DiscusX required
CumulusX recomended
SimLogger sugested
A 40nm leg g&r thermal race on a late spring day.

All 5 contestants are currently in the air.
You have yourself closest to the start line, it's farther away then it looks ....
Hold that left turn you are in,
i'll bet that thermal is gonna pop in about a minute .......

great race reporting!
it's just a shame that the race specs called for a winch launch that day ......
hodge - glad you came along for the ride, but you started with an aerotow ..........

-
i think i got it this time ........
-
here are my 2 best attempts, a 58:28 and a 59.29
or mabe not
.....
-
current winch record 58:28.6 by ....... me
peter - i started with a 9k limit, and made it around the course in 1:02
hodge wanted me to leave it there, but i changed it to 10k
the margin on the gaps - it's all desciding the speed to fly
do i fly fast and burn altitude, and have extra energy to punch thru the sink
or do i fly slow and get there higher, but be slower going thru the sink
it's all about seat of the pants flying, and eyeing the angle
i never ment this to be an easy course, if you complete the race you shoould
be very happy with your flight

Did you ever wonder what b21's Austrian Day 2 race would be like with CumulusX?
Well, today is your lucky day!
The LOWZ flyoff - 5 pilots flying at the same time around the course after a yacht style start
Soar DG808S, CumulusX, and sim_logger required
file name LowzFlyoff.zip
-
here is a direct link to the folder
http://www.box.net/shared/o0ibtoidpu
the zip of the race is named LszsFlyoff.zip
the mission comes with 4 igcs ( the first 4 times i flew the course )
when you can beat thoes guys and want real race
download LszsIgc.zip
in fsx...missions\soaring\lszs\mission are the igc files
delete the 4 vspud files and extract the files from lszsigcs.zip into that folder
hodge (H07) has the best time so far
-
does the re-play function of sim_logger synchronize the time of the re-plays with the time of the current flight?
ie - if i do a yacht style ( count-down timer ) start to a race
for the re-plays that the player will see - start the mission, do a quick 180 turn, and re-start the igc log
( so the player will not see the other planes to begin with )
this igc will start at a slightly latter time than the player starts
are the re-play times synched with the cyrrent mission time?

i am getting a bad zip error when i try to un-zip the 102
could someone try the current file and tell me if it works or not
thanks

don't feel bad, i landed out the first 2 times that i tried it
if you get the full version of cumx you will get a wing tilt when hitting lift which helps to see which side the lift is on
after i got the full version i managed to finish the race
try, try again
