Aerial deathrace

I like the idea

Good thinking on having someone crash to mark the course layout.

If any of this progresses, you can count on me to be there

I thought about this some more and realised you wouldnt be able to use guns because a crash would cause confusion on the markers and also the killed player could respawn anywhere.

Why not do it as per rallying and have stages:
stage 1: manston to hawkinge
stage 2: hawkinge to Canterbury etc
that way you can still have your guns but you then have a staging point for re-assembly ready for the next stage?
Just a thought...

yes i like the idea but include guns but if ur shot down or bail out you are classed as retired

we could race throgh beggars canyon and score some womp rats with our t-21's.

Seriously though does il2 have any decent "tracks" theres a perfect map in over g with its own version of beggars canyon we race down all the time. Haven't really seen anything syuitable in il2

There's gotta be a course around dover.. Radar station, harbour entrance, dover castle, the cliffs.. All easily findable.

But without putting people down on the ground at the turning points it'd be wide open to abuse.

Personally I'm up for any kind of non combat flying across any of the modes.

Why not play it in Capture Airfields with two airfields. The race would be whoever takes off from one and lands at the other the fastest.

[Gilly]

Well if you did it in strike you could use the targets as marker posts, out to the ships then north to first set and so on. Agree you need some sort of ref to adjudicate though or even 2 or 3 set around the track.
Winter in Stalingrad was my other thought as you could use the frozen river as a good starting point and then race off down the tributries even under bridges which could be used as marker points?

[f1rebrand]

How about a relay race between the three Kent airfields? Landing would pass the baton to your teammate to take off for the next airfield. Four teams of English, US, German and Russian fighters for example. You could still use the landmarks such as Dover Castle.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Holy crap! I was reading through this thread and when I came up on this little gem I just about laughed the @#%* out of me. Good one
