P.S.
...and don't forget, because of the different types of aircraft with different powers/speeds, the race has to be a handicap race, with a staggered start.

Before the aircraft participate in the actual race, each aircraft has to be timed over the full course.
Then, in the actual race, the aircraft take off at timed intervals, which results in all the aircraft reaching the finish line together, (almost... Wink

That way, it is a fair race...!

Hey guys,

Wouldn't it make it more of a challenge if we had to PM the judges our choice of aircraft - that way we couldn't see what anybody else had & go "Oooh thats a good idea, i'll use that aswell"

It would make turning up at the start more interesting.

Of course you would have to PM each judge.

maybe we could all be nice to them & provide a direct link to our choice of download so that they don't have to go searching around everywhere.

Just a thought,

TSC.

Hi TSC...!

That idea may work for the Judges, but none of the participents will be able to identify each others aircraft....
...they will all show up as Cessna 172's... Grin

I'll be there in my AH-109 - I was going to use a Spit, but I decided on a bit of variety....

By the way, where do we start? Grin

Seriously though, I won't be downloading each & every plane that is used, as long as I can see your postion relative to mine you could be flying Del Boy's Reliant for all I care.

Thanks to everyone for pointing out possible shortcomings in the logistics of this Saturdays race. Please note the change in aircraft options at the beginning of this thread. I'm working out a great course with Krigl, I should be able to post the course shortly!

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.

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... Wink

Paul...ever helpful... Wink
