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.

"What the hell, let's see what happens"?  Me too.

Had a chance to test out BBQ's track finally.

While it is very cool, some one kindly disable his mission builder please!!!!!

I'm starting a betting pool on how many guys survive or do not get disqualified by the end of a race. 0 is already taken!

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.

Sounds good BBQ. Thank you for all your hard work on this track.

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
