Aerial deathrace

[dkwookie]

I had a crack at tracing that route Haitch. I used Google maps cos my USB stick isnt recongised by my PS3 either

Ok we tried Stalingrad track in realistic. It was me (ta) subarugaz (spit vi) gilly (la7) and mcq (k4). First off the planes fly half speed in realistic as they do in arcade so it was a chore flying to mark the course. Once we had done that and managed to get lined up we started test lap.
Gaz took an early lead off the line so I shot him down before the turn onto the don. I managed to get a good turn out and started down the main straight in the lead until about half a click when mcq shot me down. I looped down into 4th place and gilly and mcq took off. For a time it was two seperate races, me vs gaz and gilly vs mcq. I managed to get in front of gaz but he must have got a lucky engine shot as I started to leak speed. Made it round half the course until my engine gave out and I hit the deck. Gilly won convincingly but the finish line turned into a wrecking zone and I think I managed third when gaz crashed on landing.
Major issue for me is respawning. When my engine died I was a good 10 clicks behind but I was spawned up in the mix. I think it defeats idea of deathrace if you retire when crash or shot so open to ideas on it. I looped down into last place when I was taken out but it can make it unfair if you prosper from engine failure

ok then my solutions

1. have 2 race refs in jets and they mark out the course
2. if you get shot down or bail out you should have a penalty such as a forced landing or something

almost not quite though as my route takes some of the smaller rivers not even on that map the rout in general is vaux-sur-sure to ettlebruke

Can't wait to get this Deathrace thing underway, That night with wookie, Gilly and McQ was excellent.

Kinda felt bad for Wookie though as i just nibbled at his plane until i noticed a drop in speed. once the First person had touched down, Chaos ensued.

Great laugh though, i'm assuming during these deathraces we will all be taking the same Plane?

I am going to set up a race tonight at 11pm uk time if anyone wants to join. I reckon it will be winter Stalingrad race on realistic settings. Any prop plane allowed. Look in realistic dogfights at 11 for my session

it's a date. I've caved into peer presure and bought AvP so I'll be on there earlier no doubt.
