I reckon a realistic race with arcade vs sim would be good. Bit like f1 vs wrc

f1 v wrc
f1 harder to be good at
wrc harder to do at all
its a bit like comparing skiing and snowboarding skiing is easyer to learn but its easyer to do tricks on a snowboard

I'm cool whichever mode it's played in just the logistics of it become a little more difficult with sim that's all and would need to thought out a bit more (eg your at the back and crash, you could respawn near the leaders and without being able to id you without getting in close you could effectively shoot down the leader unfairly). Plus if your all in the same plane chances are your all running together and therefore it's probably worthwhile having the guns less effective. There's then the question of rockets and/ or bombs too!!!

ok then halfway realistic would be best.
whats happening with the baling system does that person rejoin or is he out the race or what
we should do a championship as well round the world.
scores go like this
killed in action
killed in race
lucky twerp survived

or you can just use f1 points or make your own

People taking shortcuts could be an issue. Maybe one person should fly a jet to monitor the race.

Hence why I said about difficulties identifying and the reasoning behind not doing sim. We plan to have a ref if not two to monitor. Perhaps a stationary B17 to act as a ground based turret!!!!

no not a staitonary one.
do it like cycle races where a ref follows the pack

If we have a ref he can keep an eye on the map as that will show a corner cut. Anyone who does it twice gets disqualified. That way you can allow for a mistake.
Leaderboard will be good. We can score it like F1 with top 6 getting points.

ok then.
btw you are going back some years and your talking second place f1 winner now gets 20 points last year they got 10 and 2n getting 8 and it was 02 last time second got 6 points but 1st never got 6 always 10.
plus inly alow for 1 minor short cut. oh i accdently cut off half the course.
also wep will be a good factor in races too much and you kill your engine (if its realistic arcade wont make any difference) too little and your gonna be a long way behind
