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

...!

...just a thought...

Paul...ever helpful... Wink

LOL...!

Great idea for the next one Paul. This Saturdays race will be default scenery only in a fairly small area (about 120 miles). The emphasis is on low passes, t+g's and battling multiple fast elevation changes. A short simple course with just enough twists to keep everyone on their toes!

Woo!

Then we can showcase our aircraft afterwards, along with Theis' Christen Eagle! I wouldn't mind a mock dogfight with someone, sure to please the crowds!

I've just realised that I won't be able to race on Saturday, as I'll be out all day, ice skating

So maybe next time!

EDIT: Sorry, I meant the BF109. Grin

Also, whats the exact IP address? I can't seem to find anyone online at Interlaken.

If not, I'll have the Seafire.

Also, where will the race be, MSN? Can't find where you said it would be.... Embarrassed

I looked at the WSP 23456 Oceania 1 server, but I don't see anybody listed on the page. I'll log in and just wait. Maybe that would attract attention.
