Hey guys
I played this game online and I thought why not see if we can get a big session.
OK so the point of the game is for the Smugglers to fly their planes with "drugs" to MIA. If they do they get a point. But if the Border Patrol intercepts them the airplane will be forced to land at the nearest airport.
Rules:
    A) Border patrol
1. You can only fly a military aircraft (Radar, Fighters, Tankers, etc)
2. Fighter's cannot use a radar gauge. Only an AEWC&S aircraft can.

    B) Smugglers
1. Any aircraft can be used except military aircraft, and commercial aircraft.
2. An addition to that rule the largest aircraft that could be flown is a B737-200 B727 100/200 and DC9
3. Must listen to Border Patrol and follow instructions if intercepted.

     C) General
1. Teams will be made on this forum
2. Smuggler's and Border Patrol will remain on unicom Channel (187.75)
3. An addition to the above stated rule if nesccessary both teams will get their own private channels and must be used for team communication

Thats all
If you think rules need to be changed please post below.
If We get enough people we will begin planning a date and teams
         

I like your way of thinking. Sounds like that would be a good mission to create.

I'll fly as patrol as long as I can fly in my trusty MiG-21 interceptor!  :D :D

I see how you put your name XD

Ok so we got border patrol
I will update the OP for teams

sounds like a fun idea. I've always wanted to try out smuggling

...tunnelling under New Mexico?... ::)...!

Paul... ;D... ;D... ;D...!

I think I may try smuggling,But can you decide the route?

route is anything you want
only rule is you cannot takeoff anywhere north of saint maarten. or saint maarten itself

any route you want
I believe this could be a fun labor day activity

Also landing point is miami or anywhere north

Sounds fun *laughs maniacally as I polish the nose of my F-35, F-22 and S-46*  ;D ;D ;D

But we need a rule for the red tags,otherwise it'll be extremely easy.

Agreed, mabye turn them off... then it will be almost impossible to find them... unless we can turn a UKMIL C-17 into a AWACS  ::) ::) ::) Plan-G?  ;)

In the FSX traffic setting there is a setting to turn air traffic tags on.

What would we do if a smuggler is caught, and tries to run? What if he escapes the Patrol's sights? I would assume he has eluded capture.

If you are a smuggler and have been sighted the Aircraft will contact you and you will have to follow it to an airstrip and land.
You have 1 Chance to get to your destination without being caught. When no more aircraft are remaining or have landed the Patrol's become smugglers and vice-versa

Ok,

So are we going to use FSHost, we already have the SimV server so that can be used.

I also have some ideas for communications, and some rule ideas. Please tell me what you think of them:

   1.) Team ID's
        Start your name with a P- for patrol, or S- for Smuggler. if you aren't playing, don't put either in.

   2.) Team Communication
        Send group pm's in FSHost to all team mates, there is no way the other team can listen in unless a team messes up.

   3.) Capture, and Capture Orders
        Send a message to all players in FSHost to announce captures, and give capture orders.

so, do you have a date in mind yet?

I'll fly that in my C-17 if no one else will

Will we have Smugglers simulate their payload weight? 1 lb is 1 point, and if captured, the patrol gains points based on aircraft type, and payload weight:

     Aircraft Weight to Point chart:, , , , ,

Ultralight	Trike, glider, and other very light aircraft	-	10 Points
light	most cessnas and piper cherokee type aircraft	-	20 points
medium	Baron-58 and similar	-	50 points
heavy	KingAir, Cessna Citation, learjet type	-	100 points
Large	Commercial jets up to max size	-	200 points

How does that sound?

Hmmm i like the idea.
With commercial jets they have to be very limited in range to make it harder

sure, I was thinking they were more capable of blending in with the AI Traffic, and are much slower to turn.

Eh sorta
The problem with the DC9 is its very limited range
It would need to land to refuel just to reach miami
