nice, i'm liking the look of this.

Gonna see if i can find the course on the stalingrad map to give it a go.

Nice one guys *Thumbs up*

If you find the tributary on the main river just north of where it looks on the map that there is a bridge you'll find the start just along it under the bridge. From there on it's turn right down the river past Stalingrad, keep to the left fork where the river splits and then follow that until you have a real tight right back around and up the river. Not too difficult. I'll grab a screenshot of the map tonight and post it up if it helps! Will be interesting to see in action with 'equivilent' planes as last night was mainly testing different aircraft as well as creating 'gates' to fly through.

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.

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