Checklist for new members

Navigate to our Discord server on our site to get a Discord account and the app on your computer and check your audio. Contact us and one of us can talk with you by phone then by Discord to test it and to say hi and answer questions. You need a headset or earphones with mic. Computer speakers are a problem because your mic broadcasts your game sounds to everyone else, unless you use push-to-talk.
Go to Members. Add your name, Condor CN, Discord name, and schedule.
Go through the recommended Condor sim prep, especially updates and flight lessons.
See Soaring Info to improve your soaring skills, especially thermaling techniques. But start flying with us now, whatever your skill level. Be patient and you'll improve.
Start downloading some of the Condor landscapes we use most. See News for the landscapes we will use next. You may need an additional internal or external hard drive if you don't have 300 GB free, but drives are cheap: you can get a 2 or 3 TB drive online for $60 or less, not SSD).
Look over how we fly tasks.
See the Forum for recent emails.
Join us on a Condor flight at scheduled times (News): Fridays on the "TeamXC Fri9pET - ignore gates -" server (208.83.226.9:56500) or Mondays on the "TeamXC Mon9pET Race" server (208.83.226.9:56501) on the Condor multiplayer server (shows up about 20 min before the hour).
Drop into the lobby on our Discord audio server. If Condor sim sounds make it so you can't hear us well, exit the flight and go to Condor>Setup>Sound and decrease the Master Volume. Or increase if you can hear us, but not the glider wind sounds well.
Make an account on SkyLinesCondor, and under Settings/Group, choose TeamXC.
After you fly, save your .igc file. To get the .igc file from a flight track, in Condor go to Flight Analysis, and select IGC Export at the bottom, and give it a file name. If you didn't save your flight track, load 'LastTrack.ftr' in Flight Analysis, then export to igc. Give the file a name that includes the date, like "textnotnumbers YYYY-MM-DD.igc" or "YYYY-MM-DD textnotnumbers.igc", for example "Nephi JS 2023-8-14".
On SkyLinesCondor, click the upload symbol, or use skylinescondor.com/flights/upload. Your igc files will be in the folder Documents>Condor>Flighttracks>IGC. (Note: You can upload as many files as you want at one time, including your older flights)
Under Group Flights you will see TeamXC flights with all the group's uploaded tracks superposed. You can hit play and in 6-10 minutes you can watch where everyone went in their flights, or you can move your mouse over the tracks or barogram to see the animation. If you click a pilot's icon on the left you can see that pilot's track in detail. Here are more details on how to use SkyLinesCondor.
