For a future race, a suggestion might be to select a particular default scenery area centered on an air strip, with a number of prominent land marks, (Churches, factory chimneys, towers, etc, which everyone will have), as the "turning points".
The complete course distance being in the order of some 20 miles or so, (with 5 passes over the finish line, total 100 miles), containing the turning points manned by the observers who will ensure that no one cuts corners and therefore suffers penalty points.
Together with the handicap, this is the way that real air races are  run...;)...!

...just a thought...

Paul...ever helpful... ;)...!
LOL...!


Great idea for the next one Paul. This Saturdays race will be default scenery only in a fairly small area (about 120 miles). The emphasis is on low passes, t+g's and battling multiple fast elevation changes. A short simple course with just enough twists to keep everyone on their toes!

Woo!

Then we can showcase our aircraft afterwards, along with Theis' Christen Eagle! I wouldn't mind a mock dogfight with someone, sure to please the crowds!

Is that the Seafire that shows up as Cunliffe-Owen Aircraft in the FS9 manufacturer menu??

I think I have it, but can't remember where it's from.

Cheers,

TSC.

I've just realised that I won't be able to race on Saturday, as I'll be out all day, ice skating :) So maybe next time!

I'll have my Me-109 ready [the Aero Heaven addon].

EDIT: Sorry, I meant the BF109. ;D

Also, whats the exact IP address? I can't seem to find anyone online at Interlaken.

Is it too late to enter?!?

If not, I'll have the Seafire.

Also, where will the race be, MSN?  Can't find where you said it would be.... :-[ ;)

I looked at the WSP 23456 Oceania 1 server, but I don't see anybody listed on the page. I'll log in and just wait. Maybe that would attract attention.
