[Jan 3]Honolulu Air and Land Races (YSCAS)

[Neocon]

The YS Civil Aviation Server and PMNV Creations present an afternoon of action in Honolulu with
The YSCAS Air and Ground Race: Honolulu


SERVER: civav.ddns.net

WHEN: January 3, 2015, at 1:00 PM Central Time (7:00 PM GMT)

WHAT IT IS: An air race around Honolulu, starting at PHNL, followed by a ground race at Sand Island Raceway.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Log in on the day of the race. Racers will be assigned start positions by a surprise method announced just before the race. Because the modifications to the map have not be released, practice for the air race will require logging into YSCAS starting on January 1. The halos will be present, or you can activate a race using the OpenYS commands.

FLIGHT PLAN: YSCAS will be using OpenYS and will take advantage of the new racing system coded by OfficerFlake. For the air race, halo ground objects have been placed around Honolulu at varied altitudes. The aircraft used will be the stock P-51 Mustang. Differently-colored smoke is encouraged (set smoke to noodle for better frame rates).

AIRCRAFT INSTALLED: The only aircraft required for this race will be the stock aircraft and Zak's Murcielagos.

MAP: Hawaii Extended and PMNV Ground Objects (From the same web page.)

participants will also need to download the .dat updates for the murcielagos.

[Neocon]

Good catch. They are at the top of the same page as the rest of the cars.

How understand next

The aircraft used will be the stock P-51 Mustang.

The only aircraft required for this race will be the stock aircraft and Zak's Murcielagos.

So?

P.S.: Think its too large map for racing. Need some light version of it and of cars...

[Neocon]

Actually, you have a point. It won't be any trouble for me to move the whole thing over to the smaller Hawaii 2014 map that is in the same package.

The stock P-51 Mustang that comes with YSF is quite maneuverable and my experience is that it is the perfect aircraft for flying between the buildings.

I wish YSF came with a stock race car, or at least a sports car. Zak's Murcielagos are not all that straining on YSF in my experience, but we'll see what happens.

Glad to see this worked out well! I'll be working more on the code to fix a few of these problems - until then!
