I used to fly Condor 1 when I was flying real gliders (can't believe my last real flight was 7 years ago already

).
Condor 1 was really good with one exception: The winch starts were ridiculous. Completely unstable, one could pretty much do involuntary aerobatics while being winched up. In real life the aircraft was very stable and easy to control during winching.
But apart from that the simulation was excellent. Maybe I need to reinstall it one of these days.
BTW if you can't get your pedals working again you can try a joystick with a Z-Axis. I've been flying with those till day one of my simulator days and it does work surprisingly well.
