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

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!!

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
