Some of those mountains are pretty tall - will we be pounced on for flying at 11,990ft where necessary?

Will the overzealous DEA pilots be able to zoom past us at Mach 2 and claim that they were (for an instant) within 0.1nm?

Barrel rolling is less disruptive than looping or turning 360* - who gets to choose which manoeuver we have to perform, the racer or the DEA pilot?

Having performed this manoeuver, does the DEA pilot then have to go looking for another target? Or can they stay around and harass the same racer repeatedly?

Do the racers need to come to a complete stop at the fuel pumps at each airport before opening the door to collect more 'mangoes'?

I'm sure I'll think of more questions before the race...

No, they has to slow down and fly formation

The DEA pilot should decide

Harassing the same player again and again without having attacked another target, and then the DEA pilot should be disqualified and land!

Full stop, ofcourse, gonna be a bit hard for the colombians to run beside the plane with 20knots!!

Why?

Is there a 'safe area' around each airport, or can we expect the DEA to tag us while we're on final approach?

My biggest concern is that the DEA pilots will see this as a combat scenario instead of a SimV race.

Gryshnak

Don't worry Gryshnak, I for one would find it stupid if a DEA pilot got me on final approach, so I'm sure they won't get the racers on final.

As for the "safe zones", the DEA are going to be pretty much in the confines of the Alps Wink

Wink

And about the combat scenario - in the briefing of the judges tonight, we'll tell them to focus on the racing side of things, not on the combat side.

Racers need only to touch down at the finishing runway to end their race.

It said in the course description that we have to taxi in front of the DC-3 and touch down. Which will it be? Wink
