Wow, that would've been superb.

I'm up for a bit of this..

I think it's gotta be in realistic mode, (maybe sim if the realistic ones go well) although someone would have to check if the arcade speed balancing affects realistic. I suppose with it being a deathrace it depends on if it's more about the death than the race..

Wookie.. if you wanna recce anytime just msg me, even if I'm MW2-ing it.
I'd love a nice relaxed flight without worrying who's behind me.


I'm trying to work out a Dover circuit to see what you lot think..

Cool will do winny. I dont mind a bit of realistic so will get online later for a fly around. I cant see it working that great in sim at all for the reasons Gilly mentioned. I think it will take a lot of the fun out if you cant id the other players and making those tight turns at speed without external view will make it very hard. Remember you need to start from the ground and land again to a full stop to finish. Not sure I would like to try that in a pack of players down a narrow river with only internal view!!

i agree with taking off to start but landing to finnish maybe not.
you should have to land if you wish to repair your plane though

Landing just adds that extra element of it all going tits up even if you have managed to lead the race the whole way round. Bit of a carlos sainz moment!!

Yeah it adds nice spice to the end of the race, especially down that frozen river. The surface makes it a different challenge to landing on a strip or field. Your plane actually does glide around a bit. I noticed mine sliding while waiting at the start line for the others to line up
