Does this mean no landing, and you just have to ~~crash~~ land at 150 kts? Wink

When you say "no landing" and "land at 150kts", do you mean "no landing" and "T+G at 150kts"? If so, no, you must land. Wink

I'm not quite sure on the logic in having it at dusk (dunno if there is any behind it, just that I find flying in the day time better, as you can see where you're going!) , but apart from that, everything seems fine.

Though seeing as I'll probably set my autogen density to sparse/very sparse, to avoid lag, will the obstacles be visible with low density?

The logic at dusk.....when you see the final obstacle, you may understand why clip chose it to be at dusk....

and the obstacles? I am 99% sure all of them will show, unsure about 1 though....

I will say no more..... Wink

Righto! And if one of the obstacles doesn't show, I'll just take the settings up a notch.

Hmm, I wonder what that's all about?

(Fires up FS2004, goes to SF and turns the settings to the appointed date and time, then adds a bit more to allow for the race itself to happen)

Well, I don't see anything... Hey wait a minute, what's that?

(Flies closer to investigate)

OMIGOD!!! You fiend! I mean, yes I've done it before, but never in an Extra 300!

(Performs the obligatory manoeuvre)

You know, that's going to be kind of fun during a race Grin

WSpilots oceana is 66.147.177.125 correct?

I'm glad I'll be able to join for the race, I finally got my router to let me through. I just had to put my PC in the "DMZ" and voila! It worked!

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
