No, Will...I don't think you can restart because you crashed.  I'm still alive though. lol

[Smoke2much]

Bugger...

At least I won the "First to die" competition.

Well, as I was saying in the other thread, I think the best thing for us to do right now is stop and evaluate what we've learned so far.

[Scottler]

When do you need that by?  I may be able to find a decent Mustang by then!  lol

[Travis]

Whenever you get the airplane you want set up, put up the post here.

[Scottler]

Hey...that gave me a great idea, Ender....


What if we, in honor of the 100th year of powered flight, recreate some of the most legendary air races that ever took place.  The Bendix would be a great place to start!

And if we all only flew aircraft that were available at that time....

Hmmm....might be easier to plan!

[Travis]

Excellent, excellent idea!  Again, I am only able to do offline races, but that sounds like it would work out great!

 If you are starting over, you should let Will (Smokes2much) back in.

 I'll play again, but only if I can use the SR-71, now I realize it's not from WWII, and I know it's not a single prop plane, but the thing is..I can finish the race in 15 minutes and go to bed.
Whatta ya say? C'mon, cut a brotha' some slack.

Ahhhh, I dunno . . .

You jest, but this could actually be an AWESOME race too!  Imagine, the fastest of the fastest....

An SR-71 Blackbird Equatorial race.  Depart from one location, and go completely around the world at the equator...and it wouldn't take "that long"....

Hmm....

[Travis]

Okay, different classes . . .

Vintage Class
Fastest Plane (Over short course)
Fastest Plane (Over long distance/equatorial)
Highest Altitude
Longest Flight ( )

Anything else you guys can think of?

[Daz]

this is just an idea of mine but why not take a single engine prop fill her up to the brim and set out from an airport and see how far they can get without running out of fuel..the person who gets the furthest or is the last to drop into the ocean wins! use default corsair maybe and it will be a test of skill and saving the fuel as long as possible
