Condor: The Competition Soaring Simulator

What works

Installing, patching, task setup, flying (tow and winch tested), landing (if you know how to do it)

Joystick

What does not

it's running a little bit slower than on XP-machines...

you will need to copy "d3dxof.dll", "dpnet.dll" and use this "native" one to see airplanes in task-menu. Also, this will make the game itself start... ("Cant load mesh from"-Dialog)

sometimes mouse pointer will be invisible in menus until satrting a new flight and exiting it.

Dedicated Server

Workarounds

What was not tested

more maps, all airplanes

NETWORK was also not tested yet (will do this within the next few days ;)

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

1. I suggest a clean WINEPREFIX for Condor, just use an "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_condor/ wine some.exe" instead of "wine some.exe"
2. Installing:
   1. Now open up some Terminal/Shell/bash/whatsoever and cd to the directory the Condor-Setup is in. For example, if it is on your Desktop, type "cd ~/Desktop".
   2. Run Setup with wine: "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_condor/ wine CondorSetup.exe".
   3. Follow the Instruction on the screen.
3. Once you've got Condor installed, you have to set wine up:
   1. Copy "d3dxof.dll" and the Content of this archive to your system32 folder. Since you use a different WINEPREFIX, you'll find it here: "~/wine_condor/drive_c/windows/system32". Namely, you have to copy these 6 files: "d3dxof.dll", "dplaysvr.exe", "dplayx.dll", "dpnet.dll", "dpnhpast.dll" and "dpwsockx.dll"!
   2. Now open up "winecfg", remember your WINEPREFIX: "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_condor/ winecfg":
      • I suggest using a virtual Desktop for this: Go to "graphics" tab, check the box, thats it!
      • Now go to "libraries", add "d3dxof.dll", "dplayx.dll", "dpnhpast.dll", "dpwsockx.dll" and "dpnet.dll". It should look like this: http://tinyurl.com/8tzeay
      • Click OK to confirm your changes.
      • Now you'll have to register dpnet. To do this, run: "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_condor wine regsvr32 dpnet.dll". If this fails, please check library overrides again. If it still does not work, just ask here.
   3. Now you're ready to run Condor!
      1. cd to Condor folder: "cd ~/wine_condor/dri[TAB]/Pro[TAB]/Con[TAB]/" should do the Job. (full path would be: "cd ~/wine_condor/drive_c/Program\ Files/Condor/")
      2. Start Condor by typing: "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_condor/ wine Condor.exe" or the dedicated server via "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_condor/ wine CondorDedicated.exe".
   Of course you can create a simple bash-script or shortcut, just keep in mind to cd first!

1. To connect a nmea-compatible device, first open up "system.reg" in your favorite editor. (Usually in "~/.wine/")
2. Paste the following lines somewhere in the file, e.g. at the end:

   ---

   [HARDWARE\\DEVICEMAP\\SERIALCOMM] 1140289570
   "COM1"="COM1"
   "COM2"="COM2"
   < Add more here if needed >

   ---

3. Now close your editor and start "Condor.exe"
4. In Options menu, check "Enable NMEA-output" and choose your COM-port. Connect your device to the serial port
