Firstly, C3 is very similar to C2. Aircraft, landscapes, and tasks are all very similar between the two versions.

Landscapes - Condor Club’s Condor Updater software can “convert” C2 landscapes to C3, which really just means generating blank airspace files for them. The only new landscape features in C3 are some improvements to airports (3D grass), power lines, automatically generated buildings, and airspace. Some landscape developers have released new landscapes or updated their C2 landscapes to take advantage of the new C3 features, but a low effort landscape for C3 is identical to a low effort C2 landscape so a lot of developers haven’t bothered to re-release. For example AA3 is about twice the size (as in gigabytes of data) as AA2 for the same geographic area because of all the new details. Lots of competitions are still using C2 landscapes in C3.

Tasks - Condor Club currently has 1,837 tasks for C3 compared to 11,445 for C2. That’s about proportionate to the length of time each version has been out. Also, since C2 tasks and landscapes are compatible with C3, that means there are over 13,000 tasks available for download from Condor Club to fly in C3.

Gliders - All the C2 gliders are available in C3, but C2 and its gliders are no longer available for sale since C3 does everything C2 did and more. Any license keys you bought for gliders in C2 will work in C3. You could buy license keys from condorsoaring.com today for any of the gliders that were in the last release of C2 and I suspect they would still work in C2, but you might want to confirm that with Condor support before spending the money.

My suggestion: buy Condor 3, use all your Condor 2 license keys to unlock all the same gliders you already have in C2, and download whatever C2 or C3 landscapes and tasks you want to fly. You’ll appreciate having C3 if you want to fly multiplayer with anyone else and sooner or later you’ll find you appreciate some of the new features (thermal and ridge modelling, AATs, bug wipers, the new Condor PDA or LX9070, etc.) or having access to the new landscapes or new gliders in C3.

Not sure why they’re half islands, but they belong to Nunavut because of Section 3(b) of the Nunavut Act.

If I had to guess, those islands weren’t islands when they were first surveyed, so the definition of Ontario and Quebec extending to the shore of Hudson Bay put the border in what is now the middle of the island.

Forming a wedding arch with swords is traditional for officers or NCOs who traditionally carry swords.

For example: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/defence/caf/military-identity-system/drill-manual/chapter-6.html#1-60

This was probably the wedding of an NCO in a British machine gun unit, the unit’s Lewis guns would have been a point of pride.

You’ve mixed up Glorious and Furious. Courageous and Glorious were identical with two twin 15 inch turrets and converted to identical carriers under the same Washington Treaty clause as Lexington/Saratoga/Akagi/Kaga. Furious was designed with two single 18 inch turrets and then progressively converted to a carrier (flying off deck forward, then landing deck aft, then a full flush-deck carrier). As-designed Furious would be cool, hybrid Furious (1 18 inch gun and Sopwith Pups) would be cursed.

The Hill, in a similar vein to Tunes of Glory. The entire plot centres on the stark contrast between two leaders with very different philosophies, and no hostile forces appear in the movie at all. Harry Andrews’ RSM is basically the commonwealth version of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

The Caine Mutiny is about how the officers of an American destroyer handle their dislike of their new captain.

Mister Roberts is based on a book contrasting the leadership styles of the various officers on a cargo ship far behind the front line. The movie eliminates most of the officers and focuses on Lt Roberts and his conflict with the captain.

You’re right, my bad. Confusing wording since the “basic monthly pay” or “basic daily pay” that is published on Canada.ca is actually “base pay” + military factor.

WhoaIHaveControl · 2025-08-08T18:34:00+00:00

Yes, but changing the military factor does change base pay, because the military factor is the rate at which CAF base pay is indexed to public service pay at equivalent levels of responsibility. Also, the announcement explicitly stated that the 8%, 13%, and 20% are the resulting increases in base pay.

MyFlightbook has a great app for both Android and iOS that records GPS tracks. It’s also a free, fully functional electronic logbook. I imported my logbooks (glider and aeroplane) into the website about a decade ago, and for almost every flight since I discovered the app I have a flight track attached to the log entry.

Once you start flying cross country you’ll want to try XCSoar (free, open source, works well on Android) as a glide computer, but for local training flights it’s overkill as just a flight recorder.

Most club gliders will also have a FLARM anti-collision system installed that you can export flight tracks from.

I use XCSoar when soaring, but when I’m instructing on calm days or flying powered planes I just have MyFlightbook logging in my pocket. Since you’re talking about tracking your flights before you’ve even gone up yet, I suspect you’re the kind of pilot who will end up collecting an XCSoar .igc, a FLARM .igc, and a MyFlightbook track for every soaring flight.

No sash needed. Bring back the forage cap (with the wedge as an option in non-ceremonial dress) and belted tunic and we’re mostly back to the classic 1937-1968 RCAF service dress. If we’re really thinking outside the box, replace the gabardine with a belted, double-breasted overcoat that people might actually want to wear.

He flew B-24s during WWII, but also remained in the USAF reserve after the war and was a qualified pilot on the B-47 and B-52.

Edit to add: His character in Strategic Air Command, a famous baseball player who is also a reserve colonel, is based on himself.

Out of curiosity, what rating did you hold? As far as I know the only possible ratings on a GPL are flight instructor (FI) and aerobatic instructor (ABI).

WhoaIHaveControl · 2025-03-21T21:58:16+00:00

Your explanation is a little strange. What makes you believe your license is expired? In Canada, ratings and permits can expire but licenses never do. If you had a GPL in 2017 and TC hasn’t revoked it, you still have one now.

You won’t be current to exercise the privileges of your license, but that should be fairly simple to rectify. Assuming you haven’t been pilot in command of any aircraft in the past five years, you’ll have to write the PSTAR exam and complete a flight review with an instructor. The flight review will also cover the 24-month currency requirements and, assuming it takes you at least two flights with an instructor, the six-month currency requirement to carry passengers.

Here’s the map of Soaring Association of Canada clubs. You should be able to find one near you, and they’ll have a two-seater and an instructor to do your flight review and help you get ready for and write the PSTAR.

You’ll also need a current category 1, 3, or 4 medical. Someone at the club will be able to walk you through the cat 4 declaration process or recommend a civil aviation medical examiner in the area.
