train? A copy of a past Syllabus and Basic Soaring Manual. Here is the old usafa3 landscape.

- Fly New York (Western/Elmira) – 16 tiles. The home of Soaring in the United States. Harris Hill Soaring Corporation
Notes: Takeoff is normally to the north. The paved runway is shorter than actual. At Harris Hill it has quite a slope and Condor requires runways be at one elevation (so it was cutoff to blend with the terrain). Also, Harris Hill is located within Class D airspace for the Elmira Commercial airport (which has passenger jet traffic). The ‘red’ lines you see delimit the area where gliders may operate without contacting the tower (they help as a visual reference).
Harris Hill XC-1 – 49 tiles. A special scenery used for XCountry training, minimal airport details.
Fly Harris Hill <-> Dansville – 30 tiles. A combined scenery allows you to practice a X-country between both airports.
