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

Who here taking part isn't added to my PSN friends list? SubaruGaz is my PSN.

Wookie What's yours? as i know i don't have you on there, And would love to do a little practice if you guys decide to get on for a spot of practice or recon. Also are you guys planning on doing some practice/recon tonight?

I also like the idea of a stationary B-17 placed somewhere on the course, would make great fun!

Also, i have checked the course and think it's great, i'm familiar with it enough now as i had a little trouble at first recognising what was what during winter low altitude.

Has everyone, practiced landing at the Start point? as i can see afew crashes taking place there if anyone isn't comfortable with thier landing skills.

Other than that Good job!

I've done a Dover point to point one that could be good.

Basically start at Hawkinge, follow the valley to dover, then there's a red bull bit (see pic) then a race up the coastline following the cliffs (below them) all the way up north till you see some ships in a harbour pass through 2 LHS of them then there's a huge airfield to the left, first to land wins.



I'll do a full map later.

My PSN is dkwookie. I will be online later and trying out some of the courses in realistic if you fancy joining. We did a few landings under the bridge the other night on arcade and it but we didnt have too many crashes.

That map looks great Winny. I like the red bull round the lighthouses idea. If we keep it low we could try forcing each other into the cliffs

I'm GILLYBADMUTHA Gaz but I'll be more than likely on with dk later anyway.
As for the track and navigating it, that was the main reason for putting down smoking markers at points for turns/ junctions as I'm guessing they'll be needed if your trying to kill/ avoid being killed during a race. See the earlier pics I posted to give you an idea of how they look.

some1 try my track its hard as hell
i would allow small cuts on that track as it is so tight. but if your seen not trying to make the courners it would be instant disqualifacation.
so far we are up to 4 tracks i belive
kent trek
dover slalom by winny
stalingrad
and my one wating for approval
