2009 Round-the_World Race Overview

all I can offer is this:

Play this in the background while you fly:kilroy:

Now remember, in spite of obstacles and strong competition, the trophy is sitting somewhere in Ickie's basement under all the hardware.. or is it Moe's, or maybe it went over to Tx's .. hmmmm.. anyway, we HAVE it! It's a nice trophy, but there's no place to drink from it :ernae: but we should still do everything we can to hold on to it in 2009!

Crew volunteers are rolling in at a nice pace (17 so far with 15 planning to fly).

In the next couple of days I hope to have some general info posted in a separate thread about the basics of RTW racing (aircraft, software, hardware issues, time involved...) for those who may be curious but aren't sure what's really involved.

Detailed and technical discussions will, as usual, be handled in the "Hideout" which is access-restricted to Team Members and SOH Admins for obvious reasons. We'll try to keep the topics as organized as possible to make for a gentle learning-curve but feel free to ask questions about any subject even if you think it's 'too obvious or basic'.

Anyone who's been excited about past events but not sure their flying skills are up to the challenge should still consider signing up... practice sessions will be a good chance to learn, and maybe you'll find a niche to fit into other than flying.

Boogity, boogity, boogity ... let's go RACING!

Hmm, I'd say send that song to the other two teams - they're the ones who need to overcome this year! We've done overcommed last year! :d As for the trophy, I think it's on display in the bar over at the Cantina, and under the watchful eye of certain Merc-Air pilots and crew members...
 
Things a little slow here?

I noticed BOTH MM and Tornado eyeing the CV6 Enterprise thread, at the same time....

A carrier in our race future??
 
Yall ought to think about setting up a couple of planes for carrier landings.

Some day you may find one in a practice or the race. :whistle:

The FS9 default USS Kitty Hawk sits off of San Francisco. Not sure where the default carrier is located in FS8 or FSX.

Not sure how you'd attach the more common carrier programs to it. I use the original carrier operations gauge pack that doesn't require zones to land or launch. The AlphaSim F7F Tigercat works very well with it. (and the addon USS Lexington world cruise and other add on carriers I've got installed)
 
Fantastic! Had hoped another team would come along sooner or later. Good luck to you all Martin. :ernae:

Welcome to the asylum Martin (and team FS-MP):wiggle:

Feel free to ask (there are more questions than you can imagine) and we'll try to help where we can. On the other hand, some here will say "don't follow us - we're usually lost":173go1:
I'm sure a couple of us will try to pop into one of your open sessions before the race if we can get that new-fangled sim to run.

As a member of FS-MP since the start. I must say we are both excited and honored to be part of this race. Thank you for the opportunity to join and we look forward to meeting some of you in the future.
