Re: [Aus-soaring] California Ridge run

[Nelson Handcock]

Reading through all the comments on vimeo, the author mentions that he's
flying a G103, and you can hear conversation under the music in a couple of
places so I think the video is being recorded by a front-seat passenger.

It feels more like it is attached to a shoulder or parachute harness. 
Definitely not on a hat or similar as you don't see any sideways 
glancing. I would expect a lot more movement from a camera held in the 
hand on that sort of run, particularly a few of the higher-G turns he does.

Depends, 

the first Twin Astir was 108 and the Twin II was 92 (I seem to
recall). However the Single Astir was 135 and I think that the
aircraft in the film is, in fact, a single.  

Which does beg the question, why would a person fly a ridge while
hand holding a camera

 I don’t remember the max rough air speed on a G103. Somewhere in
the 90’s ?

[Aus-soaring] SkySight and Wave

[Paul Mander]

Take a look at the wave display for today on Matthew Scutter's new
forecasting package, SkySight.
It shows the possibility of a flight in wave from Bunyan to Bairnsdale to
Kempsey; 1020 km, if one could address the airspace issues.
That possibility is exciting, but it also demonstrates the usefulness of
the SkySight model. I recommend it.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Gliding in Virtual Reality

[Mike Borgelt]

You can fly gliders for real.

Why do it in VR when VR lets you hunt MiG 15s 
over the Yalu in an F86 or fly with von 
Richthofen in a Fokker DR1 or Bubi Hartmann in a Bf109?

I wouldn't go buying either headset for use with Condor just yet.Â

Re: [Aus-soaring] Gliding in Virtual Reality

[tom . wilksch]

 I've had no luck with VorpX but haven't tried very hard having also
read it wont work as it's too old on the Direct X side
So Richard. are you saying you just stick the TrackIR reflectors onto
the headset?
