Another race idea

[gryshnak]

Everywhere I fly, I look for potential race settings.  Here's one I found in Golden Wings this afternoon, in Washington state.  It's for single engined floatplanes like the DHC Beaver.  The airport ID is 0W0.

1.  Take off and immediately turn about, head for point 2

2.  Touch down, taxi under the bridge and STAY ON THE WATER.

3.  Circle the island, go as fast as you want but DO NOT TAKE OFF until you pass point 4.

4.  Pass under this bridge, then take off and head back to the start.

5.  Fly over the starting point.

6.  Fly under this bridge.  It's a tight fit so be careful!

7.  Fly along the LENGTH of this bridge, staying below the height of the street lights.  You can see point 8 from here.

8.  There are two radio masts on top of the hill, fly between them.

9.  Head back to the start, touch down, and return to the shore.  The winner is the first one to beach his plane on the sand.

Does that sound like fun?

Here's a few pics of the circuit

Approaching the bridge at point 2.

The bridge at point 6, not much room!

The bridge at point 7

You can see the radio masts from here

Between the masts, then home again.

Nice idea ....... but not everyone has golden/silverwings installed ...... and it seems that it alters rather a lot of autogen.

Always with the negative vibrations  ::)

It works just as well with the default FS9, but the river is more crowded and it doesn't look as pretty (although you do get a good look at Seattle).
