Glad I could help. When is the final decision date to determine who gets the cookie?

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, how about 1 week from tomorrow... So Friday night at 12:00 midnight PST. =)

At FOZ, set the enemy plane to the Arado is you have it, because it has no guns. If not, just use a slow bomber on Rookie.

PO-2 is crap, if no arado

good call. Do we all have to use the same aircraft though?

[xX-SiLeNcE-Xx]

nope, whatever you like. They all have strengths/weaknesses

You'll have to tell me how you managed to shave off those extra few seconds. I tried all night, but my best run in the La-7 was 1:11. I tried the Spitfire Mk XVI first but was getting an extra 10 seconds.

This was a great idea. I had a lot of fun trying to get the course down. I set a lot of lighthouses on fire before finally getting it down. I plan on trying a few different airframes later and see if I can beat that 1min 9sec.

If anybody wants to get up and try this online I'd be more than happy to capture it. Might be a good way to document peoples times.

Well, you should definately come in more straight on your approach.

Also on the full circle, I kept WEP on. The only time I took off WEP was during the first S turn section.

I'll try a couple times right now and post back with my results.

EDIT: What was your exact time? just so I can document it.

EDIT2: Tried about 10 more times and got a new best by about .3 seconds. 1:09.217
