I think they're running about a month apart, so plenty of time before the next one.

They'll usually tell us at least a week and a half in advance on which aircraft will be used. So, that would be plenty of time to make suitable repaints, put them all in a package and distribute it for others to use [like Gryshnak did].

Race date should be in about 2 weeks as Cspyro and I have made much progress in course planning already. The next one will be flown at no less than 500mph and has a really interesting twist or two. Cspyro will be announcing the "Racecraft" in a day or so. Better polish up your jet skills......

747 races? Grin

There are plenty of add-on jets that are easy on FPS, it's just a question of waiting for one of the organisers to get off his backside and TELL US WHICH ONE. I never understood why it has to be a secret in the first place, what does that achieve? In RL, competitors know what to expect for the whole season before they turn up for the first race.

Being secretive is what provides the suspense. I like suspense. Grin

It also pisses off some people. If you want us to race, at least tell us what we'll be racing in. Angry

Only 500? Probably won't be one of these then...

Thanks, people so rarely notice when you put in a bit of detail in the cockpit.

And of course nobody saw Soui's pilot for the last race
