Where to find the Condor maintenance manual 4/06?

After installing your catalytic meter, engage the combustor, and watch the temperature readings for a couple of minutes. When the combustor is properly activated, the temperature will steadily rise from around 500° up to 1500° Fahrenheit, depending on the design of your stove and the placement of the probe. Guidelines for temperature readings

What do I need to use Condor?

IMPORTANT: Check the indicator pin on each cab mount. The cab mounts are unlocked if the pins are out. See Fig. 1. NOTE: If air is present in the hydraulic tilt system, the pump operation may seem spongy or ineffective. If this happens, bleed the air from the system. For instruc-tions, refer to Group 60 of the Condor® Workshop Man-ual. 7.

How to get wind speed and direction in Condor?

proper steel, one should first check the maximum attainable hardness chart such as Table 1 using the carbon range that will give the required sur-face hardness, from the 95 or 99.9 % martensite column. Following these guidelines will also result in greater dimensional stability and uniformity after heat treatment. Resulfurized Steel-Hardenability Problems

How do you check the fan on a 20 2 Condor?

Mar 26, 2019 · Condor evolved over time and now thermals on sunny hills (and its shadows) are dynamically done by the Condor engine itself. So in the morning the eastern hillsides are best although with a low sun-angle, Somewhere between 1200h and 1400h the southern hillsides are best (in the northern hemisphere) and in the evening the western hillsides are ...

Weather settings in Condor2

Unfortunately, the weather setting in Condor is not explained in detail in the manual. Especially missing a hint which consequences the attitude in "Flats Activity" has. If the "Flats Activity" is set to "Very low", CondorWeather will be calculated as described on the Condor Homepage under Key Features.

Re: Weather settings in Condor2

You are correct about this not being explained very well (and I think the name is also confusing, possibly a left over from a time where we had no thermal maps?). However, Im not convinced anabatic winds are affected by this at all.

Re: Weather settings in Condor2

If that is correct, then for now the easy solution is simply not selecting "low flats activity" and using sceneries with proper thermal maps. But the issue of getting kicked when calculating weather is known, reported and "on the list".

Re: Weather settings in Condor2

By "proper" thermal maps I mean actual maps that correlate with the scenery, like giving much lower chance of thermals over water or wet lands or forests and higher chance over cities or corn fields. Im sure EDB can expand on that, Im certainly no expert.

Re: Weather settings in Condor2

HI, The review is very simple and easy to check with the setting "Thermal Helper" enabled. With the setting "Flats Activity": Very low you can see the anabatic wind rising up the slopes. Key "H" activated. Airfield Sondrio or Aosta e.g. Wind 2-3 km / h. Then change the setting. "Flats Activity": high / normal / low.

Re: Weather settings in Condor2

Instead of testing and guessing - maybe one of devs would be nice and write detailed explanation of all weather settings, to be included in manual and cut down speculations.

Realistic Settings for Thermals

Hi, I'm a UK-based pilot IRL, and wanting to set up the sim to reflect an average day in the UK. So far I have been setting the sim to very weak and narrow thermals for practise locating and centering, but I was wondering what gives a more representative level of thermals for longer and more realistic tasks? How does the "variation" actually work? If I set it to "very weak" and "high", does it follow a gaussian distribution model around the set strength? Does the time of day affect the thermal rate/strength? It seems there is no way to set a time-based varience beyond the basic parameters (e.g.

Re: Realistic Settings for Thermals

I am also from the UK and although i've been using Condor for a long time for instructing and it's great for this purpose, i've never used it for competition practice before, but I am now and it's great for many of the tactical skills. I am however also finding similar issues trying to set realistic flat-land weather. Two main issues: 1.

Re: Realistic Settings for Thermals

we are already working on those improvements, both are on our ToDo list for a long time already. They were planned for initial Condor 2 release, but it could postpone the release for at least half a year. So we decided to release Condor 2 and work on further weather improvement later.

Re: Realistic Settings for Thermals

The implementation of the weather setting based on real data or forecasting is a great option to have Condor 2 as a simulation system for reality: i.e. think to try in advance the fly in a good forecast day ... or try to compare your performance with the best OLC fly in a specific day. Great idea. Many thanks. Lorenzo.

I don't want to piss on your bonfire, but that's not what Uros said . . .

Where is heat treatment placed?

Heat treatment is placed somewhere middle of the component manufacturing process. Unsuccessful heat treatment makes all the processes before and after heat treatment useless. To avoid rework and scrap, the quality of the heat treatment should be verified before other processes are performed such as grinding.

What is an unsuccessful heat treatment?

Unsuccessful heat treatment makes all the processes before and after heat treatment useless. To avoid rework and scrap, the quality of the heat treatment should be verified before other processes are performed such as grinding.

Do knives need to be heated?

Only the blade section of the knife needs to be fully heated. If the spine or handle don’t get fully heated that’s ok. Those parts of the knife won’t be as hard, but they will be tougher and that will make for a stronger overall knife. Watch for color to start developing in the metal.

How to temper a knife?

The following seven steps show how to use heat treatment to harden and temper your knife. If you are using a knife made from milled steel by material removal you can proceed straight through steps 1-7. If your knife was forged, normalizing is a good idea. To normalize repeat steps 1 through 3 three times letting the knife air cool between each ...

How many screens does a condor have?

To make the PDA easier to read, you can zoom in on the panel (default key Y). The condor PDA has 4 screens. You can cycle through the screens either by pressing the Handheld Next Screen key (default key is M), or by pressing any of the handheld screen keys (default keys 1 through 4) to access each screen directly.

Where is the registration number on a Condor?

The pilot’s name will be used in multiplayer, replays and flight tracks. Registration number appears on plane’s fuselage and on the lower side of the left wing.
