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!!

You're right about sim (I was thinking more about speeds and not remembering about keeping the wings on!) it'd be a crashfest of epic proportions.. (and that would just be the landings before the start!)

And they're were plenty of them before we'd even took off the other night. As dk mentioned landing on ice adds a while new aspect to it. The torque pull of the engine as you try and take off on ice is real fun too!!

i find it quite easy ive landed and taken off in bothe the p47 and the b17 so other planes shouldent be too much different

But in close proximity, narrow river and ice it's slightly more challenging. The 47 likes to bounce on the ice when landing and slide sideways when you throttle up for take off. Appreciate it pulls normally anyway but it's exagerated on the ice!!

i have a nice twisty track

map ardens
vaux-su-sure to ettlebruk folowing the rivver the whole way
it will be great fun (carnage too as the river is quite narrow in places) planes i would sugest are the la5fn or la7 as you need a fast rolling tight turning plane
