I don't think it does either, but in this thread here it should explain what you need to do to join in using FSX. Wink http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1148901173

Sounds like a blast, but there are some handicaps as mentioned before...everyone would just figure out what plane is fastest and fuel efficient and fly it open throttle...maybe if you designate a bird it would level off the competition a bit, such as a high speed prop (example, Hughes 500, who has the perfect prop pitch/mixture to run the bird at max efficiency?)


Just my two cents, I'll check back and if it looks like a fair fight I'm in!!

That can be done in MSFS?! Shocked I was not aware of that! Sure, if you tell me how to do it! Grin

As an update: it will probably be best to post what aircraft you're gonna use, and use something freeware, that way there are none of the conflicts while in multi. I would hate to watch a mach3 Cessna kicking my butt all the way across the country. Grin
                          OR.....
A suggestion has been made to limit to some specific types since those will probably be the ones showing up anyway.

These planes here achieve the max speed but differ on fuel consumption. I have tested each on a couple of different routes and they all are within a few minutes of each other in travel time.
Altitude seems to play a big factor in speed,fuel useage, and travel time. So this should work nicely if everyone is up to using just these.

All are available here.
1.SR-71(alpha freeware with Chicilo update)
2.XB-70(with the update)
3.X-15
4.Mig-31 Firefox(with the latest update)

There may be others so don't hold this as a 'this or nothing' type of list.
Just remember that everyone has to be able to get it for free to make it fair and fun for all. Wink

Depending on when it was held and the time etc i'd certainly be up for this.

How about using the actual firefox though?

The one I listed is the Clint Eastwood movie one, for some reason it's listed as the Mig-31 so I included that part of the title just in case. Wink I would be disappointed if that didn't show up! Grin

It's looking like this Saturday around 18:00-19:00 GMT+0 for a start time, that should be early enough for the UK folks and prime time for the US folks and shouldn't conflict with anyone planning to participate in a1's Swiss tour. I'll give this post a couple of days to gather opinions on the start time and then post an official thread for it on Wed. this week.

The real Mig-31 is called the foxhound and is a close twin to the Mig-25 Foxbat for those that wondered. Wink

Cool. AAR can be done in MSFS, but you need a third party app for it. The only one I can think of is Abacus' Arrestor Cables. So it's probably an unfair advantage.
