WWZed Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Diz Canadian Team plane has been built with all new parts and titanium bolts on the wing roots. Please remove any trees from the nearest vicinity of the track 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWDarkdiz Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) No need to remove any trees, I'll take care of that during the race. Honestly, I'm going to start painting them as victories on the side of my canopy Edited December 31, 2021 by WWDarkdiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCraven Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I'll volunteer to be the third Canuck in the CanAm race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 MAJOR UPDATE TO STARTING AND COURSE MAP UPDATED TO MATCH I have updated the rules post with changes to the starting lineup. I found I had room on the map to give everyone their own airfield so I could space them out enough for a straight forward takeoff and heading towards the SE Pylon. There is no START pylon anymore. The Start flare is now RED as green would look the same as white under some conditions against the sky background. You will also receive a message saying "GO" centered on your screen. If you move forward early more than a few feet before the start you will trigger a disqualification routine and you will not be able to score laps. Your assigned airfield will have your name on it along with your chosen plane and skin. I am locking the Can-Am race now with 6 players, 3 for each team (yay!) Please have those skins on HSD soon. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWCraven Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Sign me up for WWI - Spad XIII, Early War - FW190-A3 and late war - Spit MkXIV I'll most likely be wearing stock personal skins unless I can find time to make a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWZed Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Any chance of getting a practice server up, or the mission to practice the starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 I am starting Race Test mission up on the server. It has a mix of eight planes to choose from at three starting positions. If you want to practice starts pop a flare to initiate the start routine. Both course pylons are there but only the shorter biplane course has scoring built in if you start a race. There is a reset base you can restart the mission with by choosing a plane and spawning from there. The false start check is not in this practice mission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWSittingduck Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks. I edited the list file cause the only language file on the server is the .eng one. I was also getting "Pylon" subtitles on the far pylon (the castle one), even thou I was no more closer to it than the rest of the pylons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWCephas Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 ALL RACING CLASSES PILOTS AND PLANES ARE LOCKED AND SET IN THE MISSION FILES. Everyone who has stated their skin preference should find it pre-set in the plane loadout. Sandman's LA-5 skin is from a non-WW artist so you will need to search for it on HSD under "Artist: RaptorAttacker, LA5 Fresh Pre-Delivery" All weapons are set to EMPTY and fuel to .33%. It is up to each pilot to finalize their fuel setting. Early War WWII planes will have their mod loadouts locked. Please read the race instructions on the original post one more time if you are participating. S! and GOOD LUCK ALL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWGeezer Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Sounds good Cephas.....and like Sandy, I have confirmed you can rip the wings off of an A20 ( I am sure it was something Zed put into the skins he made for us). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWSandMan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have created a "2022_air_races" folder in the WW Vault, feel free to upload images, tracks, audio, etc., of this event to that folder. I am uploading the TeamSpeak recording now, will add a link below to the file. @WWCephas, could I ask you to upload/share the mission files for this event? (I suppose I could, since I have them now... would that work?) Just thought it might be fun to have those files available for future reference. Anyone else, feel free to use that folder for trk files, images and/or video files if you like.

WWSandMan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just to reiterate the race standings as I understand them (subject to review) : WW1 Race: 1st: Diz in a (self damaged?) SE5a 2nd: Biker in a Spad XIII 3rd: Sandy in a Spad XIII CanAm Race (all A-20B's): 1st: Frylock - Team USA 2nd: Geezer - Team USA 3rd: Sandy - Team USA (YES, a Team USA SWEEP!) WW2 ('43 and earlier) Race: (the end results of this race were that all but two pilots crashed/died, burnt out their engines, or ran out of gas; I nosed over too far on take-off and broke off my prop blades, so didn't complete a single lap) 1st (and only finisher): Wolfie - Spitfire MkV (honorable mention to Duck, missed a pylon somewhere but was still flying; killed in a collision while flying by Wolfie) Unofficial result was Biker wins, and Sandy second, the only actual survivors of the race) WW2 (Unlimited, single-engine prop only): 1st: Cephas - Bf-109K4 2nd: Diz - P-51D 3rd: Sandy - La5FN So ...depending on how you want to score things, but I give the results points as such: 3 for first, 2 for second, 1 for third. Overall for the night: Diz with 5 Cephas, Frylock, Wolfie and Sandy tie with 3, Biker and Geezer with 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
