I will put it on Condor Club today late evening (when will be back home) - I didn't manage attach igc and ftr files myself on forum :oops:

interesting that speed is much higher than the wind speed - lasts through about 3... 4 seconds, so probably it isn't bug in Condor calculation

Yes, but simulating of air move at leeward's side is difficult - air isn't keeping still horizontally but violently is falling, and acceleration is appearing on windward side (upwind).

So I think that these aren't the same thing of technique.

I will make tests again with flat hills at the leeward's side and with great changeability of the wind. Such a configuration should better simulate air move for dynamic soaring.
