You still haven't told us whether it's on Saturday or Sunday  ;)

I knew there was something missing....  ::)

...It's Saturday.

[gryshnak]

And please, please can we START ON TIME for once?

[Katahu]

What about our repaints?

[gryshnak]

What about our repaints?

I just started a thread on that.  Send 'em to me and I'll put them all on my website.

Some of those mountains are pretty tall - will we be pounced on for flying at 11,990ft where necessary?

Will the overzealous DEA pilots be able to zoom past us at Mach 2 and claim that they were (for an instant) within 0.1nm?

Barrel rolling is less disruptive than looping or turning 360* - who gets to choose which manoeuver we have to perform, the racer or the DEA pilot?

Having performed this manoeuver, does the DEA pilot then have to go looking for another target?  Or can they stay around and harass the same racer repeatedly?

Do the racers need to come to a complete stop at the fuel pumps at each airport before opening the door to collect more 'mangoes'?

I'm sure I'll think of more questions before the race...

yes

No, they has to slow down and fly formation

Barrel rolling is less disruptive than looping or turning 360* - who gets to choose which manoeuver we have to perform, the racer or the DEA pilot?

The DEA pilot should decide

Having performed this manoeuver, does the DEA pilot then have to go looking for another target?  Or can they stay around and harass the same racer repeatedly?

Harassing the same player again and again without having attacked another target, and then the DEA pilot should be disqualified and land!

Do the racers need to come to a complete stop at the fuel pumps at each airport before opening the door to collect more 'mangoes'?

Full stop, ofcourse, gonna be a bit hard for the colombians to run beside the plane with 20knots!!

I'm sure I'll think of more questions before the race...

Uh oh...

Cheers Theis

[Clipper]

perfect explanation Theis...thx!

[Theis]

NP Clip, but it's gonna be a wee tricky to get to the race in time, because we are holding my mothers birthday!
So maybe im comming, maybe im not..

so i guess im off the race, and may pop in as a surprise

And Clip, if you got anything to add, send me a PM

Cheers Theis

> yes

Why?

Is there a 'safe area' around each airport, or can we expect the DEA to tag us while we're on final approach?

My biggest concern is that the DEA pilots will see this as a combat scenario instead of a SimV race.

Don't worry Gryshnak, I for one would find it stupid if a DEA pilot got me on final approach, so I'm sure they won't get the racers on final.

As for the "safe zones", the DEA are going to be pretty much in the confines of the Alps

And about the combat scenario - in the briefing of the judges tonight, we'll tell them to focus on the racing side of things, not on the combat side.

[Mobius]

Racers need only  to touch down at the finishing runway to end their race.

It said in the course description that we have to taxi in front of the DC-3 and touch down.  Which will it be?

*Slaps self*

That must be the millionth mistake...

The description in "The Course" is correct, editing this post now.
