Aerial deathrace

[haitch40]

try and find a good course with lots of tight turns in it
try the bulge a race down the river

Cheers Gilly. much appreciated

Also, i remember a post where someone suggested a race with Po-2's down those tight rivers in Berlin, So i was thinking with that one in berlin, it could be like a rally stage, where there are no laps, just a race from Point A to Point B.

Good idea also on grabbing a screenshot. if i find a descent course on berlin for the Po-2 (And you guys would like to take on this race) i will take a screenie and edit it

We're working on it. Last nights was as said 'reccy' run to check feasibility which proved very successful hence us then trying a couple of timed runs and a subsequent trial run. We'll be looking through the other maps for tracks. Korsuns certainly on the board as there's also some nice arch bridges to contend with/ use as gates!!!
Berlin also a prime candidate as there are some nice narrow sections which re-create that 'trench run' effect.

Map of circuit





Thought id also show how we marked the track using two plane crashes at either side of important junctions/ turns. these can then be seen from a good distance away

Had to use two images as the map was so large and sadly when you switch to map it doesn't show it all on the ps3, hence me taking one image in the south, one in the north and then overlapping them ( I know there's duplication on the left!!) It shows the track as it should be though

btw this is sim right? since most people in this will want it to be
although the outside camera veiw of realistic would make it more fun.

If we do that we're obviously limiting to the planes with only a cockpit view whereas the orginal intention was to have differing classes of aircraft. Feel free to play it as you wish i guess at the end of the day. As we're not taking it seriously but as a way of adding some additional fun to the game we're going to be using everything from the Po-2 to the B17 and as such will be playing it in arcade as this then helps the ref determine what positions everyone is in as everyone is likely to use the same aircraft for each race.

What you going to call it? Star in a reasonably priced plane?

lol they are not very reasonably priced though
a spit now will cost 2mill if you can find one for sale
