Title: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 26, 2008, 05:32:10 PM
S~.

AS we gear up for racing season, i thought it would be a good idea to get some ideas regarding which planes to fly from everyone that's interested in participating.

This year's racing season, each track will have one or two planes available, but each different track can have a different plane (or two).. in other words if we race the SBD and the IL2 in race one, then maybe race two we will race p51 and the La7...   so i'd like to get an idea of what planes we should race.. not necessarily which planes should race each other.. just which planes you would like to fly at sometime during the season.. we may still go with just one plane type per race...

please, reply in this thread with a few planes that you would like to race.. 

my suggestions are these: La7 b3X20,  I-153,   P38,  F4U, J8A...

i'm thinking that if we can get an idea of what kinda of planes we want, then Dev will have an easier time creating the tracks for them.

With the improved flight model and trim , what do you all think about racing in 4.09bm?

..............S!

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 26, 2008, 07:25:24 PM
i expect we'll be racing 409b1m..  i'm still waiting to hear from the testers how a 408 built mission runs in 409.... we can decide that either at the next meeting, or it may  depend on how much of the track building has been done and what complications it may cause....

S! Looking forward to the racing season. What I would like is to fly some of the earlier planes. Not just the fastest ones. I think this would help with keeping the race more challenging and possibly more lead changes in the race. Planes that overheat easier and take longer to cool off etc. I think in that way all the racers could use some strategy to win as well as speed and flying skills. Some of the early spits come to mind. Also to use planes that can make the turns on the track we fly. If you have some tight corners a P-38 might not do very well with that. Anyway thanks for working on it fellas. Its gonna be fun.

I,d also like the earlyer aircraft...as long as all the pilots are flying the same aircraft per Race it would make no difference to me.  :lol-029:

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 28, 2008, 04:27:32 PM
S~.  From what i'm hearing, the one plane per track option is the way to go.. So we'll want a list of ten planes...

we've  got a couple suggestions so far.. a good mix is what we're looking for.  nothing too exotic... no jets or rockets, please. 

  i don't think you want to leave it up to me to pick all ten.
Here's a rough draft  of what  i would start with for a list.

  1. Mustang Mk. whatever it was that Moggy flew to first place in last year's season.
  2. La whatever it was i flew last season.  cuz i like that one.
  3. I- 185.. it's fast but accelerates kinda slowly.. and Skat likes it.
  4. Spit .. an early one  ala Foxbat's suggestion.
  5. TB3.. thanks, Stiffy.
  6. I-153 .. gotta have a biplane race.
  7. P 38 .. always seems to be showing up at the races.
  8. Stuka.. Cuz it's fun to say!
  9. Bf109 .. oughta have a german fighter in the mix.
10. Zero .. oughta have a japanese plane in there, too.   

  Dev will be matching the tracks to the plane as he builds em, so it would be helpful to get  the list of planes set.

   I'm thinking there's gotta be a plane or two that some body would like to see swapped out  from the ones listed above. let me know.   

thanks.

Post by: _AH_Deviant on June 28, 2008, 10:53:37 PM
We could maybe make sets of three aircraft per race type, so that way there's a little bit of variety? For example, Gladiators and I-153's, or La-7 3xB20's and Mustang Mk. III's.

Also, I'm almost finished. I need to speak to you BB before I wrap it up though.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 29, 2008, 01:19:10 AM
S~ Dev. wow..thanks..except last night you said you hadn't started and wouldn't be starting to do the actual building for about a week...so we could get a list of the planes we would be racing so the tracks would be appropriate for the plane  that we would be flying on it. 

ok.. yep.. guess we should talk some more..   :drinking-29:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Ring on June 29, 2008, 01:22:19 PM
Dev, I was hopeing that we would NOT have different aircraft per Race, That way it is pilot skill that determines the winner....not the flight model.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 29, 2008, 01:41:47 PM
S~.  Yea, it's been made pretty clear to me  that the preference is one plane type per track so that's how we're gonna race.

     
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Gonzo on June 29, 2008, 10:42:19 PM
Here's a couple of things I'd like to see for this year's racing league:

1. The tracks are challenging instead of difficult but NOT impossible.

2. One different aircraft type per track, especially types that we don't commonly fly. Here are some alteration ideas to BBQ's list above (Marked in red ).

Quote1. Mustang Mk. whatever it was that Moggy flew to first place in last year's season.
  2. La whatever it was i flew last season.  cuz i like that one. (You flew a La-7(3x20) BBQ!) I would suggest a LaGG model.  
  3. I- 185.. it's fast but accelerates kinda slowly.. and Skat likes it.
  4. Spit .. an early one  ala Foxbat's suggestion.
  5. TB3.. thanks, Stiffy.
  6. I-153 .. gotta have a biplane race.
  7. P 38 .. always seems to be showing up at the races. Beaufighters might be a good alternative.
  8. Stuka.. Cuz it's fun to say!  9. Fw-190A4... Slow to accelerate and bleeds speed easy.
10. Ki-100 ... Japanese.

3. Tracks be made available "A few days" prior to race day.

4. Apart from simply having race winners, flights will form teams and the points accumulated by the pilots of a flight go to the over all score of that respective flight.

5. Clearly defined restart rules.

6. Everyone has a good laugh!
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Deviant on June 30, 2008, 12:51:21 AM
Once the tracks are done, I have an idea. Maybe teams should be in teams of two or three (like in most racing teams), and that each team shares a similar skin. Maybe a few of us should make some legitimate-looking racing skins for racing, with a similar style that can be easily pasted and modified to fit all of the aircraft we'll be flying.

Just a thought. :)
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: Foxbat on June 30, 2008, 06:39:30 AM
Think your onto something there Dev. Sounds cool.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 30, 2008, 02:06:19 PM
S~.

Teams might work.. we'll see how many like the idea.. i'm just as happy flying for individual score, but if enough guys like the idea.. why not?   thanks for the plane suggestions.   kinda surprised to see the stuka still on the list.. the beaufighter sounds like a good one. 

if we continue to get suggestions for planes during the week..we'll finalize the plane set at the meeting.  otherwise i'm ok with the list as is with gonzo's additions .. but i'm open to still making some changes on it, too..

the tracks will all be made available for DL  before the season starts.  and we'll know which track/plane will be raced next a  week ahead of time.   

restarts will be only if we lose 4 planes before wheels up.  once all planes are up... no restarts unless there's a race halting game glitch on the host/server side... such as a lost host connection..  personally i would be ok with no restarts..but i think we have to be open to  the idea that we're gonna run into a couple of restarts.  plus having been run over several times during the starts of last year's season and i can understand the frustration of being knocked out through no fault of your own.. but as they say.. that's racing...   and races are short..so if you do get knocked out.. you won't be waiting long..

races are done in Dogfight rooms, so we won't have guys getting kicked to their desktops on spawn, and everyone will have time to preflight their controls.. so no restarts for  individual control problems.   

we'll also use a non standard password to minimize the chance of mid race spawn lag...

i intend to view most issues during the race -  like  stutter,  surging, malfunctioning controls, etc.  as racing luck. and will not be planning on restarting for those kinds of things.  no way to cover every possible scenario that might come up... but for the most part ,  i expect to not restart for much. 

i am considering penalty points for mid race respawns, or running over people on the start, or causing too many crashes or delays..  for instance.. nosing over three times ( or more) while trying to line up for a start.. i kinda like the idea.. but might be too much trouble. not sur how fair that would be to a team of racers either  if we decide to go with teams. 

glad to see some suggestions coming in.  don't be shy..

  Please Sign up ( reply) here if you plane to participate in the 2008 _AH_ Racing League.


  THe idea of teams was brought up,  could prove difficult.. but i was thinking that we might track racers by Flight.. A, B,  C, D..  HQ guys filling in  as needed and see if it doesn't add i nice element to it..
the emphasis will be on individual scoring, but i think the team thing is good.. so we'll try it.

Yeah, teams would be good, and it goes without saying that I'm flying the racing. ;)

As for the teams thing, there should be a bonus to racers of a team who win the first, second and/or third place positions; it would encorage blocking and teaming up for the betterment of the team. :)

S~. Aces High Racing is meant to encourage competition and sportsmanship.

  Blatant blocking ( altering your course to impede a faster plane) will be cause for disqualification.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on July 19, 2008, 01:57:04 PM
S~.  These are the updated rules for the 2008 season. 


                                                    2008  Aces High Racing League Rules


(http://www.aceshigh.ws/BBQ/pix/racingplane.gif)



1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of ten races each featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week. NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "Invulnerability" set to "On. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is refering to the area from the start line to the end of the first turn..   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise. Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one. No points will be awarded to a crashed pilot no matter what position they were occupying at the end of the race. Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized. A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> Points for each heat will be awarded as follows:
1st Place: 15 pts
2nd Place: 10 pts
3rd Place: 8 pts
4th Place: 6 pts
Finishing a race in lower than 4th position: 3 pts

11> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

12> This racing league will be subject to the wishes and decisions of the Aces High command staff. Rules may be changed, modified, or nullified at their discretion without prior warning.

~S~ In my practice runs I notice that there are two turns that just beg you to fly WAY above the stacks. Will this DQ the pilot for that run???
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on August 09, 2008, 12:44:04 AM
way above will get you disqualified.   try to keep below the balloons.. on this course the balloons are higher, so picture a line drawn across the track from the balloons to the stacks.. keep at least one wingtip below that line.  the DQ will be waived if you are forced  to go above to avoid an out of control plane..as long as you make your best effort to get back in bounds as quickly as possible.   

there are a couple places on the track where there are invisible trees under you.. making the stacks and balloons effectively shorter..  but you'll just have to be more careful there.

and over the crests of a couple of hills there are immediate downhill spots..  there will be some leniency if the out of bounds is minimal.   

the altitude rule is most strictly enforced  at the last stack before you start climbing again.   if you fly over that one, you're shortening the track and not having to climb as far as if you were below the line there.   
and when you're in  the  turns altitude is closely watched.. keep at least a  wingtip below that line from the balloons to the stacks.

   and just an fyi.. most all  of the DQ's last week were for being on the wrong side of the pylons, not for flying too high.

Really fun racing last night. all. 

Race 5 will be :  P38L's  on a brand new track.  Dev has his computer up and running again and built this one for us. I've to add the brief and then i'll put it in the DL section so everyone has a chance to practice.  Practice on this one is highly recommended.  There are two turns on the track where you will crash if you don't. .  They are well marked, but if you've not seen them before bad things will happen when you get there.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on August 10, 2008, 06:35:37 PM
S~. Well ... there is a slight delay in getting the track available.. i'm unable to edit it in any way.. can't seem to add the brief.. waiting to hear back from Dev.. hopefully it's a simple fix..

worst comes to worst i have another track from the grab bag worked up, so  whichever track we'll use will be posted by sometime tonight.


Update.. finally got the brief to go in  (kooky)...  but i need to host this one with as many people on line as possible.. a test for spawn points. .. don't want to have any of that ' fifth  guy to  join will always explode when he tries to come in' nonsense..   will be a quick test..  spawn.. stay in til everyone spawns.. and we're done.   Once i'm sure that works.. i'll make it available.

I redownloaded the track i posted and i a not getting a crash.. sounds like you might have two tracks with the same name in your folder.. orr you didn't get the updated one in there correctly.. try deleting any AH 409 Up and Down files you can find in there.. then re copy the updated files.. three of them.. into  a folder inside your net/dogfight folder.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Moggy on September 02, 2008, 05:45:30 PM
~S~ all:

Dev, I appreciate the effort, but that Industrial City track is a "thumbs down" for me, on two counts:

1.  Slide Show.  I turned my Landscape Detail settings all the way down to "low," and still had a slide show, with an avg of 12 FPS, for about half the track.  Totally unplayable for me.  If you add 15+ planes, all with smoke on, it would probably be about 8 FPS.  No go.

2.  I fear that this track will be a "demolition derby" affair, rather than a strait race, with numerous crashes at the various "obstacle" points.  Especially with the low frame-rates.

Moggy
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on September 02, 2008, 08:12:50 PM
S~. yea. frame rates were a concern for this one..  when we tested it online a couple guys mentioned them.. i was hoping it was due to my connection as i was hosting... not the best upload speed..

Since you're having problems with it offline as well...  the back up plan is to use the same track we used for the IL's.. i believe it 's the twister track...  it's an interesting track and should have a different feel than with the Lagg. 

i'll confirm this a little later today when i am at my home computer..

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on September 02, 2008, 11:14:47 PM
S~.  I've uploaded the replacement track.  the only changes i made to the previously flown twister are the plane and the number of laps.   We will be racing 2, 3, and 4 laps for heats 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

  Sorry for the switch, but it was necessary.

S! Congrats on the C ship Moggy. Well done. It was an exciting series of races and I had a great time flying them. Great racing by everyone...

Thanks, Foxbat.  But, I was right (sort of)!

If you figure the avg. # of points earned per heat finished, here's how it broke down:

Foxbat:  12.05
Moggy   11.54
BBQ      11.2

Head-to-head, in heats we both finished:

Moggy vs. Foxbat:
   Foxbat  11.6
   Moggy  11.1

Moggy vs. BBQ:
   Moggy  11.14
   BBQ     10.92

And in heats where all 3 of us finished (there were only 9 of 'em, out of 30! (roll):

   Foxbat  10.9
   Moggy  10.9
   BBQ     10.0

Sort of tells a different story, eh?

Nice work putting that info together Moggy. Its kinda neat but it doesn't have the most important stat in there. That is, who flew the races the best.
That was you. And you won it. Boys, I been up beside Moggy. He aint runnin no nitrous. He's a good racer and runs a smooth line. He also knows the best way to save his engine on each plane we flew. We got work to do! I'll see ya on the track fellas. Salute to the Champ _AH_Moggy!

S~ All.


i figure we could just keep using this thread for the upcoming racing season.


the winter/spring racing season is quickly coming at us. scheduled to begin in mid to late february we're going to use the same format as last season.

All in the same type of plane for each race.. 3 heats of varying lengths for each track. 10 tracks in all.

so for now.. we're looking for suggestions as to which plane(s) you think would make for some fun racing.

we're open to just about anything.. single engine, jets, multi - props,  float planes.. we'll pick ten from the suggestions list..  and build a couple new tracks for the season as well.

please reply to this thread with your suggestions for which type of planes you think would be fun and interesting to race.

Well here's my 2cents.

Me-262 or MiG-9 on the "Pillars of Hercules" track or similar.

The Me-210 or Me-410 might be interesting too.

Post by: _AH_Toccs on January 05, 2009, 05:28:22 PM
Jets would  be great.  Overheating would have to be managed carefully, and we would need a runway about the length of Atlanta-Hartsfield.   :cool:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_taldrg on January 05, 2009, 06:35:29 PM
~S~  Not only the length of the runway for jets but on the turns the towers will have to be at least one mile high in order to stay below them to be legal.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on January 07, 2009, 12:11:00 AM
S~.. noted... 210's.. Mig-9's..262's.. 410's  Pillars of Hercules is always a fun one..


    all good suggestions so far.. we asked for for planes we don't fly as often.. and we're getting an interesting list..


all reasonable suggestions will be considered..  i have a plan that should accommodate two or three ideas that might be more umm.. creative than usual..  will explain more if you ask me..and/or  at the next meeting .. so keep em coming..

how about the komet, easy to rip the wings off or any of the non-fuel injected planes and fly it on a track with alot of hills so you have to go inverted over the hills  keep the motor running

Hey TD, don't think that being last is a bad thing. One race I got last, and got second place because everyone else crashed, burned out their engine, or ran out of fuel! Heck, I remember that I ran out of fuel and ROLLED across the finish line which I think is still AH Racing's biggest controversy thus far. :happy-112:

Oh yeah, I'd like to fly a N1K2-Ja. Yes, the one with the pesky automatic flaps. (wavey)

The Official Results from Race 2 are in...

Great turnout for Race 2..  We had our first DQ's of the season.. Flying too high... coming over the tops of hills, and incidental contact or bumping causing you to go too high are, in the spirit of aw c'mon we're not getting paid we're just having fun, generally overlooked.. but flying too high on straightways and especially as you begin to climb a hill are, in the spirit of aw c'mon we have to be  fair to the guys that don't fly too high.. those will almost always result in  a DQ.

   There was some reckless flying as well.. the reckless pilot(s) will receive a warning via pm..  if you don't get one.. it wasn't you.
Remember that when you're racing, the other plane has a right to hold his line.. you can't just fly through him.. you have to go around him.

and here's out it all ended up saturday night..

~S~ Gents, Just wanted to apologize for my "Earnhardt Sr." racing. I know rubbin is part of racing, but it seems I rub quit a bit. Im still kinda new to racing this is my 4th race total, so im workin on my situational awareness. usually when people get close they will call it "inside low" "High" "Outside" etc. I wasnt gettin much feedback as to were other racers were, and if I cant see you I cant avoid you. I believe most of my bumps were when I was passin someone, I thought I was clear and followed my line, so for those who got some navy blue paint on their plane, im sorry. I will work on it, and try to be more like "Tony stewart"  :lol-034:

Nice display of racing skill from Rgaa as he seemed to be gettin roughed up a bit on his way to victory for the evening.

Dev made a really nice recovery from bumping a pole in the side hill loopy crossover turn.     
 
Track for this one  is one of the most fun to watch i've seen.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 05, 2009, 05:15:50 PM
S~. Was a wild night  for racing, but the results are in.

  Apparently there was a problem for some of the racers in that the wire Chimneys that marked the left side of the course weren't there for them.  So some of the racers had no idea that they were a little inside here and there.. in fairness to them i waived any DQ's for inside the marker.. just doesn't seem fair to DQ a guy when he has no way of knowing when he's off course. and the  infractions were slight..  there were a couple of too highs that were also waived.. also very slight, and didn't improve positions.

a lot of guys that did go off course did a nice job of coming back around to where they were and re netering the course...

and a lot of tight racing and position changes with minimal rubbing.. there was some.. but everyone was doing a pretty good job of trying to give the other guy room.

the track and plane for next week will be made available some time later today.

and here are the results from last night:

Salute to Stiffy..  he finished first in the second race , then pointed out the incident to me and insisted he be DQ'd for going too high.

BBQ,

I had a few minutes to have a go at #8 track. I noticed that there is only finish poles. No start poles or fires for lining up or show a direction. I did remember hearing something on coms about keeping the poles to the left so hope I was even going in the right direction but I'd like a confirmation please  :happy-119:

A big heads up for the upcoming ME-410 race. The plane has a HUGE amount of left-pulling torque when throttling from 0 to 110%, so make sure that you practice the plane's throttling characteristics before the race! It got so bad a few times that it took me from rolling straight out, to across the twelve-runway-wide runway! (kooky)

I found that holding full right rudder before spooling works best.

QuoteS! all....Practicing raceing today with a few of the boyz we discovered that the 410 in some guys games have wep and some don,t...I would suggest that we change planes for this race as there is no even playing field

Ring

Posted in General, but I figured it should be posted here. In any case, it is correct, there are some major inconsistencies with the ME-410, which appears that some players have wep in this plane, and others don't, which would be a major disadvantage and thus should have the plane removed. The cause of this is that the ME-410 is an AAA exclusive aircraft, and thus, has a flight model that is subject to change.

That said, the ME-210 on the other hand is from the original game (though AI). We should change to that plane simply because the skins for the 410 work on the 210, and it wouldn't be as big of a change.

In addition, I wanted to bring up a little dogfight room secret that, to prevent exploits by those who already know it, could be used for racing. Players can actually set a custom fuel amount by modify the conf.ini file before joining a dogfight room. The catch is that once you change the fuel ingame, that change is lost. I ask people to not use this fueling method, or, if approved, only change it once to prevent people from exiting and entering just to get those 'few extra/fewer gallons'.

S~.

  I'm guessing that this difference is one of the differences from aaa unified installer versions  1.0 and 1.1.


  which begs the next question... what other planes are also different? 

this is more than a small problem.   

all racing is canceled until we can get rid of these inconsistencies. 
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Deviant on April 17, 2009, 05:24:06 AM
If we can't iron them out, the only way we can keep going is to stick to non-mod aircraft (basically, any aircraft, AI or not, that was in 4.08/4.09 before the mods came along). AAA has a policy not to change those aircraft, and if someone breaks those rules, I'm sure you'll hear about it.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Deviant on April 17, 2009, 05:31:19 AM
I just threw in 1.1 into my existing 1.0 install (after backup up my orignal install of course  (kooky)), and I have MW50 working now. It seems that 1.1 has added something to the aircraft. What that is, I don't know. Whatever it is, it's working now. I'll look more closely tomorrow to see what exactly changed, by picking apart the installs to figure out what changed.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 17, 2009, 07:35:31 AM
S~..

  After talking on comms, some that have 1.0  didn't have MV50 ( wep )   and some did.. same with the 1.1..

well.. actually out of the three that i heard..  dev's is working  in a test folder with 1.1 ..

archie's started working with no changes.. and that leaves one that has something amiss in his game.. that we know of...   

  thanks for the troubleshooting, Dev. good luck finding the glitch.. 

  i don't like the idea of changing planes one day before the race.. so if we can't get everyone's 410's.. the race will be scrubbed .. and we'll run a different plane next week..

   
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Twisted on April 17, 2009, 02:34:42 PM
I do agree on changing of planes this close to the race date. However the Me-210 could be subbed in. It appears to be the same plane and the skins are interchangeable. This plane appears to have no WM50 or wep, at least for me it doesn't. This would be the only difference I can see thus far but haven't run it on the race track but I can't see the handling being that much difference only acceleration and top speed.

Only a suggestion BBQ

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 17, 2009, 11:40:36 PM
S~. Well... 24 hours til happy hour and i don't know if we can get the guys that don't have their planes working  fixed in time.

   It came to me that if their planes haven't been working, then they really haven't been able to practice..

  getting their planes fixed just in time to race puts them at a disadvantage this week..

SO.. here's what i'm gonna suggest..  as it stands right now.. the race tomorrow will not be the 410's..

UNless... we find a simple fix AND the guys that needed to be fixed are ok with not having practiced..  i know some guys only practice the day of, so if they happen to be the same guys that had the problem.. which is a very outside chance..but if that's the case, then we'll go ahead and race the 410's.. 

What i expect instead..  is, as i remember mentioning at the start of the season.. racing is one of those postpone-able  events , but we might fly an 'experimental' race instead of postponing too often..   So if we don't race the 410's tomorrow.. which is the most likely scenario, we'll  race something else.. but it won't count towards the season standings..  It'll be  a surprise.. and it will be quite different  from the usual races...

   there were some suggestions made earlier in the season i'm considering..  and if this never been tried before type race  turns out to be one that we like, we might add it into the rotation for next season.  think.. cross country?.. or maybe  out and back off of and back onto carriers?.. but those sound a little plain... i'm just gonna go crazy with the cheez wiz and then start building... something that seems like it should be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys.. not real monkeys.. they bite..   

bottom line.. we're gonna race... but it might not be the 410's..     if it's not the 410's.  then the finishing order will not figure into the season points totals.. BUT.. i do linda like the idea of a little trophy type thing for your awards page for this "experimental" race.... like the season racing trophies, but probably a bit smaller..

YES! Me and BBQ found a very simple fix for those without MW50 in the 410: http://aceshigh.ws/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=get299

Download it, and plug it into "IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Files\gui\game\"

Question from a non-map builder....

Can you make a canyon map?  I was thinking, if possible, make a canyon map that is as long DW's bad attitude, or even as long as Dev's rants on Vent.... jk ;).   The canyon walls will represent the pilons and it's that simple.  If a break in the map is necessary to make a directional change, so be it, altitude of the racers won't have to change obviously....but since I don't make maps.... is it possible to line up a section of a map with a canyon next to another, and fly through it?   What comes to mind specifically for me is the section of map on the Africa amp where the river heads north and then splits into a "Y" as it meets the sea, with a triangular island at that end.  If it's possible, take that "canyon like" part of the map and use it as a section of track, and carry on from there?  Just a thought here, but I'm sure this post will spark the creative juices to flowing in one of you awesome map builders and if it's doable, something might come out of this one...maybe....

Also, a cross country race sounds absolutely awesome in my opinion...never ending straightaways, tight turns to slow you down and re-think your plan, Oh the strategy!!!!!   My 2 cents on that one...

Just wish I was around this weekend for the races.... I'm on nights till Monday morning, so see you guys up there Monday night!

  woo hoo.  :drinking-42:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Gonzo on April 18, 2009, 05:45:58 AM
While I'm happy to hear that the 410 race might be a go after all, I like BBQ's idea of a "Cross country" race. In the real world they still do these kinds of thing. Instead of the race being based on shortest time between points (Some times there can be more than 8 that an aircraft has to fly over) the race is based on time over target.

Example:

Aircraft one has a brakes off time of 09:00.
First waypoint time will be 09:15
Second waypoint time will be 09:27
Third waypoint time 09:45
etc...
etc...
Touch down time onto a specified touch down area on a runway at time 10:16.

Any delay in the aircraft arriving at a waypoint at a specified time a=equals points deducted from that aircraft. The distance away from the touch down area of the runway during landing is also deducted from the aircraft's points.

The aircraft with the least amount of deducted points wins the race.

While not near as exciting as our typical pylon racing there is a learning element to the "Cross country" (Or "Air Rally") racing format that teaches navigation, timing, aircraft management, and landing technique.

I'd be more than happy to try and come up with such a course, route, and landing field for such a race but admittedly the scoring might be a little hard to track.

Anyway, just an idea.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 18, 2009, 01:44:32 PM
S~.. sounds like fun, Gonzo. and, on accounta that's what we're here for, go for it..

  the cross country idea seems to be getting some traction.. i don't think we'll need it tonight.. and  buidling a new comcept from scratch in a day seesm like quite the endeavor.. take your time with it.. i believe we have three season races, including tonight's... but after that i 'm thinking we do a few more experimental type races.. keep em on the calendar.. same time and day as always.. and try a few different things..

  Air rally sounds good.. waypoints 20 seconds apart sounds a little rough..lol... but i'm thinkin those were just examples.. and yes.. the scoring could be a challenge..but, heck.. let's explore  some ideas and try em out.   my original idea for a cross country was for no course.. just a starting line and a finish line.. with some hills and a mountain in the way..maybe an island..test tracks just off shore at one end of it for starting.., and a finish line on the beach on the other side of it..  dev has been eager to build a cross county course as well..

there are some other ideas in the hopper for other interesting scenarios, too.. 

I'm expecting to race the 410's tonight.. unless too many guys show up at 8 pmEDT with no wep..if they're there for happy hour, we can get em fixed up. If we have less than eight ready to fly at 8..  we'll run an experimental race tonight instead...     
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Twisted on April 18, 2009, 03:26:17 PM
The fix has been posted BBQ. Dev and yourself went through the hassles to find what was wrong and offer the fix in the downloads. It's also been talked about on vent. Should be no reason for those racing to have not "fixed" the problem  :happy-026:

The "rally" style sounds like a hoot. As far as check points that would be hard to realistically control and keep it fun.

I'd like to add a suggestion of using ground smoke of some sort or something that is visible from a distance where you have to either fly through it or around it on a stated side. This would not only challenge your ability to trim the plane out for max performance but navigational. We could still use the current settings if it is decided.

We could do either staggered starts, harder to referee unless we have a people willing to sit and stop watch it, or we could use a single all start and still run a first to finish by either crossing a finish line or first to land and come to a complete stop.
Penalties could be based on missing a "check or waypoint", breaking your gear off, bumping (would be no need to fly that close to someone), bend your prop, etc. Penalties from DQ to time. It really leaves a lot of flexibility either way.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 18, 2009, 05:36:25 PM
S~.. th first thought i had for the rally was to have waypoints put in, but no minimap path and use a plane with one of those automated pointy things..  each player would then keep an individual track..

  using the timer that's displayed when watching the track.. could then email a list of the times when he started, and then each time the APT ( automatic Pointy Thing)  changed heading, indicating a waypoint was reached..

   but then i realized that would have to be a coop map to have waypoints.. lol.. 

i really don't have a suggestion for the rally scoring.

What a night of racing!

First I'd like to thank EVERYONE for the season. The map builders like my call sign, "Twisted"  :lol-053: . We certainly had some interesting nights of racing.

In a sad way it will be nice to take a short break, at least for me. With time during the week limited it will give me a much needed time to focus on RL things. With that said I am looking forward to the summer season also. I do have a few ideas for some truely "evil" tracks I will submit for consideration.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League

S~.. Practice is encouraged which is why the track is made available the week prior to the race. Not sure how many guys would rather run practice laps than shoot and bomb stuff though..  You  can always practice offline of course,  wouldn't recommend  on line practice during prime time. but if it's before or after, go for it if you're in the mood.

  The rocket engine can be turned off by selecting engine 2 and  pulling the throttle back to 0.  It's an on or off engine, if it's on it's running at 100%, but it can be throttled on and off until it runs out of fuel.  :happy-016:

BBQ, I'm seeing the N1K1-Ja as the next plane for racing.

Could this PLEASE (!!!!!) be changed to the N1K2-Ja?

The N1K1-Ja is an add on aircraft that was originally never meant to be player flyable. Also, it's uglier than sin! It's got two huge gun pods that it has to lug around and bubbles and blisters all over the shop. while the K2 model is much cleaner and more robust to fly. Lastly the "Auto" flap on the K2 actually works right.

Any chance of a switch?!?

PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP??

S~..

AS much as i don't like changing things once they've been released..and even though you didn't even mention the coolness of the new track i'll go ahead with this change based on the auto flaps working properly.  

Gonna up load the new plane with the track now.  The new Download is called Updated Practice Track #3.  The mission files are the same name as before, so select 'yes to all' when asked to overwrite the existing files when placing them in a folder in the dogfight folder.

If you know how to change the plane in full mission builder, you can do that instead of downloading the updated one.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on September 17, 2009, 12:09:08 AM
mwuhuhahahahaaa...  i was mostly concerned about the runway and the start..

  I was just trying to make a course with a few hills..  then i had to find a path that had no invisible trees .. and excepting the two or three crossover turns which are basically little circles or ovals, it's right then left then right then left..

As is normal racing protocol on the hilly courses, some leniency will be granted coming over the top of a hill.. some, meaning a little..just  get back down quickly.. but the bottom of a hill is where you will be DQ'd for sure if you're too high. Being too high at the bottom of a hill is a big no no as that is, for all intents and purposes, the same as short cutting a turn. 

To avoid DQ's, fly near the pillars on one side or the other of the track and you can be sure that you're not too high quite easily that way.

After finally having enough time to try the track out, I'm not betting on DQ's as much as DNF's.  However I do agree with your disabling part lol.

That track is just plain and simply EVIL!  :help2:

S~.

  Sorry about Saturday night's Race Fiasticle.  Spent most of the day trying to correct thing. I think i've got it to where it'll work as it should.

  There's been no change whatsoever to the layout of the  course, i've added another spawn point to the base and added some additional  course markers, especially to  the 'easy to miss turn'.   

The overhead markers i was hoping to add  at the tops of hills was not doable in any kind of reasonable fashion, so those won't be there.

I still want to test the map for spawn problems.  We'll need a lot of people  to spawn and taxi around a bit.

I don't want to post the latest revision until we've tested it, but since there are no changes to the  layout of the track, it won't affect anyone's practice laps. If you want to practice, you can use the practice track that's currently in the View Downloads section.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on September 23, 2009, 02:17:11 PM
S~.. we tested the newest version of the track and it was semi successful.

  It's available for DL in the view downloads section.  The file names are the same, so when/if you DL it, select yes to all when asked to overwrite when putting it into your folder inside the dogfight folder. 

   The limited number of planes permitted on the spawn base means we will have to air start on saturday.  There was no way to work around it without changing the course, which i really didn't want to do.  So it will be  air start  (on saturday), land, line up.. race.

Improvements made: red and blue markers on the turns, better intersection markers, and an additional spawn point. NO changes to the layout of the  course was made.

S~.  After  a rather Challenging night of Racing, the results are in.  Another great night of racing thrills.
Some really impressive passing as well as engine and course management was on display.
*Special Note: Due to anomalies in the recorded tracks (planes sliding underground, upside down, etc.) and the challenging mature of the course, no DQ's were applied as any seen were very minor and they did not improve any  of the racers positions at the finish.

Recorded Tracks can be downloaded from here: http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Mid%2009%20Race%203%20Tracks (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Mid%2009%20Race%203%20Tracks)

I just had my first few laps of the new track.

First time around corner 3 got a video glitch where the background when all black. Weird but who knows what caused that.

Second attempt I completed 2 full laps.
There are 3 sections where everyone will be DQ'ed. You can't stay below the towers on the crests of the peaks. Not with trees there. The Wall bank part don't even get me started.

I don't mind tough tracks like our first one, but at least you could run it. This track is more of an aerobatic course with a ceiling which you can't exceed, while skimming trees.

Nice in theory but not practical for racing. I personally won't race this current track as is. So if the intent is to race it, I'll just pass and find something else to do.

Sorry Gonzo I know you spent a lot of time making it, and BBQ changing the objects. It might be fun for a very few, but with height DQ's and the layout this isn't challenging, more frustrating.
The last track we just ran had very little changes in elevation and look how many DNF's there were. Look back to Race one and see how many DNF's there were and that had quite a few elevation changes but most were nothing compared to going complete vertical then down 180 degs on the backside of a mountain.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on October 26, 2009, 04:19:28 PM
S~. The DNF's  in the last race were the results of being bumped, or a couple were guys that came into a turn too fast and crashed after hitting the pillars, and one that ran out of fuel.

Agreed this track is a little challenging, but it doesn't seem that tough to me.  some tracks take more than a  few laps to get used to.

I had no problems staying  below the tops of the towers coming over the hills.

 For those that are planning to race,  please give the track a go, and let me know what you think within the next day  or two.  IF, within a day or two, there are enough that say it's too difficult for them , we'll find another track. Otherwise we'll race it as is.

   
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Gonzo on October 26, 2009, 07:47:07 PM
S!

I humbly request that the track be withdrawn from the racing league schedule. Due to the size, layout of the map, and the invisible trees, this track will probably cause both frame rate and DNF issues. Also, this map has NOT been tested with a large group of aircraft flying on it. The fact that this course was designed to teach energy management is beside the point.

I also humbly suggest that this Saturday's race be canceled  until such time that a replacement track can be selected. If anything, the break will allow everyone to enjoy Halloween.

Kindly note also, that I WILL NOT compete further in the Aces High Racing league.

Respectfully,

S~ Gonzo

Since this Saturday is Halloween, and i always like to post a track a week ahead for practicing,  this Saturday's race is postponed, and a different track will be made available on Sunday.

 

 
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Twisted on October 26, 2009, 08:27:26 PM
I had no issues with frame rates. It ran decently smooth actually. As far as trees well I haven't hit one yet though I've managed to stall the plane on a the same down slope 2x now only because I was trying different things.
Trial and error and I did figure a way to make the sharp peak spots I did appear to stay within the limits of the building heights to the left.

Regardless on how "one" person feels on a track layout that shouldn't effect a race either. BBQ did ask how others felt. I know I built a track for the spring season that BBQ felt it better not to run for a number of reason. I didn't get upset. I just built something else for later on.

I've been told on a number of times we each are allowed to express our feelings on things. By Gonzo reacting as such I'll just keep my big mouth shut next time and not post like I did earlier.

My apologies Gonzo, BBQ, and Aces High Squad Members.

S! Twisted, I holey agree with your opinion of the track. Hence, my request to BBQ to exempt it from the the race schedule.

My initial idea was to make the a track as tough as possible on the "Straight away screamers" negating their straight line capabilities and maybe giving the slower guys at the back end of the field a chance to close the gap a little. If they could survive the course. Maybe I made it too tough.

QuoteI've been told on a number of times we each are allowed to express our feelings on things.

I think such instruction is correct, warranted and in most cases justified.

And just to clarify why I dropped out; I dislike flying bombers because straight and level flying is just too similar to my day job (Except for the part when you hit the pickle button). In fact,  any sort or form of prolonged straight and level flight while not on duty simply bores me to tears. Quite simply, unless you start actively thinking about and meeting waypoint, gate, IP, RV, and ToT times, there's absolutely nothing to be learned from it.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on October 27, 2009, 07:42:06 AM
S~.
  The last three tracks have been  flat tracks. Was by no means meant to be a requirement of racing. It just so happened that they were built by three different racers so i was happy to have them contributing and wanted to include those tracks in our race schedule.
  Which is just one more reason i was glad to see the track that Gonzo had built had hills. However, since  that one  is now excluded.  I'm going to build a new track.  I'm sure you all remember the last track i built.. not because we had such problems getting it launched ( air start because  the  base didn't fit enough planes) but because it was a hilly twisty course.. although now that i think about it, there was a flat part on it, too.
  anyway.. the old saying that comes to mind is:  Be careful what you wish for.
        (maniacal laughter)
  New track will be made available for practice Sunday.

~S~ After WW2 when the air races started again thay were held at Cleveland, Ohio at the downtown airport which meant flying over populated areas. People in their backyards could watch the planes go by and talk about NOISE. The planes were Corsairs..P-51s...P-47s...P-38s all raceing together. What a sight to see and hear and ol' TD flew from Peoria, Il to there in a 65 HP Aronca 7AC.  Had a Narco whistle stop tuner radio and the anttena was tossed out the window and trailed behind the plane to get landing instructions and then I wound it up around my hand after landing. Those were the days my friend.

S~. Sorry for the late posting of the practice track.  our Upload section is currently not accepting uploads, was trying to get a new track ready, but have been unable to find enough time to get it completed.. SO

we're going to use one we've raced before a couple times.  But with a new challenge. it is a very flat track, but it's one that i built two seasons ago and has lots of turns.. imagine that..   


Since we'll be racing the Ta183, if you don't slow down for the curviest part, you will black out and crash..  should be exciting.

Since the uploads won't work currently ( Hornet will be troubleshooting it this weekend) i've uploaded it here instead: http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Practice%20Track%209?uc=1&isFromRichUpload=1 (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/Practice%20Track%209?uc=1&isFromRichUpload=1)

You know the drill.. Download, unzip, place both files inside a folder in your net/dogfight folder.

I think i have something wrong with my monitor.  Every time i do a 90 degree turn at 455MPH my screen goes dark and i crash.


Going to buy a new monitor so i can race on Sat.

~S~ gang, WOW, kewl thanks guys got some great stuff real fast. Seems like alot of you might be interested in see a video or two. Great, I like making them. Ive got an ideal Id like to run by everyone. If your plannning to run Race Take 9 this week. Record all your flight of it. If you crash go to someone else view and stay with them till the end. Also if you think youve crashed in a kewl spot that gives you a neat view of passing plane, record them aswell. At the end of the night email me the recordings. Ill edit them and put sound music to it and we'll see how it turns out.
Thanks Zulu 5 Oscer

Oh one more thing, Im going to need someones help with coverting the records over to AVI, WMP or DivX format. With these formats Im able to edit the files into a video. If you know how or what software Ill need to convert the file, please let me know. Ive never worked with NTRK file format before, and Im not sure what Ill need to covert them. Til then Ill do some digging around to see what I can learn about them. Thanks ~S~

Alright, it's time to prepare for  _AH_ Racing Summer League 2010!

For starters, I'd like to start off by thanking you all for the honor of hosting this season's racing. I hope to make this the best one yet.

To get this started, I would like to see some feedback on what you would like to see this year. Additionally, I would like to get an idea of what planeset to use. And finally, I'd like to get some brand new racetracks for the season. If you have some budding interest in making a track, feel free to let me know, and I'll get it added to the track roster.

I'll start off reviewing (and possibly updating/fixing) some of the classic tracks from yesteryear, and we'll see what we can use to start the year. :)
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_taldrg on March 12, 2010, 05:57:33 PM
~S~ Dev. My 2 cents. A track that is flat...a figure 8...4 or 5 hangers, side by side, to fly through..a wide bridge span to fly under and 5 carriers side by side for the first one to trap and not crash is the winner.     :lol
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on March 14, 2010, 10:58:19 PM
S~.  I prefer planes  with props that do not use auto pitch, have wep that is not tied to the throttle ( the ones that let you enable or disable the wep  and don't auto enable the wep when you get to 100% throttle), and do not have auto radiators.   The more engine management choices there are, the more strategy is needed.

I also prefer tracks that have very few straights. Turns are where the pilot skill  makes the difference.


  Dev, Here is a link to some tracks I found. I think some are from 08, some from 09, and some might not be quite race ready..  http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%5E_Racing.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%5E_Racing.zip)

2010  Aces High Racing League Rules


1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of ten races each featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week. NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "Invulnerability" set to "On. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is referring to the area from the start line to the end of the first turn.   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise. Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one. No points will be awarded to a crashed pilot no matter what position they were occupying at the end of the race. Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized. A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> Points for each heat will be awarded as follows:
1st Place: 15 pts
2nd Place: 12 pts
3rd Place: 9 pts
4th Place: 6 pts
Finishing a race in lower than 4th position: 3 pts
Crashing: 0 pts

11> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

12> This racing league will be subject to the wishes and decisions of the Aces High command staff. Rules may be changed, modified, or nullified at their discretion without prior warning.

13> All races will be set up on a starting grid like the one listed below:

(http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/4/30/1890540//Placement.jpg)

This can be as narrow as a row of two, or as wide as a row of 14, depending on the track. All racers will line up in reverse order by ranking for the first head (last goes first, first goes last), and by the reverse of the prior race's results for following heats (DNFs go first, by reverse placement to last). This should both help rookies get a better head start, and to also cut down on accidents and collisions on takeoff.

Planes so far:

P-38L
I-16
Lerche



And yes, I'll make the short track for you. In fact, I have an idea for it. :)

Alright, I've been given the green light to start the next racing season officially starting for March the 27th! The track will be announced tomorrow.

Additionally, there will be a practice/warmup race tomorrow, for those wanting to get into the groove.

Planes specified so far:
F9F Panther
ME-410D
P-38L
I-16
Lerche
F6F
F4U
P-51

If you have any tracks that you want to submit, please e-mail them to thelegacy@gmail.com. Once I make the final list for aircraft, I will post them so that way you skin designers can get to work.  (6) On the Lerche suggestion, I'm not 100% sure how we can do that, considering the height limitations of tracks, and the inherent difficulty of parking them. I'll try to work on it, but I can't guarantee it'll work.

Planes so far:
F9F Panther
ME-410D
P-38L
I-16
Lerche - *
F6F
F4U
P-51
Tempest

* - Pending on how we could make a race that can start relatively normally with it. :thinking-008:

Don't forget that a warmup/introduction (following regular racing rules) is set up for tonight, at 8PM EST / 7PM CT / 6PM MT / 5PM PT! It will also have all the planes for the season inside it, though we will only be flying one for the practice. The reason for this is for you guys to get used to them, and to skin them!  :cool:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Deviant on March 20, 2010, 11:24:18 PM
PRELIMINARY PLANES LISTING:

F4U-1D Corsair
F6F-5 Hellcat
F9F-2 Panther
Fw-190 D-5 1945
I-16 Type 28
Ki-46-III Recce 'Dinah'
Me-410D Hornisse
Mosquito B Mk. XVI
P-38L Late
P-51D-20NA
Sea Fury Mk I
Tempest Mk V

Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time seeing how we would line up a Lerche race, so today's practice run will be a test to see if it's feasable to use. If not, I will have a replacement.

It was a link problem. Try it now.

On the topic of start time, we don't seem to get a whole lot on until 9PM, and as I don't want to preempt Friday Saturday Night Fights, I'd like to make it 8:30PM. 8:00PM may also work.

Post by: _AH_Jack on March 22, 2010, 09:34:05 PM
I'd suggest 9:00 EST, which occurs at the top of the hour and gives the left coast'rs time to get home & maybe eat some dinner before racing.   Friday night Fights takes place on Friday.  This past Saturday was fun, but wasn't planned on till' Friday night.

First of all, I wanted to apologise for the mess of the last race, and the delay for the posting of the standings. I considered writing off the race, but there were some well flown heats, so I will count them. I've been trying new concepts for racing this year to try to find more interesting ways to do races. If there is any concepts you may like, please feel free to let me know, and if there are any concepts you want scrapped, please also tell me that too.

Secondly, I wanted to add that I saw a breach of protocol during the race, and I want to remind you all that all respawns are forbidden during the race, and especially respawning and rejoining the race. In future incidents, I will be giving penalty points to the pilots in question.

And finally, we've started doing 9PM starts, but I wanted to know if you would prefer 9:00PM, 8:30PM, or 8:00PM EST starts. Too early, and I find too few racers on, and too late I'm seeing unhappy pilots as this cuts into co-op time. I get votes for both, but I need to know for next week ASAP.

Post by: _AH_Deviant on April 18, 2010, 06:48:57 AM
Due to overwhelming demand, racing will again start at 8PM starting this 24th of April. On a side note, this week's racing was fantastic, and perhaps among the most intense ever flown. Kudos to Foxbat for accurately counting laps, in which the 5, 10 and 20 lap heats were well flown by all.

Statistics for the races and a judgement for heat 2 will be determined sometime this week. Also, I've been asked this a lot. The tracks will be linked into this thread, generally with the stats of the prior race. (6)
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_taldrg on April 18, 2010, 11:56:04 PM
~S~ Racers. This not a complaint just wondering if it can be fixed. When one plane colides with another while in flight and one plane crashes and is out of that race why does the other plane not crash also? The damage to the other plane should make it un-flyable and out of the race as well. I think( but am not sure) but at the top of the screen when this happens it will read,'_AH_****downs_AH_**** or something like that. Therefore _AH_***(the downe should also be out of that race)my thoughts only.

Post by: _AH_Deviant on April 19, 2010, 04:30:31 AM
It's unfortunately a part of racing, and really it's a combination of luck, speed, position, and heading on whether or not either plane crashes because of that. For example, I got bumped by Gonzo on the big downward turn, and it threw me into the ground because I was taking the turn very aggressively. However, there are bumps that can take both pilots out, and there are bumps that don't take out either pilot.

I will say this though; please watch for other pilots, and call out if you're overtaking someone. The person passing needs to watch where the other plane is, because most pilots are too busy trying to fly the line.

On a side, it's really too bad you didn't race the rest. It was a lot of fun.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Deviant on April 19, 2010, 06:10:12 AM
As stated prior, next race will be hosted at 8PM. Also, this has to be, by far, my most favorite race, bar none. It was intense, it was fun, and it was challenging. Yet, there were comparatively less DNF's than other hard tracks.

Heat 3 stats will be updated in this post soon, as will next week's track.

DNF:

Autorotate

None

Heat 2 (10 Laps):
Note: After careful review, it was determined that in fact ten laps were completed, and that two racers DID finish this race. Congratulations to Gonzo and Ring! And, seems I was right after all about 25% for 10 laps. And here I was thinking I was going to earn a Gomer. (tongue)

I sent Dev the results of race 5 about 10 days ago.  I did not keep them or i would have posted them here.

I am sure he will post them and do the season standing soon.  Once he does i will continue to post results and season updated scores

The reason for the postponement is because I want to get an extra set of tracks ready, because I've been running behind schedule for weeks. I'd rather sacrifice a week so everyone gets a good chance to practice the track, than to release the tracks last minute, bug ridden.

Post by: _AH_Gonzo on May 19, 2010, 09:30:57 PM
Dev, Arch, no argument from my end. I was just curious to see if I should spend more time practicing a track then in the paint shop polishing up a bird  (6)

You guys do what you have to do, and thanks for all the effort in keeping the racing alive.

Will post a few pics of the I-153 I had prepped for last weeks race in a day or so. I might not have made it to the starting line, but by golly, I sure made sitting on the bench look good!  :happy-112:

To: _AH_Jack,  I have a good track ready to go all it needs is uploaded so that all who want can practice. I can also host the race on saturday night since I have no life outside of work and IL2 anyhow.
So contact me and let me know to either send or upload it or to just shut my pie hole.....
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Deviant on June 19, 2010, 10:40:23 PM
Due to circumstances outside of my control (going on stress leave from work after a mental breakdown, which has led to me being forced to look for a new job while maintaining my current one until then),  I'm going to have to call this season early. As we're almost finished the season anyway, it's probably a good time.

There will be a final race tonight. This will effectively mean that there will be NO practice track for this race. No one - including me, will get the chance to practice, save for the one hour warmup. This is an old track, "Pull my Finger" (also known as "Hell on Earth II"), so for those with experience should recognise it.

Because the track I was intending on building was never completed (it was to have been the Biathalon, hense why I initially chose the Mosquito), we will instead fly the P-51D-20NA, as we have flown it once already this season, it's a well known plane, and I know that skins have already been made for it.

If someone wishes to run race 10 with the Mosquito, I am willing to pass the reigns to them.

In any case, today will be my last for me running this season. If there are insufficient numbers to race, the race will be canceled with no postponement date, and the final tallies from race 8 will be the final totals, unless a volunteer steps forward to take over in my place.

S~.  After taking a season off from administering the races, I feel comfortable coming back as a racing admin for the next season, if no one objects, and/ or unless some one else would like to do it.

Archie was a big help to Dev this season with the recorded track reviews, and I am hoping to receive the same type of assistance in the upcoming season which I'm tentatively planning for a mid August launch.  The timing should allow us to complete the mid year race season before the real life busyness of the fall and winter holidays.

I know that I made a mess of things this season, and not to toot my own horn, but a thank you on the forums would have been greatly appreciated for the effort I put into it. (http://forums.leasticoulddo.com/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I had constant criticisms this season, and from what I remember only one person stepped up to help on a regular basis, and that was Archie, and I thank him for that.

For those that thanked me on vent, and for the occasional assistance with testing concepts, and especially Archie for helping out with the tracks, Foxbat for his announcing and observational assistance during races, and Hells Angels 50 for his track submissions and constructive ideas, I appreciate it. And TD, I know that I was keeping things too short notice for you to prepare for, and I know you tried from all the forum posts you made, so thanks for keeping with it.

Ultimately, I was highly disappointed in the squad as a whole and how it treated both this event and me personally. I'm under a lot of stress these days, and for those who criticize me (either vocally or by intentionally dropping out from participation after the first few races after hinting at their disatisfaction of how I handled things) without offering to step in to help made me just want to walk away from it, which ultimately I had to. This is not aimed at those who just participated and had fun, or those who helped out, but those who did nothing but complain. It's the first time since I started that I hosted an event. I was looking for more optimism and pats on the back, not added stress to my life. I had to take two weeks off work for stress leave, after my nervous breakdown (and I really don't want to get into detail on that).

I'm not going to call out names on this, but those who are guilty of this should know it, and those who feel they did nothing wrong, should feel confident that they didn't, and I will leave it at that. I'm not going to start a fight over this, but I hope this will instead bring in more appreciation for what those in our squad do to make the game more enjoyable.

I may do this again in the future, by preparing the full season in advance. However, my faith in the family that I've known in over the past 5+ years has been shattered. Here's my challenge to you: Prove it to me and yourselves that we're the best squad in IL-2, and that our bond is beyond just the game we play. I have enough stresses in my life, and I've started ruthlessly cutting them out of my life. I don't want this to be one of them, by a long shot. I grew up here, which says something.

And congratulations for a season well done Gonzo. Well earned.  :drinking-43:

The Mid Year 2010 Racing Season will open this coming Saturday, Aug. 21 at 5 pm, PDT.  Practice track will be open an hour before the race begins for those that didn't have a chance to practice during the week.

You can download the practice track for Race 1 here: http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Mid%202010%20Races/AH%201021%20Tanks%20A%20Lot.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Mid%202010%20Races/AH%201021%20Tanks%20A%20Lot.zip)

What's new for the Mid Year Season.

Reduced the minimum number of racers needed to make a race official to 5.
Reduced the minimum number of racers colliding ( in a single incident before the first turn) needed to call for a restart to 3.  

We will continue to use the two improvements implemented by Deviant in the last season.
1. Use of the Start Script.. Starts will be automated and given in Text, as they were last season since the "Go" being called over voice comms lags more for some than others and causes uneven starts.
2. The Starting Grid will be Staggered as that greatly lessens the likelyhood of Collisions at the start.
    Good call on those last season, Dev.

  Another night of good clean racing.  I didn't see any planes bumping each other even though there were plenty of planes close to each other in lots of the turns.  I may have missed seeing a bump or two.. but from what i saw, very sporting season so far. Good communication when passing, and lots  of guys running just a little wide in the corners when they know they're in traffic.. Well done.

Sorry about the DQ's..  but both DQ's were for multiple instances of being well above the markers.

  There will be no official race this weekend as it is a Holiday weekend here in the states.. The  next  race where points will be awarded and count towards this season's standings will be on Saturday Sept.  11 at  5pm PDT.   Practice track will be posted next weekend. 

HA_50  has generously offered to host a race for the Holiday weekend so you can keep your racing skills sharp. (  No Season points will be awarded for the Holiday Weekend race.)

S~..  I'm using Jack's old ram in this one.. and his old system board and cpu.. With that,  I  put together the rest of my current machine using parts  from only 5 other old ones.  I especially like the case for this one. It still proudly displays  the P2 sticker on the front. And I try not to look at the rust on the corners.


If you want, you can send the track files to me. I can upload them to my sky drive and post a link to them. That's where i upload  the tracks anyway.

Laps: 1,2,3

Start Time:  5 pm PDT. Sept. 11.

 Special Note:  The Finish line on this track is NOT the Starting Line.   The Finish line is on the West side of the Airfield, at a right angle to the Starting Line.  

As you complete a lap, and come around to the airfield.. Head West to the finish line, or Turn North to run another lap.  

I've placed red markers along the center of the track.. when you get back to the airfield, follow the red and white markers to  the finish line. Keep following the red only markers to continue for another lap.
Please ask me if you have any questions..

It's Race Day!

 This one is a fast,  twisty, hilly track.  If ya haven't had a chance to run some practice laps you'll want to run some at happy hour this afternoon before the race.

Happy hour starts at 4 pm PDT... Buy one lap, get one free!  
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Moby on September 11, 2010, 08:27:49 PM
It's against the law to offer free laps at happy hour.... all laps must be paid at fair market price or at a loss to the merchandiser, but not for free.  To offer free laps would be contrary to the Lap Licence Act and subject to applicable legislative sanctions, charges or compellable proceedings.   Sheesh......    :unhappy-059:

S~, Silly Canadidian Mounties.. we've been giving free laps to the local authorities since i can remember,  and they're quite on board with the whole free laps at happy hour for everyone else thing, as long as they get theirs whenever they are on duty in our area.

S~.  Great fun last night in Race #4.. Good turn out.. Thanks for comin out and having a go at the Twister Track.  

 If you Liked race 4, you should like race 5..  Practice track is available Here:

http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%201025%20New%20Guinea%20Race.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%201025%20New%20Guinea%20Race.zip)


Track: New Guinea
Plane: I-185
Laps: 2,3,4

This track is a little longer than the Twister track, and well.. twistier really.. but since there are no hills, the "too high" rule will be in full effect - on accounta there aren't any hills.. The last two  tracks had hills and the going a little  high over the top of the hill allowance was taken full advantage of ...since this track is flat, the only exception will be if you get bumped and it throws you directly up too high.


And here are the results of  Race #4 .... Nice flying,  Gonzo... a clean sweep with 3 First places.. I think we're supposed to throw hats or  a turkey or an octopus  onto the runway or into your propeller or  something like that..

A pretty good night of Racing, once again... Some unfortunate DNF's and a Couple of DQ's this time though.

 The practice track for Race 6 is available here:

Track: Blackout Downs.
Plane: LA7
Laps: 2,3,4
Practice is recommended always, and even more so for this one. It's not a particularly difficult track, but there is a hairpin turn that you'll want to know about.  

And.. here are the results from last night's  race. I don't have confirmation of these results yet, so they may change.

There was a change made to the 3rd heat...

and all Scores are now correct.. or at least they should be barring any mathematical errors i may have made..

The change that was made was a DQ was added to the 3rd race.. Sorry Olds.. on the initial straght way, after taking off, you  flew too high...

  The next race, Race 7, will be on Oct. 16 at 5 pm Pacific Time.  Practice track will be made available for Download at least a week in advance of race day. 

And the results of Race 6 are in, and have been confirmed... The Black Out Downs track, designed by _AH_Archie proved to be a challenge for all the racers..surprisingly very few collisions for the tight turns on that one... nice flying guys.

Here is the Practice Track for Race #7, scheduled for 5 pm Pacific time, on Oct, 16.  


http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%201027%20Logo.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%201027%20Logo.zip)

This is a very Flat and Fast Track.  As always, on the tracks with no hills, the "Too High Rule" will be strictly enforced. Keeping any part of your plane below the tops of the towers will keep you in bounds.

Track:  AH Logo ... designed by _AH_Deviant.. If you look at it from above, you can see it spells AH.
Plane: KI84 C.
Laps:2,3,4

On this track, you will spawn in your start locations, so there will be no staggering of the starting positions.  Tail wheel lock is highly recommended.
Also, You will need to release your chocks.

Since we had a week off from racing last weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to post a reminder earlier than on race day morning..

We have a race scheduled for this Saturday, the 16th, at 5 pm Pacific Time.

Practice track will be open an hour prior to race time. It's the AH Logo Track, available for DL and practice in my previous post in this thread.

~S~ ALL. I think it is an insult to BBQ who is a past C.O. of AH and does a lot in the tech. dept. for all of us and works to put up the race tracks and only 4 pilots show their respect and show up. That just ain't right. Either take a vote and tell him you do not want racing so at least he would know. Don't just not show up and leave him hanging out there all alone. This has happened two weeks in a row. Just sayin'.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on October 18, 2010, 08:24:07 PM
S~.

Thanks for the support, TD.. but racing has always been one of those 'if enough people show up for it,  we'll do it' activities.  And the week before last was a scheduled non race weekend.  There were several of us that knew we wouldn't be able to be there for that one, so we scheduled that as a  non race weekend.

   Real life always comes first, and that can be unpredictable. So I expect at least one or two races to be postponed each season due to having not enough racers when it's race time. It's always been that way since we started racing. It doesn't really bother me at all when it happens.

   Racing is meant to be a fun way to learn how to get that extra little bit of performance out of a plane. But for the most part, it's a rather small group that actually have any interest in racing planes.  And one of the benefits of having a smaller rather than larger group is the that it makes it easier to be more flexible about scheduling.

The Mid Year 2010 Season of Racing has reached its conclusion with a total of 29 out of 30 heats run. The one missed heat was due to technical glitch in heat 1 of the 6th race, and time constraints precluded a restart.     

Lots of fun and excitement marked the season with some of our closest finishes ever.
Thanks to all that participated and put on a great display of skill and sportsmanship.
  There was a LOT of  tight racing and very few collisions which made for tons of fun on the tracks.

S~ Racers.  


The 2011 Racing Season is about to Start! 

As always, Race days are Saturdays, and start at 8 pm EDT so as not to interfere with prime time missions, currently that would be the FNF's..     And the track will be open for warm up laps about an hour before Race time.

The practice track for race one will be Posted and made available for Download Tomorrow so you'll have a week to familiarize yourself with the track and plane.  

In order to make the racing season even more fun than it has been in the past, as if that's possible, the scoring system will be modified slightly. Details to be announced prior to Race 1.

Also, for the skinners, who's work is always appreciated, the planes that will be used will be announced 2 weeks ahead of the race to give them more time to work their magic.. except for the first race ( obviously.. because I just thought of it.)

SO.. for Race 1.. It will be the Sea Fury Mk. I  '47  ( at least I'm pretty sure it's the Mk. I.. it's the 47 for sure)
 and for Race 2.. It will be the I-185 M82  

Link to the practice track for Race 1  will be posted in this thread tomorrow.

Here is the practice track for the Season Opener of the 2011 AH Racing Season.

http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%201111%20Twister.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/AH%201111%20Twister.zip)

Track: Twister
Plane: Sea Fury
Laps: 2,3,4

A Familiar track that's often used to open the season featuring a fast plane with a good roll rate and manual control of prop pitch, boost, and radiator. 

The amount of fuel you take is up to you.
Stay below the Tops of the towers. Some leniency will be given at the top of the first hill, but you must be below the tops of the towers before you get to the bottom of the hill. 
If you take off and turn right, you're going backwards around the track.
Good luck and have fun.

The Season got off to an exciting start with a good turnout as 10 racers took to the starting grid.


The tracks I recorded last night for reviewing and scoring the heats  are a bit floopy. I see planes zooming underwater, off course, upside down, and sideways. So the posting of the official finishing positions will be delayed. But not to worry, we have a second set of recorded tracks to use, I just don't have them yet..  Results of Race 1 will be posted in this thread  as soon as I've had a chance to verify them.

In the meantime, the practice track for Race 2 is available for download here:

http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/1112%20New%20Guinea%20Race.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/1112%20New%20Guinea%20Race.zip)

No hills on this track, but lots of turns.  

Track: New Guinea
Plane: I 185 M82
Laps: 2,3,4

Race 2 will be on Apr. 16 at 5 pm PDT.
Track will be open for warm up laps about an hour before the start of the race.

The plane for Race 3 is the Swordfish.  I expect this will be one of the slowest races in AH history. Practice track for Race 3 will be posted in one week.  

And  a short note about why we race...

AH originally started racing as a way to provide a fun way to learn about energy conservation when flying. It's one of the most important things to understand when dogfighting.  Maintain your E and you'll eventually get the advantage over your opponent when in a dogfight.  
So even if you're not running up front while racing, you're still learning about how to keep your speed while turning, and how to get those extra few mph out of your plane.  
Racing is a way to offer some fun and challenging stick time to learn about E without having to worry about being shot down.  The more you race, the more you'll learn about how to best maintain your E with trim,  coordinated  turns ( matching how much rudder to use with the amount of ailerons you're using), and managing your engine.

I was hoping to have them done before the meeting, but that's not happening.. so I will get to them this evening after flying.. usually takes me a couple of hours.. so they'll be posted very late sometime tonight.

And... the first race results are in! (Finally)..  remember we are using a scoring system for this season that's slightly tweaked from the previous seasons.. more points for longer races, less spread between first, second, and third, and differing points down to 10th place. The exact points per position/race is posted previously in this thread..  also, those that  DQ  or DNF receive a point.  And because DQ and DNF score equally, they will no longer be differentiated on the scoreboard..

S~  Nice screen shot, Archie.

Gatlingun, Try flying at the top of the chimneys. If you go off course, you can easily get over the top, circle back around and go on from there. After a couple of laps like that, you'll be able to fly down inside them.

And there are lots of us 'experienced' racers that don't make a full lap at times..  just takes a little practice, and I'm sure you'll have it figured out.

Here is the link to the Practice Track for Race #3..  and possibly the slowest race ever in AH history.

 http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/1113%20The%20Beaver.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/1113%20The%20Beaver.zip)

Slow doesn't mean boring though..  The Plane and Track combination should offer some interesting challenges for the racers.



Track: The Beaver
Plane: Swordfish
Laps: 2, 3, 4
Small hills.  

Races will start at 8 pm EDT on Apr. 23.
Practice track will be open for online warm up laps about an hour before the race.

Plane for Race #4 : Mosquito B Mk XVI

It was a tough night of racing for the 11 race pilots that started. A tight starting grid, a twisty track, and a plane that needed to be wrestled into the turns made for more than the  usual number of difficulties getting around to the finish line, but it made up for it with more laughs than a  keep it full throttle and hope the other guy makes a mistake track.

Here's the practice track for Race #7.

http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/1117%20Tanks%20A%20Lot.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/1117%20Tanks%20A%20Lot.zip)

Flat track so Above the markers rules will be strictly enforced.  

 Track: Tanks a Lot
Plane: Huckabein  Ta 183   ( jet)
Laps: 1,2,3

Flat and fast.  There are a couple of turns that will cause black outs if you're going too fast.  

Still working on the results of the last race..  Mostly because there were several guys that after flying  all the way around to the finish line, for no reason, pulled up before they crossed the finish line.. which should DQ them.
Since it was such a difficult track, and it was announced that too high rules would be loosened because of the difficult nature of the course..  It seems a bit harsh after they managed to get through the difficult sections, then in the only flat part of the course, flew too high for no reason for the last 5 seconds or less..
So far what i'm considering is pushing them back to  finishing behind the guys that did cross the finish line ...actually two places behind.. effectively giving them more points than they would get for a DQ. but not full points as if they finished without errors.  What this does is give the guys that did complete the race properly their deserved points, and then  rather than 1 point for guys that finished but for some unknown reason pulled up before the finish line, they would get a few more than that..but not full points..
If there are no objections, I'll go that way.. please let me know if you think this is unfair, or if you have a better solution.. if I get no responses, I'll just go ahead with the way i was thinking.  Results will be posted tomorrow..  

   you can post your opinion here, or PM me.

S~   It was a wild night of racing once again.  Surprisingly few planes bumping in the air.. even though we are having another really clean season of racing and bumping has been rare, I was expecting to see more bumping than usual this race for some reason.  Maybe it was the black outs reducing the number of planes racing?  
Good racing, all..   Lots of guys moved around in the season point standings..


Next week there will be no race because of the holiday.. racing will resume the week after.

Practice track for race #8 will be posted on the holiday weekend.

And here are the results and standings.

No results to post from last night's race yet. But in the meantime, Here's the practice track for Race 10.


http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/111X%20Dogfight.zip (http://cid-e03b9451bd4b6b4e.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/111X%20Dogfight.zip)


Track: Dogfight Track
Plane: I 153
Laps: 1, 2, 3

  This is a track originally built by Deviant.  I've done a lot of editing to it, but haven't changed the layout of the track at all.   
  Lots of hills and curves.  I 153 has  a gravity fed carb, so it's easy to stall pushing over the top of some of the hills.   

Should make for a good final race of the season.  Seems there should be lots of opportunities to pass other planes on this track.

I placed some fuel storage tanks on the track to show where the invisible trees are. 
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on June 13, 2011, 04:30:42 AM
BB this is going to be tough with no rudder or elevator trim on this plane. It wants to push up hard, your right its going to make for lots of passing and crashes. Heck some of the left handed turns you don't even need to use elevators lol. Nice job BB love the track.

S~  I finally got some time to add up the points for Race # 9..

Lots of fun with the last race.. It was a little unnerving with the straight line dirt bike racing type start.. but once things got sorted after the first couple of turns, there was some really tight clean racing.. some of the closest ever..

 

Practice track ten is available ( link in a previous post).. should be quite the spectacticle if we have as many on the course as we did last week.. even if we don't, I think it's the kind of track that'll  get some  laughs going.  Reminds me a little of the What's My Line Track, but not quite as challenging, maybe more places to pass, and with the gravity fed carbs in the I 153's... kind of unpredictable.

S~

Another Season of Racing has come to an end, and hopefully all who participated had as much fun as I did.   

Seems we had a good number of racers for every race this time around, and even with as many planes as there were on the track, there were less crashes than in previous seasons. This isn't to say that it might not have seemed that way at times as I think we were all at some point bumped and jostled, but we know that's bound to happen once in a while when you're flying sometimes inches away from other planes. 
Was rewarding to see the high level of sportsmanship as we all were feeling quite competitive and none of us was immune to having a disappointing night on the track.  I think that level of gamesmanship and the really good in close tight flying made this season one that I think I'll remember for a long time to come.   
Thanks to all that came out, even if it was just one night, was glad to see guys that have not tried it before come onto the track and have a go at it. And thanks to those that flew as many races as they did.  The new points system seemed to work well since we had quite a few guys racing for season standing positions right down to the last race.    Might tweak it just a little more for the next season to try and keep the point standings even closer. 

And here are the results for last nights final race, and the Season Totals.

I thought a couple screen shots from last night would be worthwhile, too....For those that haven't been to the races.. Here's what they tend to look like..

Five planes coming around a turn at the top of the first hill.

Those same five planes about 1 minute  and 5 turns later , starting to climb another hill and shuffling for position while trying to find the line that will  get them past each other.

Congrats to Archie and BBQ, but a special mention goes out to all the guys who threw their hat in the ring... most of them ended up on the podium at one point or another. Heck, just completing a race on some of the tracks is a feat in itself! Well done all and thanks to all for their sportsmanship making it so much fun.

I stand and Salute you BBGHead for a job well done, for going above and beyond the call of duty. You could have just kept the tracks the same with out putting out that extra effort AH Racing would not be as much fun or exhilarating. Anf for your Second place this season well done Sir.

I stand and Salute you Archie for the completion of this seasons racing as champ and for the kindness you show other pilots, the willingness to teach and improve thier racing ability even if it means one day you will be over thrown as champ. 

Gonzo I aint talking to you for taking third, Oh all right I stand and Salute you for your outstanding racing abilities, and for the colorful paints you bring to the track.

WELL DONE RACERS. ~S~ Too all for a job well done.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on June 21, 2011, 03:09:42 PM
S~ Thanks for the thankssessesss..and you're more than welcome, but I really must insist that you allow me to thank you because no matter what I did, if it wasn't for every one showing up and flying,  there wouldn't be a racing season.  You guys made it work as well as it did. THe lack of complaining about being bumped and the laughs we had this season is thanks enough for me.
  I enjoy the competitive nature of racing, as long as it remains good natured and in the spirit of fly hard, but remember it's all for the fun of it while learning a little something about managing E, managing your engine, and learning exactly how close you can fly to other planes. Which is the what we did. Keeping it fun is the key to keeping the number of racers flying each week as high as we did. I especially liked how many different names managed to make it onto the podium this season. Good Stuff.
  What I do for racing is just a drop in the bucket compared to what some of the other guys in the squad do for AH. I've built one or two race tracks. We used race tracks built by at least 5 different people this season, then there are the guys that build the coop and dogfight maps, the guys that run and keep campaign scores - ground kills, air kills, safe landings, KIA's,etc., the guys that paint planes for us, the guys that help when we have technical problems, what HQ does to keep us all going in the same direction, and all of the other miscellaneous things that are done to make AH what it is.
I mentioned it at the meeting, but for the guys that weren't there, Archie  helped me a lot this season with recording and reviewing tracks, and verifying the finishing orders, and of course the hardest and least enjoyable part of racing..verifying the DQ's.  Thanks again, Archie. Your assistance was more helpful than you know.
Congrats to all that raced. Thanks again for showing up and keeping it fun, and we'll start racing again around mid September.

S~ Racing Fans! 

Mid September is here, and it's time to race again.  Hopefully we'll have as much if not more fun than we had last season, and maybe even more racers.

The first race will be this Saturday, Sep. 17  at our usual time of 5 pm PDT, with the practice track open about an hour before race time for some on line warm up laps.

Same rules and protocols as last season. Points will be the same with one minor change. Any DNF or DQ will be awarded 2 points. That's DOUBLE points for not finishing.. pretty great, huh?

Here's a link to the practice track so you can learn the track and plane.

Once you've clicked the link, click on 11M1The Beaver.zip. Save, then unzip the folder and place both files inside a Folder in your Missions/net/dogfight folder.

Track: The Beaver
Plane: F6
Laps: 2,3,4

It's the same tight track we flew the Swordfish on last season. The F6 brings a whole new set of challenges to it.

  I've got the scoring done, but it took much longer than usual and I have jury duty today so I won't be able to post anything until later tonight.

Just call for some  :help2: if you need it Sir. I can eval some of the races. I have the tracks for the last two and will continue recording if you need the help. Judging and making the next track has to be time consuming. You take your time Sir.

Thanks, Lippy.. I think I'll take you up on that offer this weekend.. I need some one to record tracks, and then help out with the review..

I got out of Jury duty early today.   They called 100 of us up for 1 case.. only need 14 people out of that 100, and they tossed me pretty much right off the bat.. woo hoo for creepy staring at the lawyers..

Race 2 turned out to be quite the hootenanny.. Lots of good racing  on the Up and Down track and those rocket engines offered lots of strateeegery options.  And a couple new racers to the season.. always fun to have more guys on the track..  AND.. AH racing's closest finish ever! In the 3rd heat with 50 and Archie crossing the finish line side by each with the difference between first and second being hardly more than the spinner.. took me a freakin HOUR to look at that one from every angle until I could  be certain of who won..
Great Racing, everyone.

It is very clear that i crossed the red finish line well in front of Mr. 50






I do not know what kind of payments were made but i would have doubled them

Track: Roller Coaster
Plane: Bf109G-14
Laps: 2,3,4

Just like the name implies, a hilly and twisty track.  Look for the course markers on both sides of the track where you go from a downward angle to an upward angle to avoid a DQ for flying too high at the bottom of a hill.

Just for the record, I was NOT in Archie's hanger last night with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. The fact that numerous nuts and bolts were found on the hanger floor and damage was found on Archie's plane is sheer coincidence. Probably the act of a vengeful God or something like that.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Here the impious mob of the torturers, unsated with innocent blood, fomented

Here is the practice track for Race 7, Oct. 29 at 5 pm PDT.   Practice track will be open about an hour before for online warm up laps.
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E&id=E03B9451BD4B6B4E%21878 (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E&id=E03B9451BD4B6B4E%21878)

Track: New Guinea Race.
Plane: FW190 A9 '44
Laps: 1,3,4

It's a little like the Blackout  Downs course, except there are no hills at all. Flat as a pancake. 
Please note the change in the number of laps for the first heat.

  And some might remember racing on this track before, but it's been edited for the 2011 fall season. Some of the race poles marking the corners have been moved back slightly from the track so there are fewer wires sticking into the trackway, and an extra turn has been added.

I was just watching some of the tracks of the new guinea race... awesome. The 2nd heat for 3 laps was exceptional. Those up front were having a great race neck and neck all the way  ,,,, I had to run it several times  just to see different perspectives. Back a little in the race ... olds and zulu and myself were runing close together the entire way.... BBQ might have a look at a wobble and near out of bounds when I collided with one of the steel towers... I think I stayed inbounds but of course I will abide with your decision... it was a hard save but I think I stayed by a hair. the rest of the race olds and Z50 and myself swapped postions and it was almost a photo finish. If I  was out of bounds my congradulations to Z and Olds....lol... was my favorite of all the races.  Lippy was a streak along with BBQ and Archie... and do not ever count out HA50 who almost stole lippys hard run..... exciting stuff this racing... now I need to go take my heart meds... Gnite!! :surprised-027:

S~

Was another night of top notch racing.  I was just watching the tracks I have, too.  Unfortunately, my tracks are slewing around again. But from what I could see, there was a lot of tight racing. If you can, Nipples, send me the tracks you have.  All of it will be closely reviewed, and if you were in bounds, great, if not, well, that happens sometimes.  Nice job grabbing the first place in the first heat, btw.
  The sportsmanship displayed by all this season is what's making it one of the most competitive seasons  I've ever been a part of. It's always frustrating to get bumped,  and I don't think anyone hasn't been bumped out of a race already. But it's obvious that everyone out there is doing their best to make clean passes and avoid each other. Great stuff.

I just need the track of the 2nd heat, but feel free to send both. They are in the Records folder. 

Each .ntrk file in there is a recorded track.  Not sure if you named them or not. If you didn't, they'll be named something like Quick000.ntrk, and Quick001.ntrk.

Thanks.

Race 8 will be run on what it arguably the most challenging of all the tracks we race on.  It also has a somewhat unique characteristic in that the finish line is perpendicular to the start line.  When you line up for the start, you can see it over your left shoulder.  Other than that, it's long with lots of hills, LOTS of hills, turns on the sides of hills, and one crossover, also on a hill. 
The practice track is available here:
 https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E&id=E03B9451BD4B6B4E%21878 (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E&id=E03B9451BD4B6B4E%21878)

Track: What's My Line
Plane: KI-84-1b '44
Laps: 1,2,3

Race will be run on Saturday Nov. 5 at 5 pm Pacific Time. Track will be open about an hour before the race for online warm up laps.

  I've uploaded a couple of clips from the racing.  Still working out the best way to do it. The one I just did is a little fuzzy and looks really bad in full screen mode. The audio needs some more work, too. I want to add some narration during the clip so they make more sense.  But I wanted to see how the software I was using was going to look before I put more time into it. I've got some other video editing software I'm going to try next, and will probably take this one down once the next one is up.

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E&id=E03B9451BD4B6B4E%21878

Track: Dogfight
Plane: I-153
Laps: 1,2,3

If you raced the final race of last season you'll recognize it, and probably be cussing under your breath just a bit.... but at the same time be looking forward to the challenge? 
It's a narrow twisting hilly course and a plane with a gravity fed fuel system.  Keep it running and you just might end up on the podium.

  It has been another exciting season and some of the best racing I've had the privilege to be a part of. It was truly gentleman's racing this season. It was obvious everyone was making a lot of effort to race as cleanly as they could, and a sincere thank you to everyone that raced for the sportsmanship exhibited throughout the entire season. 
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.  We'll start racing again in a few months.. I'm thinking sometime around March.
Congrats to all for making this season what it was.

I think it's finally here.. Sorry about the delay.. 

Here is the link to Race 1 of the 2012 Season.

https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=e03b9451bd4b6b4e&resid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!892&parid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!613



The first race of the season will be flown on April 14th. Saturday.. at our usual time of 8 pm EDT.  Practice track open for online warm up about an hour before that, as usual.

Race 1 file name is something like 121CrisXcross.  It should come up in the game as 121CrissCross2. or something like that..

It's a short, flat, and fast track with several crossovers.. as the name implies..  Should be a fun one to get the season started. 

The Plane is a Seafire. The Seafire F IIc, Merlin-50, 1942 is how it shows in the game, but i seem to recall it being named something slightly different in the plane list.

Since it's a fairly short track, we'll fly more laps than usual.. first heat, 3 laps.. 2nd heat, 4 laps, 3rd Heat, 5 laps.

The usual starting grid markers weren't showing up so pairs of campfires were used..  You'll see.. the banner type starting grid markers we've used in the past were below the surface of the runways, making them invisible.. had to use something we could see.. campfires worked. 

Good luck, Have fun, race hard.. Don't #$$%%^$% crash into me.  (tongue)

Ok just ran the track and have a MARKING request for you BBQ, there are two corners that when at full speed could be confused whether you go left or right. Because you could fly both directions. Could you add a few more red markers on the water to give a earlier indication of which way you direct your flight. I see this being a problem when 10 planes are in a corner and fighting. We dont want to see Viper coming headon at us agian this season :lol-034:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 01, 2012, 01:49:28 PM

Ok.. I'll add more markers and post the remarked track this coming Saturday.. That will still give a week to see the track as it will be when we race it.. I don't like to make any changes too close to race day, but since we'll still be a week away on Saturday, all good for that one. 

Just an FYI.. The bomb targets  that I used for general direction arrows (that aren't in the intersections) are mostly for reference when some one has gone our of bounds and circled back to rejoin the race. It  makes it a little easier to come back into the course and be headed in the right direction with those. They aren't meant to really be much help in showing you a turn is coming when you're on course. 

And on a different topic.. I was just kidding about the crashing into me in my previous post. I was honestly very pleased with the amount of care everyone took last season when trying to pass. More than pleased really.. maybe impressed is more accurate.  There are going to be a few wrecks no matter how hard we try to avoid them.   All we can do is try as best we can to keep them to a minimum and remember why we race, you know other than bragging rights for doing well - It's to have fun while we learn a little something about managing that E.

I see four "Seafire F IIc"s in my game, including a "Seafire F IIc Merlin-50, 1942" just as BB said. Are you asking about skin folder? The skin folder for that paticular a/c would be "SeafireMkII50".

As Requested, the same track with more markers at the intersections.  No pylons have been moved, or any other changes made.. just more markers at the intersections.. and a new name..  "R2"  has been added to both the file name and the name of the mission, indicating Revision 2.

Here's the link:

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on April 09, 2012, 01:04:25 PM
S~

The files need to be inside of a folder in the dogfight folder.   There are two ways to put them in so you can't see them.  1. Put them directly into the Dogfight folder without a folder containing them.. and 2.  Have them inside a folder that's inside a folder that in the Dogfight folder..  Look in your dogfight folder, and see where the other missions that are showing up are..  then either put the two downloaded and extracted files for the race in that folder with other mission files... or create a new folder and name it something like "Racing" and put the two files in there. 

For instance inside my dogfight folder are several other folders, Folder 1, Folder 2, Folder 3, Folder 4, Pacific fighters.. and  a couple that I've added.. one of which I named "Races".     I put the files for the races,  ( can you guess where?)  That's right!  in the "Races"  folder ( but i could have just put them in any of the other folders as long as i remember which one.)   

Once I start the game and go to create the room.. after being sure I'm launching a "dogfight" I select the "Races" folder, then I can click on the race map that I want. 

So  remember, the files need to be  inside of a folder inside the Dogfight Folder.
If the files are not in a folder, or buried  inside  too many folders inside of folders - and you won't see the files/ map in the game. Computers are fussy that way.

Great Season opener, guys. Was extra fun racing with the HA guys again. And Welcome, CPS  to AH racing. Doesn't feel right referring to any one as new since everyone had obviously been around racing before judging by how fast they were.   With any luck  some, or all, of the CPS that raced last night, had as much fun as I did and will be back for more.

  Just an fyi for those that offered to email their recorded tracks of last night's festivities,  mine seem to be pretty good. Good enough to use for reviewing anyway.  Thanks for offering, but for today I'm ok using the ones I have and shouldn't need yours this time around.   

Scoring will be posted and the next Race Course will be made available for download some time later today.. probably late afternoon.. maybe this evening..   as soon as I can get it all done and ready.. got a few real life things to fit in today, too.

Just waiting on verification of the scoring from the other guys that also review the tracks.. Scores will be posted later today.. but didn't want to keep you waiting for the practice track.

We'll be flying the Twister track in the Lagg 5.

And the results are in!

It was a great night of racing last night with a total of 15 racers participating.  Hope to see everyone, and maybe even more, for next week's race.  As usual, we have 10 races total, each comprised of 3 heats, to make 1 season.

This Season's scoring system is a lot like last season's with one small change. And I also want to mention one other thing that has never come up.

And since we have racers that are not familiar with AH race scoring, all of it is explained below, then the scores for last night's race are shown.   

The one small change is this: If a racer Does Not Finish all three heats of a race, that racer will be awarded 1 bonus point for sportsmanship and hanging in there for all 3 heats that night since we know how frustrating it is to not finish a heat.   

The 2nd item I want to mention, not really a change, but wanted to have it explained before it does come up is this:

Since DNF's ( Did Not Finish's) are awarded 2 points no matter which heat, and Finishers are awarded points in a descending fashion, it seems possible to have a finisher being awarded 2 or 1 points if enough people finish any given heat.

That would obviously be unfair..

So the way it works is this: For the 1st heat, the lowest possible points for finishing is  4, 2nd heat's lowest points is 5, and the 3rd heat's lowest points is 6.


Scoring for finishers is this:


1st heat

1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 10
4th -  9
5th -  8
6th -  7
7th -  6
8th -  5
9th -  4   
10th - 4
11th - 4
etc..- 4

2nd heat

1st - 16
2nd - 13
3rd - 11
4th - 10
5th -  9
6th -  8
7th -  7
8th -  6
9th -  5   
10th - 5
11th - 5
etc..- 5


3rd heat

1st - 17
2nd - 14
3rd - 12
4th - 11
5th - 10
6th -  9
7th -  8
8th -  7
9th -  6   
10th - 6
11th - 6
etc..- 6

Here is the link to the Practice Track for Race # 3.

https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=e03b9451bd4b6b4e&resid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!898&parid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!892&authkey=!AJjexQiPFYmCr9c

To be flown  April 28 at 8 pm EDT.
Track should be open for warm up laps about an hour before race time.

Track :  Roller Coaster
Plane: Hurricane Mk1a 12 lbs  1940  ( might show up in your aircraft folders as Hurricane Mk1b)
Laps: 2,3,4 
Hilly and lots of turns with a gravity fed carb and manual WEP.   

This track has markers on only one side in some parts. In those areas, the out of bounds for too high is a perpendicular line from the top of the  pylon.  If there are markers on both sides of the track, it a line from the top of one to the top of the other. 
There are a couple canyons that have no pylons marking the track, so stay in the canyons where there are no markers.  Also, in the canyons you will see 'bridges' ( lifted runways), you must fly under the bridges in those canyons. 

And, here are the results from Race # 2, and the Season Standings.  (please check your scores and totals and let me know if you have any questions or corrections. )

Another great night of racing.  Good to see so many coming out and having at it.  Thanks for showing up, racing well,  and making it even more fun.  Really good to see how much care is being taken when passing, too. (Yea, there were a few bumps and rubs, but I see lots of  tight, clean racing when I'm watching the recorded tracks.)    Good luck in Race #3, All.

The only change I made to the track is the plane and   I  added starting grid markers, no stacks were added.

Last year I added a few Aloha towers  on the left side just before the first uphill section, but no new added stacks or towers this time.

There was a lot of really clean passing. guys moving over to give room and waiting for a better place to pass, instead of trying to force it.. and of course a few bumps here and there.. some of that is just unavoidable. Even with the cockpit turned off, there are still blind spots.   
We had our first couple of DQ's for flying too high this season. Sorry, guys.. but you were definitely above the markers at the bottom of the first hill making that left turn.
Great racing, all. 
Jets for race 4 should be rather challenging.. and  Yes, the Sabre does have air brakes.  Look for the usual starting grid markers.. pretty much ignore the campfires.  They are the old starting markers. I didn't bother to remove them.

I will not be able to be at the race tonight, so please send me the recorded tracks so that I can verify the results.

  I had sent the starter script to Ghostbear, so he might have it installed and set up to run.

Here's a link to a zipped up copy of the starter script.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=e03b9451bd4b6b4e&resid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!900&parid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!892&authkey=!ALiFy-Bv0qIIxPU
   In the read me are the install instructions and a how to about using it..   Or if no one is there that can run a start script, just do it the old fashioned way.. on comms.. 3,2,1, Go!.. 

If there are at least 5 people present, the race should be run.  ( we've always had a minimum required number of racers to make a race official.)

Good luck, Have fun..   Post here, or email me if you've downloaded the starter script but have questions, and i'll either try to answer here, or try to get on vent with you.  I should be around until about noon EDT, and will check periodically for requests..  it's easy to install. and run.. ( but it won't run offline - there's needs to be some one else in the game with you in order to see it)

Scoring will be delayed. I've gotten the tracks, and the results from Lippy and Archie, but I'm super busy with my new work schedule, and race # 4 turned out to be a little different than the usual race.. I'm working up a few different ways of scoring it, and will probably be posting a poll about which seems to be the most fair, which is always the idea when scoring, but before I post any scores, I'll give detailed explanations of a couple of different ways it can be done, and rather than just say 'This is how we're going to score it this time",  I want some feedback on what everyone thinks.  I don't like making changes or exceptions to rules either last minute, or retro actively, but again, in the spirit of keeping it fun and fair, it might be the way to go this time.. I'll let you know when I've had   time to go through it all, and written out what I'm thinking might work.. then we'll reach a decision together..

In the meantime.. here's the practice track for next week...
https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=e03b9451bd4b6b4e&resid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!901&parid=E03B9451BD4B6B4E!892&authkey=!ACrz-OOEUrRt-as

Ta 152 H   
on the Black Out Downs Course..  fast with a few  tricky turn combinations, some long straights, and a few hills.. this one is always an interesting and fun race..
Laps: 2,3,4

We'll figure out what's happening with the scoring sometime this week, definitely before the next race is run..

My resigning from the race admin position is because my new work schedule is not leaving me the time required to properly do the job. Not because any one person voiced their opinion.  And it doesn't mean racing is cancelled.   

Maybe this explanation of why I was considering a scoring adjustment for this race will help create some understanding of why I suggested it.

I consider most of the guys that show up for racing on a regular basis to be above average at it.

And when I decide on a track and plane combination for a race, I think of it as a skills test. So I try to pair a plane and track that will be seen as an interesting challenge to those that like to race.

It's always been my belief that if a test is given to a any group people with above average skills, and a high percentage of them perform poorly on that test, then there's something wrong with the test.
 
So, after seeing the number of DQ's reported in the last race, my thinking was that I made a mistake pairing that plane with that track,  and wanted to try and correct my error by possibly adjusting the scores.

At the same time, I didn't want to act like a dictator and say.. here's the adjusted scoring, because I think it's better this way..So was going to ask all racers to vote on what they thought would be the most fair way to go about it.
 
The poll I was going to put up would have included at least two choices, and probably three -the first  of which would have been, No Adjustment.. 
  The second choice would have used a rule we've used before and everyone seemed think was fair..(you might remember a race from a few seasons ago) When several racers pulled up and out of the track short of the finish line.. We agreed to not DQ them, but place them behind all racers who didn't pull up. I don't recall exactly all of the position changes, but I think at least one racer went from a 6th or 7th place finish to a 3rd or 4th place.. and the three or four planes that pulled up early, were moved back in the finishing order by as many planes as there were behind them that did finish, and minused 2 points  from there.. seemed to be quite reasonable, and everyone was ok with it. And the guys that did finish without an infraction got their correct finishing positions and points..
   And I was thinking there might be a third option, which i hadn't worked out the details for as of yet.. but was thinking I might be able to figure out another way to correct my mistake.

That's all I wanted to do. Correct what I perceived as my mistake. I'd rather hear everyone's opinions, especially when it's something some one thinks is wrong, or unfair, so it can be addressed,  than have that person not say anything and stop participating.

  Where it stands now, Archie has offered to take over as head racing admin.
  I'll be as available as I can be to help him settle into the racing office. Both Archie and Lippy have been helping me the past couple of seasons, so are plenty familiar with what to do. 
I'll still race if I'm not at work on Saturdays.. but sadly those might be few and far between for a while.

BBQ

This is only my third racing season and I don't remember ever voicing a complaint. I always leave the scoring to whoever keeps track of the race and accept it as fair and honest. I can only speak for myself and I know I will try things in a race that I would not normally do simply because I am in competition with not only the course but other people as well. As far as this last race is concerned,I did have a couple of thoughts that I haven't shared with anyone. I felt that we had to fly too low for the speeds that we were flying and I wasn't sure which way to turn a couple of times but that's just the way it is,it is a challenge and we either accept it or we don't. As far as the scoring is concerned I will accept whatever is decided on. I just enjoy the challenge and the competition and the fellowship with all the guys. I am sure there are others that will keep the racing going and will do an excellent job but I think you have done a great job and have always been very fair and honest with the scoring. Anyway,that's my two cents.

TD even though I have tried to treat you with all of the respect due to you for what you have done with your life. I will comment on what is surely meant as an attack on me. Since I am the only not AH posting here. Your comment is as out of place as you saying the Japanese were due the tidal wave for the attacks in 1941. Dont worry I wont bother to fly or post here any longer. Please delete my profile asap.   And I still think it's absurd to change rules after the event.  I will allway's stand my ground...

   Ok, this is getting a bit out of hand. There's no reason for the uproar. 50 had a valid concern about the scoring, and simply stated his opinion. No one should be getting on him about having done so.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't the only one that thought  tinkering with the scoring after the fact wasn't the best idea. 
  I like to think the guys from AH that race were doing a wait and see what I come up with before saying they didn't like it, because they've known me longer, and trust that I would ask if any of the solutions I came up with are viable before saying "this is how it's gonna be", because that's what I've always done. 
  That's how we've always managed racing, by consensus. Each opinion counts equally - guests and members alike. And we have one person to make the final decision and then take the blame when things don't work. I volunteered, and  this situation is my doing, no one else's.

Had I realized sooner that my new work arrangement was interfering with my being able to stay on top of the races, all of this wouldn't be happening.
To everyone I sincerely apologize for the problems and the state of things this race season. You have no idea how badly I feel about what's happened knowing it's completely my fault, or maybe you do. At any rate, I'm doing what I can to rectify the problems I've caused. I understand your frustration with me and the situation I've created and feel like guys are taking their anger at me, and redirecting it at each other. So please understand that when I see negative comments here, it just reminds me that I've screwed things up, so it's not helping me, or helping in any way at all really. This will be sorted before the next race, and then hopefully we'll be able to put it behind us, and carry on.           
As stated in my previous post, Archie has generously taken over as the race admin, and things will be back to our normal, light hearted, let's just have fun and race the hell out of each other type of racing in short order.

I've deleted your profile as you requested, 50. But if you should change your mind, as far as I'm concerned, you're more than welcome to fly with us anytime.

This whole snaffuuu... is absurd.....we were having a great racing season with other squads participating , the competition was excellent and we all were having great amounts of fun and thrills.  I truely dont know how or when this all started.... but I find that as adults .... mature adults... that we need to mellow out and resume as we were two weeks ago. I may not be the best racer here... or even a good one but Ive found that the combined comeradery was heart warming , great skins, great competition, great people...... that goes for CPS, HA.... all... AH...... so why let this grumbling ruin what we had???? WHY.... ya know if I finish last in the standings I would of still had alot of fun getting there and thats a fact.  Every week I plot how to beat lippy... and 50.... and ghostbear and fraggman.. and BBQ... oh yeah... and archie..srry arch.... and the enjoyment  is outstanding... the comradery......  this year we had the most participants ever.... so lets get on with it..... and TD.... you should race too... we all are part of the whole race season..and I know we can all get along just fine...so lets make the best season ever ....Comon guys  ...its up to US!! :surprised-in-shower-006: .... now Im headed to the shower.

S~   

Race 4 turned out to be a lot more difficult not only to fly, but to review also.   Sorry for the delay in scoring, and  the mess.   
As it turns out, try as I might to adjust the scoring , there was just no way I could come up with that worked.  We've made exceptions in the past for a specific heat, but trying to use that same kind of thing and apply it to all three heats just wasn't possible.   
I hope it was at least fun to fly it.. and at least there was a finisher for each heat. I seem to recall one heat in AH history that no one finished.  Anyone else remember that one?  I'm thinking Lippy might.   :surprised-027:   

Here's how Race 4  ended up:

      ****Race 4 Results****

Link to the next practice track was posted previously.. you might have to scroll back through a few  posts to get to it, but it's there.. Look for the TA 152(?) as the plane,  and Black Out Downs  for the course.  Should be lots less of a fiasticle than I made of the last one.  And, please welcome  Archie as this season's Racing Admin.

I truely hope u will be able to join in the racing also...new job...new place... alot going on my friend, but I thank  you for your time and effort.

BB would Sundays work for you, I dont think a single racer would hesitate to move racing to Sundays to have you in the races but me. YOUR Just to dam good  :happy-112: Besides we used to race just before FNF anyways. Just a thought

Lippys right, it was good clean racing and you and archie and ghostbear showed some real skill in getting the upmost from their planes and engines ............ which just  goes to show that the rest of us need  an equalizer......so Ive added anvils instead of tail wheels to your planes.... lol :bomb-034:

They are coming out tomorrow to repair the line for my connection sorry guys it kicked me out every time i tried to get on comms. Archie the number of laps per heat needs to be specified and how in the heck are we going to taxi and let alone take off the rear wheel wont go straight and the pull to the right is over powering. this will be the most entertaining race yet
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Archie on May 17, 2012, 01:34:51 AM
Tail wheel does not lock right away but it does lock.  I see the brief saying 2laps 3Laps and 4laps.  This the same track we ran last year.  The only change i made was adding 3 starting panels.   Can anyone else who loaded the map let me know if you can see the brief.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_gatlingun on May 17, 2012, 03:30:54 AM

Yes I can see the brief,it is 2 laps,3 laps and 4 laps. The tail wheel does lock and there is no problem on take-off.

I never let anyone see me in my briefs :lol.......yes Archie.... the brief for the race is readable and quite clear... tee hee...and I have sneaked upon your plane and replaced the tail wheel with  an anvil :happy-112:
the tail wheel does lock for take off...just make sure u lock it in straight postiion,,,,, taxiing is a little difficult Lippy but if u attach an anvil instead of a tail wheel you wont have any problems.... :lol-029:  the ground is very bumpy , but go slow and u can line up just fine    the line up should be a real challenge eh pilots??? (wavey)  and the laps are stated in the brief.... 2....3....4    GO GO GO

Something I must say. I do not pretend to be in charge but since i have commented on this rule, I need to clarify something. If you go out of bounds you must make an attempt to renter where you exited. In the past couple of races, some said they where lost and unsure of where the violation occurred. I have stated to enter as close to where you exited is fine. Sometimes it is hard to judge exactly where you exited/out of bounds, and I can only speak for my judging I would not DQ that person. But the key word was attempt you must turn around and enter in the area of the violation or be disqualified for the heat. I try to to be as fair as I can, but I will no longer make this statement, I think it has caused some confusion on the rule. For that I do apologize, from now on i will allow the moderator to comment on the rules.

Those holes are incredible even better in person. The Philippines are full of old relics, seen 4 12in guns at an old fort with some pretty impressive indentations/holes in the skin of each gun and in some old cells I imagine held Philippine prisoners.

Practice, practice, practice   :lol :i-m-with-stupid-0101:

This track is known to eat planes alive with the treacherous hills, hidden turns, fast down hills, drooling long laps and last BUT BY NO MEANS LAST the finish line IS NOT THE START LINE (this is the track BBQ was talking about when the judging was modified) PAY ATTENTION, There will be no QUARTER GIVEN. When topping the hills YOU must make all attempts to be in BOUNDS AT THE BOTTOM. There for the Heats will be as follow.
Heat I 1 lap
heat II 2 laps
Heat III 3 Laps

and the plane J2M5 1944

Gentlemen the competition has been tough, clean and tons of fun. You better have your game faces on this Saturday because at 1700 PST its time to Kick the Tires and lite the fires cause its RACING TIME!!!!!!!! (wavey) May the best plane WIN.

A Little Racing Story:  This last saturday i was in Vancouver at Ghostbears house..... visiting for the first time with our good friend and first place racer. Ghostbear and his daughter were very gracious hosts and his daughter fixes a darn good cup of coffee......... race 1  ghostbear was flawless.... winning handily..... race 2.... ghostbear wins again flawlessly.... race 3...... 3rd lap..... we had been discussing how much speed he carried over  "the hill" ... trust  me I am very familiar with "over the hill".....   conversation went as follows:   Ghost  .... if i carry my speed through here I can top the hill at 300kmh...... Nimble wow... thats really fast.... Ghost: crap.... Im only getting 270 over the hill this lap......Nimble ... maybe your engine is a bit warm?  Ghost: nope... Ive tested it and I had it cooled down.. should be able to go all out rest of the race.. Nimble.. whats your speed now?????.... Ghost... as he looks down to check his actual speed.....nope Im doing 300 kmh..........ohhhhhhhh $h1t!!!!!!!!!! CRASH BAM BOOOM....    .... Nimble:: ohhh man Im sorry Ghost...didnt mean to distract you...... :surprised-027:............I think I am 86ed from visiting ghostbear during racing.......... forever lol.............. moral of the story.... once an AH always an AH..... (wavey)........and to my friend Ghost bear.... I am sorry.... :sad-056:

 :lol Your always welcome at my place Nimble. It wasn't your fault. I crashed in that same spot in practice a least 10 times, and always for the same reason, Looking down to check my speed. But I have some even better news for Archie and Lippy. Their going to have a chance to close the point gap. I have a Golf tournament this next Saturday so i wont be able to race. Knowing how well the two of them fly, it should make it very tight in the total points. It's all going to all come down to the last race of the season. Good luck and don't clip any pylons Guys.

This is a well liked track with a fast aircraft. It is flat as a pancake with some gnarly corners, so hang onto your belts cause you will need them in this track. Buckle up and let the good times roll.
The track is AH-Logo and we will fly the LA-7R
Heat I 2 laps
Heat II 3 laps
Heat III 4 laps
50 bucks to the flyer who takes out Ghost and Archie both in all 3 Heats :lol. See ya on Saturday  :surprised-027:

Well Gents the first race is in the bag CPS_FraggMan has figured out the issue it is a Trojan that has attached itself to the HyperLobby. The results are posted Congrats to Archie for the clean racing and taking first as expected well done MATE. Here is the link to next weeks race. It is my favorite track LOGO. We will be lining up even with each other so it makes for an interesting first left hand turn. The final turn is very tricky, figure out your marks for the turn and you will be successful. The plane we will be flying is the German Do-335 V-13 1946. Have Fun and well done to all of you. There was a question on how many people make for a official race and I find nothing that supports my 5 racer minimum so it is4 as Archie suggested. I bleieve it was 5 but BB later lowered it to 4. So 4 it is.  Iam yaking sugestions for the following weeks plane, it will be a jet so give your suggestions.~S~

No way I can fly this airplane,too slow,too heavy. I use 10% fuel,take off flaps and full runway and can get airborne but impossible to make that first turn.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on July 02, 2013, 04:43:46 PM
We have raced this plane on this track before it is difficult yes but that is racing. this is a multy engine aircraft you must start both engines and then select all engines or it is too slow. I just ran it I was 250 Kph before the end of the runway, more than enough speed to tack off. I will admit the first turn is tricky. Practice Practice  :give-me-beer-0034:

S! Lippy.  Thanks for the invite, but I've been given until July 31st to report back for active duty with AH.  I think I'll take as much time as I can until then, and will continue to fly my Islander until then in the Caribbean out of St. Maarten:

Well Gents our second race is in the bag,  and I did not think that the Do would be that hard of a plane for everyone. Sorry for the difficulty I will keep it in mind.
I will be more mindful of the difficulty level on the following races. Although I am experiencing difficulty with full mission builder. the results so far are as follow. I think I have the problem fixed and will post the track no later than tomorrow or tonight so check back. Race track is New Guinea, flat with some winding turns the plane is the German TA-183 number of laps are 2,3 and 4. This one is easy with a good stable jet should make up for the last race.

I will review and have a look and make the determination later when I get home before qual room is opened. ~S~ for your honesty I did not pay that close to you cause I knew u went out and turned around, i may have to review a bit closer.

Personally, I'm not a fan of IL-2 racing in general.  I'm not really attracted to it.  Air combat is more my interest when it comes to flying IL-2.  From what I've seen in the past, the Summer months, IL-2 drops in participation due to outdoor activities, vacations etc and picks back up in the Fall and Winter months.  Just my observation of this flight sim.

Racing season is canceled due to lack of interest. I know I probably should have had it in October which i will. October First Saturday starts the Fall Season. With me traveling, I wanted to get two seasons in. Anywho thanks for showing up and hopefully we can keep AH Air Racing alive. :drinking-43:

Sorry to see that the summer racing is cancelled. I've been working a new job and totally slammed on the weekends with around the house duties... Haven't spoken to Ghostbear in a while I will give him a call ASAP and report back. Last time I spoke to him he was his usual self with no issues from the surgery. Hope this post finds you all well. Looking to replace a lot of my simming gear to get ready for the new IL2 Sturmovik - Battle of Stalingrad coming out this holiday season.

~S~ Fellow racers, I am looking for suggestions on the day and time to hold raceing. I am trying to maximize the number of particapants. It was sugested by Jack to hold it on Wednesday, there appears to be a few AH members flying on Wed. I can for go my workout routine and host Practice at 2100 EST and racing at 2200 EST, which actually isnt a bad idea. So please place your sugestions here. I am considering the 2nd or 3rd week of October to start racing. Nimble wants to take a leave of absence and come up to Washington State, so in all fairness to him I will start after he returns home. Feel free gents.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on October 08, 2013, 03:45:15 AM
Before I type in the track and plane I think a review of the rules are in order, they are as follows. BBQ Archie if see something I missed please mention it.

1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of ten races each featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week.
NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "vulnerability" set to "Off. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will
be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other
participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is refering to the area from the start
line to the end of the first turn..   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the
like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise.
Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one. No points will be awarded to a crashed pilot no matter what position they were occupying at the end
of the race. Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized.
A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh
should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

11> Going out of bounds means at any one point in the race your aircraft breaches the hieght on the objects to eather side (draw a straight line across from one side the oposite side) if the downward wing tip
excededs this point EXCEPT when discussed before the race or more than half of the aircraft goes out side the sideways boundary you must exit and reenter at the point or close to it as humanly possible to avoid
gaining any advantage, if you do not exit and reenter it is grounds for a disqualification of that heat.

12> This racing league will be subject to the wishes and decisions of the Aces High command staff. Rules may be changed, modified, or nullified at their discretion without prior warning.

Points are as follows

1st heat
1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 10
4th -  9
5th -  8
6th -  7

etc..- 6
DNF - 2 points
DQ - 0

Ok the first race of this season will a fast but on a long track, I am having a hard time deciding if to run 1,2,&3 laps or 2,3,&4 laps. I think since we will not be rushed for time to end the nights racing in under 1 hour as in the past I am going to call it 2, 3, and 4 lap heats. I think it will be fun and a test of survival skills on this track. The track is Tanks A Lot with the KI-84 IIc a fast bird and very nimble one (no pun intended Nimble)  :lol If any objection to this please feel free we can always shorten the laps.
Again practice will open on the 16th a wed. night at 2100 EST 1800 PT ( no standard this time BB :lol )
The link for the track is here

I can fly either, but strongly prefer non expert  because we fly missions without expert mode on so there will be no benefit from whatever I learn about engine and E management from races flown in expert mode.

Good luck to all and lets have a good and fun season. While I was sitting on the tarrmack I placed extra wieght in Archie's plane and seperated his seams so he has more drag.  :happy-112:

The track is the Black Out Downs and the plane is the Tempest MK V Series 2 1945. This plane is fast, the track is medium sized, with two tricky turns and a long straight away, will be fast and hopefully as fun as last weeks race. Give me some time to judge the tracks and post the results. BB did I hear that Ghost was going to e-mail you the tracks for the forst race, if not have Nimble e-mail them to you. I only have 1 and 3. Nimble e-mail me race 2 please ah_lippy@hotmail.com. Thanks guys enjoy the track.

Well it took me a bit to get the results up. But here they are. Some fine racing, some smart racing BB, Olds well done, Jack I watched you closely. I think you are using rudder input in the turns. When I enter every turn my plane is 90 degrees, when you are not 90 your plane goes up and down dramatically losing air speed and control. When you are in a 90 your plane makes still some up and down motion but not as dramatic, to be smooth is too have airspeed, but otherwise your lines are good and steady well done sir. Something to think about.

Heat 1

1 Lippy 15
2 GhostBear 12
3 BBQ 10
4 DW 9
5 Nimble 8
6 Olds 7
7 jack 6
8 Gatlin 5

2 Olds 13
3 Jack 11

Heat 3

1 Lippy 17
2 BBQ 14
3 Ghost 12

7 Jack

DQ Gatlin outside of 6 towers 3 lap

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on October 23, 2013, 09:15:50 PM
Well i go wide in the third turn which is the left hand turn before the right handed one. If you notice there are four little fires as you approach the right handed turn as I get to the fourth one and all the way to the left I turn into the right handed turn. record a race and watch how we apex the turn. Like NASCAR does to mention a good picture of how to turn. You want to turn as straight as possible in the turn to lose the least amount of air speed it also helps to give you room to make the turn. I hope to be able to host the room tonight but if not Jack can you if BB isnt there tonight. I am up to installing HSFX 6 and hope to do it right.

Post by: _AH_Lippy on October 24, 2013, 02:46:21 PM
DW thats racing bumping and swapping paint is part of the glamour of racing. Now taking someone out is not. we can not always see everyone which is why it is asked to let those in front of you that you are taking thier line to pass. I would hope that the slower guy will respect the guy coming in to pass and try not to take the same line. The airspace in racing is limited but if one takes high and the other takes low there is plenty of room. I myself am trying to be more respectful and take a different line to pass the guy in front. It is nice to be out front and not worry about it  :lol.
Towards the end of racing last night I lost comms, I dont know if it is the headset, Vent or my USB. Nothing else went out so i hoping it is the headset. I will have all of HSFX DL and installed hopefully tonight to review the tracks. I ask any other racer that is reviewing the tracks to e-mail me with results of the race. The rules state we need three judges. That intails reviewing each individual racer and verify that he did not go out of bounds, and completed the number of laps. Please I need help with this. I do not want to be the only badguy here. last race I did not recieve any other reviews. This takes alot of time to judge, and I also need to make the following weeks tracks. I should have uploaded the next track but forgot to before reformatting on Sunday. ~S~
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on October 24, 2013, 07:53:04 PM
Yeah that bump could have been avoided. The first race night when I was'nt sure where people were I would go low and say so. It's easy when you are on a straight and someone says they are passing you, but once you get into corners and you're swapping back and forth and you loose sight of the guy it's hard to know if you've become the passer or are still the guy getting passed. In retrospect I should have gone low.

As for the judging, did you arrange for 2 other people to do it before hand? Did people agree to do it and just not do it?

Judging is simple, record your track. Then as you review write down who finishes first to last, keeping in mind that out of bounds constitutes a DQ, and then e-mail me the results at ah_lippy@hotmail.com. I will then compare your findings with Nimbles/ Ghost and post the results.

Here is next weeks track it is the Hills racing track with the MiG 17 on wed. Oct 30th at 2100 EDT for practice and heat 1 is at 2200 EDT . This is a real fast track but you will get caught with black outs so be careful and mindful of the next turn. Remember if you don't see any pillars/pylons to the left it means you can take the turn wide just be inside the very next pylons. This takes memory to remember where the pylons are at. Should be fun Hopefully i have no further issues if I do its off the repair shop. ~S~

1 = 2 lap
2 = 3 laps
3 = 4 laps

it seems we have been finishing on time so the length of the laps shouldn't be a problem.
The brief is in the DL and should only have the MiG in it to choose from. I think I remember everything else. I will review last nights tracks this weekend and make my posting no later than Sunday night.

Oh crap I guess I was in a hurry I was up late getting things fixed and forgot the link sorry guys I will fix it as soon as I get home. Be around 5:30 Ghost tonight. Hey Ghost I didnt know you had access will you judge the tracks for me and get them to me by Saturday Night so i can review them on Sunday. Nimble if you can too and as a back up DW so he can learn how to judge. That way if someone cant make it we have enough peeps to judge fairly. Last posting I didnt have anyones input.
I may be taking my computer into the shop my mouse cut out last night. I then practiced for an hour and half with no issues so I dont know. I will swap out the mousse and see if that the issue. But I am leaning towards MB issues.

Maybe its in the MB or something hell I dont know. I wont be there for racing on Wed. I am sure the shop will keep it for a week or two. So I am down hard. I will check in from work but as far as mking more tracks this weeks track is it. I am so angry at this thing I cant bare to think, I need, I need a Bro Hug. ~S~  :help-sos-sos-29402:

Post by: _AH_Lippy on October 28, 2013, 09:50:35 PM
Up you the exec branch to make the decision if I had my say I would postpon, but this could take weeks to get me up and running. the only other option is to have someone stand in my place. I dont want to ruin anyone elses fun just because I am haveing trouble. BBQ could grab and old race from with in this thread and run it in my stead. Ghost, DW, and Nimble are judging so thatis covered just need some that can add up the points and post the results. It would seem easier to postpon but this is the second time and we have a good turn out and i dont want to ruin it. It sucks yes but I have already missed one race. this will probably be the second and may even be a third I have no idea when i will get it back. i will talk to them tonight and post tomorrow morning on what is expected.
I can not judge any races from here nor can I make any tracks from this PC I am at work and there are to many security issues to even think about doin anything here. I could possibly post the results during my lunch hour. But that is all I can do. Just send the result through here in My Messages and i can get to them. ~S~

It seems that the MB I bought is wearing out prematuraly. He will run the tests for me today and I should know more no later than the end of the day Tomorrow.  :help-sos-sos-29402:

 :happy-112: We had some heavy winds last night and the power went out for about three hours so I was unable to judge the tracks. I will get it done tonight and post the next track. It will be the german long winged bird the TA not sure which track yet but I have one in mind. The track that you turn left down hill turn right it is fast and long so engine and fuel management will be key. I will look into remodifying the brief this time, since I was so kindly instructed on how to do it. Look for the track to be up before 2100 EST tonight. With the smoth gameing I had Wed. night I think it was the Smart Technoligy software that came with the x-52. I am hoping I have no further issues.

Well I went and did the big no no, I changed my mind (that is if I have one I would)  :help2: We are racing the Twister this coming Wednesday. The aircraft is the Seafire F III 1943. She is a little sluggish in the turns, but not as fast as some of the planes of the past few weeks. The twister is a fairly easy track there is one hill that we will be a little easy on going out of bounds on, but that's it. Sorry I am late but as everyone knows I have had some puter issues. The race results will be in shortly.

You DNF if you had completed the laps and not turned around you would have been. Look I can be harder and I don't think that is the answer.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on November 11, 2013, 08:40:52 PM
Hmm, well I clearly continued on for 3/4 of a lap before I DNF'd so there was certainly no attempt to circle around and re-enter the track to make it legal. It's just with the difference between DQ and DNF being 2 points I don't want to be getting something I did'nt deserve. It's a similar situation to that question I asked you when judging the Tempest races. If there's a DQ then a DNF does the DQ stick cause it happened first? This situation is a little different cause the DNF did not happen right after the DQ.

That's how it's always done?

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on November 12, 2013, 03:43:17 AM
BBQ advised me against being easy on the rules and You where right DW the Highest infraction that occurs should be the one that stands, also I should have considered your win in the placement of a tie. Here is the proper judgement BY THE BOOK which will be from now on, that way there isn't any confusion (the only leniency is when topping a hill you HAVE to be BELOW the marker at the BOTTOM of the hill) I looked very closely to everyone's starts. It was apparent that a few racers where getting a quicker jump on most. So I compared when the letters "GO GO GO" appear on the script and froze the frame and if you had a glow in the pipes I considered that a jump on the start. (I positioned myself outside and directly behind the aircraft). On my start I could see my throttle position.

Heat 1

1 Archie - 15
2 Ghost - 12
3 BBQ - 10

DNF - DW 2

DQ - Jack due to Re spawning during the race
DQ - Lippy jumping the gun. At the time the letters "GO GO GO" appear I am at 74% throttle

Heat 2

1 Ghost - 16
2 Lippy - 13
3 Archie  11
4 Jack  - 10 - Warning Racing without nav lights and wing tip smoke ON will result in a DQ your next infraction

DQ - BBQ too high at the bottom of the first hill (rule is to be below the first marker at the bottom of the hill)
DQ - DW cutting a corner without turning around (you must exit the race track and turn around and reenter at the point of where the out of bounds occurred or as close as humanly possible)

Heat 3

1 Ghost - 17

DNF Lippy, Archie, Jack 2 ea

DQ - BBQ too high above the marker at the bottom of the first hill. (rule is to be below the first marker at the bottom of the hill)
DQ - DW to high at the bottom of the valley of the trees. (rule is to be below the first marker at the bottom of the hill)

The track is Roller Coaster with the German TA 152H she is a long wing span and is very difficult to turn on the ground. She is fast and with a very good roll rate with the wings and the speed should be fun. Same heats and laps as it has been. I will review the tracks later this weekend and post the results before FNF on Sunday. Practice starts at 2100 EST and racing at 2200 EST See on the track ~S~  :surprised-041:

OK you race fanatics that was some of the closest racing as of yet. Fast and furious to the end, with some weird surprises discovered. Well that was half way point and Ghost has a the lead without looking at the results.
The next track is flat and winding, should be fun it is the New Guinea track with a plane I haven't raced in AH yet. The BF-109K-14. She is nimble in the turns and fast, should be interesting.

Heat 1 - 3 laps
Heat 2 - 4 laps
Heat 3 - 5 laps

That's right I extended the laps on this one just to mix it up. I cant seem to edit the description with out having to rewrite the hole thing, don't know how to get it to show under edit description. Anyway the brief will say 2 - 3 - 4 laps not 3 - 4 -5 laps

I forgot to mention that the race on the 27th is postponed one week. We will resume racing on Dec. 4th at 2100 EST for practice and the first heat at 2200 EST. With Nimble and BBQ gone it is only fair that we postpone it. GhostBear could stand to miss a few races so he dosent count.  :lol

I am sorry guys I have been so busy this weekend I was unable to review the races. I will do them tonight. I have a close friend she has gone thru breaking her back and the doc telling her she has a 50-50 chance of ever walking again and 5 days later her husband walks out on her. Now she has broken it off with her boyfriend and he left her in a bind so I have been pitching in to help her out. Any way enough of the excuses I will post the results tonight or no later than tomorrow night.  (kooky)

Yeah, the first race was the lesser of my high infractions for the three races, but I still definitely cleared a tower. I think I kept focusing on the towers at the right hand turn at the top of the hill and not the ones as we were going up the hill.

Post by: _AH_Lippy on November 26, 2013, 07:59:37 PM
DW I made that same mistake the first time I raced that track. So I do three things with each track. 1 take a lap slowly so I get to know the corners. 2 go as fast as i can with rad closed to burn it up. 3 run out of fuel. Ghost has suggested record your practice lapps and view them from above to see how you take the corners and where you make your mistakes not a bad idea. I was going to have BB look at it but if I question it BB will DQ it period so I have learned to just trust my gut. You over only one tower at different angle. if you looked at it straight across it was border line which is why I doubt if you where out.  :unhappy-059: We learn by our mistakes, you deffently dont need hints on where to get your speed. ~S~ Mate.

Here are my tracks from Dec 11. Man, alot of crazy recoveries last night from bumps and clipping pylons etc. One time going through the crossover during the second heat I could see as I approached it that there were guys comming around it ahead of me. So I looked right as I came into it and saw Jack. It's like the old adage "Look where you want to go", I ended up descending slightly and smacked em perfect. If I had'nt looked and stayed level I'd have split Jack and Lippy.

We are down to three more races, (this should be race #8) and the holidays are coming up on us real soon. I believe that another postponement is in order. Christmas night and New Years night fall on Wednesday. I don't know what to do for those days I recon I will bring it up on this Sunday at 1730 PST 2030 EST during the meeting and see if we should postpone race 9 and 10 till the Wed. after the Holidays.
This next track is a hard one to negotiate. This means its a survival track. Most times only a few pilots finish the race, and it is a long one. So the name of the track is What's My Line and the plane is the LA-7(3-20). This course is nothing but up and down, so watch your lines if you feel you went out go out and come back in 8 or 9 points is better than 2.

Heat 1 - 1 laps
Heat 2 - 2 laps

I will work on the finishing results Friday and Saturday and will have the next track ready on Wed.

HSFX7 is a bit different gas loads and overheat are different. Ghost and I ran a 3 lapper 60% fuel with radiator full open and he overheated a lot faster and for a longer time same setting was faster than him and I never overheated go figure that one out. We may have various outcomes guys  to the different heats. ~S~ BTW Map textures are better in HSFX7

Well Gents we had some  hard racing last Wednesday. I mean a lot of real good recoveries from collisions, a lot of out-of-bounds, all of us meeting up in turn one WOW and not to mention flat out crashes. I have been thinking of a racer all day and kind of felt bad so to cheer him up I thought about having a special race on the 8th of January. The track I decided on id the The Beaver, and yes BBQ you guessed the right plane the DH82A Tiger Moth. This bird flat out screams down the straight away, it is so fast I will be handing out speeding tickets.  :lol  BUT keep in mind the length of the wings as you enter the turns. The heats are as follows. Heat 1 - 2 Lapps, Heat 2 - 3 Lapps and Heat 3 - 4 Lapps
If for any reason you guys feel this a bit long of a race let me know before Dec. 25th and I will change it. I will host practice tracks each of the two Wednesday's that we have off. ~S~ remember to have fun. I will post the results as soon as the other Judges send me their results Ghost if you read this please Judge the races and send them via e-mail, and DW when you get a chance to send them to me that would be great.

So far all of the testing I have done my Headset Mute button has not turned itself on when launching the game off line. I will purchase a new headset if the problem continues.

Well done guys i think everyone enjoyed this race and it is the second time no one finished a race. Lets get ready for the fun that comes on Wed. it is a short track with a slow plane. We have always had fun with this track. I am open for suggested aircraft for the Logo track to finish the season. This is the track that is shape as AH and has a sharp turn just before the finish and is all over water, we flew the German DO (double prop one in front one in back, everyone hated that plane) last time. I was thinking maybe the I-185 it has speed and fuel economy but we have raced fast planes maybe something that isn't fast and is a difficult plane to fly or maybe a different track. Anyone that wants to be heard please speak up we have till Wed. to decide.

Man, I do not understand those Tiger Moths. During the 1st and 3rd heats my plane seemed to have no get up and go like I was down on power or something, but in the 3rd race I hung with BBQ and Ghost for some time. Very odd. The race starts were wierd too. I did'nt see anyone jumping the start, we appeared to all start moving at the same time but some guys had awesome acceleration. Jack was a freakin speed deamon getting up to speed. I wonder why that was, I wonder if you had to get that little tail skid off the ground as soon as humanly possible?

I am considering changeing the way we score the races. BBQ mentioned that he scored DNF and DQ no different, in other words regardless of DQ you would still recieve the 2 points. This will lessen the blow of being DQ'ed, I am also thinking of giving out more warnings than DQ's, like no Nav lights or wing tip smoke. I thought DQ was a bit strong for not flying with nav lights. The point of this is to have fun, and learn to controll your aircraft. If there are any objections, questions or concerns please lets start a discussion. Thanks guys

TD I am very aware of the fustration of the hazard that wing tip smoke creates. If I am not mistakin this rule was created to assist in scoring the races. It helps to see where the planes are or where they came from when reviewing the tracks. When reviewing the recorded tracks the game does not have a rewind button, so if you if dont catch a mistake right away you can back track the smoke trail to see if indeed the plane was or was not outside the track instead of watching the recording all over again. Going around and around watching each individuals plane is extremely stressful on the eyes, some cant judge due to the fact that it makes them sick. I wish there was another way TD it would make racing in the back easier. I hope this explains the reason for the smoke. ~S~ Good Question TD

I really wish there was a mod that we could install for racing that made wing tip smoke invisable to the individual only then it wouldnt be so much of a problem. I have a hard time racing in the rear. if I know I cant get up front I will drop back enough so that the smoke isnt trouble. ~S~

So I dont have anyone stating any other questions or concerns, even for the scoring of next season.

That seems like a good simplification.


Here's another possibility. Why not score DNFers/DQers in the finishing order based on the order in which they DNFed/DQed? Like if you have 8 pilots in a 2 lap race and Pilot A DNFs on the first lap and Pilot B DNFs on the second lap. Instead of both being scored with the same basic points, Pilot A would be scored in 8th place and Pilot B would be scored in 7th. It would give guys credit for getting farther through a race. In the case of two guys bumping and both wrecking at the same time, whoever ends up farther down the track and in bounds gets the higher position.

Your a NASCAR guy right Lippy? I was thinking it would be like that sorta. If a guy blows his engine on the first lap he's last place, 43rd. If the next guy to DNF crashes on lap 30 he's 42nd. As opposed to them both being given the same points they get whatever they get for 43rd and 42nd.

Correct NASCAR rules state that the damaged car must maintain Minimum speed. Those not becoming a wreck by being out on the track just for points or positions. Actually the Drive and Park guys will sometimes come out for a few laps just to gain a position.

I have two things to discuss. 1 Fraggman offered to give me his tracks he has created, is there any objections to us incorporating some of CPS tracks into the mix. 2 ghostBear asked if around 4 of us would like to actually race the Mig Track for filming. This would be a no holding back race for 2 Lapps and do it in 2-3 heats. I told him that Wed is booked till April 16 so if there are any takers we would need a day.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on April 02, 2014, 10:36:49 PM
Ok Guys AH Racing is about to begin so I thought I would post the first track a little early and give a run down of the rules once again.The racing League rules are as follows

1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of ten races each featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week.
NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "vulnerability" set to "Off. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will
be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other
participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is refering to the area from the start
line to the end of the first turn..   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the
like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise.
Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one. No points will be awarded to a crashed pilot no matter what position they were occupying at the end
of the race. Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized.
A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and at the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh
should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

11> Going out of bounds means at any one point in the race your aircraft breaches the height on the objects to eather side (draw a straight line across from one side the opposite side) if the downward wing tip
exceeds this point EXCEPT when discussed before the race or more than half of the aircraft goes out side the sideways boundary you must exit and reenter at the point or close to it as humanly possible to avoid
gaining any advantage, if you do not exit and reenter it is grounds for a disqualification of that heat.

12> This racing league will be subject to the wishes and decisions of the Aces High command staff. Rules may be changed, modified, or nullified at their discretion without prior warning.

Points are as follows

1st heat
1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 10
4th -  9
5th -  8
6th -  7
7th -  6
8th -  5
9th -  4   
10th - 4
11th - 4
etc..- 4
2nd heat
1st - 16
2nd - 13
3rd - 11
4th - 10
5th -  9
6th -  8
7th -  7
8th -  6
9th -  5   
10th - 5
11th - 5
etc..- 5
3rd heat
1st - 17
2nd - 14
3rd - 12
4th - 11
5th - 10
6th -  9
7th -  8
8th -  7
9th -  6   
10th - 6
11th - 6
etc..- 6
(This will be discussed at this Sunday's Meeting before declaring it official)
SCORING has changed just a little instead of DNF and DQ getting just 2 points and not receiving a position. The first person to crash, or DQ (due to going out of bounds without circling back) will get last place and the last to crash or DQ will get the position after the last man to cross the finish line. The plane with the most time in air will receive the best position in a manner of speaking. So if we have 10 racers on heat one 6 cross the finish line, #7 pranged his prop on take off, #8 went out of bounds lap 1 turn 1 and #9 crashed last turn on lap 1 and #10 crashed mid point of lap 2
#7 would come in 10th place #8 9th place, #9 8th place and #10 would get 7th place.
I know this looks confusing, but I am trying to award those that fly the most in the heat and give points to their perspective positions. If there are any questions please ask.

Now for our first track it is named Death trap and plane of choice is the P-38 L Late 1944. This track is name Death Trap for a good reason. make sure that you have the AIR BRAKE assigned to a button on the stick. There is one tight 90 (a bit more than 90 degrees) degree turn and one tight S turn. This should be entertaining and fun. ALL RIGHTY THEN. ~S~ Good Luck racers see you on the 16th for practice at 2100 EST and heat one starts at 2200 EST or 6 PDT and 7 PDT (I can feel the mistake in the time)  :happy-112: There is only one exception to be given when going down the one hill the first couple of pylons wont count towards a DQ BUT remember to be down before the bottom of the hill - DO NOT PUSH THIS ISSUE it isnt that hard of a hill.

Heat 1 - 2 laps
Heat 2 - 3 laps
heat 3 - 4 laps

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on April 03, 2014, 05:12:40 PM
You are correct DW rule 9 states
9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one. No points will be awarded to a crashed pilot no matter what position they were occupying at the end of the race. Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized. A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.
This rule nor does any other written rule state that you must be in the air when crossing the finish line to score a position. But we dont always just obey only written rules. The IDEA of Air Racing (while for the enjoyment of the game) is to learn to control your air craft both airodynamicaly and mechanicaly. With this in mind BBQ brought a good point last night. If we did not have vonurability turned off if you crash (tumble and roll or bounce off the ground) you would not survive. Belly landing is a controlled landing but once on the ground are you in controll of where the aircraft goes. We can WHAT IF this to death. If you land the aircraft and cross the finish line are you truly in controll of your aircraft. When in proper control of you aircraft both mechanicaly and airodynamicaly you will have a runnning engine and an air frame capable of crossing the finish line in the air. Nascar and other racing intitiies say as long as you cross the finish line whether upside down or not and you are the first to do so you win the race. There is a Air Racing leaque that race planes and I would like to know the ruling on landing and rolling across the finish line constitute a win.
I think crossing the finish line is up to the judges to determine if the pilot is in controll of his or hers aircraft. I can cut my fuel load by 10% and out run everyone and still run out of fuel and land the aircraft a roll across the finish line ahead of everyone, but is this in the spirit of Air Racing that we as AH Members want.
It is my Opinion that this should be evaluated on a case by case.

Invulnerability might mess up the notion of crossing the line in any state since it might be hard to judge the severity of a crash. Can you rip your gear off with invulnerability? No you can't eh, I remember now flipping the mig all over on the runway and continuing. That would'nt work then, if you still had to set the thing down without pranging it I think it would be viable but an invulnerable landing would be too easy I guess.

Excelent job TD, good to hear those two turns are tough ones work at it and you will get them. Good Luck Sir.
As for landing it would be a case by case issue. I did almost win a race by cutting my fuel load. I was supposed go full throttle on the third lap at the start line but went full throttle at the last turn and ran out of fuel at the last turn and didnt make it across the line I was feet short of it. It can be done if I had held off just a little more I would of won. That in mind it was before HSFX times I believe it was up3. Now with HSFX each time you run a heat it changes just a bit overheat and burning an engine isnt consistant so i believe fuel consuption would be different each time you run and isnt worth the risk.

DW we are racing a double prop for the first race but that doesnt mean we cant race another and I am planing a P51 thinking the 25 model though. I am looking for a track that the spit would be a good one on, (the only problem I have encountered is the engine management is limited on most spits) but I thinking of a carburated one and a track that might be a good one for it. I will take the other planes under consideration. TD if I could build it I would if there is someone that will build it I will race it just for u. I have a track with a jet in mind already it isnt that difficult of a track, the only trouble is the elevator trim is bit of pain to keep in trim, as speeds build you have to retrim it out. ~S~ Guys

The reason I suggest the P-51A/Mustang I is that it was'nt very good at high alt but was fairly speedy at low alt which is why they used it as for tactical reconnaissance. With the allison engine it would make a nice change from the usual merlin P-51s.

That's true the Spitfire XIV has no rad or pitch control (At least not without disabling auto-pitch), the XII has pitch control but still no rad. Does lack of either disqualify an a/c for racing?

No DW it does not disqualify it from racing but it is a quality I look for in a racer. i remember a track we raced a Spit and it was when BB was hosting. But the P-51 I will consider the merlin is fast. We raced once with MKIII.

 :help2: Im not sure in which direction the course goes  :idiot-0011:
Chimneys on the left or right?
Just a suggestion to eliminate this question in further courses.
In the past I have used the Red and Blue race poles 375-376 in objects list.
Red for Port and Blue for Starboard. No question on direction. Last race was fun.
This one looks like a blast as well. I can see many good places to crash :lol
Thanks to you all for including us.

Z and Frag with the exception of Fraggs tracks which are not going to use this season, those colored markers are only used to indicate something up ahead like a turn or out of line marker. THE ONLY way to judge the direction is on what side of the start/finish line the starter marker on the pavement is on. So we line up on those white tags on the ground, put or nose of the aircraft on one facing the start line, that is the direction of flight. Fraggs has spent the time to make it easy to judge direction, and our tracks are so old and far to many of them to change and make marker for direction. We are evaluating Fraggs tracks for further use and i will be posting them for all to run and give their opinion on them. He has some real interesting tracks and should be fun to run.

Sorry for the delay in posting this track, I was working on it last night and wound up having some personal issues too deal with.  :bomb-034: I will in the future post these tracks I am hoping on time.  :CC I will post the results of this weeks race on Sat.  Anyway the track is Flat Out and the aircraft is The P-51A 1942. This track has several cross overs and is fairly easy to fly so we can have a break from the first two tough tracks. There are two warnings the first is a hair pin turn the other are tanks that mark invisible trees so fly above the tanks. I hope that all enjoy this track, and all get across the finish line to give us some good racing. I dont think this a long track so 4 laps should be good. If anyone thinks this is too long and will put us too late in the evening please let me know and I can modify it accordingly.  :happy-112:

I am seeing the tops of the bottom of valley's getting cut making you too high, disqualifying racers of their first place finish's.

Honorary Mention goes too GhostBear for his come back, Ghost you are definitely scarey good.

I apologize to DW for being overly critical on him, i gave his first place win back to him on the second heat. He barely cleared one tower and it was in awkward spot, and I did state that I would show some leniency due to the difficulty. If any of the points don't add up please don't mention it.  :lol

Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on April 26, 2014, 08:01:11 PM
Taking your ball and going home is never a solution, Fraggmann.

We need to make sure going forward that everybody knows the rules and they are applied evenly to everyone. (I say that not only as a competitor but especially as a judge.)  Then no one should have an issue with being penalized. It get's messy when you start getting into the grey area of lenicency where some rules don't have any and others do to differing degrees.

DW
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on April 26, 2014, 08:37:10 PM
I will review DW's issues but I am certain that it will stand as charged. But with good conscience Fraggman we told you during the race you where to high. WHEN anyone goes out of bounds you must go around regardless of distance ahead. You went out of bounds almost every lap so I ruled against you. I apologize for the ruling but you went extremely high several times Fraggman I could not ignore it, and getting first place is a remarkable accomplishment without the out of bounds you flew a heck of a race on a very tough track. But I must be fair to ALL competitors concerning the rules. Try being in my shoes for one race. Keeping in mind that with out rules we just fly around the track doing what ever we please.
I posted the rules and the scoring points prior to starting this season of racing.

Yoo DUDE I know the feeling so very well, and I would never hold anything against you Fragg. I understand I have complained or asked for several reviews thinking it was BS. No worries mate, you flew a heck of a race. Tuck in your shirt tighten your belt and win the next race Bro.
I have reviewed the tracks and FraggMan's violations stand due to greater than three towers multiple times, DW's infraction is hear by over turned and the scoring page has been corrected. He barely cleared the top of one tower, although DW stated he was giving no mercy on DQ's during the first HEAT. I on the other hand am willing to show some mercy.
As for the three tower rule it is not in the rules the number of tower's it should be a judgement call, and I clearly was too hardh, but here is the rule.

11> Going out of bounds means at any one point in the race your aircraft breaches the height on the objects to eather side (draw a straight line across from one side the opposite side) if the downward wing tip
exceeds this point EXCEPT when discussed before the race or more than half of the aircraft goes outside the sideways boundary you must exit and reenter at the point or close to it as humanly possible to avoid
gaining any advantage, if you do not exit and reenter it is grounds for a disqualification of that heat.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on April 26, 2014, 11:16:06 PM
Ok, if there is no rule of thumb regarding number of towers for going too high, clearing one tower or 3+ is the same. I should get a DQ the same as Fragg.

The rules should be as black and white as possible and apply to all, this makes it easier for judging too. I don't think it's a matter of mercy or no, if there is a rule and a line in the sand and everyone knows it's there if someone crosses and gets penalized that's just the way it is. As a competitor I'm cool with that. No one should ever be upset if they cross such a line nor should a judge feel bad for enforcing the rule. There may be instances where things are judgement calls (like when things are too close to call) but those should be kept to a minumum.

Ok guys you all should know this track its called the Twister and the plane is the Spitfire Vb Merlin46 1942 she is fast and nimble. GhostBear if you want to get a jump on the following plane it is the F-86F-25E Sabre 1953. We have had some unusual results with overheat and fuel economy. So be advised watch the overheat. Also just a reminder about going over the pylons on this track there are two areas that as long as you don't cut the corners and are below the pylons at the BOTTOM of the hills it will be forgiven. BUT DON'T CUT THE CORNERS. If you unaware of the spots during practice I will show you where they are. Make sure you select the 2014-S4 Twister icon it is the first one. ~S~ Have fun.

Race results are in, some very good racing and the same old goblin has reared its nasty head again. GostBear experienced some variances in overheat and Jack with power issues. I can not explain Ghost issues but for Jack  you have 3 things that hurt your speed.  First and foremost you need to calibrate your throttle it only went to 104% not 110% and that's major loss of power. If you cant get it to calibrate I would assign a key to get full power. 2 Your dropping throttle to enter a corner that is difficult, instead try entering the corner on the outside wall then come to the inside. This will give you more room and greater exit speed. The third is kind of goes together, Flaps, prop pitch and rads. Doing all of this in one race can be distracting, one you should never need flaps, ( if I have to use flaps in a corner I wont select the track or use a different plane, I mention it for those that are not able to practice enough to get thru the corner without them), prop pitch I never will use to cool the engine, although it is proven to be an effective way to cool the engine and keep a constant high throttle setting, rads I have found that in HSFX setting them on auto usually will do the trick without to much loss of speed. Doing all of this in any race is a bit to much Jack plus worrying about trim you be busy in the cockpit. Just some hints on why you are slower than the rest.

Ok Boys it is the Mid Season race and it is a dousy of a track, and it is a track DW has not raced on again. The name of the track is Pillars it is flat and extremely fast. Where there are NO TOWERS there ISN"T an out of bounds as long as you are in bounds by the very next tower. So the corners are marked by one tower as long as you are inside and below the next tower I DON'T CARE. The aircraft is the F86F-25E Sabre Jet. Have fun, be fast or be lapped.

I know what I did, I turned right when I should have went straight. Just proves that we should always choose the straight and narrow way,when we don't,we lose!!!!!

 I have not reviewed the tracks yet GatlinGun. You should fly above the track so you can see the way around, or record your first run so you can look back in slow motionwhat you did wrong. You can even pause the track to see where you turn pick out markers to remind you of where you are. VERY VERY Helpful in determining the line to take. Try it you might like it.

I did review the track and I know where I messed-up. I do not understand the course for this coming race,don't know which way to go. I have tried to fly it and I have flown above it still no go.

when you spawn in look to the left of the runway, you see the flags the starting spots are just to the left of the flags. Still in the same spot as you spawned in your flight will be left to right. When you are on the starting spots facing the start flag that is the direction of flight.

This track does look a t little different than most of the other tracks we race.

   For all intents and purposes  the course is an oval and you're going counter clockwise around it,  so keep the chimneys on your left.

   In some places you'll want to keep the large rocks/ steep cliff faces  to your right.   ( The first turn after taking off is a good example. Chimneys on the left, rocks on the right - stay between them.)

  In some places you'll just see chimneys - keep them on your left.
I think there might be one crossover where you  see the rock cliff things on both sides briefly - as you go through the intersection. 

Hope that helps.

Hey guys Frag mentioned putting tanks in front of the invisible trees. so I worked late tonight on putting tanks and rearranging the starting spots back behind the start line. this shouldn't change anyone's flight plans. I have it in a zip if anyone wants it to host I have a bad headache and cant sleep. i should be fine by racing.

i have been extremely busy during the weekends, with landscaping this is the second weekend in a row I have rented an excavator and again next weekend. I am clearing all of the trees and leveling a extremely uneven property. I have cut down and dug up over 25 trees ranging from 4 inches around to two feet in diameter. i have some trees that are 3 feet in diameter and are to close to the house and are dying. Any way it is very difficult judging where everyone went out of bounds and didn't turn around. You guys aren't going to like the results.  :surprised-027:

This was a tough race to judge, again I had to take away first place because of going high. DW and I are still under discussion on the upcoming rule change for going high. If anyone has any input concerning what should be allowed as incidental out of bounds high only (It is extremely hard to notice if you went over a tower or not it is easy to see if you went thru one).
Right now it is up for 3 consecutive towers high as incidental to high when they are spaced reasonably close. Going high does not gain you an advantage per say, put we need a height rule.

You deffently lose speed climbing, but the point is to control your aircraft with trim and stick control. It has helped me to become a better virtual pilot.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_tomtom on May 22, 2014, 02:18:17 PM
Hmmmmmm, well personally I like to go into the turn a little high for a tighter turn with rudder input, it helps coming out of it as well in my personal opinion. 
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on May 23, 2014, 01:54:09 AM
Input of any kind is drag which will slow you down, even a KMH or two can cost you the lead. Put I have to agree it can help stable the aircraft in a turn. Making sure that your wings are 90 degrees before the turn starts also will help stable the aircraft. Well here is next weeks track and the drum roll please. "Whats My Line" ohh my gosh all hills and turns. The plane is the P-39-Q10 and you better have the speed to make the top of that one incline, that's all I am going to say.

TD to make it easy I can post the opened folder you can download straight into your racing folder and you wont have to unzip it/extract it.

Well guys here is a favorite it is flat and it is fast with some good turns in it. The starting grids are the flames that you can barely see comming out of the top of the run ways. There is more than one spawn spots so when practice comes if it wont let you in zoom in and select another spot. AH Logo is the track and the LA-7 (3x20).

6 Olds              8
7 Fraggmann   7

Heat 3

1 BBQhead     17
2 Fraggmann  14  WARNING you were high at the same tower once each heat I warned you in practice you are pulling up too soon going up hill. Especially if going in a valley you were close racing so just a warning.
3 DarkWolf     12
4 Olds            11
5 Lippy           10
6 Jack              9
7 GhostBear    8  You cut the first corner way too soon that close to other pilots, actually you barely squeaked by the first two heats.

Unless I have missed something I believe the point standings for Olds should be 153 and not 134. The only reason I noticed this is because Me and Olds have been so close in the standings. Olds raced this past Wed. and I did not.

~S~ Lippy
Thank you Sir. I hate to have to bring this up,specially after being commended,but I believe my total points should be 151 instead of 124. I have reviewed the tapes for heat #1 in slow-motion and if I was not penelized for being bumped high coming out of the last turn I actually crossed the finish line in 5th. place,I know it is only two points difference but it will give me a tie with Olds.

Post by: _AH_Lippy on June 11, 2014, 03:23:01 AM
Your right on both counts, I need to have DW say in this. I guess I missed the bump though I did wonder why you went so high I should have reviewed it closer. i will correct the points later its late and I need some rest.

I have a vote for all of you guys next weeks track is Pull My Finger and I want a vote on the plane

A20-G
Beaufighter MK 21
Mosquito B MK XVI

I should mention the the A20 and the Beaufighter roll rate is slower than the Mossy.

Well gents I did not realize that we have already flown 2 double prop planes this season already so sorry for the vote thingy. Well after some serious thought and thinking oh wait those are the same thing lol anyway for our final race of the season I thought we could race a track I doubt most of you know or remember. It is flat it has a ton of corners and cross overs and you will get lost if you don't pay attention to the directional arrows and red lines. Without further A due the track is none other than Criss Cross flying the F4U-1C. Practice Practice Practice boys.

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=7CD999872472E6DC&id=7CD999872472E6DC!2181

Heat 1 = 2 laps
Heat 2 = 3 laps
Heat 3 = 4 laps

And may the best man win it all all positions I believe (* I have not done the judging of the last race yet) are still up for grabs. ~S~ Kick the Tires and Lite the Fires boys see ya next week.

Well gents that's the Spring Season. The positions were close and I saw a lot of improvement in GatlinGun and Jack. Jack the first heat you were angled incorrectly and the torque drove you right into the pylons. The second heat looks like you had full up elevator and the plane lifted the right wheel and at a sharp left angle when the right wheel came down it straightened you out cause you to loose control causing you to nose over. GatlinGun you were talked about how racy you have become you were in the front lead on several occasions and gave some of us a run for our money, I know the points don't show it but they will. Jack Practice Practice Practice which is hard for you i know with all of your collateral duties. I am available for lessons in racing for anyone that wants to improve. I am sorry that the last race of the season was  rushed, Because of that no warnings or penalties were handed out except for one. Until we can find a fix for the incidental kicking of pilots AH-Logo and Criss Cross is off the schedule. I have some new additions/alterations to the rules I would like to submit for approval. I also want to know how everyone felt about the new scoring. Should we keep it or go back to the old way of 2 points for DQ and DNF.

7 GatlinGun             6

I am thinking of starting the Fall season of AH Air Racing on Oct. 8th. i also want to have fraggmann post or send me the revamped version of the carrier take off race course to see if it is something that we want to race on. So watch for the posting so we can test the track I would like several different opinions on it. I am also going to revamp the rule on scoring out of bounds for this season as previously discussed. It makes it a bit harder to score but I feel it is a bit more fair in the sc oring. If anyone that is opossed to the way we scored the last season now is the time to voice your opinions and we can have an open discusion on it. Sorry i have been overly busy this summer and havent been to any meetings, i will try very hard not to miss the up coming meeting. We can then discuss anything brought up here. ~S~ fellow racers I am getting the need for speed.

   Those 3 carrier tracks are woppers. The air planes stink but, what the hey. I like the drop off to the tanks on the 3rd track. Would really be a great finish if you had to land to finish. You could bolter if need be but you had to land soooo maby the last guy could win 'cause he got down on first approach.

Not a bad idea TD I agree I want to change aircraft as well. If landing was the case we be limited on aircraft. As it is any aircraft can take off from the carriers. Nicely done TD

Post by: _AH_Lippy on September 10, 2014, 02:28:17 PM
I have decided on a date to start the 2014 Fall AH Air Racing season how does Oct 1st sound. We will need to postpone Novembers 26 race for Thanksgiving and end the seasons races on Dec. 10th in time for the hollidays. If less than 5 racers show on Oct. 1st we will cancell the season due to lack of particapants. DW, BBQ, and Archie can not commit to a full race season and Gatlin is unknown. That would leave Lippy, fragg, Olds, GhostBear, Jack as regular racers. That is just barely enough to have races, if less than 4 show for a race that race would be cancelled. (if not mistaken the rules state an official race is 4 or more, and 3 judges are required. we went with 2 judges last time this does not leave much judgement).  DW did commit to judging the races again this is less than required. So the question I have do we want to procede with the fall season. I have changed Jobs at work and am now on 4/10 4 day 10 hour shift, Wed thru Sat. with Sun - tue. off. I have to get up at 0315 to make work by 0445 in the mourning. Races end at 8 pm my time leaving an hour to get ready for bed, not much time but I am commited to AH Air Racing. I may be tired and cranky as always so please forgive me. I need to know who wants to race starting Oct  1st or earlier - later. this Sunday is AH Meeting we can discuss this further. i have decided to leave the scoring the same. I will not be modifing the out of bounds rule, being leanyent brings in to many questions. So if you go out you are disgaulified period, no if's, or buts allowed.

The trophies for last season are not on the temp pages. I understand that the pic is difficult and may need to wait awhile, I just dont want them forgotten.

_AH_DarkWolf defending Champ 1st place Spring 2014
_AH_Lippy 2nd place
CPS_Ghostbear 3rd place

I chalenge all of AH to get all three trophies back in the hands of AH once again. I pledge to bump and rub GhostBear as much as possible $5.00 per scratch to be paid to each pilot that bumps Ghost.  :lol

Ok Guys AH Racing is about to begin so I thought I would post the rules once again.  :happy-112:
The racing League rules are as follows

1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of ten races each featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week.
NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "vulnerability" set to "Off. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is refering to the area from the start line to the end of the first turn..   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise. Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one. No points will be awarded to a crashed pilot no matter what position they were occupying at the end of the race. Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized. A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and at the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

11> Going out of bounds means at any one point in the race your aircraft breaches the height on the objects to eather side (draw a straight line across from one side the opposite side) if the downward wing tip exceeds this point EXCEPT when discussed before the race or more than half of the aircraft goes out side the sideways boundary you must exit and reenter at the point or close to it as humanly possible to avoid gaining any advantage, if you do not exit and reenter it is grounds for a disqualification of that heat.

12> This racing league will be subject to the wishes and decisions of the Aces High command staff. Rules may be changed, modified, or nullified at their discretion without prior warning.

Points are as follows

1st heat
1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 10
4th -  9
5th -  8
6th -  7
7th -  6
8th -  5
9th -  4   
10th - 4
11th - 4
etc..- 4

2nd heat
1st - 16
2nd - 13
3rd - 11
4th - 10
5th -  9
6th -  8
7th -  7
8th -  6
9th -  5   
10th - 5
11th - 5
etc..- 5

3rd heat
1st - 17
2nd - 14
3rd - 12
4th - 11
5th - 10
6th -  9
7th -  8
8th -  7
9th -  6   
10th - 6
11th - 6
etc..- 6

SCORING will remain the same as last season, here is a break down of how we score a race. Instead of DNF and DQ getting just 2 points and not receiving a position. The first person to crash, or DQ (due to going out of bounds without circling back) will get last place and the last to crash or DQ will get the position after the last man to cross the finish line. The plane with the most time in air will receive the best position in a manner of speaking. So if we have 10 racers on heat one 6 cross the finish line, #7 pranged his prop on take off, #8 went out of bounds lap 1 turn 1 and #9 crashed last turn on lap 1 and #10 crashed mid point of lap 2 #7 would come in 10th place #8 9th place, #9 8th place and #10 would get 7th place.
I know this looks confusing, but I am trying to award those that fly the most in the heat and give points to their perspective positions. If there are any questions please ask.
REMEMBER if you go out of bounds period, (there will be no leinecy for going out of bounds) and do not TURN AROUND to renter the track you will be disqualified and automaticaly recieve last place positioning in the race. The most important thing to remember you must turn around (turn the oposite direction) and renter as close as humanly possible at the point of the offence. As long as you turn around and renter the track there will be no pentalty. Alot of racers are spending way to much time trying to figure out where they went out, the point is to lose what ever gain in track position. Due to wing tip smoke being so light there wont be any penalty if you dont reenter at the point of exiting.

Well so much for proof reading your comments before hitting DW opps I mean post  :lol

The FALL AH Air Racing Season is upon us. The first track is short but fast, and the plane of choice, I was going to use the German TA 152 but like the Mustang MK III better.
Blackout Downs - Mustang MK III
Heat 1 - 1 lap

Sorry Lippy you got the 152 as the plane...but I know how to
change it to the Mustang. Will Expert be on or off ?
If need be my vote is for.. on  :happy-119:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on September 23, 2014, 07:43:46 PM
Sorry I forgot to go back in and remove the other planes I tested with. The Mustang should be in the pull down list, the 152 is the first on the list. I will fix that tonight after Camp night. Expert is off, I did some testing and got a hole lot of unreliable engines worse than when it is off or so it seemed. We each can do some testing to see if thier is any differences. I tested this track with the planes in the list and got different results with rad closed rad open to 2 and some unexpected instant engine failures. The squad is using expert on. This will add a hole new deminsion to racing, one we are not accustome to. The reliability of the engines I think is less with expert on. Meaning more engine failures during a race for absolutly no reason. You saw some last year it will be higher with it on. Discuse the final vote during the meeting on Sunday. Man better remember to be there I just commited myself to it. Ahhh the agony of leadership aint it a B@#$*

Sorry Lippy Im on the other side on this one. I like the idea of an even more realistic engine management and flight model.
In real racing you face the threat of failures and break downs.  The added engine vulnerability will add even more
realism to the aircraft and it's performance. I think using expert would change the dynamic of air racing as well. No more
running two plus laps before over heat, more realistic flight model, more accurate fuel consumption....you get my point....
It would bring racing that much closer to the real thing. In my humble opinion that would be a plus.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on September 24, 2014, 07:46:32 PM
The link to the track is fixed.

Tis is a post on my ongoing testing of expert on or off for this seasons races. I have been testing for two and half hours with expert on and with expert off. I have tested three 2 lapers with rad closed and tried extremely hard to keep everything as close as possible. With expert mode off I had one engine failure about 1 1/2 laps but after take off i felt the bottom of the plane bump the ground, this could have damaged the plane. So I ran the heat over. The engine failure was more unpredictable with expert off, also the engine lasted longer. With expert on the engine overheat came on almost identical to off mode, but the engine failed all three times before crossing the finish line and without any warning, no smoke no squeak that I saw or heard while in wonder woman view. With expert off always there was smoke then squeaking then failure. I don't know if the sounds are different when expert is on, but there is a big difference with concern to warnings of engine failure. It is my concern with expert on there will be no warning signs of engine failure but the failure rate is consistent. In real life one can never predict engine malfunctions, but I do like the warning signs of eminent failure it allows the pilot to take necessary precautions to remain in the air and achieve a good finish. I for one like having the opportunity to set a goal with no DNF's or DQ. I have yet to finish all heats in more than two races a season. I like to push the limits and get the win. If expert is on I feel this will be removed, and will ask that the Executive branch have a look at this test or post and come to a vote at Sundays meeting. Rule #12 states that changes need to be voted on. If you want to be heard attend the meeting on the 28th. I realize this is cutting it close to the first race and may alter the outcome so it is my decision to race the first race EXPERT OFF, then continue the rest of the season as voted on this upcoming meeting. ~S~ And good luck racers.

I forgot about the flight models changing by using Expert. Don't like it. Just when Im getting a handle on how to fly, someone changes my flight model and I flop around like a fish out of water. Not to say ANYTHING about my marksmanship, which was never that good to start with.  Tried it last night for the 1st time in game. Didn't like what it did. I guess if you have all the toys to run a more complex game, that's all good. But, for the rest of us, using just a basic run of the mill stick. Expert is a hand full. Im not sure if using it was such a great ideal to start with. But, who am I?

I thought the tomahawk seemed easier to land with expert on but according to all the readmes I've seen so far, none of the P-40\Tomahawks flight models have been changed in expert. So I'm thinking some of it is our imaginations.

~S~ Z this is why I am posting all of this so I can be fair to all who want to race. Remember this AH Air Racing forum. If I have just one pilot that wants to keep expert off and race full season I will keep it expert off. This is for the enjoyment of ALL OF AH not just for the ones with the machines too handle the gadgets and the time it takes to be good. I want to hear from anyone that wants to race TD, Jack DW, BBQ, frag, Archie and you Z and the rest. I dont want one AH Member feeling left out due to lack of anything. I want this to be clear.

I don't know where you guys are getting this notion that expert requires a better computer or more expensive stick to run well. That's just silly. If you can run and fly the game in regular HSFX, you'll run just as well with expert on.

I simply dont want anyone to think they are left out or cant partake in racing for any reason. I would like to see a bigger turnout the more the marrier it becomes. I still to this day think that Air Racing improves your flying skills, along with quals and gunnery/wingman training. You must be able to control your aircraft under tight restriants and under deress. It sharpens your situational awarness as well. man to see the track ahead of, calculate when,were and how fast to make your turn while concentrating on comms to determine how far back the competion is, with all of that and win is an accomplishment to say the least. it takes constant commitment to become a racer, and I also know it isnt for everyone.
Maybe I am over thinking this, or how shall I put it, Babbling isnt that what it is called.  :happy-026:

No problem Bro, I know that feeling very well. This weeks track is the Up and Down Track it is a familiar track once you fly a lap or two you might remember it. the plane is a fast one and it aint the KI it is the LA-7R R stands for Rocket. So this baby is dual engine and requires full fuel to run the rocket. So do your testing and make sure the stop watches are accurate cause this is going to be a close one.

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=7CD999872472E6DC&id=7CD999872472E6DC!2300

Good luck tomorrow I haven't even practiced yet. But here is next weeks track it is a favorite of mine Whats My Line hilly and extremely fast. the plane is a favorite of Ghost's the KI-84c. Have fun and remember expert mode is off. See ya tomorrow night 17.00 pt and races will start 1830 or when Ghost gets in. ~S~

I have made a miscallculation on the times for practice and starting the races. Some how I started practice one hour earlier than last season. I thank my fellow racer BBQ for politely pointing out the errors of my ways. So I will send a PM to Hogan and Archie, and DW that i need to change the calender. So practice will start at 2100 ET and the first Heat at 2200 ET.  (wavey)

Here is the scoring from last weeks race. We need to be careful on our starts there were some mighty close to anticipating the words GO GO GO. You are not allowed to spool up till the words GO GO GO are seen. I am not saying that anyone is but it is close which what racers do push the limits. It is next to impossible to exactly tell if anyone even myself are spooling up too fast. So lets be vigilant and watch it. Good luck tonight, I think the next plane is going to surprise all of you it did me.

B-17E! Now that's something different.

Heres a thought, this is an aircraft that does have level stab. I assume people are not allowed to use it?

That is correct NO LEVEL STABILIZER ALLOWED in AH Air Racing. I dont see any where it can be used anyway.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_fraggmann on October 21, 2014, 08:38:03 PM
Weather it can be used or not on the track has no relevance, :happy-026: it is a part of the airplanes control system! (6)
The B-17 came with level stab before the Mod was introduced. So why ban it?  :happy-016:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on October 21, 2014, 10:21:44 PM
Yeah but why does it have level stab? So you can keep the plane level while operating the bombsight.

A big part of the challenge of racing is testing your skill at flying smoothly and trimming your plane. This is something that will help a pilot in all areas of flying. You won't learn anything by engaging level stab to fly smooth on straights.

I thought it was the "Mod" that was banned.
How and when you use the level stabilizer is not my point.
My point is that you are banning a part of that aircraft. Would you ban take off flaps?
None of the racers use them and you would be a fool if you did, used or not it is still a part
of the aircraft.....
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on October 22, 2014, 07:51:12 PM
Again, it has to do with the practical benefits of racing. In this case flying smooth and trimming your plane. Kicking in level stab, wether the plane comes with it as stock or not defeats that purpose.

No one is saying you can't still use it in combat while using your bombsight or if you wanna use your gunner's positions. That's what it's there for.

Hey BB, wow, I just got a look of that first heat. Hey man, I didn't mean to cut you off not only once, but, a,, well, lets say a few times. I didn't know I did that. Keyboard trim isn't the easy thing to do on the fly. After viewing it, I kinda felt bad and was thinking. I bet you were cussing me. But, anyways. Good fly'en on your part. Couldn't been easy trying to dodging me.

Quick question.   The newest track.   Are we to go in clockwise pattern or vice versa ?

Wood
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_fraggmann on December 06, 2014, 06:42:14 PM
Hey Wood
I believe it is Counter-Clock wise. For my own use (practice) I opened the track in the mission builder
and made a few changes. I added the large see through red square to the air field. This allows you to taxi
across the grass smoothly, no bounce. I also changed the left side blue racing poles to red.
Red=Port and Blue=Starboard. If you like send me a PM with your e-mail addy and I will be happy to send you a copy.

Will some one be appointed or is it a volunteer thing ? :thinking-008:
If it's a volunteer thing then I'm volunteering. (wavey)
I had mentioned this to Ghostbear and he has offered his support should I run the races in Lippys absence. :happy-016:
I hinted to him that changing his tags to _AH_would be beneficial in his acceptance as a possible judge. (6)
I know he wants to but needs a a slight push....anyway..... if there is a ring ,Im throwing my hat in. (wavey)

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_fraggmann on May 08, 2015, 09:15:36 PM
In Lippys absence Im going to try and run the Races this season.
I will try my best to do a job as good as Lippy.
The Spring/Summer Season will run from May20th-July29th.
I will open a room in the Lobby May 20th at 19:00 CST for practice.
Races will start at 20:00 CST.
This is an 11 week season. Race #06 will be a "Special Event".
I will release all the details on this event later in the season.
I want to run the whole idea past our CO to keep things legit.


This is what Lippy posted last season and to keep it simple we will use the same rules.
_________________________________________________________________________
Ok Guys AH Racing is about to begin so I thought I would post the first track a little early and give a run down of the rules once again.The racing League rules are as follows

1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of ten races and one Special Event. Each race featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week. The "Special Event" will be a "Mid Season Event"  and give all competitors a chance to pick up some extra points.
NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "vulnerability" set to "Off. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will
be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other
participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is refering to the area from the start
line to the end of the first turn..   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the
like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise.
Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one.  Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized.
A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and at the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh
should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

11> Going out of bounds means at any one point in the race your aircraft breaches the height on the objects to either side (draw a straight line across from one side the opposite side) if the downward wing tip
exceeds this point EXCEPT when discussed before the race or more than half of the aircraft goes out side the sideways boundary you must exit and reenter at the point or close to it as humanly possible to avoid
gaining any advantage, if you do not exit and reenter it is grounds for a disqualification of that heat.

12> This racing league will be subject to the wishes and decisions of the Aces High command staff. Rules may be changed, modified, or nullified at their discretion without prior warning.

Points are as follows

1st heat
1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 10
4th -  9
5th -  8
6th -  7
7th -  6
8th -  5

6th -  8
7th -  7
8th -  6

5th - 10
6th -  9
7th -  8

9th -  6   
10th - 6
11th - 6
etc..- 6

SCORING has changed just a little instead of DNF and DQ getting just 2 points and not receiving a position. The first person to crash, or DQ (due to going out of bounds without circling back) will get last place and the last to crash or DQ will get the position after the last man to cross the finish line. The plane with the most time in air will receive the best position in a manner of speaking. So if we have 10 racers in heat one and 6 competitors cross the finish line, #7 pranged his prop on take off, #8 went out of bounds lap 1 turn 1 and #9 crashed last turn on lap 1 and #10 crashed mid point of lap 2
#7 would come in 10th place #8 9th place, #9 8th place and #10 would get 7th place.
I know this looks confusing, but I am trying to award those that fly the most in the heat and give points to their respective positions. If there are any questions please ask.


Here is the first track of the Spring Season    "A 56 Rivers"   Tempest Mk.V   

Good luck to all the competitors.

Well this looks good to me Fragg but I'm a little out of practice with the racing stuff. Perhaps Lippy could double check your plan if he has'nt already.

I think you have a typo with the Tempest marque, should be Mk.V as there is no Mk.VI.

We thought moving the time ahead 30 min. If you are interested in joining in please leave a post here
and let me know what time is good for you and I will do my best to accommodate everyone.
As it stands now Practice will start at 19:30 CST. This time could change depending on the response I get.

Problem with timing is you move it a little one way and it's not good for west coasters, move it a little the other way and it's not great for east coasters. Options are a little more limited on a weekday night, racing used to be like 6pm EST on a saturday was'nt it? Maybe that would be better for all?

DW you are correct when BBQ was the officiator it was on Saturdays. I tried to have it on Sat. but got maybe three people to show up and did exactly what frag is doing now. Wednesday seemed to be the best time for those that wanted to race on a consistent basis. But which ever day works best to get enough to race is all good. I good for any day frag as long as it does not interfere with other AH missions. I will not be able to race until the second week of June. I am hoping to fly the FNF Sunday the 7th, and that is the best I can say as to my return.

The last race I did watch the recording.

I reviewed the final heat from last night from my plane and from Jack's and it looks like I was too high several times so I will abide by whatever decision is made.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_fraggmann on May 29, 2015, 10:26:14 AM
I also saw you (Gatlingun) go a bit high a few times, but in my opinion, you going too high
did not give you an advantage. So I will leave the results as they stand. Last season Lippy
was very forgiving. In stead of calling an infraction he issued warnings as long as no advantage
was gained  and the infraction is not blatant. Clearly yours was not blatant and no advantage
was gained.....~S
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Jack on May 29, 2015, 12:39:47 PM
Gatlingun blew a piston and threw a rod during the last heat, lightening his plane (unfair advantage) and, therefore, maintained his lead at the finish.  Had he not lost those engine parts, I clearly would have won.

If you had not modified your engine with some kind of super cooling device (advantage) you would have blown-up trying to catch me. That is what is called smoking the competition!!!

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Lippy on May 30, 2015, 05:15:46 AM
frag going high was judged by two things. If the pilot went high for more than three towers and did not turn around than a DQ was issued, if the pilot went high to give way to a plane below him or was forced up I forgave the infraction. Say a pilot went high in a turn and then started going low to gain speed that is clearly gaining an advantage. 1 -2 KPH in a strait away is big, Ghostbear and I were a testament to how close races can be. I trust your judgment if you are in question of anything just PM me and I will give the best advice possible. I will not be there for this next race but will be able to attend the rest of the season. ~S~ I am looking forward to getting back in the saddle.

Went to practice and can not take off. It seems as soon as i get a few meters into the air and pull my gear and I am clear of the ground I bounce straight into the air. I turned around and went the opposite direction and it did not happen. I am facing the the right direction. I used the very back line and it still it is like I am hitting a wall or something anyone else have this issue.

AH-Light Speed relay/obstacle

Teams will be created this way:

1st and 8th place.............team #1
2nd and 7th place...........team #2
3rd and 6th place.............team #3
4th and 5th place.............team #4

Heat #1.. 2 LAPS...1 Lap per team mate
Heat #2.. 4 Laps..2 Laps per team mate
Heat #3.. 6 Laps..3 Laps per team mate

Each team will pick a member to run a 1 lap race for his team.

1st place winner of the 1 lap race will get first pick on the starting grid for his team.
2nd place team gets second choice...etc.

Each team will line up on the grid with the lower place first
and the higher behind eg;  7th place then 2nd place.
This will apply for all three heats.

Once the first team member crosses the finish line on the final lap of
each heat the second team member takes off.

Should the first team member crash the surviving member must complete his team mates laps.
eg ;  team #3 .....6th place crashes on lap 2 of 3. 3rd place team member must complete lap 2 and 3 for his team mate and his own laps as well. This would equal a total of 5 laps for 3rd place member.
                                             
Surviving member may take off upon team mates crash.

All points will be awarded as usual. Both team members will be awarded points as individuals...eg; team #4 finishes 1st. Both members will be awarded 1st place points.
Should both team members crash the usual scoring system will apply.
Should one team mate crash and his team mate finishes, both team mates will be awarded the finishing team mates place.
This will be the final race.

I've gone through this thread collecting season results for adding to the roster pages, I had no idea we were missing SO many trophies.

I have one outstanding question in regards to the Fall '09 Season, on page 16 of this thread the results of Race #9 were posted with mention of the final race coming up, but the results of #10 were never posted. I checked the meeting notes thread and the final season results were not mentioned there either. Really all I need to know is if BBQ or Gonzo finished 3rd since the top two are no longer AH.

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on October 03, 2015, 11:41:31 PM

DW, I've looked all kinds of places for those results. And I've found that I have no documents, emails, pms, etc. from between the dates of Dec. 8  '09 and Jan 12 '10 on my computer or in any webstorage spaces I use.  I suspect Obama and Homeland security removed it all.  :thinking-008:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_DarkWolf on October 04, 2015, 12:58:23 AM
Hmm, something is not making sense. Archie, Ring and Twisted finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd in the spring 09 season.

Ok wait maybe it does, I should have gone through all this stuff I wrote down more. The trophies on the old pages seem to indicate it went Twisted, Gonzo, BBQ in the fall season. Those are the three '09 trophies I know are'nt the spring ones, so they must be the fall ones.

But that still does'nt make sense, with one race remaining the points at the top were :

Moggy.....224
Twisted...215
Gonzo.....154
BBQ.......130

Ahh wait, I think I see what happened now. I could'nt figure out how you guys could have made up 70 or 90 points in one race. I see now from the meeting notes it's cause Moggy resigned at that time so he must have gotten removed from the standings, so those are the correct fall '09 trophies.

Ok, that explains that.

So there should have been 33 trophies in total for active pilots. 10 of them are yours, BBQ. I see a new term being added to the AH Vernacular, "Trophy Whore".

Since Lippy is out for now I would like to step up and look after the Spring 2016 Air Racing season.
As most racers know I have at least 25 tracks ready to go and I propose the same rules as the last season.
This season I would like to make it a 12 race series and I will add some of the favorite AH courses.
Last season we raced on Wednesdays, is Wednesday open or is there a campaign in the works for Wednesdays?
This Saturday the 12th I will open a room in the lobby and host a track just for a fun run @20:00 cst.
As Lippy would say "kick them tires and light them fires"

I have been given the thumbs up to host the 2016 spring Air Race season.
We will stay with Wednesday nights @20:00 cst and the first race will be March 23/16
unless this conflicts with other plans. The rules will remain the same and are posted below along with the first track.

Good luck to you all and see you at the finish line.....

   #11 fraggmann


Ok Guys AH Racing is about to begin so I thought I would post the rules once again. The racing League rules are as follows;

1> The Aces High Racing League will consist of twelve races. Each race featuring three heats of varying length depending on the circuit being raced. One race will be held per week. The "Special Event" will be a "Mid Season Event"  and give all competitors a chance to pick up some extra points.
NOTE: Race dates may vary due to squadron commitments so please pay attention to the calendar on the Aces High main page.

2> The tracks and corresponding files will be released one week prior to the race. The race circuits will vary greatly in length, terrain, type, etc

3> Custom skins are encouraged and welcome for use. The louder, the better but Aces High policy still stands as per the Code Of Conduct. Material considered to be in poor taste or offensive will not be permitted.

4> Races will be flown in "Open cockpit" with "vulnerability" set to "Off. This is meant to reduce the chance of collisions and any damaged caused by aircraft explosions. For the purpose of these races clouds will
be turned "Off" in an effort to improve frame rates.

5> All participating pilots MUST be on Ventrilo. Trash talk (To an extent), is encouraged. While not mandatory, pilots should communicate their intent to pass and give out their position in relation to other
participating aircraft to whom they may not be visible.

6> Should any single incident during the start of a race cause 4 or more aircraft to crash or sustain damage, the heat will be restarted.  The "Start of a race"  is refering to the area from the start
line to the end of the first turn..   There will be no midrace restarts, with the exception of a host disconnection problem.  Individual stutters, malfunctioning controls, tossings to the desktop and the
like will not be cause for restarting a race.

7> All of the race tracks will have specific instructions and rules that must be adhered to. Failure to comply may result in a pilot being disqualified. These rules will be featured in the mission briefing.

8> A committee of 3 judges (That are allowed to partake in the racing league) will be organized. This committee is expected to view race videos and decide on any disputes that should arise.
Any ruling of a judge is final and dispute decisions will be based on a vote basis. All races will be recorded and reviewed and any dispute, should there be any, decided upon.

9> If a pilot crashes during a heat, he can take no further part in that heat and must wait for the next one.  Crash landing with no damage to the aircraft constitutes a crash and will be treated as such. Any pilot re-spawning during a heat after crashing WILL be penalized.
A pilot may also be penalized for causing undue delays while lining up for the start.

10> This is meant to be both a training exercise (Learning how to push an aircraft to it's limits) and at the same time enjoyable. While winning is fun, flying with your friends and having a good belly laugh
should be equally, if not more so, important. Any pilot forgetting this may be asked to cease taking part in future races.

11> Going out of bounds means at any one point in the race your aircraft breaches the height on the objects to either side (draw a straight line across from one side the opposite side) if the downward wing tip
exceeds this point EXCEPT when discussed before the race or more than half of the aircraft goes out side the sideways boundary you must exit and reenter at the point or close to it as humanly possible to avoid
gaining any advantage, if you do not exit and reenter it is grounds for a disqualification of that heat.

SCORING has changed just a little instead of DNF and DQ getting just 2 points and not receiving a position. The first person to crash, or DQ (due to going out of bounds without circling back) will get last place and the last to crash or DQ will get the position after the last man to cross the finish line. The plane with the most time in air will receive the best position in a manner of speaking. So if we have 10 racers in heat one and 6 competitors cross the finish line, #7 pranged his prop on take off, #8 went out of bounds lap 1 turn 1 and #9 crashed last turn on lap 1 and #10 crashed mid point of lap 2
#7 would come in 10th place #8 9th place, #9 8th place and #10 would get 7th place.
I know this looks confusing, but I am trying to award those that fly the most in the heat and give points to their respective positions. If there are any questions please ask.


Here is the first track of the Spring Season  13-Hopen P-51

hey Fragg... I reviewed the race tracks and I think we should take a look at the results again...first heat is correct.... 2nd heat Lippy won by a nose...beating me out of 1rst.... I froze the finish line frame and unfortunatly for me lippy won by a propeller nose cover at the line..... 3rd heat  was lippy, hollywood, BBQ.. then nimble... check again but Im pretty sure this was the order of finish.. not sure about those further back,,,,,,,,,on another note... great course...great racing by all pilots...one hell of a kickoff to the racing season my friend :happy-112:    I know this takes alot of time but if you would like some help I offer my services to help take some of the load off of you..... you did a great job on the track and running the races....my compliments     it might be a good idea to have a couple of guys recording the races and reviewing the results to help out

  Great night of racing for the season opener.   Fun Track and some super close finishes.    :drinking-43:

I tried taking some practice laps for the next race on the Crazy Eight track and now I'm not sure if my game is porked or maybe it's my computer, or maybe it's just me but I haven't been able to make it past the first turn.   So far I've caught on fire at 1% throttle a lot, if I didn't catch  fire my engine would shut off after I taxied to a starting point and backed the  throttle to 0 power- it restarted easily enough . When I did get airborne I would explode in the first turn. Looked at my difficulty settings and as far as I can tell they're where they should be .
 
  Anyone else having any of this happen to them?

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_Bear on March 26, 2016, 05:07:29 PM
Normally jets, you have to keep the throttle low at about 80% or so then wait for the speed to build before you try full throttle. At take off a very slow gradual advance of the throttle and dont go beyond 80% for take off. As well the YP80 is notorious for "flaming out" with sudden drops in throttle adjustment..

My 2 cents

Post by: _AH_BBQhead on March 26, 2016, 09:53:24 PM
S~

No need to apologize, Fragg.  I wasn't complaining, I was just asking because I hadn't seen these things happen before.  I wanted to know if anyone else was having the same things happen before I started troubleshooting my game. No use trouble shooting if it's normal stuff going on.  I figured it was working for you since you built it.
We always include a jet race and a multi engine race each season.  If these things are normal  for that jet, I'm all for it since the idea of racing is to learn new stuff.

  I still don't know if my game or computer might be the problem.

Bear, thanks for the reply. The things you're talking about are all true, but I don't think that's what was happening to me.
  The fires were happening as soon as I started to move the throttle from 0 to 1% to begin to taxi.
  I wasn't getting any of the type of flame outs I'm used to seeing from jerking the throttle around. I would just taxi to a starting spot,  - about 60% throttle would start me moving then I would slowly reduce throttle to 0 as I gained some momentum, coast a little way to a stop, switch from external view to cockpit view,  sit there a moment and when I went to throttle up, nothing would happen until I restarted the engine - all of which I don't remember seeing happen before.
Eventually I got to the first corner  several times but would explode seemingly for no reason. Tried slowing down, even though I wasn't hearing any creaking, but kept exploding in the same spot.  All in all about 45 minutes and not getting past the first turn started me thinking something might be broken.

I tried it and had no issues at all, other than a typical lack of piloting skill.

Post by: _AH_fraggmann on March 26, 2016, 11:32:16 PM
The YP-80 is a fussy creature and I as well had some issues with the plane and the course.
Some of us flew this track last night and some issues arose. I think it best to come back to this
track at a later date after a re-build

All of my skins are on my old hard drive, in storage. The computer it was in died and I replaced it with a laptop so I haven't had machine to put that drive into to get anything off of it.

  So if you wanna make me racing skins, that would be appreciated.  The ol' In and Out theme is still good.. or if you wanna just have at it with something new, go for it.

Thanks for asking, Doc.

Congrats.to all and thanks to all for coming out every week.

I don't know, Fragg, but i'm guessing it's something simple.  I haven't used mission builder in a long time. Lots of stuff in there I've never seen before, but at least we can fly the track with the IK-3 now.

Lagg - Yep.  Spawn - Yep.  Looks good, Fragg..  except..lol.   


  Remember last season when I couldn't see the wire towers?  Well, I replaced my objects folder hoping that would correct the problem and it did, kinda.

  Previously I was only able to see the original wire towers- the chimney shaped wire frame. Now I can see some of the square shaped wire towers on this track, but I'm sure I'm not seeing all of them.    No need to change anything yet, though.   

My plan right now is to take a copy of this map and edit the towers and see how many different types of wire towers work in the game for me.. I also noticed the square towers I do see, some of them disappear and reappear as my distance from them changes - not flickering, solidly there for a kilometer or more, then gone for a few k, then reappear.  I might end up with a map with all of the towers replaced, or maybe there's something in m config that's gone out of whack,  I'll post an update a little later on what I figure out.

Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_fraggmann on November 11, 2016, 07:28:59 PM
Here is the new version of 10 Castle. I figured out why the plane
would spawn in in the air and drop and crash. The red sheet in mission builder
that makes grassy areas smooth needs to be as close/flat to the ground as
possible at the spawn point.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kdlu25hg7fqzb7y/Race%20%235%20%2010%20Castle.rar?dl=0

If I dont hear of any other issues, this is the version I will use Monday night.
BBQ you should be good. I placed chimneys into the radar towers.
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on November 11, 2016, 07:54:52 PM

Thanks,Fragg. I tried a bunch of stuff, and no luck.   I can see  chain home low towers, the wire frames that are about the same size and shape as the industrial chimney. 

There is a crazy looking wire tower I can see that's almost at the bottom of the objects list.. shurikoma tower or something like that.  It's quite a bit taller than the chimneys, and conical for the most part. I kind of like the idea of conical towers.   

The weird thing is I can see some of them some of the time.. I noticed they were disappearing and reappearing at the same time the detail of the more distant villages/ cities would draw in or out.  Then there were the ones that never showed up no matter what. 

So they're in my game, I see them in the stationary or static ini  list  and they'll show in the view object part of mission builder.  I'm thinking there might be a config setting that can correct my issue, or possibly a graphic property setting on my video card.  I tried a bunch so far,  there must be a combination that works.  I have no idea what it could be yet though.

S~  Gatlingun,  it works here. Lagg, good spawn, and lots and lots of chimneys. 


I think you might be loading the first version. Before you download or extract Fragg's  most recent release of the 10 Castle files, go into your Missions folder and rename or delete the files named "10 Castle". Do the same for the 10 Castle files in your Download folder.  Just clear out all of the older versions of 10 Castle before downloading the most recent version. Less chance of recopying the old one back in by accident that way.

Gat, I'm able to fly laps on the latest version.  I did get flipped up into the air as I approached the starting grid once, but took a route more towards the back of the grid after that and had no problems - other than this version still has radar towers I'm not able to see.  But, i can find my way.. I'll just be going by blue and red poles, other planes,  and tanks on the parts of the course where I don't see the other markers.

   I have an edited version.  I replaced the Radar Towers with ChainhomeLow Towers. I think the ChainhomeLow towers are a tiny bit shorter than the Radar Towers, but they're as high as the chimneys. 

  Not sure if everyone wants to DL another version.    :happy-016:

Your call, Fragg- Admin o' Fall 2016 AH Racing Season.   IF  you give the go ahead I'll upload it and post  a link. 
   I just did a text edit so the towers are exactly where they were. Used the "find and replace all" tool in Wordpad. copied and pasted back to Notepad, and viola, Bob's your Uncle.

I have that track, too - from a week or two ago.  The link Fragg posted serves up Bolzano or something like that with a Spit. 

This link is the one for next week , Bolzano:

Tomorrow's race is the Lagg.  The one I posted a link for with the ChainHomeLow towers since I coudn't see the Radar Tower_Receiver.

Hey Fragg...great job on the races.

I think my placing is a little off....end of last race I was in at 127 plus 31 for last night I think is 158 unless I am missing the CAD to USD conversion.

Hey Fragg,  Sum ting wong is my Co-pilot.  I reviewed all my race results...I somehow was given 18 more points than I deserve .  I did not race in races 1 or 4 yet my score jumped by 18 pts after race 4.  Corrected total for me for the season should be 140

Apologies to all.  I will now assume my rightful place. Back where I belong.

Thanks again Fragg...sorry for not catching it sooner! :idiot-0011: :help-sos-sos-29402:

S~

Congrats and thanks for a really  fun season, to all Racers. 

  Lots of thrills and spills all season long, not to mention all the fancy flying going on- especially after ticking a wingtip on a support wire.

  Thanks, Fragg for heading up the season.  Lot of good  plane and track combination choices.

Ghost, thanks for the skins. Best looking field of racers ever.
   

  What stands out to me the most this season  is the outstanding level of sportsmanship and the overriding, just for the fun of it all feeling everyone had throughout the entire series and at the same time always racing hard - and there was lots of tips sharing this season which I think added a lot.
      Thanks, everybody.

Gatling, yes.  It was discussed at the meeting but I don't think it was mentioned in the minutes. 

  Racing is being moved back to Wednesday evenings.  Fragg did some skilled negotiating at work and has time on Wednesdays now.

Mr Fraggman...  :drinking-29:    its my duty to submit that after reviewing the 4 lap race... I  DQed on the second lap missing two pylons .. to my great regrets..... so please  put me in last place as I did not go up and come back into the course where I was out of bounds... as I also watch Lippy do on the last lap.. he went back around and came back on to the course as per rules... also .. may I add that BBQ    I believe had a damaged plane due to spawning partially on a pylon... which reduced his ability to attain full speeds on the course   otherwise noting that there was some real good racing going on behind that superfast red paint on your plane Fragg   ... sure would like a rematch on this course with the same planes ..  well done all
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_BBQhead on August 31, 2017, 01:50:36 PM
S~

     Regarding Nip's post, I believe  it's the primary reason AH has the staying power it does. Gamesmanship always comes first and Nipples calling himself out as well as looking out for the other guy is another great example of it.   

  As for my unlucky spawn point, I didn't notice any significant difference in speed from practice lap speeds I had run offline leading up to the race when I had clear spawn points and the speeds I was running during the race, ybe because by the time I should have been at top speed I had already whacked a few chimneys, just like I did practicing.  I'm well satisfied with the my race results as I mentioned after we had finished last night.       :drinking-42:

  The only change I would like to see is the use of different objects ( that I can see ) on the left and right sides of the track. I don't think that can happen easily enough on the tracks that are already built though.  I understand that not seeing the wire towers is the root of the problem I and maybe a couple of others have due to what I'm guessing is a limitation of the graphics cards used in the machines that don't render those wire towers; and the huge amount of time it would take to edit those tracks makes it unreasonable to expect any further changes there.   
The only suggestion I can come up with is to ask that for any future tracks that are built, I might even decide to build a few someday, would be keep using the wire towers as I'm pretty sure they are used because they are the tallest object in the game, but use the Aloha Tower on the wire tower side of the track and use the Chimney  ( or possibly there's an even better object that's been added that I don't know about ) on the other side. The Aloha Tower has been used on older tracks and is slightly taller than the chimney but more importantly it makes it a lot easier to see the track more clearly than seeing only chimneys on both sides as only a couple of us do. 
Since chimneys are already on both sides of the tracks, there's no quick way to change the already built tracks, as in a one time use of the  Find and Replace feature won't change only one side of the track and it would need to be done manually for every chimney along one side of the track, it's not worth the time and trouble for already built tracks. Plus I think Fragg already took the time to edit them to add chimneys because of the inability of a couple of guys to see the wire towers so asking Fragg to edit them again is out of the question as far as I'm concerned. And I would feel bad about it even if he volunteered because I'm not willing to edit them manually and he's already spent extra time editing them.       
So to be more concise,  even though it would be  a welcome change going forward to see a different tower on each side of the tracks I'm good with the added challenge of seeing a sea of towers and going nearly crosseyed on the twistier tracks that are already built. Fragg's tracks are very well laid out tracks. They're interesting, varied,  detailed, challenging, and fun - the part that counts the most.

Post by: _AH_fraggmann on August 31, 2017, 06:54:56 PM
Nimble thank for your honesty. I also feel that it is not a big deal. Your going out of bounds as briefly
as you did will not really affect the out come of the race or the standings. If no one else objects and please voice your objection,
I would like to leave the results as they stand. BBQ I have no problems editing any track as many times as needed with objects
that can seen by all. I usually pick a track then go in and edit as needed before posting it.
We only had 5 racers last night. If you other 4 racers would like to run this race over, please vote here "Yay" or "Nay"
and we shall go with the majority. And BBQ I will go in and remove that chimney. I agree with Nimble, spawning into the
chimney probably did cause F/M damage.
These are the choices I'm offering.. Re-do the race or keep the results as they are... (wavey)

In race #18 heat #2 Bear you clearly went out of bounds. I know BBQ saw this and
Im sure others did as well. I know I did, but because this is your first season and I would
like to see everyone have fun and enjoy, I let a lot of things slide in the name of fun and participation.
I will review the track and make any corrections.

Next season (if I am permitted to host) the scoring will remain the same.
Some of the existing rules I would like to change or return to their original.
Once this season comes to its end I will post proposed revisions to the rules
and submit them to AH exec. for approval. Or I could by-pass all this and just
go back to the original  rules... Tell me what all you racers think..please

I would like to formally request a revision for the last race, so that it is to be flown using a reciprocating powered airplane :)

S~ Racers

  Thanks everyone for a fun, competitive, educational, occasionally irritating but more often funny season.  Picked up another trick or two for the speed bag o'tricks. I think everyone got a little faster this season.  Looking forward to next season.

Fragg, great track building. Thanks for running things, too.

Our (my family) re-location is done so now I can start planning the next race season.
April 25th 20:00 C.S.T. I will host a fun type race just for giggles then May 2nd will be the first of
21 races. Point structure will remain the same. Starting grid will be choice of spot
for the top 4 finishers of the last heat..eg; 4th place picks first.. 3rd place picks 2nd.. 2nd place picks 3rd
and 1st place picks 4th. All others pickem as you likem

Ishould be back to make the racing season Fragg.. and look forward to another exciting season of your great tracks :happy-112:
Title: Re: _AH_Racing League
Post by: _AH_fraggmann on April 27, 2018, 01:59:56 AM
S~ all   :happy-112:  So...Here we go, another race season. Im sure this
one should be alot of fun. You fellas that jumped in mid season, heres your
chance. The only changes are in the starting grid. eg; " from the last heat"
1st. gets 4th.pick...2nd. gets 3rd. pick...3rd. gets 2nd. pick...4th. gets 1st. pick.

Everyone Please stay off the starting grid until the first 4 have
selected a position. After they have their spot an official will call two names or numbers.
these two will select their spot..then the next two...etc

Hopefully  this works....Im open to ideas for the starting positions.

Here is the first of 24 races...should be fun... most of you know this course
